I like how the homepage redirects you to a different maintenance notice.

I predict an extension

Well, nice to know the time.
I hope they will fix a few last minute stuff. Hm...

Probably found and exploit within the whole "50k mesos for the egg" type of event...I could see hackers setting up macro and such and just get free mesos all day and night.

Two exploits were already posted about in the scheduled maint thread.

You could get infinite Eyes of Fire, and you could buy any Circulator from Azwan (I'm assuming Azwan). Also the regular store permit wasn't in CS.

Channels aren't even beginning to turn on, probably another hour extension

[Update] The maintenance has been extended. We sincerely apolgize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Please check back for udpates.

Indefinite update.

Lets hope it means only few mins more.

Well, I guess this is to be expected from a game update.

Why did I even bother waking up early to get a door spot?

No ending hour = new patch + 6 hours

Why did I even bother waking up early to get a door spot?

Because you have hope that one day, Nexon might get it right

I didn't go to bed last night, anticipating being able to get to 199 and then leveling to 200 for the first time when I wanted to.

Lets hope it means only few mins more.

When it's just a few minutes, they don't bother updating the notice at all.

My guesses:
An extension with no end time usually means "we've sent an SOS to Korea, waiting for them to figure out a solution." This would happen if, for example, they don't have a live-production build to install, and are having a problem generating it (doesn't compile or whatever).
Hopefully this time it just means "we've started the rollback but don't know how long it will take." (The actual rollback is just a database restore-from-backup, which shouldn't take long. But reimbursing people for NX spent is more problematic.)

Ah well, all we can do is wait and see.

I think the indefinite maintenance will probably mean they are doing a mini rollback. They probably saw that they Admin mode was on and knew they had to fix it, but in that process they probably read up on the exploits that happened and decided to take action.

well the servers are starting to come up

edit: they all went down again

Aaaand they go back down.
