Windows 8/8.1/10 Unable to Connect to MapleLegends

Hello all,

I'm having trouble accessing/playing the game and I'm hoping you can help.

I get the following message whenever I try to run the game client:

"We are unable to connect to MapleLegends. Please check the MapleLegends hompage for ongoing server checks and updates"

I have been trying to get the game client to work on and off over the last month.
I have followed all of the troubleshooting tips I can find on the forums.
I install the latest versions on the game client and run as an administrator.
I have tried running the game on two windows laptops - windows 8.1 and 10.
I have disabled all anti-virus (Kaspersky) software on my computer.
I have made anti-virus exceptions for the game client, its folder and some of the other files.
I have disabled/made exceptions to my firewall for the game client.
I have booted windows in safe-mode with networking and tried to run the game.

If anyone can offer some advice, I will be extremely grateful.
I'd like to experience some of that 2005 post-beta and pre-big bang GMS nostalgia.

Thank you.
Adam.

 

Just like that, it works perfectly fine. I honestly thought I'd never be able to play the game.
I really can't thank you enough. Thank you so much!

 

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried using several different VPN locations but had no luck.
Thankfully, the problem is now resolved

 

I retract my previous messages. I was able to play the game for a couple of days, and now the same problem is occurring. Seems it wasn't mass-clicking that fixed it; something else was at play. I hope it works again, but if not, it was fun while it lasted. I was starting to get addicted again, too...

 

My issue is as per my original post. Whenever I try to run the game, I'm told the client can't connect to MapleLegends. No matter what I try, I get the same error message. The game randomly started working for me for the first time on Sunday and Monday; when I tried to boot it yesterday, I got the same messages as before. I've only been able to play the game twice since I first registered at the start of August.

 

I run Kaspersky. I have set exceptions and tried disabling protection, but it does nothing. I've given full details of what I've tried in my first post at the start of this thread. This isn't a new problem for me; it's been ongoing since August.
Also, a separate issue I've just noticed, I can't seem to log into my account on the MapleLegends website anymore. I get a message saying "Username and password can't be over 12 characters long".
