Dear Maplers,

We will be performing a scheduled server maintenance on November 10, 2011. The maintenance will last approximately six hours. During this period, all game servers will be unavailable.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

-Time-
Pacific: 7:00 AM - 1:00 PM Thursday, November 10, 2011
Eastern: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Thursday, November 10, 2011

-What-

• The following will be unavailable:
  All MapleStory game servers
  

-Changes and Updates-

• Due to a serious issue, the sidekick system will be blocked for the foreseeable future.
  
• Lv.70+ familiar cards will be available from monster drops and Booster Packs.
  
• The drop rate for familiar cards has been increased up to 10x for all levels of monsters.
  
• Booster Pack change: Instead of receiving two common cards and one uncommon or rare cards, the following change will be implemented:
  The first card will still be common, the second will now have a 50/50 chance of being common or uncommon, and the third will have a 60% chance to be uncommon and a 40% chance to be rare.
  

-Known Issue-
An error message will appear when attempting to to feed the pets from the packages their special Cash Shop food. We advise any future pet owners of these permanent pets to purchase pet food from your local pet merchant with mesos until we can resolve this issue in next week's maintenance.

For your troubles, any permanent pet purchases this week will receive a complimentary bundle of 11 Cash Shop pet food specific to the purchased pet during the next week's maintenance.


- The Maple Team -

Not surprised about sidekick being blocked, lol. I'm more surprised that it's been going on for this long.

Good news about the lvl 70+ monsters dropping familiars, though. Woo!

The drop rate for familiar cards has been increased up to 10x for all levels of monsters.

Great news. Also lol @ killing off the sidekick system.

WELP! TIME TO STOP HUNTING FAMILIAR 'TIL THE SERVER CHECK!

To think I spent time hunting them ;_;

LOL
"serious issue" = "we read that people won't buy GT tickets as long as sidekick is better exp"

Nice about the familiars.

AHAHAHA, GOLDEN TEMPLE YOUR ASS UP B'ITCHES!

is all i read.

happy about the card stuff though.

Was it just due to sidekick allowing you to level 9999999999999999x faster then anything else ever before?

10x increase in familiar drop rate?

Well... that just blows. Any kind of "difficulty" in this game and Nexon America dilutes that with everything they can, huh?

Might be the sidekick accuracy bug? Not sure. Glad I got my characters through those levels already, not that it was even remotely difficult :|

Rarity wouldn't have been an issue if it weren't for the fact NexonAM made our familiars temporary.

Yeah, but now lower level monster familiars are going to be killing everyone's inventory spaces. :X

YEsssssssssssssssssssss, familiarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssss

YEsssssssssssssssssssss, familiarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssss

where's my empress-ho?

where's my empress-ho?

who the heck gets a empress familiar? You can get the same stat familiar from Coco, dragonoir, Ani f3

I believe allowing level 15s to level through 70-100+ mobs is the problem.

Who cares about the stats!? It's all about the pizazz!
There's a reason why Jr. Wraith is one of the most popular familiars in the game right now lol.

Lol nexon how you make me smile all the time.

They prob came into southperry an saw that sidekick leech was better.
I don't see any problem other the lvling faster but I mean they did test this right. Oh wait it's nexon
They should of released GT first then sidekick lol. More bling bling oh well.

No one even tested it in GMST either, this wasn't entirely Nexon's fault.

I figured it was glitched in Tespia or something.

pretty sure before they release tespia to the public, nexon does test on it's content.
I mean letting a lvl 15 get exp from lvl 11xmobs aka in ludi? They need to focus on programming rather then money.
Greedy tax avoiding company. I don't play as often any more maybe 1 time per week for 30mins all I do is
Burn mesos but I seem to make more then what I can burn.
Sorry If I went off topic but they are just things up faster

Yes, it was. They didn't explain what it was or how to test it. They just said, "here ya go. Have fun with it."
