I think the mana update bug is exclusive to P1999, as I haven't seen it on other servers w/ SoF. P1999 did a few alterations in the back end that have been noted over time (such as hybrids only having 64% max mana, the out of drink/food mana regeneration hacks, etc) and they don't officially support SoF so side effects are inevitable, ya know? I don't blame em, nor do I even really document them since it's one of those unintended side effects.

Personally I think for P1999 it'd be best to just disable the opcode acceptance of SoF clients so players can't log in using the client, just so you can focus on titanium support as you did initially. Since it seems map viewing support can't be disabled on SoF, and luclin graphics can always be on, it means that SoF is kind of an unfair advantage to titanium on the P1999 servers.

But then again, I have a friend who only owns SoF and would not be able to play with me on P1999 if this blocking of SoF occured on P1999. So it probably isn't an ideal thing.

Does anyone know why players are able to create names that are all lowercase? (no upeprcase first letter names?) I keep seeing them pop up on various servers. I was curious how they're managing that, I'm guessing an injected packet during character creation to bypass the forced upper letter on client then the server isn't verifying it properly..?
