[quote=DkDummy]for the kaiser swords, people thought those were placeholders... "a 400atk sword? no way nexon would release that, its prob. a placeholder" LOL so idk. maybeeee[/quote]

Who said it was a placeholder..?

@DkDummy: But the 400atk sword was unpottable, unscrollable, etc... and it was extrememly hard to obtain. 100m for 1maple point is plain ridiculous and no one in their right mind would even think about using that conversion rate. And what else is not mentioned is that the npc isn't even in the game it's only in the .wz files (someone clean up this link if you don't mind please and thank you) http://orangemushroom.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/kmst-ver-1-2-461-xenon-skill-changes/#more-5287 scroll down to near the bottom.

Hah! nice nexon trolling.

It says in MILLIONS not BILLIONS. -facepalm-

100m = 1 Maplepoint? o.o

well... still better than trust NX sellers touh

i love this idea (sarcasm) <3 <3 <3 <3

It's a gold sinker

can i turn my maplepoints into mesos <3 ?

[quote=UAPaladin]Just curious because I don't know much about this stuff, would it be possible for nexon to do the same thing for mesos to bypass the 2.1b max mesos limit?[/quote]

It should be entirely possible. But I don't have a quote, but I'm pretty sure I remember Hime posting a few months ago saying that there were no plans to increase the Meso cap, because it would disrupt the balance of the economy or something like that

Of course.

[quote=GreenyScott]Since the HP data isn't stored on your end, that means it's on the server's side, and what Nexon can do with that is basically have different pools of HP to bypass the 2.1b limit. When 2.1b is drained, then it'll move on to the next pool without having to change the actual Mob (CPB) or having to spam heal (Empress)[/quote]

[quote=Phaus]@xDracius OR THE NATURAL FREAKING RATIO 1:50.[/quote]

lol because selling NX was natural to begin with

This exchange rate is hilarious... 1B Mesos for 10 MaplePoints? What a rip..

[quote=OneRockGod]wtf does that even mean? we all arent computer nerds here[/quote]

It means he has no idea what he's talking about.

Dayum..

What if there was a reverse... 1k = 100b!
LOL!

[quote=GeEmEs]Terrific deductive logic you have there.

I thought I had read a thread in another forum that talked about how they were making the transition to upgrading their servers from 32-bit to 64-bit. Perhaps my eyes have deceived me.[/quote]

I don't understand why people are still running 32 bit operating systems today in the first place.

@ClassOf12: Hahaha, If you sell all that Maplepoints for 100b per 1k..I want you to remember who's your buddy from Basil! XD Just kidding~! x)

This is just a scam by nexon.

Good idea. Obviously prices are placeholders though.

[quote=ironpenguin]When you think about it, its not a half bad idea to take some meso out of the economy. admittedly the prices are a bit off, but its a solid idea the way i look at it.

And its exactly 100% reliable as compared to illegally buying the NX from someone else for meso, which can result in you getting scammed, or possibly worse.[/quote]

First part you said is correct.

They're trying to create gold sinks. Usually MMO's have a lot of them. It's sort of a way to 'help' the economy of the game, so that it doesn't get too out of hand. At least that's what I understand. The more money people need for in-game uses, the less money people will have, and use on market items. GENERALLY it helps out, but not always.

Maplestory doesn't really have many gold sinks other than the actual market in the first place. Upgrading equipment, is a popular sink that Maplestory doesn't have that other MMO's almost always have. The only true sink we seem to have... is potions, and other small things that don't really dent money supplies. It'd be a somewhat good idea, since our market has gone a bit haywire.

This would be a great meso sink. I would think a fair price would be 100 mil to 1k points. Maybe even 200 mil.

I believe that they'll fix this before they release it to real servers.

There's no way they'd keep something as ridiculous as 100 billion mesos for 1k maple points. They know just as well as we do, that 100 bil is not equivalent to the price of one miracle cube in Cash Shop. No matter how 'broken' anyone thinks this system could be, I can almost say with no doubts, they will change this.

@WhitePegasus: The drop rate was raised by roughly 5-10x or something. But I think that only applies to how often equipment and other stuff drops. Not the amount of mesos .

[quote=OneRockGod]then how are bosses having 210b hp?[/quote]

Because the HP is server sided now.

[quote=bubblecup118]I'm loling about this. If KMS was 64 bits you know what happens? Any machine on 32 bits would no longer be able to run Maplestory.[/quote]

Terrific deductive logic you have there.

[quote=GeEmEs]I believe KMS has since updated the servers to 64-bit. This means you can store MUCH more mesos than you could on the original Maplestory server which was 32-bit. Don't ask me to elaborate on this - I'm not even sure if I'm explaining this correctly.

But it does means you can store 2^64 mesos (which is about 1.8 x 10^19 or 18 quintillion.)[/quote]

But can we trade maple points into mesos...? I HAVE 100 MAPLE POINTS I'M A RICH MUTHAFAQER!

[quote=meso911]@Tchan: Nah thats just a little too far-fetched even for nexon [/quote]

I wouldn't be surprised. They made bosses pay to survive, why not add more insult to injury?

[quote=Ness]1bil for 1k?

Nothanks.[/quote]

Can't make NX completely obsolete by just some hardcore merching.
Maybe half that, and introduce Maplepoint exclusive items to make it worth it.

Like discounts if you use Maplepoints or something.

@Tchan: Nah thats just a little too far-fetched even for nexon

[quote=meso911]You guys realize its KMSt right, meaning that the ratios are most likely placeholders until they find a reasonable exchange rate.[/quote]

knowing nexon they prob keep it this way....

You guys realize its KMSt right, meaning that the ratios are most likely placeholders until they find a reasonable exchange rate.

100 Million Mesos = 1 Maplepoint.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[quote=pieshadowxx]It'll probably be the same thing except you trade 100b maple points for 1,000 mesos![/quote]

Because nexon; you just can't win in Maplestory.

They haven't updated their servers, the 2.1bil meso cap still exists.

[quote=xDracius]Should be at most 1m for 1, maybe 2m for 1.[/quote]

1bil for 1k?

Nothanks.

@Piggable: Eh... thats what i meant.

[quote=ibrahim65432]can u even carry 100bill meso?[/quote]

[quote=TheNobleRose]Can't we trade Maple Points for Mesos instead? I'd love getting a few hundred billion Mesos![/quote]

My 14800 Maplepoints are waiting for this

[quote=TheNobleRose]Can't we trade Maple Points for Mesos instead? I'd love getting a few hundred billion Mesos![/quote]

It'll probably be the same thing except you trade 100b maple points for 1,000 mesos!

its not botters, its people sitting on toilets in sweat shops grinding mesos for 24 hrs a day for 1$ usd worth a week

[quote=Glory]It might be supposed to be 1k maple points = 100m mesos. Besides, this might never come to gms due hackers and botters (which is illegal in korea).[/quote]

KMS has tons of botters anyways.

It's a joke right

Can't we trade Maple Points for Mesos instead? I'd love getting a few hundred billion Mesos!

@Glory: Hackers and botters are illegal there too...

It might be supposed to be 1k maple points = 100m mesos. Besides, this might never come to gms due hackers and botters (which is illegal in korea).

Must find way to flip it <3

wish it could be the other way around
