Not too much point in speculation, but hey, I'm bored too.
The random channel crashes and/or hangs (when it's green but can't be played in) are probably attributable to software bugs, either triggered at random or "assisted" by dupers.
The Khaini channels staying down puzzles me, because they normally have an automatic restart. Even if not, a human should have noticed they were down by now and manually restarted. On the other hand it doesn't seem like a hardware problem because the computers themselves are up and online (otherwise the latency would be ~20 seconds, not 0.07 as normal).
It could be some kind of data corruption (either in the application or in the OS, possibly disc full or something like that) or hardware problem in some peripheral, which makes the auto-restart of the Maple channel application keep failing. In that case, the fact they are up now is encouraging, because it means whatever it was got fixed.
Anyway, we already know Nexon's coding sucks. We also know their game monitoring is pitiful. Attempting to pinpoint just exactly which is to blame for our current suffering is rather pointless.
