Fun fact: the maximum amount of money you can hold in Maple story is actually half the 32 bit maximum, at 2,147,483,647.
That means it's being stored as a signed integer for some reason. The other half of the binary space is for the negative values, which was probably a poor choice. Unless there is a valid case when you can have negative money. Is debt a thing in Maple Story?
Not at all, but it definitely used to get exploited a lot back in the day.
I bet they thought using signed integers made math easier or something.
