    1. PG&E does not service Nexon's area. PG&E services only Northern California. El Segundo is serviced by SoCal Edison
    2. While SoCal Edison have had planned outages, there have been no planned outages lately as the major fires and Santa Ana Winds events have passed in the area.
    3. Based on where the fires have been, I find it difficult to believe that Los Angeles' county's internet infrastructure is damaged due to the recent fires and I find it difficult to believe the major fires in Northern California will affect Southern California.

    Mabinogi is hosted on Amazon ec2 in a data center in Oregon since the "cloud" maintenance, nowhere in California, so California being on fire again wouldn't be the issue especially if you pull up a map of the United States' internet backbone. More than likely it's just routing propagation issues again, I'll save the technobabble but in short; one idiot in the fourteenth world presses a button they shouldn't and the whole internet ties its self up into a pretzel.

    If the server issues had something to do with the fires, everyone on each server would have disconnected and the login server wouldn't have stayed open.

    There are still such things as Internet «nodes» and «relay points» for Internet-traffic to pass through for certain aspects of on-line connectivity. Additionally, the head-quarters of Nexon NA, and, thus, the servers, are also located upon the California land-mass. The game-servers are most-certainly hosted by the Nexon NA company, but, when it comes to the web-site, that is out-sourced to a separate hosting company (known as CorporateDomains in this case, who seem to run their services Internationally, and probably have a bunch of redundant back-up servers in case anything happens in one location), thus able to explain why we can access these forums, even if the digital-world of Mabinogi itself is unavailable (but the low traffic that a game-server gets wouldn't justify hosting multiple redundant back-up servers around the world due to the amount of overhead-costs in comparison to a web-site hosting company where many of their clients/customers are literally multi-million $$$ corporate-businesses).

    Sorry, I'll try to describe it another way, avoiding jargon if I can. Assuming that the so-called sciences/technologies are the same or still similar enough to whatever my material-version origin-Universe was, Internet-connectivity works similarly to how the mail/postal-systems work, where, instead of distributing things like letters and envelopes around the world/country, information (being the digital-equivalent to letters and envelops, often referred to as bits, bytes, packets, etc., per techno-jargon) in the form of digital-code is electronically distributed from one electronic-machine to another, either via wires or even wirelessly.

    Essentially, the Internet also seems to have the equivalent what are called «middle-men» out in the material-world, who pass the message from one point, to another, to another, to another, to another, so, yes, the way Internet pass-information-around protocol works can literally lead to something looking like this...

    If you're «curious» as to where all of the «ping-ponging» of the information between your computer and whatever web-site you're trying to access is pathing, just get the IP-address of your source-information, then use the tracert [insert-its-IP-address-here] command in your Command-Prompt (may be called PowerShell on some Windows systems), and it should return a list of different middle-man-style relay points. It should look something like the following...

    Did they ever say what the underlying cause was for the unexpected maintenance?

    Ferghus could be the likely cause...I mean he was suppose to be in charge of the server till I guess he tried using his trusty blacksmith hammer.

    Bf said Ch3 on Nao died earlier. Not sure if it's still dead though.
    Him and his party members all got disconnected.

    Why are we still having these problems?

    Apparently although channel 5 and 6 of ALX show you cant go to them.

    The channel 2 SM server is also down, so you have to go to ch 1 to do the wardrobe missions.

    I think now maybe the game servers might've picked up a cold.

    Ch1 threw me out during a shadow mission, I tried a couple more times to get back in and just gave up
    I login again today and suddenly I'm back in Dunby with items I got rid of prior, instead of in Tara next to that darn stone like I'm used to.

    On the one hand, I'm kinda glad to know its not my internet. On the other, that's even more worrying XD

    If it did have to do with fires, they would be crashing every summer and autumn.
