Some MS Rumors

1-Game Masters
Game Masters aka Nostradamus...I mean GMs
Myth One: Lawl, everyone knows they don't exist
Myth Two: Reporting hackers won't make them come out of the cave they share with Osama

Verdict/Conclusion: Reporting has caused people to get banned. Thus proves that reporting hackers do get them banned and oh em gee, GMs DO exist!


2-Drops
Rumor One: Drops are predetermined when a monster spawns. Whoever kills that monster, gets the drops.

Rumor Two: It's all about timing. When you kill a monster two milliseconds after it spawns, it drops differently than if you kill it after two seconds.

Rumor Three: Completely Random.

Rumor Four [gasp! FOUR?]: Drops are predetermined using a random number table.
This is somewhat shown on the TI Graphing Calculators. If everyone goes to rand->123 and makes it pick a random number, then everyone will get the same number. Maple Story drops might use a system such as this:

17230109578961209384
18761532095812897650
12398751092879991248
97623455098721098712
91987454113215992134

There could be something that makes it so that each drop gets 10 digits. If the number 999 is seen as it is in the 10 digits, then the monster will drop a rare item. If anything from 089-143, then the monster drops a number of mesos, the amount being the number seen in the 10 digits. This is really complicated, but if you've done it on the TI Graphing calc, it's much easier to visualize. And of course if Wizet does this, then they will obviously need more than 10 digits.

Verdict: I can't really say...There is no way to know how drops are determined for each monster, unless if you go straight to Wizet and threaten them with BB guns until they tell you o.o

Conclusion: There is no way to tell how drops are determined. However, most believe it to be Rumor One (which I also believe) =)


Duplicate Your Items!

Myth One: Tab Tab Space Enter

Myth Two: Press Trade but DONT click 'accept'. Instead type: 'copy' and Voila! You have a duplicated item.

Conclusion: Amazingly, these actually DO copy items. It's like this: It copies the item onto the other person's inventory, then it deletes the copied item from YOUR inventory....

(LOLS!!)

Oh BTW why Myth Two for Duplicating Items is that the "y" in copy makes you "click" yes -- y = yes
