Hello.
Basically, if you are doing anything, try your best to do it alone.
TL;DR. SCROLL TO BOTTOM OF POST FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS.
You may or may not have heard of the private server known as "AthionStory". You also may or may not have noticed certain servers that are sometimes one rank above Athion, or others in general, going offline for short periods of time, and conveniently come back online a few hours after Athion passed it.
Let me introduce us. Cuba, Mario, also known as dinkie here. Sinatra, Ian, or mrsaints, saintsian or whatever you would like to call him as. Athion, Blueberry. No clue RZ account. GreenSnail, Moogra or superlol. Phelps/Bolt, EvilSanta. And finally, me, RainbowDash, Jesse, whatever.
Let me also get one thing straight about myself. I quit MapleStory quite a while ago after having been screwed over once, and haven't looked back to it. Mario was doing a job for me and we have had quite a few deals gone well so I thought I had nothing to lose with him.
Let me also clear up a few misconceptions that if you are a player, at least one of you have asked at some point.
AthionStory was never undergoing "closed beta". It was labeled "closed beta" but with slot amount incremented each time it got under the value 10 or whatever, in the effort that new players might think their account is exclusive. The "wigger tactics" as per Mario. There would be a wipe and all like a normal beta, but the definition of "closed beta" is that spots are limited or invite only and for Athion this was not the case.
The other misconception, that Athion got to its rank because of quality. Sure Athion had *some* quality, but it was certainly not what got us the ranks. I have been making a stress test tool for a bit, and the way Athion reached its rank was because of what Mario called "strategic DDoSing". Basically, they used my tool, to "stress test" any competing servers with settings they knew would crash them. They knew the game was utter crap (and hell even had a huge argument over that) so they basically had to rely on using my tool for this purpose to get to where they are. I am not an active part of the PS scene so didn't really care what he used my tool for as long as he didn't DDoS any government websites.
Jay of ChickenMS, MypleStory, etc., and whatnot. You might know of these events. They lied right to your face and I have full chat logs to show you it.
So now, why the hell am I releasing this stuff? They were paying me 25%!
Before I start this next part, let me get something straight. I had never done anything to suggest that I might try to do anything against Mario. Actually, I was the nicest person to him and even offered to buy him upgrades for his computer for another deal that would probably have been more beneficial for himself than for me, but just because I was hoping he would be a good friend and help out a bit more in the future.
Let's also get a second part straight. We more or less knew that Athion was dead anyways. Server bills were due in literally 2 days and we had $0 in the bank. Mario had planned to buy a few $7 VPSes from ChicagoVPS. Well, to him, the best of luck hosting a gameserver on a $7 VPS. I had paid out of my own pocket all the hosting expenses up till then, with the promise that I would be paid back, for the grand total of $310. Athion would have never existed if not for this. Not only this, I've also spent several days trying to configure their server and firewall to their exact requests. Some changes I didn't quite agree with, but hell, whatever.
Well anyways, continuing on. Mario is a Special person who thinks he's the dictator of everything. He decided to contact Dan for pretty much what can be seen as a game of bets of whether he could take EdenMS offline. (EdenMS recently installed a new firewall and the rest of the team wanted to see if this firewall was effective. Mario wanted to just have this bragging right.) Obviously I wasn't going to pay for his bragging rights (since this obviously takes quite a bit of bandwidth which isn't free) so I told him I'd only let him do a small test that would let him check if Eden's protection was indeed better than ours so he could set it up if needed. Well, this probably wouldn't have resulted in Eden's being offline (and hence him not having this bragging right), so he declined saying that my software could simply not take it offline.
Well, for reasons unknown Mario decided this was a good topic for argument and it eventually led to the conclusion that he just didn't want to pay me my cut.

You can find all of the latest files as of this posting here: Index of /downloads including our full website source, server and client (still uploading, should be done in a bit.). Feel free to do whatever with this v1.16 server.
The client which everyone says is special? All it is is a pretty looking interface that drops the public LEN files and starts MapleStory. Feel free to just screenshot it, cut out the parts, and use a PictureBox element and make your own version of it - that's what Rahul pretty much did except rather than screenshots he had a PSD!

Lithium based source so I couldn't imagine it being more than a few simple edits to the Lithium SQL. I won't release the SQL file because I don't want to screw over players.
FOR ALL PLAYERS. THE SERVER IS CLOSED. REGARDLESS OF WHAT COMES AFTER THIS.
Also. As a personal request. Please never donate to any private server because you're "supporting" the server. It's almost never for server costs.
Also.
Server is remaining down. You have lied to half of the Maple community (that owns a decent server and even some that don't) in regards to the DDoS attacks, cussed out every single staff member and insulted their work when all you've done yourself is contribute 7 measly dollars to a few Byspot ads and make a dirt simple design for the homepage, and stolen (from me). You've betrayed every single one of our members, lied to your friends. How the hell can you even say I betrayed us? I put my personal project (which to be honest we both know was much more promising) on hold just to try to see to it that Athion would get to a higher rank. You? You spent your time doing aforementioned, and when you weren't you were either trolling or masturbating to porn as you even said so yourself. Me? I stayed around and tried to listen to what players had to say about the server, after all, as you posted yourself, they are what makes the server, right? No, you bitched at me for 10 minutes straight, each time I brought up an idea from a player or hell, even a GM, about listening to what users want because it's contrary to what you want. So, since you seem to enjoy drama and failing so much, it'll be my personal word to you that it stays down.
Signing off of Maple community forever.
