    If possible, I think more players would log on for the event if the event buff didnt dissapear when DCs occur. Maybe a server-side toggle could be added to enable this during server instability for certain events

    Not a MapleStory technical expert, but something tells me this is impossible to implement.

    What do you mean by not realistic? In Maple context perhaps? Because there are games that work that way, I can logoff and when I logon my buffs are still up.

    I believe that unfortunately this can be abused in a bad way

    How about buffs that continue their timer instead of being removed when DCed? Preventing abuse while not punishing people who got DCed.

    It would 100% certainly benefit the game if the timer kept going (DURING SERVER INSTABILITY ONLY), but I understand if it isn't realistic given the system you're working with

    I know this is possible because I play FFXIV. This is the best example I can give
    FC Buffs
    First of all, a Free Company is FFXIV's version of a guild. You can initiate two buffs that last a a full day from activation. It doesn't matter if you are logged in or not. The buff stands and the timer runs down for all members to reap the benefits from.

    Food Buffs
    These are individual player buffs for each character in the game. The amount of time these buffs last are determined by whether or not you have the
    Meat and Mead I, II, or III FC buff active. You can even initiate a food buff twice to extend the duration of the buff. Logging out does NOT remove the buff. The timer will just count down until it goes away.

    I am not sure how this is possible in FFIXV, I would guess that the server merely stores the time that the buff was applied in your character data and then simply compares that time against the server clock to determine remaining duration. This will not pause it by any means whatsoever.
