Whats wrong?

I've been waiting for 5 hours now, i try to log on dchaos but it doesnt even come to the log in screen, it disconnects right away and a pop up says, "we are unable to connect to the login server due to server check, a firewall block, or other network issues. Please check the maplestory homepage for ongoing server checks as well as your firewall settings."
Is anybody else having this problem?
If there is a server check how long will it be?
I read the news, announcements, all that and i cant find what is going on right now.
Im not trying to be unpatient im just wondering why d.chaos ms ex aint working for me right now.
Thanks,
Arrow
