It's called the "Scunthorpe Problem", and Maple Story is far from the only online game that has it.
Ironically, some games have profanity filters that can even be worse, like turning "hello" into "hecko" or "teaspoon" into "teasfecesn" , or even "cl***" instead of "class" (***uming, of course, that the filter doesn't outright censor the whole message and automatically ban you from the board)
Okay, since everyone in the game is, as usual, ignoring my pleas for help, I'll ask here.
I can't transfer one of my toons from Burning World, because it claims I have a pending trade in the Auction House. But I can't access the Auction House from the Burning World Leap Zone, and I can't leave the Leap Zone! What do I do?? I didn't have this issue with the other toon, btw.
1. Strategywiki is a little outdated, but mostly, yes.
2. I believe so
3. That's a very complicated system, this link should explain it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/2gggv7/total_damage_vs_att/
4. I believe ATT power is "base attack", as in, ATT before Buffs.
5. False. Magic ATT is a separate statistic.
6. They can (with their regular weapon attack), but they're terrible at it.
7. A buff is defined as any temporary bonus to any score that benefits the character. Buffs can improve your AC, ATT, Skills, or even Drop chances, can be considered Buffs. Consumables like potions and coupons both bestow buffs, as do some Skills, both yours and those given by other players. Equipment does not, as the benefit is not temporary, unless you remove the equipment in question. A "debuff", on the other hand, is something that hinders the character, like a condition.
