Timed out pings do not mean there's an internet problem; they could simply be blocked by a firewall rule, and are not an indicator of network performance in this case. GG is not lagging you. lol
Since you said other games are working fine, and your internet seems to be working fine for other stuff in general, I'm guessing that your ISP (or the routers between your ISP and the Nexon servers) have messed up route tables. What this means is, routers might not be able to forward packets to the Nexon servers efficiently. Another cause could be a technical failure at the ISP, causing link congestion. There could be a firewalling/trottling rule on the ISP, which mistakenly slows down Maple's connection. Finally, you might have a firewall on your computer that's screwing with your connection.
Some things to try:
1) Try pinging 63.251.217.13 -- I believe this is the IP for the Nexon MapleStory game servers. Paste the result here, I'm just curious. lol
2) Disable any firewall you have.
3) Unplug your modem, wait about 20 seconds, and plug it back in. This will reset your connection.
4) Some ISPs seem to have bad performance with Maple, except when you have a VoIP connection running, such as Skype and/or Ventrilo, so try connecting to those. I don't know how those ISPs' weird bandwidth shaping rules are written, but it has helped two friends of mine with their lag problems before. I guess they give your connection higher priority if they see you using Vent. Oh well.
But unfortunately, I have the feeling that you haven't made any changes to your PC/network setup to make this lag appear. It's likely a problem with your ISP. So...
5) Call your ISP and tell them you're getting very high network latency (lag) with Maple's game servers. They might ask you for Maple's IP, for them to test the connection themselves.
6) Submit a ticket with Nexon. In the past, there have been lag issues that were caused by Nexon's network equipment. I remember they were asking for people who were lagging to submit tickets, but that was over a year ago. Still, doesn't hurt to do it.
