Lag since .75 Patch?

I believe Nexon did some major 'upgrade' to their hardware components during the lolmaintenance.

Extended Weekly Maintenance Complete



Greetings players,



Our scheduled weekly maintenance lasted much longer than we had originally anticipated, and we sincerely apologize to our players for the delay. For the last several weeks, we've been planning upgrades for many aspects of our service, with the goal of improving the performance of our games and website. The first step of implementing those upgrades began with today's maintenance, which focused on hardware upgrades. In addition, we were adding major content updates for both MapleStory and Combat Arms.



Unfortunately, while these upgrades were being performed, an unexpected network outage occurred that added several hours to the total maintenance time. Though the network outage was an unexpected event we couldn't have anticipated, we wanted to extend our apologies to our players, and explain what resulted in this outage.



Sincerely,

The Nexon team
