they cant do som deg 8 cuz they DONT EXIST! RAWR!!!!

SoM is "between SoS and a SoSUn"
which JM put as +5 for SoS and +15 for SoSun

som is btw sos and sosun but they said sos = about +7 and sosun = about +15. ppl still believe its +5 for sos -__- they said it on the official site in a q&a. go read ppl =P

so yeah the sos+8 is basically the lowest equivalent to som+0...

Perhaps, but when you compare SOS weapon to a +5 of same level ingame, it doesnt work out to +7.

Assuming both have relatively similar damage %.

Kinda good they didn't give out the SOM just because the cap needs to be raised first. Which....I dont think is gonna happen soon even though the GM says so because they didnt give out som...

Yeah its kinda good, especially because in your last "W0000000T! I GOT +9" thread everyone was saying that the GNGWC people would get SoM, and your +9 would be much worse. Now you can safely say, "Athena_vn is VICTORIOUS!"

OK here are some facts and some conjectures:
1. JM could not give the som items> reason they were not in the code for the game yet, if they had given those som`s out they would have acted like "HACKED" items, i m sure u all have played games that hacked items were intrduced into.
2. JM delayed the prize givaway for the som items> prob cause the new update was close but not complete.
3. A GM came on one of the forums saying the update was soon, very close to that date the post was made delaying the prize givaway even futher away, > meaning JM was experiencing problems with the new update and the transposing of all the code.
4. The duping on babel> JM is under pressure not only from the dupers but now also the rollback plus the prize givaway.
5. Compensation event to help relieve some pressure on JM from the players also granting of the SoS +8 items to appease the prize contestants.
I fully expected the new update on the day the som items were to be given, and truthfully i think that was JM`s intention, the reason for the delays, hell who knows but u have to realize all the code for this game is in korean, so transposing it to english has got to cause some problems, hence the first delay (JM thinking they would have it ready by then) which didn`t happen so henceforth a second delay of the som`s while JM works out the bugs, thinking they could get it done by then, (didn`t happen) now as it stands it seems like they are experiencing major problems with the update and instead of dragging the delays anyfuther they give SoS+8 instead.
Know i knew alot of u prize winners are a lil unhappy but hell u got it for free, and possibly JM decided to give this to u instead of dragging this out another mth, cause like i said they could not give u the som items before the new update (that would have been impossible, they would have constantly crashed u or others around u since they are not in the game code at this time)..

Yes i wish they had been able to load up the new update and open the new area and all us live happily ever after, ahhh sorry kiddo this is real life not fairy land. With the delays it really looks like JM is having major problems transposing the code from korean to english.
