OK, add another ten minutes to that - the patch will now end at 00:20 instead of 00:10. Sorry, we've hit a few issues which we'd obviously rather sort out before bringing the server back up!
Playing with old files wouldn't be wise because you can experience some bugs/glitches during your gameplay and you risk getting banned if you forget to update them in a timely manner.
I don't see why we should do this at all. Our downtime is still far shorter than most other games, even after having extended it by 20 minutes.
I don't recall Nexon ever giving bonus exp for minor delays like 20 mins, lol! We've never given bonus experience for tiny amounts of downtime for sure.
Uploading individual WZ files at the moment. However it would be best to use the full install as it is a smaller size than the required files.
Take comfort in the fact that you're not the only one with really slow download speed - mine's about half yours <3
