[Updated] All Worlds Temporarily Unavailable - August 6, 2022

[Updated August 6 at 5:00 PM PDT] We have applied fixes to the servers and completed maintenance. We have extended Cash Shop items for 7 hours. Thank you for your patience.

[Updated August 6 at 3:31 PM PDT] We are in the process of internally testing some server file fixes and are planning to open within 2 hours.

Hi Maplers,

We are currently investigating the Scania and Reboot server crashes players may have experienced in order to address it as soon as we can. However, until the server crash issues have been resolved, we've decided to bring all world servers down in the meantime while we investigate the root cause. We apologize for the downtime and will provide an update on top of this post when we can.
