Dumb Ass:

 

Horizon:

They had ask for suggestion for the next Loyalty Rewards Costume,  I make use of Meta AI from WhatsApp to create some design which I think are awesome. As it is not really very smart to understand my idea, only 2 out of 6 are chosen while I Google the remaining. I will predict that they will be asking for our suggestion again when they plan to come out with the new Loyalty Rewards Pet, guess the Game Sage they had choose are not able to give them better suggestion as  they had copy most of it from private server.

Peanut had been throwing his temper these days, he had been asking a lot of players which he doesn't like to shut up and quit the game. I am not sure why he still think he own the server and not sure why they even choose him as a Game Sage in the first place. He is the reason most players decided to leave the server, and most players think he should be the one that suppose to shut up and quit the game.

He must have been facing a lot of difficulty in real life, but he should not have bring his emotion into the game. I guess he had finally realized that he had been losing out a lot by selling his Loyalty Rewards stuffs cheap and end up with not much gold to buy the stuffs he need now. It doesn't really take a genius to figure that out early, but it really goes to show how dumb he is to only realized it now.

Think it wouldn't be long before they remove him as a Game Sage when they realize that the server is dead after a lot of players left because of a few lousy Game Sage who doesn't know much about the game. Or he might decide to quit the game himself after he realized that he is not the most popular guy on the server.

Aphelion:

A lot of players are back after they decided to finally shut down the Phoenix Server, guess Goofy had finally realized that his direction that he is moving toward making it more like official server had been a bad idea. Not sure if he manage to find out who is the one who had been leading him in the wrong direction, but we are grateful that things are going to be slowly going back to normal.

Have been busy preparing for Chinese New Year for the past few weeks and had never been active much on both server. As there are no interesting events happening on both server after the Christmas Event end, there are really nothing much to do other than farming for stuffs and leveling pets.

Beta Tester:

 Cricket had invite me to help him test his server, I had agree to it after the Christmas Event end. He had change it in a way that we would get enough SP from quests to learn our skills, I like his ideas of making players work for something instead of giving it to them direct. After trying out for a day I manage to complete the Apprenticeship and level the guild to Level 6 for XP Lock, I also make another toon to try out the system twice to confirm some doubt.

I really like the layout of the map with NPC at various location which cover most of the area so that we do not have to waste time running around, it even have portal which allow teleport in both direction to make it easy. I find the quests are a bit off as I seem to level pass most of the mob before I complete the quest, and the level of the mob for the same quest seem to vary more than 6 levels which make the lower level mob already turn blue before we complete it.

This is very obvious from the start where I had to go back and kill lower level mob after I had already level pass it, and I try to repeat the process just to get a confirmation. The most obvious example is when I finally get the quest to go Velpist Temple after killing Level 27 Blood Wolf, and the quest in Velpist Temple require me to kill Level 10 Wandering Zombie, Level 12 Ancient Zombie and Level 14 Berserk Zombie.

As the mob had already turn blue, it will not give any drops which defeat the purpose of the quest. I am also unable to kill Level 27 Blood at Level 15 or lower so that I could ensure that Level 10 Wandering Zombie will still be green, so I foresee this will be a major issue for most players. The rewards for the quests had also been change to ensure we get better stuffs that are useful, it also give us the option to choose between different items depend on which one we think we will need more.

But overall I will say it is still not Newbie Friendly, as I also face difficulty at lower level before I complete my apprenticeship. The new update that the official server had make seem to be the better option with +15 gears at different level which allow us to complete apprenticeship easily. I notice that the Starter PBI and PSSP had been increase from 1 to 5 but the level limit did not increase from Level 35 to Level 50.

This will make it useless as we only able to use 1 when we do Prokion Temple and we will encounter a bottle neck at around Level 40 when we went to do the Jail Dungeon at Merac. Official Server ways of giving LI and Boosters seem to backfire when they are unable to stop Spam Bot from using World Chat as they are able to get to Level 50 easily, and stopping low level from using World Chat seem to be a bad idea all along.

Transformers:

 Horizon:

Seem like they have underestimate the botter and decided to end the Christmas Event early, a lot of players are very unhappy about it. Even after the introduction of Anti Cheat they found out that some players are still able to find a way around it and continue to farm a lot of snow flake, it doesn't really affect the US server much as there are not much active players.

I was surprised that Spam Bot had YouTube Channel, not sure what kind of video they going to show. As usual they are in Merchant Mode and there us nothing much I can play with, I just have to ignore them until they come out with a solution to get rid of them completely. A lot of players think they are going to increase the level limit further from Level 50 to Level 100 for using world chat, but that is going to cause a lot of issues for other players.

For example god had start to feel lonely when he can't chat with other while he is SP Farming with his low level toon, a lot of newbie also unable to get any help which will be back to square one of them quitting the game. Raising the level limit also not effective as I had try before and prove that it can be done in just 4 to 6 hours, and delay of account registration also doesn't seem to work.

Overall we can see that they are just lazy to do the check themselves, and keep finding excuse that they are short in manpower. They also doesn't trust the Game Sage to give them more authority, and their selection of Game Sage prove to be doubtful after hearing a lot of players feedback that the Game Sage seem to target certain players without any reason and take thing personally just to show their power.

Aphelion:

Got another Rudolph pet, and I think I am going to get about 2 more when I transfer stuffs with merchant toon. Thing start to head in the good direction after they start to focus more, and the recent Christmas Event prove to be better as compare to Halloween. They should continue to improve and dare to be different instead of following other people footstep, that is what make them unique from other server and attract more players.

Happy New Year:

 Aphelion:

Manage to get 9 Rudolph, think will be able to get more before the event end. Anti wanted to give me a Legendary Dual Sword, but I had been happy with the normal one as I do not want to encounter any damage limit which most players had encountered. Manage to get Level 200 Armor Set for all my alternate after completing 6 sets which include 3 for Rogue, 1 for Mage, 1 for Sorcerer and 1 for Healer. Now the only thing left is to get the weapon for few of them.

Horizon:

Got about 3 Laca Costume so far, for Knight, Rogue and Mage. The one god give me when I give him the Baby Goat Pet was for Healer, guess I just need to get Titan, Sorcerer and Night Shadow to complete the collection. Still got about two weeks before the event end, mostly doing farming and pet leveling. The Laca Costume most likely will be giving away when I do Marie Kondo again before Christmas.

Hopefully I am able to get more potions from the Easter Event as I had transfer most of it to my pet leveler, at the moment I just try to get as many Heaven Stone Grade 5 as possible for future upgrade event. Been playing causally for the past few months and had built a reputation for myself as I had give away a lot of stuffs, guess the stuffs I am going to get from Loyalty Rewards will be mostly use for the Giveaway before Christmas too.

Spam Bot start to appear when New Year us near, guess they got some quota to meet like those scammer who keep calling me on my phone. They are smarter this time and set themselves in Merchant Mode so that a lot of my previous trick doesn't work on them, so in the end all the players had to just add them to Ignore List. It is a surprise to me that they still think it is worth the effort even though there are not much active players here, maybe a lot of players decided to give up on EU server and stay here for good.

Merry Christmas:

 Horizon:

Got 3 Laca Costume this year, Knight, Healer and Rogue. A lot of players claimed it is harder to get this year, but it doesn't really bother me much as I am not into cosplay. The other two horse are Level 56 and Level 53, guess I should be able to get two more horse mount by year end. Not sure if I want to continue leveling more horse after that, as I notice more players start to target pet leveler for no reason.

 P.S.:

 

 

Peanut got into a big fight with another player, as usual both of them think they are right and others are wrong. They can't really understand that it is just a game, they treat it like it is some kind of competition or their livelihood depend on it. Guess a lot of them had notice the increase in price for lot of stuffs as less players are going for the loyalty rewards and they are making it harder for players to get stuffs, they finally feel the pain of not much stuffs and not much gold while the OG just sit back and enjoy the whole drama.

Aphelion:

Been able to get 6 Rudolph this year, that is twice the amount I get as compare to last year. It is mainly because they give Token for every hour your toon stay online, and to my surprise the offline merchant get it too. I didn't even bother to do the Christmas Event Map this year as I am able to complete most of the quest from other means of getting the Decoration and Fragment, the Santa Claus one is harder to complete but I also manage to get 500 of each Fragment just from leveling a few pets. Now my only problem is to save up 30T of gold to get enough Curse Book for the pets to learn Buff Skill, I did get a lot of Pet Weapon and Armor from the Laca Ball.

They had come out with the Christmas Package this year, although they finally list the content of the package on Discord but due to the lack of Reborn Skip I am not really interested in it. Guess they are really worried about the drastic drop in players, and they are trying very hard to get all the old players back with rewards. The lack in management had cost them to lose a lot of loyal players over the months, and they should not have split their focus on two different server in the first place. Now Phoenix Server is completely dead with less than 50 players, not sure if Warth and Anaq still insist on staying there. Although Aphelion Server had seen a small increase in players to about 300, but most of them are old players which got bored of Phoenix Server and return instead of new players.

Advent Laca 2.0:

Horizon:

They had changed the Laca, but only White Token. It give Heaven Stone Grade 8, Socket Reset Scroll, Sublime Scroll, Red Lucky Pouch and Party Defense Potion. I manage to get 5 x Heaven Stone Grade 8, 14 x Socket Reset Scroll, 84 x Sublime Scroll, 291 x Red Lucky Pouch and 856 x Party Defense Potion from 1250 White Token.

They had increase the Christmas Tree Buff to Lvl 4 as usual, and mobs start to drop White Token. They had encountered a lot of botters for farming of Snow Flake, and there are players who had a few full stack of Fraction Iris. They decide to remove those full stacks as it will affect the economy of the game server, but not sure if it is really effective as the issue had been there for months.

P.S.:

Peanut seem to have a lot of hate in him, but he doesn't realized that nobody listen to his advice because it is bad. OG like god and Rick had been crazy about farming in Dark Tomb during Christmas Event since Gamigo time, but they had change their focus to Snow Flake since last Christmas. The reason behind it is that the rewards are better and it is so much easier, even after they Nerf the Christmas Event a lot this year still doesn't really change the fact.

After he realized that he will be stuck with all the stuffs he farm from both Christmas Event and Loyalty Rewards, he start to change his attitude and start selling them at higher price now. He should have realized that earlier since he had been having a lot of argument with Rick over the price of stuffs for months, so I am not sure that his recent changes is due to his fit of anger or finally open himself up to accept reality.

Pet Experience:

 

Horizon:

Had try out using Experience Pet to level P2 Pet using Pet Cool Down, from Level 1 to Level 40 still level normally. Start transferring experience from Exp Pet to P2 Pet from Level 40 onward with every kill and using Pet CD after that, it will need about 33 Pet CD to get to Level 50 and 63 Pet CD to reach Level 60. Manage to get two Kai to Battle and a Ursus to Nanook, now in progress of getting 4 more Elephant to Level 60 and 2 more Polar Bear to Nanook.

Try killing Christmas Boss with other players as usual, but the drop rate is bad with only Rick getting a Rein Deer Pet Collar after few days. That useless Game Sage had been trying to argue that the drops for Christmas Boss are different from Halloween Boss, it is that same as saying that the Christmas Candy are different from Halloween Candy. Christmas Event is just a Copy Cat of the Halloween Event, and as usual they try to boost about the minor changes as if they had put in a lot of effort into making the new patch.

The Seven Wonder of Horizon still continue to think they own the server as they continue to offer low price for buying stuffs, and the OG continue to laugh at them and keep their stuffs for their own use. We can see a lot of them are unable to get the stuffs they need during events, and the OG just ignore them and enjoy the fruits of their labor with all the stuffs they had save up over the years. And seem like a lot of them are also not prepared for the Advent Laca and start to envy the OG for getting so many good stuffs from it, guess they had only themselves to blame as they do not believe or listen to the OG advise when it was reveal to them few months before the event start.

 

Aphelion:

Manage to get another Rudolph with 20K Tokens, think should be able to get another 1 or 2 more before the event end. Now the issue is to save up enough gold to get the Curse Book for the Buff Skill, been using a lot for getting B8 gears for my Royal Knight, Ex Ranger and Arch Wizard.
