i am not sure
but i can suggest to take a look at cq_Action (going be a looooong day )
it need to be in there somewhere because there is everything related to the game
els it are the server files like the message server (like the max star of the pets)
but if i am not wrong
it cant be database related , because the database got a max value of 64k (645335 or something like that, can be wrong to :P )
so if it is db related like the max level , then it need to be a max star level and then you are not able to compose over it like the max level (max level set on 15 then you cant get pass that level)
so i think it is the msg server related problem and that it need to be in there somewhere
like you removed the max star rank (putted to 999999999....)
hopes this can help you to find the soluton , but i cant help with it because i dont have that problem (lowrate
)
