You all know that when you take a screenshot the time and date saves, So right click them screenshots go to properties and it will tell you the time it was created, Well we can gather all those times and compare them and maybe we can come up with a community socket trick. Post time and date and time zone. Quote: Im converting the times into Eastern Time Zone Time ~*(Friend)*~ 7:33 A.M. Eastern Time Zone Socket Lvl 70 boots (Lvl 60-70 upgrade) ~*(ROFLSAUCE)*~ 7:33 P.M. Eastern Time Zone Socket Lvl 20 boots (Lvl 10-20 upgrade) ~*(GiYo)~ 8:33 P.M. Eastern Time Zone =2 people got a sock at that time= Quote: By: ROFLSAUCE I dont have a screen shot but i made soc boots on a friday at 7:33pm cst used 9 mets on 9 seperate norm lvl 10 boots Quote: 0:32 CET on a side note, the date seems to matter too i think that time changes with each patch Quote: Current Theory at every :33 of every hour brings a sock

emerging

Watch yourself NyaR your on thin ice as it is, this is not a spelling thread and for all you know english may not be my main language..

XX:33 aint true, just spammed 100 mets from 9:30 pm EST-9:40 pm EST.

Perhaps it has something to do with the date/month?

I dunno but I am damn pissed because no one my bots are working now because gay bjx got them stuck in jail 1 with fine of 250k and other with 1 of 300k. Spent all my mets and got shit for them :\

Yea but I don't really see the point because they seem to also be getting arrested during day and every time they are arrested it goes up in bail out money. So why?

i got my first socket at 8:15 pm

my theory is this:
1. you send an upgrade packet to the server
2. server generates a random number
3. you get the number and if the number falls in a certain range you get a socket. (this is calculated on server side)

now not sure if u guys see any other way, but random numbers on a computer dont just come out of thin air. theyre made using an equation that measures against time. so basically on a specific second on any given day will generate the exact same "random" number, which would explain how people who know a socket trick all say its a certain time.

thats y 2 guys on my server make 2-3 sockets per week?
they have all the luck, always, and no1 else has?
there has to be a patern, one of them is makin normal items with sock, every 2-3 days, a new one

I call this bull i have a friend who makes 4 socks a week and he says its time based and wont tell me hell i wanna smack him >.<

I convert to GMT-8 it's actually right after SM

It would make sence if it were to run on packets, like a packet gets sent off like was said before, perhaps a certain number is sent off and it interacts with the server, maybe, (1/100) so you always have a chance.

Javier please dont call other peoples ideas bull. ;)
