With 1 hour of the estimated Zero patch time left

Hey, everyone.

With one hour remaining within Nexon's estimated patch duration for the upcoming Zero patch, I thought I'd just get ahead of the whining before the expected happens. What "expected" thing do I mean? Well, simply put, that the estimated time will be extended from the original estimate and everyone will rage like it's a big deal.

So, I'm just putting this thread here while everyone is preparing their torches and pitchforks...

[b]The duration mentioned is not set in stone. It is an ESTIMATED time given by the staff under the assumption that everything runs as according to plan.[/b]

We will likely see an extension of the time, because things rarely go according to plan. That's not a failure on anyone's part... that's life. The only real failure is getting worked up when there's a minor inconvenience due to things not going according to plan.

If you're waiting with baited breath for that exact moment to get the patch and be "first" into Maple... calm down. It's a game. You're not going to scare it away for good. It'll be there later. Watch a movie, take a nap... heck, go play something else while you wait. If you're so obsessed with Maple, go review the KMS info to be ready for everything. Either way, relax... wipe the drool cascading down your chin and learn a bit of patience and understanding (revolutionary ideas I know).

So, in the end... expect delays and just go with it. They're doing their jobs over there so we can goof around where we are.

Just as there are always threads with people screaming their tits off at the fact that the servers aren't up at the precise moment that was estimated.

Is it bad that I have school, so I HOPE for a longer down time so I can get on with everyone at the same time? Yeah, I'm horrible.

[quote=Copyrighted]I don't expect them to meet their target time, just like how my estimated download time is never consistent.

Nexon should just start putting TBD instead of an estimated time. People can't really complain against them.

Since all servers are still red, it's safe to say the maintenance will be extended. Once they turn green, it [b]usually[/b] takes 1 hour for the game to open.
It's already 5:13 AM PCT, so yeah.....

EDIT: Would you look at that, [URL=http://www.maplestorystatus.com/gms/]Monster Life servers are turning green[/URL]
