[quote=jdog745]Did they fix the morph.wz issue? I think that's what it is called. I'm re-patching it right now.[/quote]

A friend muttered that the big, 300 MB patch is the one with the corrupted Morph.wz and said MapleStory patched aren't supposed to be that large. My new client just tried downloading that beast. I turned it off because I can't execute patches anyway.

Just to be sure... at what patch version are we now? The client I downloaded yesterday was not yet up-to-date and the one I just tried downloading was that same one.

FYI...

"Scheduled maintenances are performed each week, now typically [b]Wednesday or Thursday morning[/b], to ensure that our servers and network infrastructure are working as intended. During that time we may also change Cash Shop sales, and sometimes maintenances will improve the game's performance or resolve technical issues. Maintenances do not require patching or any downloads afterwards. We typically [b]notify[/b] about weekly maintenances about [b]24 hours[/b] before a maintenance."

Source: http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/maintenance/announcements/00Ewq/maintenance-vs-game-updates

Conclusion: Always be alert on Wednesday or Thursday morning, regardless of what they say.

[quote=Warbutcher]@Pavchka: Also the fact that they tell you not to buy Tyrant equips yet in the next patch they release a way to get the tyrant equips without probably deleting the old hacked ones. >.>[/quote]

Apparently they deleted the old ones- not sure though since I haven't been playing in a while and don't get involved with "newer items" (which I usually can't afford). It would have been sucky if they'd first released legitimate Tyrant equips and then released -whoops!- there are still illegitimate equips out there and solved the solution by erasing all Tyrant equips, including the legitimate ones.
Didn't they do something similar about some duped items?

[quote=Pavchka]Yes, it was offline for a [i]really[/i] long time. I learned to make a habit out of not playing for the first two days after the release of a new content patch. I prefer to wait until the bugs and errors have been weeded out (technically I should wait forever *cough*).[/quote]

true that (the last part)

[quote=FrozenFlameO]@Pavchka: Sorry, I don't quite understand? You're saying would have stopped playing the game if you put money into it? wordzbeconfusing

OFFTOPIC: Where'd all the other mods go? It's like they all disappeared...

@inemnitable:

wow that made me lol really hard.[/quote]

If I pay for a game, I want something worthwhile in return (like good management. Not saying Nexon's is bad per se, but they have a serious bureaucracy problem, even more than us here). I never bought NX and I'm happy I never did. I wouldn't have been frustrated beyond belief.
I'm a cheapo by nature so I always think thrice before I spend any money.

As for the mods: I'm at the moment the most active of the bunch, the others are either busy in real life or they only post in specific sections. BobR for example can be spotted in the Tech section a lot.

[quote=FrozenFlameO]Why do we still play this game?[/quote]

I don't think I'd still be playing the game if I'd ever invested a penny in it (I'm cheap). The game isn't worth that IMO. But as free games go it's good enough.

[quote=inemnitable]We used to joke in my guild about "Zakum used Server Maintenance! It's Super Effective!"[/quote]

lol, nice one.

[quote=Pavchka]Or maybe you give them too little. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Nexon lover, but they've also done a few things right in the past. I don't have the idea Nexon America's employees have as much power or influence as people attribute to them (bureaucracy, bureaucracy and more bureaucracy).

Though that 2 hour Server Check that was extended until it took... what was it? 36 hours? Yeah, that was ridiculous.[/quote]

[quote=Pavchka]It's actually good, it's means they're going to fix something. XD

But yeah, it's annoying when it happens when you're in the middle of something, and the notice is posted literally minutes before. "HEY GUYS I'M AT ZAKU- SRSLY [i]NOW[/i], NEXON?"
Been there, done that.[/quote]
