Understanding Maplestory and how amazing it actually is from a average gamers view.

What did I say about the BrazilMS source? All of the code for PQs are in Lua scripts on the server which are just as easy to diagnose.

bad example then, but I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that the DB has separate tables for items depending where they are (inventory, equipped, duey, storage, etc.) And if the Lua scripts have as much power as js, Nexon really isn't using them well (not familiar with Lua)
