Does GameGuard Really Prevent Hacking?

I bring up this question because I just thought of something.

As usual, I spend a small portion of my day just going through here and reading blogs. Some good, some bad, some rants, some storys, just whatever I click on. It was when I read yet ANOTHER rant about hackers that I stopped and thought about something.

See, I played Maple Story since Beta, played regularly on Scania, and have since switched to Windia. But my memories from way back when have come to the front with my latest thought: read more

Just another usual day…

Well, after the diastrous end to the megaphone that sent crowds to Bera’s channel 20, free market 20; I just went back to training. I still need my ~25mil for my evil wings, and I’m also buying a Dark Lorin.

Anyway, I’ve planned out my leveling period. By the end of this month, I should reach 70 ^^. Hopefully everything works out. read more

Uhhhh…

Well, this morning was very interesting. I log on, and my friend, SleepyBol invites me to chat and asks me if I want his level 50 sin. I say ok and he gives me the info. I logged onto the file and look at his stuff, then i was like, OMG! He had a +7 Meba, +7 Dark Avarice, +7 Black Snowshoes, +1 Icarus Cape(2), and a whole lot more stuff. I was so happy now, and i can’t wait to get the lvl 50 equips. =) read more

A guide for RuneScape tip for cash-makin

Yes, I know MMO is almost trampled by MapleStory lovers, with great story-tellers. However, I’m writing a guide for people that need help with making money in RuneScape. I soon will release a guide for MapleStory too, after a couple month of the game. Well, here the guide starts.

Steel Bars: Heck, due to contruction, the bar rised. Yes, rised horribly. They are now 600-1k each, and constantly bought. Im not a happy camper about this. Coal price rised. Oh well, I’ll wait till it drop again.
When to do this: Have at least 200k in bank to be able to buy 500 coal and 250 iron with at least 30 smithing. read more

The Silence of the Nependeaths

So what happened to the poor Nependeaths?

If you head over to Orbis and hunt Nependeaths for a while you’ll find out that some of the Nependeaths don’t make any noise at all when you hit them. Then there are other Nependeaths that do make noise when you hit them.

These seem to be two completely different types of enemies as all of the Neps that make noise also will attack you as soon as you walk into their area. If you have Dark Sight and walk around past them they will follow your character back and forth, even though they can’t attack you. They also spawn in the exact same places each time and take about five times as long to spawn as the silent Neps. read more

Unbreakable love part 3

short summary of last time: i felt of the cloud as i saw my former love kissed someone.

Suddenly the wind stopped failing. As i opened my eyes a bit i saw that i wasn’t in cloud park anymore.
“Where am i.” i looked around it looked a bit like and open space in a forest but it was something if never seen before. Al my feeling where gone i could not sense it anywhere. I started to walk, Then run. I had no idea why because my feelings where gone then i saw a large river it was beautiful glistering in the sunlight. After i arrived i saw the river dry out i had no idea what i mend but it went so fast i could say someone made a hole in the riverbed.
Then within minutes i starred at a empty riverbed. The next time i remember was that i heard a voice from behind calling me. read more

Hacker Diaries – Day 8

Tuesday, June 20, 2006 – 9:50 PM

Just started another new character today. Gonna be a Cleric.

Found a vaccer. His name was Rob something, I couldn’t catch it because every time I saw him, he cc’ed.

I also saw a fly-hacker in the Free Market earlier, but no harm was done. His name was ImTheWorld or something.

EDIT:

Just saw one at 10:01 PM. RipperXx – Vaccing. read more

Nameless Consequence Prologue

(Note; for the prologue, the speech is in third-person. Further chapters are in First-person.)

It all started some years ago…

*Flashback*

“So Tetsu, ya’ ready for the journey Victoria Island?” asked Shanks. A gruff voice replied, “Whatever Shanks, just get me to it.”
At that moment, speakers from around the harbor blared out, “ALL ABOARD THE MAPLE ISLAND DEPARTURE!” read more

Hackers…who are they?

I’ve done some thinking over this subject, and i believe that i have come to a reasonable deduction. ALIENS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD! O.K. that was just to get your attention, if i havn’t done so already. I believe that hackers are wizets veryown game masters. Now before you throw a bottle of wine at your computor screen (somehow, you assume the bottle of wine will go throught the computor screen, and into my face…-_-“), let me explain. First of all, hacking is an alteration of origanl codes, am i incorrect? and in order to do that, a person has to get their hands on it. Which brings me to this final statement, who do you think has the original files to maplestory? and for those of you who arn’t able to figure out who, it’s the people incharge of maplestory. And if you still can’t figure it out…it’s the game masters…and game masters arn’t always the people who play the game, they can also be people who are incharge of making the game. Which bring me to my second point, have you guys noticed that the hacker population increase, was right after the cash shop came out, and people started to buy the stuff? well, i have…and i believe that the GMs do need their pay. Now, i am not saying that they are stealign the money (which I am), but i really am not confirming that GMs are the hackers (which i was trying to do =D), however, these are just thoughts, please do not flame me for stating my ideas, instead…just tell me yours, i think that this is a start of a new thread…(maybe i should post this in a forum too?) read more

Nameless Consequence; Part 1, Chapter 1

And so, our story begins…
(Also, Tetsu is a bandit right now, and he starts the story as level 20)

“Tetsu, this is your destiny, the destiny that you have chosen, you, whom destiny has chosen”

“NOOOOOOO!!” I sat up, drenched in sweat. The freakish nightmare I’d had echoed within the bowels of my mind, and I knew I wouldn’t be forgetting it anytime soon. Then I noticed my surroundings.
“Where the h*ll am I!?” “In a safe place,” a teenager’s voice was heard, and soon after, I
saw a shape come forward. “Well, your lucky I found you, you were about to become a wolf’s feast. But anyway, I’m Rei, and he’s Teepo. And to answer you question, this is our ‘home.'”
I was astounded by how Rei and Teepo were living; alone in the woods, both teens with their
own needs. “So, why do you guys live all alone out here?” I asked. “Well…um…” “Yes?” I
was getting impatient for Rei’s answer. “Its because…because….we’re both orphans.” His
answer was startling enough, and when I looked at my own self, I was pretty much an orphan as
well. “Well Rei, thanks for saving me. How did you find me, anyways?” “I was just hunting
when I heard a crash, and when I looked ahead, you were there, sprawled on the dirt–” “Like how was, right Rei?” Teepo cut in.
“Hahaha, yeah Teepo, yeah… OH S***T! I just remembered we have no food left, and with another mouth to feed–” “Don’t sweat it, I hardly eat anything,” I said, even though I was unsure about how much I actually ate. read more
