So after these mistakes how can JM still pride themsevles on this game when its been nothing but disaster after disaster? while there have been obvious problems, maybe they can pride themselves because people ARE still playing, and that in itself is a major accomplishment. obviously you don't reali...

now, wasn't that easier than making up a bullshit story about an autistic son, and trying to play on people's pity? if you thought we'd "bite your head off from the begininng", then get ready for the even-larger-flames that should result from pretending to be the parent of an autistic chil...

I've been playing this game for quite some time now, and I find it hard to believe that ANY scammer would even try something that obvious. gold is simply an amount stored, and anybody trying to scam a billion gold would not try this technique, because they would expect anyone with a billion gold to ...

Frankly, I also find a parent's involvement on this level (the "politics of Troy"???) to be slightly disturbing. personally, i don't think it's disturbing at all, and more parents should at least TRY to help out their kids. if your kid got ripped off by some punk on the street, wouldn't y...

right, but a farmer who is at lvl 16 -will- have lower stats than someone who got to 18 or 19, then deleveled back to 16 to farm. i guess you could do that to make yourself slightly stronger to farm, but i don't know if it's really worth the trouble. you could just go find some +str/int equip instea...

i'm pretty sure he gives you a weapon of your -type-, not your level, meaning you'll get a lvl 10 weapon every time.

no.... why would you get banned for cursing? there's a guy named _F_U_C_K_E_R_ on Troy, and he isn't in any trouble at all, so don't worry about it.

this whole thread is getting stupid, is it not? if you're fighting someone who's immune to ice, then yes, it's useless. if you're not, then it's very useful. is there REALLY anything else more that needs to be said about it? i left the board for like three months, and before i left, there were threa...

either way, it still proves her point. the lower your magic balance, the less difference you'll see between imbue damages. so, if she's low level, then as she gets higher the damage difference will be even less, and you'll see an even smaller difference. if she's higher level, then it's still a much...

well, for the first option, it wouldn't do any good. in games like this, all damage calculations, stats, etc, are done on the server side, not by the client. this is to prevent patches and mods to the client that could give infinite damage, god mode, etc. so you'd need to have the server software in...

it seems for me that anything 20 levels or lower doesn't drop normal items. enemies higher than that do. i don't know if the cursed hearts would be different though.

yes, you do end up going through quite a bit of MP pots(at least i did), but it evens out because pure STR bladers have a tendency to go through less HP pots, dues to higher defense, and a shield to block hits. i know with my cold blader at least, i could grind on mobs my level using 200 MP pots and...

eh, sry bout that, it doesn't stretch mine, so didn't really think about it.

castle shield series in the bicheon tree. "for the low low price of not being able to move or do anything, you too can increase your block ratio or absorb -part- of all physical attacks! of course, you WILL still take damage, and you won't block every time, but it also gives the added benefit o...

Also, I'm not sure if this is current or a future update (pretty sure it's current): when a Trader lvl's up, they have better defense against thieves. The same is also true for Hunters (better attack rating against thieves) and Thieves (better defense against Hunters, and hitting Traders better) th...

what kind of weapon do you use? if blade, try getting lvl 1 of the ranged skill(soul cut?). at least this way, you can draw them towards you. you could draw a couple, kill them, draw, kill, etc. that may make it a little quicker. but yea, doing the quest is probably the easiest way to level up quick...

And now a question: Why would Joymax implement something useless for people to just waste their gold on? GG good question. but i NEVER said that it was useless. i just said that there's no proof that THAT'S what it does. and there isn't. not only that, but there's not even evidence at all. i also s...

it's pretty simple. as your character level goes up, you can hold more in a camel for the same amount of start. for example, on a lvl 20 trader, you can hold somewhere between 15-16k worth of goods(with a camel) before it goes up to a two-star trade. whereras, on a mid-30's character, you can hold a...

well, it doens't sound like a bad build. i've seen all-element nuker builds before, and they're pretty similar, except that most will have 2 out of the three elements maxed while the other is a bit back, and mostly used for buffs. i'm pretty sure maxing all three nukes is a bit overkill, personally....

i still would liike to see something that at least supports the theory. all i've heard so far is that a bunch of people say that's what it does. well, guess what? a bunch of people say that trader level ups the goods you can carry for one star, which it doesn't(straight from joymax). alot of people ...

Hi, it's always nice to see couples playing. my wife Solyn and i both play, so maybe i can offer some insights to that as well. first off, if the two of you are going to be playing in a party together most of the time, you may want to pick builds that complement each other. for instance, it might be...

u can put more goods on to ur horse/camel without going over the star limit example 1st lvl trader = 15k worth of goods then 2nd lvl trader = 16-19k worth of goods and etc no, you can't. right now the job levels do absolutely nothing. the only things that make a difference in star value is: type of...

well, as for higher end levels, here's what you're looking at for base stats if you go pure str from now on: lvl 20(now): 72/63 Str/Int lvl 30 : 112/73 lvl 40 : 152/83 lvl 50 : 192/93 lvl 60 : 232/103 lvl 70 : 272/113 so, at mid-40's, you end up tipping a 2:1 ratio in favor of strength. that's proba...

well, it IS a help for str users, and if it proves out, it will help people choose their imbue better. personally, i've always suspected that the damage difference for str users was almost insignificant. however, i'm WAY too lazy to actually test it out, so i'm glad somebody has. the reason i always...

if you want the cold buffs, but can't live without some kind of grasswalk(i know i can't), you should at least lvl light to 12 just to get the first book. that one alone gives you a 20% increase in speed. the following levels aren't nearly as good. you can only level the skill once every three level...

gameguard also detects certain types of adware/spyware as 'hacks', so try running some cleaning progs to see what you come up with.

i've also read somewhere that higher reinforce causes durability to go down slower. this -almost- makes some kind of weird sense to me, but like he said, nobody seems to know for sure.

i'd go with fire on this one. with cold imbue, you HAVE to freeze them, or why even bother? and then, the whole point of using a glaive is so that you take less hits to kill than a blade. that, combined with the lower weapon speed, means your imbue's effect won't catch as often, so you should go wit...

Geobot: I'm not saying ice is bad, in fact it's awesome for taking v ery little damage PVM and great in group PVP unless all your opponents are ice immune. I'm just saying, fire is good for a blader to milk as much damage as possible. I have ice imbue book 2 level 1 and I use it in situations in wh...

just in case you didn't know though.... trader/thief/hunter level does absolutely nothign so far, according to joymax themselves. so it's no big deal what level you are or how much experience you gain/lose. so far, it's only for people who want other people to click on them and say "oooh a lvl ...
