Well, I actually have my hopes up for this too.I agree. This doesn't seem like your usual "server" upgrade stuff. Plus it was in the dev blog and Eyurdice made a BIG deal about it. Well not BIG but she said it would be massive. Here:
Yes, we know Nexon America often screws up. But they probably finally realised that their game needed those fixes which they could not provide (due to not enough knowledge, maybe), so they decided to do a huge server upgrade with the very experienced staff from Korea, so that might mean fixes of memory leaks and lots of other bugs which have been affecting the game lately. And maybe security upgrades and whatnot.
I do know that Nexon has been screwing up A LOT lately, but.. now that there's the official team on the works, I don't see why not hoping for this to turn out in something good.
I guess we'll wait and see.
LOL @ how they trolled us by doing events and pomegranate on Sleepywood instead

While preparing the update over the past few months, however, it became clear that our servers need some significant upgrades. While weve continuously made small changes and improvements while working on updates, what we really need now are some major changes requiring a dedicated effort from the MapleStory team.Eyurdice has been pretty truthful on the things shes said so I'm willing to believe her.
With this goal in mind, weve decided to first complete what were calling a server update. This is a pure backend update that wont include any player-facing content. We knew that it would be frustrating for players to have to deal with a downtime and an update only to log back in to the game and find that nothing had changed, so I wanted to let you know that it was coming. While you wont see any changes after the server update, it should greatly improve the game in the long run.
