Hey Creators,

We will be performing server deployment maintenance Wednesday, January 22 at 12:00 AM PST to enhance the stability of the World Play environment and address certain issues.

During this time, the MapleStory Worlds platform and app will remain available. Players logging in after the deployment will be directed to newly created servers. Players who are already logged in before the deployment may experience temporary disconnections.

Additionally, to ensure a smooth experience for Worlds utilizing channel services after the deployment, improvements will be made to ensure newly created servers appear. Following this deployment, newly created servers will be displayed regardless of the login time.

*Note: This applies to Worlds using features such as GetWorldInstanceInfoPages from the WorldInstanceService [See API Reference].

Please note that newly created servers may require additional time to be created and loaded. Servers created before the deployment will not shut down automatically. If you wish to shut down the servers created prior to the deployment, you can republish the world and migrate the players.

MapleStory Worlds is continuously monitoring and investigating the causes of instability to enhance the overall experience. We have been addressing server instability issues reported since January 17 (Fri) and are implementing measures to stabilize the servers.

We remain committed to providing a stable environment for both players and creators. Please see the details below for more information.
