None crowded XP boost

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

I woke up late.  I slept late because I needed something to do hence I woke up late.  It was 3 hours past the start of XP boost and I am still loading my MU.  The thing that I was worried was that I dont know if I could find a spot where I can level up my mamaw wiz.

When my MU was loaded, I bought pots and went to Tarkan to find a scavage spot. I past by one of the hot spots hoping to beg for a party, and surprise, there was no one there.  With adrenaline rush, I immediately take hold of the spot and made an ES announcing to the world that "HAHAHA" this HOT SPOT is mine !! ALL MINE !!! I was lucky !! :D

Not only that, when I tearfully left the spot for BC/DS, the spot is still unmanned. And going for a BC/DS was easy… i never have to changer server.  What was really going on today, that I dont know. But all I know is that there was an AE duel master.  Congratulations to the one who won.

Conversation with a GM

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

Being a GM is not a game, it’s work. That’s what I realized when I had a conversation with one of the most powerful GM in Bahr.  You not only have to maintain the prestige of your guild but you also have to discipline your members with different personalities and attitudes.  Since Guild wars are there, you have to make sure that your members are loyal to you and are not giving information to competitors.  It was hard work alright, I remembered when he told me that he hadn’t had any sleep because of calls regarding either complaints of members to fellow members or complaints of other players to his member.

When it comes to wars, GM have to plan for strategies on or before the competitions begin.  Long planning is also hard work, GM have to do this in order for the guild to win.  And if the plan works, it will reap amply. 

Since GMs are “powerful” entities, we tend to forget that they are humans as well.  He told me sometimes he felt depressed because of situations he couldn’t handle regarding members and other players.  He also felt frustrated on things that didn’t reach his expectations where expectations were simple.  The things that kept him holding on are players that supported him and advisers to guide him.

With the present situation and status of his guild, all I can say is Kudos to this GM. Good job… and good luck….

Hated being the middle man

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

What I hate being the middle man is to reconcille two people in an online game.

I was supposed to recommend someone to our guild but fate won’t let me.  If the person is online, our GM is not. And minutes after, our GM went online, this person is not. WAAAAAAH !!!! This had been going on for the 4th time and my  veins were getting bigger because of this.

I only hope that this person I am recommending will join our guild before our Guild went full.

It’s LOT time

LOT = Land of Tampuhan

What a headache!!  Last week was a nice LOT, everybody is a little bit friendly (well, there are some pain in the ass, but bearable) but today, it was a  teeth-grinding, fist-pounding experience.

1st reason, dealing with other guilds.  If the partner guild you are sharing LOT with has the same level as you, and have a ton of "PRIDE", two things you will do, either you will stoop down or you will argue. Problem is.. I choose to argue.  Reason behind my choice is that I never bothered touching them because they are not of my jurisdiction, but they tend to judge us as if we were like mice.  I cannot accept that.

2nd reason, dealing with stupid/proud members. LOT RULE: NO CS NO LOT. I deviated it actually, NO CS NO LOT during XP Boost. It was simple.. but to 1 member……noooooo.  I have to explain gazilion times because all he had to say was "bakit?"  GEEEEZZZEEEE.. I don’t know if he can read, but he was a waste of my PK time.  But we really enjoyed (a co-member and I) PKing him near the LOT entrance.  He is one of my candidate for guild-kick.

Im sick

I’m Sick :(

I got colds, cough, sore throat and flu and I can’t do much MU because I felt dizzy. The only way the keeps me leveling up was my auto skill. I didn’t performed much in CS as well, although it was a good fight with Neto, so close that they already stamped and wiped out all the statues, but fortunately, they never overthrown XL. I haven’t even checked attendance of other allies because I couldn’t concentrate. And the most "painful" part about being sick is not going to EBs. Waaaaaaah… Sat EB !!!! Bad timing talaga tong sakit ko !!!!

Well….Surprise surprise. You will never know when to get one. But when you will get it… it will topple all the pain you felt from being sick. That’s what I got from sleeping because I was sick, when I woke up, good news flashed before my very eyes. I LOOTED A EXC LS !!!!!! First, I thought I was just an ordinary LS, I was about to throw it, but my sleepy eyes got shocked when they saw the options – ADD DMG LVL/20 +LUCK. Maybe that was my consolation from being sick, thanks to my auto loot :D

New DL

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Im tired of leveling up my Wiz.  No spot for me, parties were full (Either they just say full dahil mamaw na ako) and DS/BC were so hard to enter.  So what I did was I created a new character… and that is my NEW DL !!!

And holy smoke, I never thought that I could level it up to 110 in just one day.  Eons ago, I could remember how hard it was to lvl up my mamaw wiz.  That I have to spend weeks killing budge dragons and spiders because I could easily be killed by a bull fighter.  Now I could kill bull fighters and Giants with lvl 1 and no armor.  Thanks to that sexy Soldier Elf.  And XPs today, my gosh… behemoth…. With one bull fighter is like 3 lvl ups.

Haaay… I miss the old days.. though I don’t want to go back. 

Today, I also discovered that one of my friend in MU (My selling buddy) is going to London, so he has to sell all his stuff for his dispedida.  With my present condition (Meaning, I’m poor of jewels), I could not even buy a single stuff of his…. which is worth like 500B(minimum) a piece.  I tried to help him, but I dont know if I can, since his stuffs are so expensive.  Though I am tempted to buy his +13+ignore wing… yummy possesion.

Ranking

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Guess my hard word and "puyat" paid off.

With no pilot, I managed to level up and reached 3++. 

Now, I am ranked as top 50 Soul Master in Bahr.  Mamaw na rin ako :D 

My first blog

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Guess I have nothing to do here but wait for my work to come, better start my first post in my new blog instead. 

What will I write then ?  Introduction will be nice… ok ok… So let me introduce myself.

I’m Eywon. One of THE menyek wiz ever known in Bhar.  I am known as the IDOL menyek of EEs.  Ask my friends.  Almost all EEs (and AEs) were victimized by my convincing (and yucking) menyek words resulting to more EE friends and easy party during DS/BC.  That is what I call…. charm :D 

But before I established my image as such, let me bring you back to my humble beginnings.

I started MU because of a friend.  I was not an avid gamer, actually I hate games, it sucks being in a not so real world and be stocked there for hours.  My philosophy that time was, if it is not beneficial, then to hell with it.  The only games I knew were Solitare and Mines Sweeper.

All was changed when I was "forced" to play MU, because this friend of mine need a companion to play with it. He was also a noob.  And besides, this game is free.. thanks to my company :D 

Time passed and I started liking it(…. No.. make that LOVING it) to the point that I became addicted to this game.  My friend quitted but I survived and still involved in this game.

Days came when I met members from Deathrow in one MU EBs and we became instant friends… all because we have the same characteristic…. that is being MENYEK :D

I became a Deathrow and still a Deathrow.  I am now more happy leveling up not because of high XPs but because of my friends in this guild.

There…. next will be my experiences and angst (if ever).  Till my next post :D
