My buddy last night while training at memory monks suddently got a popup which minimized ms for a good 5-10 min, when she got back she was still at full health. Also, if you alt-tab and afk for a while, when you come back, you see all the players moving and flying past you even though everything happened hours before. This leads me to believe that the game doesn't process taking damage while you alt-tab.
I should test this out when i get home...
Yes you do freeze in time when you alt tab. And you can infuriate the GM Police by being alt-tabbed. If you leach someone who is alt tabbed the atacker will get dc'ed by GM Police. If you want to annoy the world sit on some nibby popular training map with your automatic party searcher on while you are alt-tabbed (browsing forums or something) and anyone who joins your party and kills a few monsters will dc (best results are relog another account on another windows account so you can watch the results). You also don't see chats or maple tips while alt tabbed. But you still get the "you've been playing x hours" messages. This is not new in this patch, it came with the previous patch that "helped fix" compatibility issues. Window mode fixes these issues if your computer is up, but I haven't tried it with logging into another windows account (got sick of dc'ing and gave up leaching my little mules). Clearly training someone who is alt-tabbing is hacking as that's what the GM Police keep telling me.
