Mapserver

Definition

The mapserver is generally believed to be the same thing as the server, only called by its internal name in the warning messages regarding it. The most common message regarding the mapserver is "Lost connection to mapserver", when the game's client and NCsoft's servers stop communicating properly, generally due to excessive lag. It is possible to recover from a mapserve and continue playing, but sometimes the player is kicked offline. Players refer to this as being mapserved.
