The reason why it was 30k is because it's close to 32767, which is the maximum value of a signed short (16 bits). Maplestory exclusively uses signed numbers, so for it to be greater than 32767, it would have to be a signed word (32-bits). Since it must be a signed int, that would make the theoretical maximum of 2.1 billion HP, but I bet the ceiling is much lower than that.
