** Update! ** We have completed the maintenance and all game services are now open at 5:30 AM Pacific Time (8:30 AM Eastern Time.) Thank you for your patience. Dear Maplers, Today at 2:30 PM Pacific we reopened the game after a long maintenance to remedy a meso exploit threatening the Maple economy. Unfortunately, soon after the game reopened another exploit was discovered that introduced unhealthy amount of mesos into the economy through Free Market, forcing us to bring down the game servers again at 5:45 PM, Pacific Time. As you already may know, introduction of such mesos have damaging effects on the game economy such as raising the cost of your in-game items, which is why we have made the difficult decision to restore the MapleStory servers to an earlier state: Monday, November 8, 3 AM Pacific (6 AM Eastern). This is 12 hours prior to the first restore point. Please understand that this measure is our best solution against the exploited mesos to minimize its crippling effects. We know you will not be pleased about this decision and we understand those of you who logged in during the time will be greatly disappointed to lose your efforts. We will do our best to ease the change by performing the following: * 5,000 Maple Points to players who logged in between 3 AM � 3 PM Pacific (6 AM � 6 PM Eastern) on Monday, November 8. * 5,000 Maple Points to those who logged in between 2:30 PM - 5:45 PM Pacific (5:30 PM � 8:45 PM Eastern) on Wednesday, November 10. * NX spent during mentioned times above will be refunded in the type originally spent. * All Cash items will be extended by 72 hours. * Compensation events will be posted within the next 24 hours. The game will reopen at approximately 7 AM Pacific (10 AM Eastern) on Thursday, November 11. Please accept our sincerest apology and know that we will work through the night to ensure safe and timely reopening of MapleStory. -The Maple Team- Note: Please know efforts of today�s compensation will be affected by the new restore point and this notice is the official compensation policy. Thank you!

hell, they might as well just roll us back the 3 weeks now. Everybody has lost SOMETHING by now. It seems like they're gonna keep rolling back anyways.

Just a question. Since they moved the restore point to 3am...well...I actually bought and used a 2x exp card around 12:30am that night and so it didn't expire until 4:30. Does that mean I'll be reimbursed the 2x exp card when the game comes back on? And will it last for another 72hours? Just a thought because that would suck if i lost an hour of grinding. But its no big deal to me anyway.

I think I actually got more than 105k. 105k is the minimum, but I might have gotten like 120-125k if I understand correctly. Well anyway, no matter what, I got 105k+ free maple points.
