Nexon Wrote:Dear Maplers,
We want to thank all our players who?ve been actively playing MapleStory lately. It?s been an exciting summer so far! Since we?ve seen a lot of player traffic, we will be improving our login servers to handle the additional population. We will begin the upgrade process tomorrow morning around 10AM Pacific time. Players should see no downtime during this process, but we definitely wanted to provide early notice just in case.
Thanks, and happy Mapling!

I hope this means both more channels for Scania and they're recognizing the need for cutting of registration there.

Sounds like they're just going to add a 4th login server to the
F5 Load Balancer.

I would just like to see 25-30 channels on the older worlds and 20ish on the 3 newest ones.
More channels = less KS = happier players = more 2x bought = happy Nexon.
Everyone wins cept the KSing assnuggets?

It is clear they underestimated how popular Cygnus would become. They will have to upgrade game servers soon. Today's 2x lag was the worst of all time.

So, what's this mean? That we Scanians will be able to log in without getting the annoying "CONCURRNENT USERS IN THIS WORLD HAS REACHED THE MAX", but we'll still feel the same lag in-game?

Because I wrote software to monitor them during server checks to be one of the first to login if I want to be. I demonstrated that this patch by claiming 3 FM 1 spots just because I could. It might not specifically be an F5, but it's a similar technology to alternate the login servers in a round-robin so they can funnel all logins through those gateways until you get to your designated world.
Since there are much fewer login servers than game servers, if the game servers themselves back up and won't accept connections the login server suddenly crowds too because everyone is stuck there and people start getting rejected. Nasty little choke point.
