    Pfft, you guys stop lying to the poor guy. We all know the best way to get good drops is to delete your items one by one until you click the box.

    the drop rate was calculated back then based on numbers of players, max lvl player, min lvl player and class/lvl of the mob u kill, fuking admin never told us the formula

    besides, i think its just a bad programmed random operation. 1.5 years ago i got 6 chickens in my party fresh with 3 day premium and attila dropped coins (only), my friend's premium finished 2 days before and his attila gave him WP/EP in 1 drop, *and he didnt shared, fuking townnnn, u owe me an EP, and u know it bish *:angry:
    It's always calculated when you kill the mob.

    Any game would do that. The box opens too fast for the server to calculate a rand() when you open the box, because once the boss dies, your computer already recieves the packet with the loot. Clicking on the box is entirely client-side, there's no server interaction once the boss dies with the drop - only when you pick up the drop does your computer send a packet to the server to add the item to your SQL field.

    The drop is not based on an number of players, either - it's based on the total average level. Bosses have a variable drop rate - for example, if the boss is level 110, the closer the total average level of the party is to 110, the better chance of a drop you will get. If the boss's level is, for example, 45, and you have a full party of level 65-70's, you can bet the drop rate will be close to 0, because if you are over the level, it will trigger an immense depreciation of percentage. This is why when you add the SQL database of a boss, there's a field for level and a field for item & drop rate for each item. (it's like 1-20 or something)

    You can't know the formula - it's based on the microtime(rand()) formula innate in almost every new programming language. However, the heightened chances can be determined if you decompile the server code, which should be rather fun.

    What I believe the formula is, is:

    Code:
    result = (monsterLevel - StDev(partyLevelTotal / partyNumber)) * .01
    where StDev() is defined as the standard deviation of partyLevelTotal/partyNumber over the monsterLevel.

    Code:
    if result < 0 then
    
    result * -.01
    
    endif
    Which would depreciate the result if the monsterLevel > StDev(predefined)

    nah alot of games waiting to loot would increase drop rate infact in some past games macro'rs would set there auto loot (or program similiar) to loot at very last second possible and would get sometimes 2x-5x more drop rate
