Hey guys ive been having this problem for a few weeks now ever since the new patch has come out

I can log in to maplestory like usual but as soon as i double click one of my characters, the screen turn blacks and they game closes...the error message reads "connection to the server has ended"

None of my accounts are working, including my friend's accounts.

Ive already tried reinstalling.. does anyone else have this prob or have any suggestions?

I believe that's only due to hacking reasons. They (Wixon) will not let you hook onto the game, after clicking your character. Well if you truly don't use any tools that can potentially affect the game in any way.. there's another way to solve this. Firewall. I doubt it but.. there's this thing you do to edit the HOST file in your windows file. I highly discourage you to use it but.. If your desperate to MS; I'd say you go for it.

P.S I'll edit the file instructions in a bit. (It works 100% fine). Use at your own risk. -No virus found-

Edit: ok people here Copy this into notepad, save as HOSTFix.bat, and run it with administrative privileges, then run MapleStory. Gameguard should now update correctly.

Yes, this was leeched from some ancient JMS fansite. If there's something you do not understand feel free to ask. I've dont this on my laptop, and it works fine. Many errors are not my fault.

I take no fault for your own actions. Others please be aware as well.
