1-What is the action taken by the server to send the client to character making or logging in other words what's the packet sent by the server to client that either sends client to character making or logging in game
2-should i make a recieve thread for each client like impulse does or there is a better way to do it i dont think its a good idea to use a recieve thread for each client since a char could go afk or so
1: Once the gameserver has finished setting up its connection with the client (including encryption) the client sends the login request packet (type 1052). The server then checks validation for this user (if they've been approved by the login server) and then sends a talk packet to control if they get to log into the game or if they get sent to character creation (type 1004)
The options are...
Normal login: "ANSWER_OK"
Character creation: "NEW_ROLE"

And any other message with be thrown as a dialog in the login.
Sorry I intended to reply to your second question but I guess I ran to work :S
As korv said... thread per players is a very poor way of handling things.
There's lots of ways you could handle your threading and I don't think anyone here can make the claim that there's one absolute best way to deal with it in every situation but here's some of my oppinions.
Use an async socket system so that you don't need to have threads blocked off for receiving from client (eliminates the need for thread per client). From there I would tell the threadpool to process the received information. This allows for packets to be processed concurrently while at the same time not needing you to hard code a specific number of threads to switch between. From there I'd most likely just create a couple server threads to run through specific functions (monster AI thread, slow updates, fast updates is my general advice but I'm sure others would disagree)
If you write a threading system and you find certain things are really not running the way you would expect them to (such as monsters slowing down/freezing while the server runs) then I'd suggest using the stopwatch class to time how long each thread loop takes to execute. It really helps you track down issues. I know I was having an issue with my monster thread once where monsters were not being removed from the active collection so as players logged in/monsters re spawned the thread was slowing down more and more till it appeared almost frozen.

1.- How are sp spend?
I've been reading about sp farming so I haven't used a single sp. Right now my char is lvl 10 and have 310 sp and now I wanna add a skill. What I don't understand is, do I spend one for each mastery level?, or I can click 'Level up' anytime for free and the sp are spend when I level the skills.
2.- When they say Xlvl gap, it means the difference...

Has anyone found a way to find a player on the current screen (as in mouse co-ords)?
Reason I ask is cause I am thinking of writing an app for my Miner, so when he gets PKed, it logs in my water and revs him, closes the client my water is logged into then continues mining on my Miner client. I could do it with a set mouse position, but then...
