Hey Creators,

We will be performing maintenance Friday, December 27, 2024 at 12:30 AM PST to enhance the stability of the World Play environment.

After the deployment, all players connecting to the World will be directed to newly created servers. Players already connected to existing servers will experience minimal impact aside from temporary interruptions.

For Worlds utilizing channel services (ex: via the WorldInstanceService [Check API Reference] API such as GetWorldInstanceInfoPages), only newly created servers will be available following the deployment. As a result, additional time may be needed for players to create or load new channels.

Please note that servers created prior to the deployment will not automatically shut down. If desired, you can republish your World post-deployment and facilitate player reconnection through migration processes.

1. Maintenance Times:
Friday, December 27, 2024
- PST (UTC -8): 12:30 AM
- KST (UTC +9): 5:30 PM

2. Changes and Updates:

3. What will be unavailable:

     - Temporary disconnections may occur in Worlds following the maintenance
      *If you are logged into a World, you may receive reconnection pop-ups.
      *If reconnection fails, you will be redirected to the main screen of the MapleStory Worlds app.

- Notice for Creators

- For Worlds offering channel services, additional time may be needed to create or load new channels after the maintenance.

*Applies to Worlds utilizing the WorldInstanceService API [Check API Reference], including GetWorldInstanceInfoPages.

- To ensure stable service, it is recommended to republish your World after the deployment and perform migration processes.

*In this case, players may experience disconnections or need reconnecting during migration.

Sincerely,
The MapleStory Worlds Team
