Problems starting Maplestory

So whenever i click play through the online website,

about 90% of the time, it gives me the message that MS is inavailable, and the only option is to click ok.

This has forced me to click the "play" button multiple times, and one of these times it will actually load the game, the other 9 times, it just loads the textbox telling me its unavaiable..

Anyone know how to fix?

Use GameLauncher.

The exact error is

Hackshield initalization error (0x000000206(518)
error is due to unknown problem


and then the game doesn't start. I tried using the launcher, same result.

And today, cliking multiple times doesn't even work anymore, that's because when the patcher loads to update the game, it doesn't complete, because it says "there is an error downloading the new content".

Is the only way to fix to uninstall and re-install?
