Changes and Updates:
Resolved an issue causing, in rare circumstances, a server crash.
Concerning the Release of Update v.255
Hello, Maplers.
First, we'd like to apologize for the unexpected issues and gameplay disruptions that occurred when the v.255 update went live. We understand the severity of this situation, and will learn from it to improve our processes. We remain committed to supporting a stable and high quality play experience.
Below, we will outline the primary issues that occurred with the v.255 update and summarize the current state of affairs.
1. Extended Maintenance
There were several issues pertaining to new content and system updates. The main issues were as follows:
Extended maintenance on the day of the v.255 update: Parts of the game that worked as intended during internal testing suddenly became unplayable when running on live servers. The maintenance was extended beyond what was initially estimated to investigate, fix, and retest these issues.
Crashes and additional maintenance: There were several crashes after the v.255 update went live:
Server crashes when generating certain rewards upon defeating an enemy. Due to the frequency of the crashes, a maintenance was required to implement a quick fix.
Server crashes when the Guardian Angel Slime would finish a boss pattern and then vanish.
Client crashes when Shade used Soul Splitter while fighting Ursus.
Aside from crashes, there was also an issue where a long quest was being finished quickly due to Black Mage Remnants erroneously remaining on a drop table. Separately, many rare boss rewards that should not have been affected by the drop rate increase were affected. Given the effect these issues would have on game balance and fairness to our players, it was clear we needed to take urgent action.
Aside from the issues noted above, there was also an additional maintenance done to address the unintended functionality of the Frenzy Totem, rewards not being generated when Zero characters defeated a boss, and other issues with the new Ride or Die content.
2. Content Issues
Removal of certain Page of Memories mini-games:
During internal testing, we discovered that the Spirit's Memories and Spirit's Emotions mini-games were causing extreme lag in most Global MapleStory service regions. The lag was severe enough that normal gameplay was being adversely affected. In these mini-games, a new sync method called "Lockstep" was used. However, this method was not well-suited to some environments with the network ping conditions of regions where Global MapleStory is serviced. Considering the limited time the live service team had to address the issue, the decision was eventually made to remove the affected mini-games for the sake of stability. To compensate, the EXP Vouchers that would have been granted by these mini-games were instead added to the Ride or Die Inspector Boxes. However, we overlooked the fact that the Ride or Die reward is given a week after the patch, and that players weren't made aware of that fact. We apologize for the confusion this has caused, and will strive to be more clear in the future.
Please be aware that EXP Vouchers will also be obtainable from the Burning Express event and Dark Maplemas mini-game in the v.256 update.
Changes to the Intense Power Crystal:
A change was made to the number of Intense Power Crystals that can be sold each week. However, the proper price adjustments were not made, causing a dip in some players' meso earnings.
We are actively considering additional changes that will be applied during maintenance on Dec. 5, 2024. We apologize for the delay in confirming these changes.
Other Issues:
We are aware that there are other issues not listed here. We will do our best to fix as many as we can in the upcoming maintenance on Dec. 5, 2024.
To apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, we've prepared the following compensation package for you.

Unscheduled Minor Patch - November 22, 2024
We will be performing an unscheduled minor patch today, November 22, 2024 at 11:00 AM PST (2:00 PM EST / 8:00 PM CET / 6:00 AM AEDT November 23). We anticipate the maintenance to last approximately 3 hours, concluding around 2:00 PM PST (5:00 PM EST / 11:00 PM CET / 9:00 AM AEDT November 23).

AEDT (UTC +11): 6:00 AM (November 22) - 9:00 AM November 22)
What will be unavailable:
All MapleStory game servers.
Changes and updates:
MapleStory will be updated to v.255.2.0.
The following content regarding the Frenzy Totem has been changed:
Resolved an issue where the Frenzy Totem and Chains of Resentment mob respawn speed was not applied as intended.
Resolved an issue where Frenzy Totem was not able to be cast again in a a map where a Frenzy Totem was used.
[Dev Comment] The new Chains of Resentment totem was designed based on the previous Frenzy Totem, but we have confirmed that stats related to mob regen speed wasn't applied as intended. This has caused the overall mob regen speed to drop compared to before, and we apologize for the inconvenience we have caused the players. As notified before, the dev team's intent was to keep the previous Frenzy Totem's mob regen speed and mob regen quantities, and this will apply in the same way to the new Chains of Resentment totems. The Chains of Resentment differs from the Frenzy Totems in whether the effect remains on the map when the caster moves maps, and the effects of the Chains of Resentment disappears when the caster moves maps. In order to prevent disrupting another player on a map where the Chains of Resentment have already been used due to this differentiation, the Chains of Resentment can't be used again on a map where the effect has already been applied. The Frenzy Totem being able to be used on the same map again was an intended mechanic, and any unintended changes after the v255 patch will be fixed with this maintenance, and please understand that the previous specs weren't intended.
The Ride or Die Horntail HP has been adjusted.
[Dev Comment] The intent behind Ride or Die is to allow characters to defeat bosses based on their strength and earn rewards, thus motivating players to become stronger. This event has 6 types of bosses, and for the Horntail, we have confirmed that its HP is much lower than we first intended. This has allowed players to defeat the Horntail much more easily in Code S difficulty, resulting in an experience different from what we intended. Thus the dev team has decided to increase the Horntail's HP to provide a difficulty level more appropriate to the intended strength of the character. We apologize for the inconvenience for the Ride or Die event.
Resolved an issue where the Genesis Crux would drop multiple Black Mage Remnants.
Resolved an issue where Absolute Zero Aura: Vortex would crash other players on the map when the skill ends.
Resolved an issue where the achievenment '[From Memory] The One Who's Touched the Sky of the Grand Athenaeum' was not obtainable.
Resolved an issue where Exceptional Hammers were not displayed as rewards for Extreme Kaling and Kalos.
Resolved an issue where both old enhancement and exceptional hammer still drop from the extreme bosses (Kaling, Black Mage, Seren, Kalos).
Resolved an issue where summoned familiars did not contribute towards total combat power.
Resolved an issue where weekly participation for Ride or Die rewards did not have the correct duration listed.
Resolved an issue where players would fall through platforms when fighting Guardian Angel Slime.
Resolved an issue where certain characters were unable to join Item Burning.
