Swiming with the Fishes:

 Horizon:

World Cup Event had started, but the drop rate for Festival Box is very low. They had 300% Pet EXP and 500% EXP Event during the weekend, so I just focus on leveling my Horse and leveling my Trolling Toon. Manage to get the remaining 3 to complete their Apprenticeship and get Merchant Profession, now I have try out the skills for all class except Night Shadow.

Moza Lito had become another Zed, she had been trying to buy Moon Stone Box at 1.5M while the Market Price is 3M. At least she is also selling her stuffs cheap and not trying to make profit by reselling stuff like Zed. Zed had become less active these days, not sure if he had decided to play other server.

Aphelion:

CanniBuz and Speedy seem to be having a good time, guess they are staying here for good as I seldom see them log on on Horizon much. Manage to found the other 2 Immortal Boss in Juno while looking for CanniBuz to give him some stuffs, one of it is near Hunter Drenoir which I manage to complete the Horn Beast Achievement while the other is near Border Guard Tamon which is good for leveling pet as there are no mob nearby.

There are still a lot of self entitled players who keep trying to buy stuffs at half the market price, usually most players will just ignore them and they will have to buy it at the normal market price or higher if they really need it. Guess it is the same issue on most server, and you can easily identify them by their nationality.

Took part in the Treasure Hunt Event, never really bother much until I saw the Game Sage is near to the Immortal Boss when Ankou and his Alternate claim the Token at Farmer Jack. Since I am nearby I might as well take a few step to go over and claim the 3rd position, I actually thought I would just stop there and go back to Immortal Boss as I am trying to level my last Trolling Toon on other server. But the location in Juno Map is too obvious and I just got to move my butt to participate.

The Dratan location is challenging, Ankou was not happy when I manage to reach the first location before him and his Alternate. I decided to let him claim first and second place before I go just to make him happy. The other two location I also mistook it for the one near NPC but I still manage to find it after some effort due to my exploration of the map when I am bored.

The third map is Merac, the first two location is easy but the last one kind of encounter some giltch. All of us actually reach the exact location but could not find the Game Sage after searching high and low for her. Later we found out that she got disconnected and we just wait for her to log on back. Actually I am not sure if I reach later than the other players but it doesn't really matter much as I just join for fun, end up I got 37 Token and Ankou got 75 while his Alternate got 59.

Star Trek The Final Frontier:

 Horizon:

Manage to get about 40 Platinum Blessed Iris, 8.5K XP Booster and 740 Socket Reset Card with Wooden Key, and we are not surprise that they turn back on their word again and decided to end the Wooden Key Laca on Monday instead of permanent as they had promised, The price of Wooden Key had increase from 1M to 5M, and it will still worth about 4M after the Laca end because now we only need 250 of it to trade for Gold Key.

We believe they would also end the Curse Heart Laca too as it will also affect the economy, it will be fair to both low and high level players as both Laca cater to different group. Some high level players even prefer to farm Wooden Key with their Noob Alternate as they find the rewards for Wooden Key Laca are more appealing and useful to them.

Make a few changes to adapt to the new situation, first is to use my Buff Toons for Merchant as got too may stuffs to sell. They can be in Party and do Buffs without closing the Merchant Mode Window, only the one that need to Mount Knightmare will need to close the Merchant Mode. Due to the new changes I will need to speed up the leveling of another Horse and Dragon, the Dragon is just to fulfill the dream of having Twin Dragon Shop which I have during Aeria time.

Been trying out using my Raid Boss Hunter for Pet Leveling, the Level 33 Royal Knight is not that suitable due to low hit rate but the Level 53 Assassin and Level 75 Royal Knight can do it at both Dratan ad Merac and kill Boss when it spawn. With the new setup it would increase the efficiency for selling stuff and pet leveling, it will also help in Farming or Leveling of other toon as they can receive buffs anytime.

Toy Story:

 

Horizon:

Guess they finally realized that they are losing a lot of players, they decide to make a lot of changes according to players suggestion. Most of it doesn't really interest me much as it is more for high level players, like the increase in drop rate for Dark Tomb and the Curse Heart Laca which give those rewards like Level 19 and 22 Jewel, Theos and Darkness Chest, Key, Medicine and Jewel Fusion Scroll.

They had allow the use of Pet and Ignition on Channel 4 which is for Castle Siege, remove the Penalty for Red Name, let Night Shadow ride Mount which I think are stupid as it will backlash and cause more issues later as that was not what the game is design for. Now we can fully convince that they don't really know the game at all and are just making changes to make most players happy.

What really interesting is the Wooden Key Laca which give Pet Exp Potion, Jewel Removal Scroll, Lucky Scroll, Pet Exp Booster, Platinum Quick Mana Potion. It also give Platinum Super Skill Pill, Sublime Scroll, SP Spell Box, Skill Point Booster, Green Herb Leaf or Platinum Blessed Iris, Socket Reset Card, Exp Scroll, Exp Booster, Quality Stone.

They also reduce the amount of Wooden Key need for Golden Key from 1K to 250, Treasure Chest also give better stuffs now as it give Heaven Stone 5 instead of Heaven Stone 1 and also better Potion and Jewel. The Golden Chest also give better reward which is Heaven Stone 8, Legendary Scroll, Medicine, Socket Reset Card, Perfect Moonstone and Red Diesel Pet.

The Skill Point for Curse Weaver and Curse Lich in Egeha, Sorcerer Spirit in Travia Valley and Ramslo Lab had been increase to help with Skill Point Farming at higher level, but not sure why the Skill Point for Spider in Temple of Forgetfulness did not get increase back as it is also a very essential location for pet leveling.

They also increase the amount of gold for selling to NPC by 20% and hold 200% Upgrade, Drop Rate and Gold Event to balance all the resources on the server. If they had been closely monitoring all these data, it would not had reach the point where it become a disaster. I don't think it will really make much different as the amount of active players had greatly reduce and the remaining players cannot do much to save the economy with limited resources.

Mission Impossible:

 

Horizon:

After trying out with Beta Tester and get an idea of the perfect leveling path, I decided to make a few alternate to try out for different class. The list of alternate are as follows:

Brocco Lee (War Master) Brother of Bruised Lee

John Wig (Specialist) Highest Body Count in Movie History

Bread Pick (Royal Knight) Breakfast at Tiffany

Bruised Willy (Royal Knight) Die Hard with a Vanity

Tailor Swift (Archer) Fast Fashion Statement

Cereal Killer (Assassin) Killing you slowly with a Spoon

Mad Donna (Witch) Crazy Pop Queen

Morning Wood (Royal Knight) Hard On

Fat Man (War Master) Brother of Bat Man

Hairy Porter (Specialist) Sassy Carrier

Brag Pit (Royal Knight) Boost Hole

Dick Tracy (Royal Knight) Straight into your Pants

Catty Purry (Archer) Pussy Cat Doll

Fast N Curious (Assassin) Speedy Gonzalas

Bettle Juice (Witch) Insect Terminator

Sum Ting Wong (Royal Knight) Daze and Confuse

Their main purpose to to get Certificate of Guardianship and Troll a few players while we wait for another new patch which hopefully will improve the situation for PVE Player. It will also provide Level 1 +15 Armor for few of my Farmer Toon, and maybe Level 30 +15 Armor too.

Aphelion:

Another new player named Light Angel from Brazil asking for help with killing Newbie Hunter Boss, as I am doing some morning logistic with my toon I decided to send my Level 22 Rogue Striker Eureka to help. He was skeptical at first as his Mage is 4 level higher than my Rogue, but I had done it with Level 16 Toon with Level 5 Ignition so this toon should be able to do it with Gilese Rune and Legendary Pet.

As expected it was an easy task and I got it done within a few seconds, he couldn't believe it and ask if I could kill Level 220 Balrog too. Actually I am also not very sure about it and decided to give it a try, fair enough the fate of Balrog also end up the same as Newbie Hunter. It was easy as I just need to keep the Boss Snare and just let the Pet do all the Damage, it might not be possible when we are not allow to use pet in Juno.

Beta Test:

 Horizon:

Noticed that one of my toon got Level 30 to 33 +15 gears at Level 31 instead of +10, decided to make a new toon to try out after god told me that he get Level 1 +15 gears with some useful items. Since I had already try a few Ex Rogue, I decided to give Arch Mage a try too. Their Level 1 armor had the defense of Level 50, with the new update they will have no issue to reach Level 50.

True enough I am getting all the stuffs as god had told me, other than the Level 1 +15 gears I am also getting the followings:

5 Legendary Iris

5 Legendary Skill Pill

2 HP Steal

2 MP Steal

5 Cool Down

1000 XP Booster

1000 SP Booster

50 Recall Scroll

50 Memory Scroll

It starting to give the private server vibe with the newbie package, not sure if they send Game Sage to try out private server and copy the idea.

The SP stuffs can be use at Level 12 Sassy if got XP Lock from Level 6 Guild, or it can also be use at Prokion Temple from Level 23 to Level 35. The XP stuffs can be use at Merac Jail or Temple of Forgetfulness to level fast, or can save it for Tomb or Vald Quest if you plan for higher level.

At the moment my plan is just to get it to Level 50 to complete the Guardian System, might continue to get it further to Level 70 for pet leveling later. Although all the item are Character Bond, it is still a good way to get Certificate of Guardianship which is in demand for Merchant Profession and learning Soul Skill.

There are more update on the next coming patch, we are not sure what surprise it will give but we can only hope for the better. For now we just had to play and enjoy the game while we still can and not to worry about what the future had planed for us. I just had a bad feeling that they might decide to merge all server and finally shut it down if a lot of players just decide to remain AFK and not going to play until they fix the current issues which come with the new patch.

Aphelion:

They had increase the level require for Shiva to learn AOE from Level 1 to Level 100, it is not really an issue for old players as we can do it in about 30 mins or less. It will still be a difficult task for newbie without the gears, accessory or rune to boost pet experience and pet experience pill or pet experience booster. But at least the base status for the pet is high and doesn't die easy like the buff pet, it is still easy to level it as you kill mob to level your toon.

Avatar The Last Airbender:

 Horizon:

Recent Patch had remove the Elemental System,  a lot of players are not happy about that. Mob are harder to kill now as the Base Attack and Defense is no longer 2 times due to the previous Elemental Advantage. They did a few emergency reboot and patch to fix some of the issues that occur due to the recent patch, it goes to show that they never really test it before they launch the patch.

One of the patch is to increase the PVE Damage by 50% to compensate for the remove of the Elemental System, but taking away 100% and give back 50% kind of remind me of the story of giving chicken wing and take back the whole chicken. A lot of players are going to quit and I foresee mass migration to private server.

Had manage to Level Up my Lizard Ruv to Evolution 3 to become Godzilla and Polar Bear to Iorek Byrnison, decided to level a second one and slowly build an army of Godzilla and Iorek Byrnison. god had also been leveling his pet, he had finish with Jaguar and now doing Panda and Polar Bear.

Aphelion:

They had decided to restore the Pet AOE, but it is Nerf to 5 Target instead of 25 or 50 Target, the Cool Down also increase from 6 Second to 60 Second. This still doesn't make much different as it just make the Pet AOE as useless as the Battle Pet on Official Server, if the Nerf is 50% instead of 90% it might still be better.

As the Pet AOE is still not good enough for farming, I still spend most of my time on Immortal Boss after I finish with my daily routine. CanniBuz and his wife Violent Gypsy had got married, I also notice all of them had manage to get to Level 200 as they do not need my help with Four Realm Quest any more.

Strawberry Generation:

 Horizon:

They are stupid enough to start Element of Iris Event before they end the Easter Event, this had make the shortage of Inventory Space even worst. And the schedule maintenance also didn't happen, and they had decided to extend the Easter Event for another week. The Element of Iris Event also repeat the same Element we had last time, this go to show that they don't really care or put much effort on the planning of the events.

A few incident had happened during the past week, I would say it had cause a bit of drama for the almost dead server. Moza Lito had been crying for Windy Buff and doesn't seem to get any due to a lot of Buffer had been going on vacation or busy with other stuffs in their life. I also had not been active much other than doing some farming to make use of the Bunny while the event last.

She claim that Sly will PK all the Buffer if nobody buff her, and end up she got PK by Sly and blame me for it. She never understand the real reason that had led to her getting PK, it was her big mouth which offended most of the players and she push the blame to someone who doesn't even had a clue or even in anyway related to the whole incident.

It is very common that a lot of newbie start to get over their head after they had reach certain level, I remember hearing that god PK a player name Trill due to his arrogant. This is also what happen to Diesel Boy before when he thought he owned the whole server just because he became very rich by selling Iris Cash.

A lot of newbie keep asking for stuffs which they cannot afford, like +30 Weapon or Premium Stuffs from Item Mall. They keep saying they just start playing and don't have much gold, but why they still desire expensive stuffs when they could not afford it? I remember we use to make the best of what is available to us and live with +10 or +15 Weapon and using those item which drop commonly from normal mob.

We had been through a lot of hardship to achieve what we had today and all these newbie just come and demand all the best item and complain about how difficult it is for them to play without those stuffs or buffs. All these newbie will not last long and will quit easily when they encounter bottleneck and start giving up when nobody is willing to help them anymore.

Aphelion:

Never really play much since they remove the AOE Pet, been mostly helping Speedy and CanniBuz on their leveling at Four Realm Quest. Was surprise that Lady Wolf also decided to try out this server, but notice that Zekkan only play for a while and decided to go back to Horizon. The worst is that they had reduce the Experience for Floriam Cave and remove the Monster Combo to prevent players from using an alternative method for leveling, now it had become a linear path which is set by them with no freedom of choice.

Met a new player named Try Hard, he had remind me of Cleri and Blood Mage. He kept trying to level fast and would not rest until he reach maximum level, I told him to take it easy as he do not have all the stuffs he need and it will take a lot of time to get those stuffs. I try to support him in anyway I can as I don't really use much of the stuffs I had, he was very grateful for all the help I had offer.

Speedy ask me on how to get the Wedding Ring, I told him that he can try to get the Fragment from Good Moonstone or Laca Ball using Royal Aphelion Token. He found out that he could also get the Wedding Ring from Laca Ball using the Expedition Token too, but I told him it is much harder to get as it will take a lot of luck. Since he is going to play here for long, he should be able to get at least 4 per month from the Cash he get from Voting and staying online.

As he and Anaqsunamun had a lot of Alternate, it will still take about six months to a year for all their Alternate to get married. I had see a lot of familiar name pop up on the Guardian System, it is an indication of mass migration from Horizon to here. The Website also indicate an increase in number of active players over the week, I guess it is a good sign that the community is growing.
