I saw this coming. I know you did too.

Expected this :S That earthquake was terrible.
I'm still trying to get news about a very old friend that was in a trip to Tokyo by that time.

Atleast it's temporary |:

Please put temporary in title. When i first saw the thread i thought they lost their whole office cause of the quake.

You can't blame them.

Done.

that's shocking.

I was wondering when this notice would be posted. A day or two of earthquake news and no notice from NexonJP? I thought they were unscathed or something. Sucks.

If someone has the balls to say something along the lines of "They suck, they have bad service for doing this", etc, he'd deserve a kick to the teeth.

Hope everything gets sorted there soon... Luckily, they already have a good protection against earthquakes... If it happened here, in Spain, I'd say there would be nothing else standing.

And we all know the reason why Japan have good protection.

Anyways, how long will the "Temporary Shutting down" last? I'd say at least 2 weeks, how about you guys?

2 weeks seems real short.
I'm guessing 1-2 months :x

I wouldn't set it that high... getting the power system stable to the (presumably) urban areas will be accomplished quite fast.

Course it depends what was actually damaged, and what got shut down for safety checks, but I'd expect it up within the week. Nexon doesn't make money when their services are down.

I'm more worried about their server data. Hope none of it got wet from the tsunamis.

I'm pretty sure they're fine. Most of their modern buildings (if their servers were in them) can withstand earthquakes and tsunamis..

I just hope everyone at Nexon is okay.

Just to verify, is MapleStory JP down right now?

No.

No.

My country is probably blocked then.
