Day 3 of mage glitch Mhm.... and those people said nexon was getting better. The least they could do is shut down the game and attempt to fix it rather than announce "Maplestory is coming to Steam!" :~( At this point, I also find it pretty unlikely that all if not most of the abusers will be banned, because at this point, tons and tons of mages and phantoms are abusing the heck out of it, and to ban all of them would really hurt nexon's reputation and *gasp* income. And we all know how much they love their income. Edit: This also might come off to seem like i'm raging at the mages, i'm not, i'm raging at nexon. Edit 2: Wonderful, they just announced 2x exp and drop for the weekend. Still no word about fixing the glitch, but at lea

I have a quick question So, as most of you know, the virtue event gives out AEE, and hammers. Now, since I have only ever bought nx once before, i'm pretty unfamiliar with hammers and such. Just wondering, since you get AEE before hammers, if you use an AEE on a weapon that has 0 slots left, can you still use the hammers on that same item even after the enhancement? I'm confused since enhancements can only be used on items with 0 slots, and I figured it might effect hammers too. Thanks.

Having trouble with occult cube So I got an occult cube from a root abyss a few days ago. The problem is I can't use it. First thing I did was double click it, that did nothing. So then I decided i'd just drag it onto the piece of equipment I wanted to use it on. A message popped up saying, "Cannot be used on this item" even though the item had an epic potential. I then tried to use it on other pieces of equipment with rare or epic potential. No matter what the equip was, the same message popped up. Am I doing something wrong? Please enlighten me.

Old Maple Curiosity So before you yell at me for posting an old maple thread, i'm not saying "Remember this" or "Nexon please revert back to old maple." This thread is out of curiosity of all the threads we see saying I miss old maple. The point of this thread is to ask a simple question. If Nexon created an alternate server which was maplestory 2006, how many of you would actually play the server full time? We see these threads all the time, and our nostalgia sometimes gets the best of us, but i'm just wondering how many of you would give up everything you worked for on the main server to play the old maplestory server, despite it being much slower and harder than the current maplestory. And yes, I said full time, not h

How big is your maple characters head? We all know that our maple avatar's have freakishly large heads? But how big are those heads? Well, to put this into perspective, the average human being has a leg length anywhere from 20 - 35 inches. On your maple avatar, your body (Not including the head) is literally double your leg length. So, assuming that maple characters are the height of an average human being, they are anywhere from 40 - 70 inches in height. But what does that have to do with the head? Well, another measurement for the leg is that it is usually 3 - 3 and a half times the size of your face. Now, not including your hair and what not, the head on your maple character is close to 1 and a half times the size of your legs. So your c

How to Avoid dissapointment As we all know, there are many things going wrong after the server maintenance, and many people are frustrated that they cannot play. So here is a simple way to avoid disappointment. 1. Look ahead for any time there is a scheduled server maintenance, and begin making other plans for that day. 2. Check back once the scheduled server maintenance is done, and if everything is fine, fantastic, go play maplestory. However if it isn't(which is most cases) then proceed to step 3. 3. Go do your other plans you had made for that day. Prepare for extra down time, it usually only takes a few hours to a day for most of the big glitches to be fixed. 4. Check back after a few hours to a day, and there you go. (Note: If you are

Tip regarding chat hackers So, I was a little skeptical about these chat hacker rumors, but yesterday I received an invitation from somebody like "dkfsjafb" and obviously declined it and disabled my chat. However I decided to do a little more investigating, and did /find. To my surprise, he was in the fm entrance. After searching around the fm entrance some more, I found one other guy with a name like "sknsfkn." Now is this 100% positive that these guys were chat hackers? Of course not, but I would think it is good enough evidence to post on basil and warn people. Now obviously if somebody sends you a chat that seems suspicious, don't accept it. But the main reason I posted this? Be more cautious while in the fm, because

Level 200 - 250 EDIT: Earlier data regarding total exp from 200 -250 was incorrect and received from and incredible source, the data you see now is correct. So, how long would it take to get from level 200 - 250? Well, lets start with the basics. The total exp needed to go from 250 - 250 is 10,312,878,652,835. Now, assuming the person training is solo training at future perion golems, which give 130,514 experience points, on 1x, you would need to kill 79,017,413 golems to achieve level 250. Now, assuming you are funded and can 1 hit golems, and can kill, I don't know, lets say 5 golems per second, if you were constantly killing 5 golems per second, no exception, it would take you 15,804,383 seconds to get there (4390 hours = 183 days = 0.5
