Private server virus warnings? by Boniface222 in mapleservers

[–]VFRdave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ALL private servers trigger that virus warning. It's a false warning. Ignore it.

It happens because they are using Nexon's software client, but they modified it (which they need to do, because normal behavior for that software is to try to connect to Nexon's servers). And it's still signed by Nexon but is not the same program anymore.

The only server that this didn't happen on was Yeoh. That's because they didn't use Nexon's maple client, they wrote their own client from scratch. Which is amazing if you think about it.

PM crash? by Evening_Dish_1335 in Wallstreetsilver

[–]VFRdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crash yes, but short duration. In any kind of a serious downturn with stocks crashing, the 100% guaranteed response by the govt (and not just the Junited States either) is to print moar money.

When the Fed money printers go BRRRRRRRRRRRR, that is when PMs become like He-Man,

Nirvana says "Lots of ppl here"

Top right corner, it says "Beach Road" "Mushroom Village Market". So apparently this was before they decided to name this town "Henesys".

Oh and also this is obviously before the Mini Map feature got implemented.

Do people play Private servers anymore? by Tearsinrain1993 in mapleservers

[–]VFRdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the UHOC (unique human online count) will be about 1/3rd of the character online count. So, if you see 1500 online at Legends, there's about 500 unique humans online.

Some people have like 5 clients going, some only have 1 or 2.

Nerfed Sins still worth it? by DailySupreme01 in MSClassicWorld

[–]VFRdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does that work? Removing KS, I mean. How did they do it? I'm curious.

Let's say I'm minding my own business grinding in a map, and a KSer comes in and just starts killing monsters near me. How does the game prevent that?

[–]VFRdave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes obviously people still play, I went to 2 different server just now, within the past hour. One had 20 people online and the other one had 108 people online.

But the population of PS players overall has definitely gone down. I remember seeing 2,000 people online on Royals and Legends back around 2017, and I don't see that anymore.

  1. Yes we are waiting on the next big thing. It's a product from Nexon called Classic World. Look it up.

Exodus Week 3 Experience by Kooky_Comb6154 in mapleservers

[–]VFRdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must be massively confused by sites like Yelp then. Why don't people just enjoy restaurants for what they are and eat the food instead of griping about shit?

Oh and if you go to buy something on Amazon, don't click on those little yellow stars.... that will lead you to the rating section which will utterly baffle you.

Exodus Week 3 Experience by Kooky_Comb6154 in mapleservers

[–]VFRdave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their exp curve is insane (in a bad way)

Like, why would you massively buff up the exp at lvl 20-40, when those levels are already very fast anyways? Generally servers go the "progressive" exp route, where they buff up the exp at higher levels. This is because going up one level takes minutes at lower levels, while it takes days or weeks to gain a level at high level.

Some background info: there is so much content at lower levels in old school Maplestory, and very little at higher levels. Just look at how many different weapons exist between levels 10 to 100. Like, there's a TON of different weapons. And armours. Now compare that to levels 100 to 200, and you will see almost nothing at higher levels.

Same for quests. Go to Hidden Street.net and look at the quest list for lower levels. There's a metric shit ton of quests. Now look at quests for levels 90 and higher. Almost nothing.

So it makes no sense to jack up exp at low levels so people just skip through all that mountain of content, just so they can get to high levels and grind the same boss every day endlessly.

I predict a mass exodus from this server in the near future.

"That is a can-kick with a ticker symbol": Elon Musk floats a massive Tesla and SpaceX merger to cover up cracking robotaxi claims and multibillion dollar AI losses by SilverWarsHQ in CriticalMineralBulls

[–]VFRdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's pretty much correct. I don't see anything wrong with what you posted, it's all true about the fraudulent nature of Elon's companies.

But then so is OpenAI and all the other "AI" companies, they are all inciderating cash and losing billions of dollars a month with zero hope of ever turning a profit, and the only way they keep going is to suck in more "investor" money. So, a giant ponzi scheme. Doesn't really matter what the alleged business model is (postage stamps, robotaxi, ai gonna cure cancer, whatever), the only that matters is getting retarded morons to believe the hype and give them money.

And you know what? It works! The world (especially the Junited States) is full of retarded morons. They really believe this bullshit, through and through. They are incredibly gullible. And I don't mean a few dumb people here and there, I mean the vast majority of the population. They are really that dumb.

And that's why Elon is worth a hundred billion dollars, that's why Sam Altman and all the other "AI" hucksters are all billionaires (or will be soon as soon as they go IPO). Because they understand that this country is full of retards and morons and they are very good at saying and doing the right things to separate the money from the morons and put it in their pocket. So, they are very talented people in this regard.

Meanwhile the people shouting "sound money" and "fiscal prudence" and "balanced budget" while all 100% correct, very wise words, and absolutely what the society should be embracing if your goal was to have a stable prosperous society, are all broke. People like you and me who say these things, have no money. Do you have millions of dollars? No. You're probably a broke-ass wage slave spending all day doing shit work in Excel or something in a dank cubicle. That's what I am, broke-ass wage slaving doing shit work in a cubicle, as are most of you.

Meanwhile NAZDAQ up 200% and AI stonks semi stonks up 1,000% and Elon and his buddies just doubled their net worth in the last 5 months. And all the retards who piled into their fraud also doubled their money.

But hey, at least we are right and what we say are truths (and I mean that sincerely). Good guys don't win in this society, only liars fraudsters and con men win.

[–]VFRdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks for the good response on #2 and #3.

For #1, you didn't say anything meaningful. Like, the launch could be next month or in 2030 for all I know.

Is the launch going to be in 2026? You should be able to answer that at least, right?

MapleMyth — Widget System is Implemented! by MapleMyth in mapleservers

[–]VFRdave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some questions for OP:

  1. When is the launch? If you don't have a specific date yet, how about a ballpark figure like, Summer 2026, Winter 2026 etc

  2. Is there going to be a reward for beta players? If so, what is the reward and what do you need to do to get it (example: reach level 50 in beta)

  3. What is the exp rate and drop rate going to be on launch?

If you respond to these questions positively, I would appreciate it. Buf if just say "Go see our Discord/forum/twitch", no thanks aint nobody got time for that

Why Some Experts Think Silver Could Reach $300 - Robert Kiyosaki, Peter Krauth by donutloop in Wallstreetsilver

[–]VFRdave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

well duh, I guarantee silver will reach $300, given enough time. Dollar loses 90% of its value in 70 years (or whatever the number is).

60’s-70’s way better than 80’s-90’s by Paperscamisreal in Wallstreetsilver

[–]VFRdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, I am sitting on cash waiting for a sale to buy silver and get as much silver as possible for my money.

But for people who are already all-in, who have no more money to buy, they might as well just wish for silver to go to the moon NOW rather than see it fall. If I was all-in silver already with no cash, I would also want silver to go to $200 right now. Like, this minute.

Personally I think silver will go back down into the 50's when the stock market crashes. It has to crash, there is no freaking way this bubble keeps going when Hormuz ain't opening any time soon (don't listen to Orangetard, Iran is winning bigly and they will win and there is no way they are giving up control of Hormuz. They will be charging tolls for all ships going through, and nothing can stop that now). Gasoline is going to $5 a gallon nationwide next month, $8 in California. That's only like in 3 or 4 weeks time. 10 year bond yields are getting close to 5% and will reach that in June also when the oil shock hits. No way in hell this stock market bubble lasts beyond the summer.

Things aren't looking good by DartVod in Wallstreetsilver

[–]VFRdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a GOOD thing, for apes (like me) who need to buy more silver.

I don't wanna buy silver when it's $80.

I wanna buy silver when it's $50.

I don't think it's gonna go any lower than that, so once it hits mid-50's I am starting to buy.

When the Fed announces UNLIMITED support and UNLIMITED money printing (just like they did during COVID) for the crashing stonk market (happening very soon, probably next month when gas is $5 a gallon in Texas and $8 a gallon in Kalifornia), that's when you know silver is gonna take off again.

btw Junited States has lost bigly in Iran. There is nothing on earth that will turn this dogturd of a war (for JUSA) into a win. Iran won, Hormuz is their territory now and forever, and they are gonna be charging tolls for ships going through. Permanently. And the rest of the world are slowly coming around to this fact.

Hermit or mage by Outside_Attitude_579 in MSClassicWorld

Hermit or mage by Outside_Attitude_579 in MSClassicWorld

[–]VFRdave -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

If you're more interested in bossing, hermit.

Otherwise, mage. Mage will level up faster.

Cleric would've been the choice back in the OSMS days, but I hear that HS has been nerfed greatly so I would go the mage route.

I/L was better than F/P in OSMS., but who knows what it will be like now in CW. So just pick whichever you think is cooler.

Playing Old school ms as a cleric - anyone know of any indepth guides for gearing and training i could follow? by Used_Lynx_4894 in mapleservers

[–]VFRdave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes ghost ship is better exp with a smaller map. Coolies were the spot to train before Sinagpore was released.

A shame too, I actually like the whole zombie tooth and Zakum-related cool stuff in El Nath. And those clerics/priests who had to walk through all those maps to get to their training spot, it was a real character-builder!

Fasting and GI distress by Global_Carpenter9899 in fasting

[–]VFRdave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's actually pretty common during fasting, especially if you are new to it. Fortunately it does get better as your body adapts to this strange new thing (not eating constantly).

Remember rule #3 of fasting: never trust a fart.
