2011-08-07 GMS Outage

Sigh!
I wanted to hit 199 today lol. I hope when its finally up they extend tonight's 2x Events..

All channels were up a while ago but now it went chaos again.

Ohhh craap what should I do to kill my time now.

Dam El Nido is just chinchillin. Hurry guys lets all move to the east coast sever

Waitaminute.

If the problem is power outage, why are we seeing a christmas tree? Shouldn't it be red across the board (except for El Nido)?
How are servers and channels yo-yoing up and down with no electricity? How can two channels on the same physical machine not be the same color?
Or are all greens actually false positives?

This is what I have been wondering...

"The MapleStory game and website are currently offline. We're taking a look at the issue and will let everyone know when we have an update. Thank you!"
...is the only thing Nexon says on Facebook. Sheesh, more info please.

I knew we had 3 login servers, but what does login server ch20 mean?

Looks that way.

Eos, is Login Server #20 the master login server?

Yep

Red Blinking = All logins down, or master login down.
Red = More than 50% of the normal channels are down but logins are fine.
Yellow = Less than 50% of channels are down and logins are fine.
Green = All good.

A recap for those too lazy to read.

looking optimistic... everything is up but the master login server... now, just flick that switch...

...then why does the MS site still not load?

This is where I hate that GameLauncher has never worked for me, on any computer.

Yeah, basically. All though, I wonder how long the power outage may take. It can take from days to weeks.

Sigh.

Sigh.

hey, I just got here.
Also, that doesn't really explain it.

Outage only for login server and nexon site?

Sigh.

Then how come all servers but the master login have been up for at least 15 minutes?

Outage only for login server and nexon site?

I think it's the entire nexon site. I can't log in to Dragon nest either.

Just want to say I totally love the idea of having this GMS Status implemented.

all subdomains of nexon.net are affected

Doesn't take that long to read 100-something posts. (No harsh tone intended.)

As for why the servers are doing what they are, I wouldn't know. All I know is that it's possible that they're experiencing either a blackout, or an unstable power supply. I'm not in their office.

I just read everything. And I'm still not sure why channel 20 (master login) is the only one down. If it's a blackout, then unless they house the master login server in a different place from the others (maybe not a bad idea), I can't see why the site is still down.

It would both not surprise me and surprise me if perhaps Nexon is running diagnostics on their servers and waiting for everything to clear up before they flip the switch to allow players to log on. An unexpected power outage and really mess up system settings. Surprise me because I like to label them incompetent. Not surprise me because that's a smart thing to do for any IT professional to do.
