Internal date	never published. From the derived packages: last Ymir-hand timestamp 24/9/2013 22:14, then four months of silence until 22/1/2014.
Possession	It appears on RaGEZONE on 2/1/2014 («Leaked last version of Metin2 client/server/tools/source»); the fingerprints are published on 7-8/1/2014.
Preservation	Not acquired as a file. The archive preserves its descendants (2014-2016 scene sources, the Prime server trunk) and four heavy sources catalogued as post-2014, which serve as counter-evidence.

What it is

The first leak (2009) gave the scene the binaries and created the figure of the administrator; this one gave the sources and created that of the developer. Whoever confuses the two understands nothing of the scene. TEC Interactive's email to Webzen Ymir of 25/11/2013 («SERVER FILE LEAKAGE») says where they were taken from: the Korean patch server. In the source there remain mainline and novaline, names of internal Ymir branches; Version.py still calls p4 changes -m1: the numbers «34k», «40k», «40250» with which the scene christens its own copies are the company's Perforce changelists.

No new sources leak has surfaced since 2014. Modern resources (Yohara, Aamon) reach the scene within days, but only on the client side: the server implementation has never come out again.

The evidence

• F Byte count and SHA-256 published on RaGEZONE on 8/1/2014 and repeated identically ever since.
• F The most recent Ymir-hand date in the corpus is #wj 2014.1.2. in game.py; the last dated line in the server is from 11/9/2013 (battle.cpp).
• F There is an Easter 2013 quest; nothing exists for Halloween or Christmas 2013: the server had stopped living before the autumn. The theft window narrows from ten weeks to two.
