Any idea why the Slime Casino wheels like to eat our shield?

I'm not talking about whammies. Occasionally when you spend extended amounts of time in a slime casino, your shield will randomly just... Lose shield health. Sometimes it will lose all of its shield health, and since you can't take a hit with it anymore (goes straight to you), it simply doesn't recover. I've tested it when it takes only half your shield health - being hit recovers it, but once it's completely gone it's just gone for the rest of that level.

I can see a danger room from my casino and being shieldless isn't making it look too appealing.

I have never gotten my shield's health drained by rolling a casino wheel. I did not pay much attention to it before though so it might be the case that I had had that happen to me without noticing it. But ever since reading this (yesterday) I've been keeping an eye for that and my shield bar is always full health.

Haven't noticed

The only abnormal behaviour I've seen while spinning the Casino Wheels was once, and that was the text for the rewards turning blue.

The only thing that "slimes" and "shield-eating" makes me think of are D&D's rather acidic slimes and Like-Likes from Legend of Zelda.

Bug

There's this bug. Whenever I disconnect and then I come back on, my chat screen says m.no_such_place. What is this! Please help.

It could be a Java variable. 'm' could be a class instance, and 'no_such_place' would be an attribute.

If it is a Java variable, then it's probably just some debugging code so the devs know when a certain (unexpected) code branch has been executed.

Goofio nailed it

When the game, or any publicly available but not open sourced program for that matter, gets encoded the various classes are renamed to 'a','b','c','d',etc. so as to hide the functionality. Anyone that can still decipher the code could presumably just make their own MMO, and it's enough to defer most script kiddies from making mods for their clients.

Class or instance 'm' in this case, since it has a variable called 'no_such_place' would likely be either a main infrastructure class, or a class designed with the express purpose of handling constants.
