Nexon has scheduled maintenance for MapleStory Classic World on Thursday, October 29, 2026, starting at 5:00 AM PDT. The notice was published on October 27, 2026. Nexon says it expects the work to last approximately 4 hours and to finish around 9:00 AM PDT.
Times by region
Nexon lists the window in four time zones. All times below are for Thursday, October 29, 2026, unless noted.
PDT (UTC -7): 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM
EDT (UTC -4): 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
CET (UTC +1): 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
AEDT (UTC +11): 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM on October 30
The end time is an estimate. Nexon says it "anticipates" the four hours. The notice does not promise a firm finish, and it does not say what happens if the work runs long.
What will be unavailable
Nexon states that all MapleStory Classic World game servers will be unavailable during the window. The notice does not list any server as exempt. A player who is online when the window opens should expect to be disconnected.
The notice does not mention a countdown, a warning in game, or a server shutdown sequence. It also does not say whether other parts of the Global MapleStory (GMS) client are affected. It names only the Classic World game servers.
The update: v.1.1.0
Nexon says Classic World will be updated to v.1.1.0 during the maintenance. This is the version number the notice gives. It is the first version number Nexon has attached to a scheduled update since Grand Launch on October 21, 2026.
The notice does not describe the contents of v.1.1.0. Nexon says the full list of changes and updates will be available once maintenance is completed. Until then, anything about new content, balance changes or fixes is unconfirmed. We will not guess at the list.
What this changes for a player this week
The practical effect is limited to one morning in the Americas and one evening or night in Europe and Australia. Here is what a player can check and plan for.
Time conversion: Use the listed UTC offsets for your region. Players in time zones not listed can convert from the PDT window.
Time-limited activities: Nexon does not say whether any event or timer is affected. Anything that depends on being logged in during the window will not be possible.
Trading and meso plans: Servers are down for the whole window, so no Free Market activity can happen during it.
After the window: Check Nexon's patch notes before assuming anything has changed. The notice says the full list will follow completion of the maintenance.
Confirmed and not yet announced
Confirmed by Nexon: the start time, the estimated four-hour length, the estimated end time, the full Classic World server outage, and the target version of v.1.1.0.
Not announced in this notice: the contents of v.1.1.0, any compensation for the downtime, and any extension plans. If Nexon publishes the patch notes after the work is done, we will write them up separately.
This notice is the source for every detail above. It comes from Nexon's maintenance news page, and Nexon is the authority on dates, times and platform support.
