[Complete] Unscheduled Maintenance - January 6, 2014

A guy in my guild has had his Phantom locked out since July. Nexon has even responded to him by saying they are sending the issue to KMS, because GMS could not figure out how to fix it.

Oh my god don't say that. I'm so scared I just wanna be freeee to drop things.

OT: I'll be really surprised if they un-hellban anyone during this :T I was expecting hellban + new years store to be addressed during the weekly wednesday morning maintenance

No it isnt that he is hellbanned, it is that he cant even log on to it. Error 38'd

I forgot about the normal weekly maintenance... I hope they just cancel it and do everything during this one, seems silly to take the game down twice in one week if they can avoid it.

[Complete] The maintenance is complete as of 5:00 PM Pacific. Cash items in your inventory have been extended to cover the amount of time the game was unavailable. This maintenance was to fix the server restarts only.

We will be performing an unscheduled maintenance on January 6, 2014. It will last approximately 2 hours.

Thanks for your patience!

Time: Monday, January 6 , 2014
Pacific: 3:15 PM - 5:15 PM
Eastern: 6:15 PM - 8:15 PM


What will be unavailable:

• All MapleStory game servers.
  

Changes and Updates:

• Back end modifications and updates will be made to the servers.
  
• A fix will be applied for the server restarts.
  

Blackchiper memory leaks is back.... fix this in the schedule sc nexon

What the hell is going on with Black Cipher, and these memory leaks. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen prior to this SC.

So its not just me good god this thing is sucking up memory like theres no tomorrow, never seen it do this before.

Looks like my memory cleaner will be put to full-use :|.

lul going strong every minute.

It's not just eating memory, it's force closing the game on people.

peach and a half to find that out on a Commerci Voyage.

I disconnected and got a error message saying "Black Cipher Hacking Detected, MapleStory Will be shutting down"
I should have taken a screen shot. Has anyone gotten this message. I don't use hacks or any 3rd party program.
Should I be worried about a false ban? :f6:

Unfortunately, the scheduled maintenance applies to more of Nexon's games, and not just Maplestory.
So, even if you had an emergency server check on a Wednesday, a scheduled one would still take place afterwards.

it's doing this to everyone. It automatically does it when the ram starts to leak too much. it's basically the equivalent to maple crashing from leaking ram, except now there's two sources of the same crash. -_-

oh ok, it startled me a bit

That's not true at all. They've skipped the regular weekly maintenances these past couple weeks due to having Unscheduled Maintenances earlier in the week to fix bugs/glitches. If you look here you can even see that we haven't had anything "scheduled" since the last patch.
The only time they have to take all the games down at the same time is when they're updating the clock, so like daylight savings and things like that.

I'm not making this stuff up, it's what Waltzing said in the forums once. I can look for the exact post, if you'd like.
Not having any maintenance during the last month could possibly be due to most of the staff being on holiday.

EDIT: I take it back. It seems Waltzing was talking about the monthly maintenance and not the weekly ones:

[05:24:23 AM] Maryse: I just want to know if you're going to merge the 2 maintenances together ._.
[05:24:31 AM] Waltzing: Just the fixes.
[05:24:41 AM] Waltzing: There will be two maintenances anyway.
[05:24:48 AM] Maryse: So the game's gonna go up (maybe) and then back down within just a few hours?
[05:24:49 AM] Waltzing: But the fixes will come with this one.
[05:24:59 AM] Waltzing: Unfortunately.
[05:25:03 AM] Maryse: That's weird.
[05:27:46 AM] Waltzing: It's the monthly maintenance for things shared in some part by all the games (login and billing systems).
[05:29:22 AM] Maryse: what happens if this maintenance isn't done before the next maintenance?
[05:30:03 AM] Waltzing: They combine.
[05:30:16 AM] Maryse: So that's the only way to merge the both, huh?
[05:30:23 AM] Waltzing: Yup!

I have no clue if scheduled server check apply to all of Nexon's games.

That's one way of making sure no third-party programs run: use up all available memory. And then some.

Also, someone in my alliance got their hellban lifted.

And Cipher caused me to dc at Red Grosso. Right after my first Livyatan kill. Fuck you Nexon.

I have started to treat Commerci runs the same as major boss runs: I close my browser and restart Maple before I do them. So far it's working, but probably in a patch or two even that won't be enough. Damn resource-hogging memory-leaking 2D side-scroller.

WHAT. REALLY. That's it, I'm trying to gather some information. This stupid issue is too weird.

EDIT: This blue text will take you to a thread I made, in case anyone could help with it. The way the glitch works is VERY weird. Any theory is also appreciated.
