What I've done?

I bet you all are wondering what i've been up to... no updates on chaos... no nothing.

Yup... indeed... it's been like... 2-3 weeks or smthing? since i last went on XP. Nope, still haven patched maple... Reason? One word: School.

Been busy with numerous projects, presentations, worrying abt finding my own fyp etc... haven had the time or even mood to maple... and exams are drawing really near...

sorry, don't have anything interesting to talk abt right now...

its possible that i may only go back to mapling after my exams...

talked to saigo the other day abt HS... well it's high time i gave them some explanation abt my complete disappearance... heard that they were planning on a db revamp, to make things like keying in the info easier/more automated... its really great to hear that even after so long, they are still putting in so much effort and time into the site, you two are really superb! they've been focused on the GMS site for quite some time already, working to put in the ascension data etc... since so far msea has merely been taking the patches directly off GMS, i told saigo to focus work on the GMS site, and get Jon to make a system for easy porting of data between the two DB instead... no point having to duplicate all the data entry work on another database... all you need is for someone to check and ensure that the data is correct for msea, and make any changes if necessary....

sighz... so many dark clouds hanging over my head now. till next (next next next...) time...

Mass banning in forums - trying to cover their backside?

Seems like there's mass banning in forums... mass locking of threads too... trying to surpress the truth about the situation eh? *clap* Ppl getting banned for posting abt crashes and roll backs??? WOW. GO FIX THE SEVER PROBLEMS INSTEAD DUDES.

Heard that maple accts are getting slammed with 3 year bans for no reason... i sure hope my accts didnt get banned... still have not logged in maple so...

On a side note: i cant stand ppl who pay tons of cash to buy maple items and mesos, than go ard showing off their damage. Its precisely cos of these ppl that hackers flourish. They have the 'if i dont buy, someone else will still buy' kind of WRONG mentality... really cant stand those ppl... not just the fact that they are using the wrong method to get their results... i also don't see anything to flaunt abt... its not like you did any hardwork for it... u merely paid up. trying to flaunt off your riches? go elsewhere pls.

Chaos and D/I/E

Okok. I've been lazy and haven posted much here recently.... So i shall update a bit...

This is very old news. D/E and I worlds have merged. I find it really... ridiculous and unbelievable that so many worlds are merging... really shows how much maplesea has declined. Well, its to be expected for all the hackerS, crasheS, and rb incidentS afterall.



Chaos is coming... in a few days? gosh, have not logged in to maple in most than a week, and have not been keeping track of when chaos is coming.... Nothing much in terms of skill changes in chaos... Here's a list of the skill changes i complied earlier on (and forgot to post here) for the Hero's Lounge. Hero's Lounge so yeah, just Hero and SM skill changes. NOTE: i compared the skill info from that given in the extraction tables in southperry. If there are any discrepancies between the GMS skills and MSEA skills, i didn’t know abt it and i'm sorry!

Apart from the minor skill changes to adventurers, the professions system will be coming, together with pvp. I'm still undecided on whether to get blacksmithing or jewel crafting for my hero... and i haven read up on it over the pst week so i'm still... undecided. oh wells... we'll see when the time comes.

PVP might actually be fun, since things like ur damage and ur hp aren't really considered in pvp - so ppl with absolutely noob damage like me wont lose out. I might go in and whack a bit with my guildmates and bls for fun.

Previously sent a few iBox asking abt why my green robo cannot learn the auto buff skill when other ppl are able to get the skill on their pet. 1st i got a reply saying that they will check it out... than i get a reply saying that the auto buff skill is only available on bling monkeys! RUBBISH! how come several forumites and my bl have gotten the auto buff skill on their green robo already!!!! PFFFFTTTT! i'll continue sending in iBox queries...

nothing much happening
