Trivial Updates
Hidden Street will be down temporarily on 4 June 2009 (or 3 June 2009 depending on your timezone, and we've yet to ascertain the exact time) while we do the necessary backup and transfer - as we have mentioned previously, the new server will be better, meaner, and would be able to handle an insane amount of processes we expect would be generated from our future new dynamic MapleStory database.
We don't know exactly how long the propagation will take, but we expect it will take anywhere between 5 to 24 hours. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Just as a quick update: we're currently working at full speed with our new Database Moderator team to transfer the contents of the old database to the new system, and as such, we won't be able to update the old database during this period. We'd only update the database once all data have been successfully transferred, but rest assured, we still read and welcome your e-mails.

This is a teaser of the new Hidden Street database for MapleStory. Kindly take note that all of the links in the site are yet to be linked properly. There are a few example links for you to preview with:
- Beginner class skills
- One-Handed Sword category
- Monster Level 1-10 category
- Quest Level 1-10 category
- Ellinia (North) map area
- Lith Harbor town
Since we are implementing a wiki-based feature to our database as mentioned several posts ago, we are happy to announce that we will be recruiting Maplers to join HS.MapleStory's database team! Having received plenty of e-mails in the past from users who wanted to contribute to the database directly, this would be a great opportunity for those who would like to help us keep the database updated, when previously, all updates done to the database were a 2-men show, hence the rather slow updates. However, in order to maintain and ensure the quality of the database, we would only require a small number of database members, the number of which we have yet to ascertain.

We've been wondering what the best way would be to notify or inform our visitors when we perform what we'd like to term as "trivial updates", and so it hit upon us: Twitter IS the natural choice! We normally only post up news when a major update hits us, so many visitors may not know what other behind-the-scenes updates we may be doing at regular intervals.
"Trivial updates" are termed as such for updates involving: addition of new items/monsters/quests/etc that we have missed out, correction of certain information, etc. However, we may also exclude updating certain trivial updates on Twitter such as the updating of stat ranges, or whatever we feel that need not be announced via Twitter. But do note, however, that whatever we Twit may take up to a few hours to be reflected on the database itself.
So if you are a Twitter user, feel free to 'follow' us there.
