A way to figure out reinforce?

I came across two possible ways to finally solve the mystery of the "Reinforce."

First, and most likely illegal, has anyone thought of decompiling the silkroad exe and seeing if there's anything in there which points to how to calculate the reinforce?

Second, and most likely much more legal, has anyone ever thought of asking a GM?

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 instead, and the only way to get that would be to hack deep into joymax or through an inside agent.

for the second..... ummm...... well, i know i haven't, lol. it can't hurt, but they seem to be reluctant to actually release information like this, along with other formulas, etc. i think most companies that do this think that it's more enjoyable for the users to figure it out for themselves through experimentation. i know that that's half the fun of games to me, and once something is reduced to perfect stats, it seems to take a bit of the appeal out of it.
