Trees have to shed to bloom again. So does Maple Story. To make way for patch version 0.52, the cute 2D side-scrolling MMORPG from NEXON will be unavailable for ten hours on Tuesday, March 18.

Maple Story's busy and bustling world will have to take a holiday as all game servers will be affected. The maintenance will commence from 10 PM to 8 AM PST on Tuesday, March 18 (or from 5 AM to 3 PM GMT, Tuesday, March 19, for others).

If you can't stay away from Maple Story for that long though, the game's official website will still be available to satisfy your Maplemania needs during the downtime. Or you can always come back here at QJ.Net for the latest details.
