Insect Collection:

 

Horizon:

Insect Collection had started, guess god and I will be focusing on the event. I usually use my Raid Boss Hunter for the event but decided to use my farming toon this time as I still haven't finish the farming, it will be more efficient and I can also get Raid Boss on two channels while I farm. Same like previous year, I will be doing the event with a more casual approach like god as they had remove the CSS from the rewards.

Notice a new player named Gelius harassing my pet leveler, the funny part is he mistook Caugs Flower to be mine and destroy it by mistake. He later return and destroy the one my pet leveler is using and stay behind for a while to observe if I response to it. He later found my pet leveler continue to level horse in Merac on other channel and decided to imitate Ains style and let the Elemental Boss to spawn and kill my pet leveler.

Voyeur ask me if Biscuit is Peanut Alternate as she is having a bad time dealing with him, I told her about Gelius and disclose my prediction of what I think is going to happen next. She seem to went silent after hearing about it, seem like she is keeping a lot of secrets and trying to find out about other people secrets through chatting with them.

I had make an analysis of the situation and simulate various scenario, I found that it will be very hard for Peanut to create any drama. All he could do is to harass my pet leveler now, and due to the time zone different I could still continue to level my horse when he sleep. Unless he and his wife do rotating shift, it will be very hard for him to disrupt my pet leveling progress.

The other activity I like is Raid Boss Hunting, and in order to disrupt that he will need at least 4 persons doing rotating shift. And the funny part is that even after using so much resources, I am still able to do most of the events while farming for Pictorial Book. So overall he will be wasting his time and effort and end up with nothing, but I still think he will be dumb enough to try and tired himself out.

If he really understand the story of the two monks, he would have put it down after crossing the river instead of still holding on to it. There is another story about letting go which talk about a monk asking the student to hold on to a cup while he pour hot water inside, when the cup become too hot and the student feel the pain he still have to let go of the cup. 

 

P.S.:

Peanut seem to left out two Fire Ore in Merac on Day 2 and both my pet leveler are able to continue leveling horse for another few hours, he later use his wife toon PewStar to destroy the Fire Ore much later and leave a smiley face in normal chat to cover up his rage. As I am already going to sleep in few hours and I was watching Drama and Variety Show with my wife, I just log off my pet lever for the day.

I foresee he will be jumping up and down when he could not find my pet leveler later, and this is part of my plan as I had already try out various different locations for pet leveling as back up. For now I will just remain as normal and see how the situation progress, I have also notice that Tremi and a few of his guildies from Trolling had been very active recently on world chat.

I think they are trying to get my attention and trying to show that Peanut had been very helpful to other players, but because I am busy farming for pictorial book and lazy to keep switching toon to entertain them I will just ignore them. I guess they will be jumping up and down like Peanut and gone crazy after a few days when they realized that their plan is not working.

Tremi had been very chatty on world chat recently, she could have done it in Light Bringer Discord instead with the AI Chat Bot as it will let her gain experience and level up to gain 35 more levels to catch up with Lord. And she had been announcing her sleep time when Peanut just woke up and say good night to her, and I had never seen any Flower or Fire Ore getting destroy on Day 3. Not sure if Peanut had finally give up or he rather focus on insect collection instead of wasting his time and effort on me. 

As expected Peanut resume back to the normal routine, I can only say everything goes according to plan. It is like writing flip it over on both side of a paper and it will keep him occupied, haven't seen any of his guildies continue to spam the chat anymore. His pride and ego will be the best tool to use, and I can only say he is the only one who is not as smart as his other guildies.

Not sure if Peanut was lazy or he started to feel the drain, I am able to continue leveling horse on other channel as expected. I did not see him appear for the rest of the day, the next day morning I found that he had found out his mistake yesterday and went on a rage. He thought he had manage to get my pet level before he sleep but I just send him a smiley on world chat, I guess he must have lose sleep when he could not find my pet leveler while they are still leveling horse at other location. 

Peanut is trying to get my attention after he harass my pet leveler, but I was in toilet during that time. He could have say he caught me with my pants down, but he doesn't really have a sense of humor. He went into a few minutes of awkward silence when I mention about Mustafa, and he got to use switching channel as an excuse. Anybody who play the game will already know it only take a few seconds to switch channel, and he immediately say good night right after that. Not sure if he did not get enough sleep and went back to catch up on it or hiding at one corner crying.

Weed had try out using Level 90 Jump Pot and then later use Level 120 Jump Pot, he got 24K of SP from the Level 90 Jump Pot and another 44K of SP from the Level 120 Jump Pot. I notice that there are different in the amount of SP for different class with Rogue getting less and Sorcerer getting more, I ask him to keep me updated when he does the same for different class so that I can collect more info.

I had completed the farming of Twig and Horn Beast Hide for the second set of farming toon, seem like the drop rate improve with 1 Twig or Horn Beats Hide with every 7 to 8 Treant Fruit or Horn Beast Eyes. The last time when I did during Christmas Event with Christmas Tree Drop Rate Buff was not that good, it was like 1 Twig or Horn Beats Hide with every 15 to 20 Treant Fruit or Horn Beast Eyes. 

Aphelion:

They are going to end the Easter Event and start the Summer Event soon, I will be spending a day to complete the quests doing my John Wick stuffs just before the Easter Event end. As I got no interest in Summer Event at all, I will just focus on other event on the official server. They had been trying to get new Game Sage recently, and Didine had approach me when she see me helping other players on world chat.

But I am worry that I would not be able to enjoy the game if there are some responsibility involve, so I still choose to be normal players as I can still continue to help other players whenever they need. I will have more freedom to do whatever I want instead of having to host events at specific timing, as I am in different time zone with the server it will be another issue I got to overcome.

Egg Inc:

 

Aphelion:

Back to farming for Easter Egg after completing Guardian of the Galaxy Vol 3, the setup is over power as expected. Each toon take about 2 to 4 hours to farm for Pictorial Book stuffs, the whole process occupied whole day. But the result is fulfilling as I get lots of drop over the process, I did not understand why I had set this up a year ago but now it all become clear.

Now the stuffs will become rare items as most players did not have low level toon, they have to get the Drop Accessory from Item Mall which allow drop for mobs of lower level which cost 7K Cash. The Transformation Scroll at Merac are also very hard to get, got to do two run with full inventory of all 6 additional bags to get enough for Pictorial Book. The Pilferer one is even harder with only 20 of it after two full runs, at least the Blood Frenzy one is able to get 50.

I am not sure if I should give up on Titan if there is not enough time for the day, as it is not really that important according to the Pictorial Book. Still getting about 250 Easter Egg of each type, so will still stick to the plan of going to event map every 10 days to complete the weekly quest for the Premium Bless. I can get Premium Bless from Bloodymir Boss too, but it is a rare drop like the Affinity Booster of the Egeha Boss.

My focus will be on this server until the Easter Event start on the other server, I might balance between the two when that happen. But the main focus will still be mainly on this server as the rewards are better, I also got a lot of stuffs on other server which should be able to last me for few years.

P.S.:

Had notice that they had change the storage of Easter Egg back to 1, guess there are too many players botting at Easter Map. It is a very effective way to prevent cheat too, and I had also notice they are using the same method like the recent change on official server where the hitting of mob or picking up of item are block at certain angle.   

Horizon:

Peanut had been changing his schedule on his mission to bring misery to other players, guess he had fell for the trap after I troll and agitate him. He will drain himself out in no time and it will affect his health greatly, guess it is kind of a retribution for him for doing bad deeds. The new trolling toons will be able to use the world chat in 3 days, I could have level them to Level 100 and use it now but I feel there is no urgency in it.

The 12th horse is already Level 56 with 1 more level to go, the 13th horse is Level 39, due to the time zone different Peanut harassment on pet leveler did not bother me much. I am still able to level my horse at a slower pace, I don't think he can stay awake for 72 hours like what Cleri or Try Hard did. He will realise that all his effort are a waste of time, if most of the players continue to troll him daily he might become angry and start to do stupid thing to get himself ban.

If there are too many players complaint and quit, the management might have to step in and interfere with the harassment. The exchange of harsh words on world chat might also trigger the management attention, they might even consider removing the useless Game Sage even though he is the only one active now. Smokey and Crossy had step down from the Game Sage position, guess Warth and Anaq might be able to come back and enjoy the game. Crossy is the only good one so far with good knowledge and helpful to other players, now I know why Kry didn't want to take up the post even though she is over qualify for it.

Another situation might also happen when a lot of players keep reporting various issue with the game, then the useless Game Sage will be too busy handling the problem and quit after he cannot take the stress or work load. He might be able to continue to make other players misery his mission in life but he would not able to continue pretending to play nice and think he own the server.  

P.S.:

Have notice that some Fire Ore is still there when I wake up every morning, I thought Peanut kind of miss out a few due to tireness. But after I saw a few pet leveler idle on the spot, I realize that those spot just respawn early. I thought Peanut usual style will be doing it from Channel 1 to Channel 6, but from the recently observation he had change it a bit and start from Channel 6 instead.

It is still within my expectation as the slight change in his schedule and sequence seem very predictable, guess he is limited by his brain power and unable to adapt well to my random style of play. It will continue to agitate him after seeing that I am still able to level horse despite his change in style, it will anger him even more when my 12th horse is finally complete.

The decision for Fawkes to change Channel 6 into Non PVP is a really wise choise, it give us more choice and kind of limit Peanut ability to harass other. Guess it is like putting a leash on a dog and all it can do is just bark, that is why I say he remind me of Van Wilder movie but guess he didn't really get the point. Even if he is able to respond to my trolling, he will also fell into the trap of admitting that he is a dog himself. 

Leopard Never Change Its Spots:

 

 Horizon:

I happen to saw  Peanut whining on World Chat on my Pet Leveler when I was doing my daily routine on Aphelion, I didn't really pay much attention to it as it had already become a norm. I was surprised that he had start to target Voyuer after me and NJoy seem to be not much active these days, same like Smokey I did suspect that he went to Aphelion and apply for Game Sage position just to continue picking on and targeting Warth and trying to force him to quit.

Actually the one that suffer will be Anaq as she got to change server with Warth even if she had been doing well on most servers. I was surprised that he still having the idea that he owned the server and expect other to listen to his stupid suggestion when he doesn't really know much about the game. He had been trying to fake his identity by create new alternate with new guild but the moment he start talking about some stuffs I can easily notice the similarity.

They had always thought they are right and other are always wrong when other disagree with their stupid ideas, I am not sure why he think he is god when he got some stuffs from the Loyalty Rewards while I just give them away to those who need. He seem to be nice to me recently and defend me when Caugs say the Buff Code I give seem suspicious, he also seem to be nice to Avatar after getting some praise from him.

The issue is still about the price of stuffs on the server, he expect other players to sell their stuffs cheap as he had been doing it. But after he realized that he got not much gold and cannot afford most of the fancy stuffs like Loyalty Costume and 5 x Accessory he start to blame other for his own mistake. Most OG Players just ignore the Seven Wonders of Horizon and keep their stuffs for their own use, it end up making those players who really need the stuffs but unable to get.

Recently I give away a lot of pets which I kept with a few of my farming alternate which I didn't really play much, it just that I don't really need that much as I can transfer from toon to toon easily. I just level them and keep it just in case some other players will need it next time. And since there are a lot of Pet XP Events these days, I might as well level more and pass some time.

 

Aphelion:

The same seem to happen on Aphelion as a lot of new players find difficulty getting stuffs they need, I manage to get a few trillions by selling some Class Change as it had become rare and in demand recently. Sales of Skill Book also seem to pick up with a lot of new players keep changing their class, only pet business seem to slow down for a while but those leveling stuffs still sell very well.

As there are not much new players for me to help, my stuffs just keep getting more and more each day. Guess I will just keep them in case one day they decided to shut down official server and a lot of players decided to migrate here. I had always save up enough stuffs for two to three major guild, it seem to be back to old days even after I had give Warth 90% of it.

I am not sure why Warth seem to behave like god while Anaq seem to behave like Jassy, he rather let all the stuffs go to waste after he quit the server and not giving them away. Anaq on the other hand like to help new players and try to give them stuffs even though she keep most of her stuffs with Warth. The same seem to be with god and Jassy only that god seem to help other players once in a while when he is in good mood.

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.

P.S.:

Never see Peanut talk much after a few days, I am guessing either he got warning from the administration or he finally realized that he is the one that should shut up and quit the game instead. But at least it is a good thing for the community as the one that keep making issue is gone, it is more like a Karma thing as you had to consider the consequences before you act.

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.

Another Narcassist:

 

Horizon:

Wake up early for pet leveling and see Peanut trying to bring Avatar down with his sarcastic remarks, but this time there is a good Game Sage there to interfere. Narcissist are a weird breed of people who think very highly of themselves and always try to criticize other without really reflect on themselves first, they always think the whole world revolve around them and blame whatever mishap that happen to them to be other fault.

Actually they didn't realize that most of their unhappiness is due to their own karma, they don't contribute to the community and still dare to demand for things that they don't really deserve. I had been trolling a few of them, but I had it under control so as it will not really cause much emotional damage to them. Voldemort had been one who actually take it well and troll back once in a while to humor other in the process, no many are able to do that and some just doesn't take it well and bear grudge against you and mark you for life.

I guess most of them are unhappy mainly because they have spend a lot of gold just to get good reform on their seals and end up getting stuck with all the Loyalty Rewards stuffs unable to sell even when they lower the price. Their action had been causing a lot of harm to the gaming community and they still have the pride to dishonor other for the consequences of their own action. Pride had bring downfall of many great men.

Aphelion:

There are sign that some players had return from Phoenix server, but again the numbers just doesn't add up. They seem to have lost a lot of players on both side instead of attracting more new players, now Aphelion is only getting about 150 players while Phoenix is down to less than 50 players. How did a server manage to lose 400 players in such a short period of time? It just make me wonder more if the official server had really send some of their people to do serious damage by leading them to make bad decision by making suggestion that seem too good to be true.

I am not sure how they going to restore their former glory, as the rewards they give doesn't seem to work to attract more players these days. They start something similar to the Advert Calendar and even extend the duration from 12 days to 24 days as compare to the official server, not sure if it is going to work as we can only see which side is having a better event in time to come. But overall I feel that they did put an effort to make improvements, it is just that they had been making bad decisions from the lousy suggestion that had been package to look like an attractive mean to fuel their greed to gain more.

They had try to make the game difficult for players to boost their Item Mall sales, and they had been focusing on meaningless anti cheat which is causing more issues than benefit. As a private server, they should not be following the foot step of the official server. They had been doing well in the past by introducing a lot of improvement to the game which I think are the stuffs that they dislike on official server, I really like it a lot as I have the exact same feeling and think that is what the game is suppose to function as it is.

I hope they will realize their mistake soon and start to go back to what they have pursuit in the beginning, only when they dare to be different from others to become a major factor in attracting players to be interested. If they want to continue the destructive path of being similar to other, more players would rather play other servers as they got nothing new to offer and they make it more difficult as compare to other server.

Pet Peeve:

 Horizon:

They had completely stop those below Level 50 to use World Chat, think it is a lousy move to stop the spam bot on Osiris Server but it will greatly affect all players as it will prevent Newbie from getting help. This move is very similar to the previous incident when they try to remove Pet Pick Up to prevent AFK Farming using P2 Pet, it just show how lazy they are to check on the server and prefer a more lay back approach.

Aphelion:

Finally manage to get most of the pets back, as it will be easier for them to give me the Buff Pet Package I don't mind losing out on about 30% of the pets just to gain a Rudolph Pet. The only issues is that I had to level all the pets again and it will take a few days, but the server seem dead with the lack of management with only a few active players so I don't think any Newbie will really need my Newbie Package.

Phoenix:

Speedy heard about my plan to save up on Cash to get the Phoenix Pet, since he got a lot of Cash to spare he gift one to me. I was thinking that I would be able to mount it at Level 50 after Evolution, but I was told they change it to Level 100. I don't think I will live long enough to see my Phoenix Pet become mount, it is like I almost thought I had to marry Lilit at Floriam Cave to continue my legacy.

Manage to win the second round of Hide and Seek, they give out Event Reward Box like what the Official Server do. It had some nice stuffs, but because the Training Game Sage had something important to tend to in real life he only had 1 winners for each round. Not sure if it was the first event host by Game Sage, but it kind of remind me of the Hide and Seek on Official Server where I am the few lucky one to win the prize first. 

Glitch in The Matrix:

Horizon:

Seem like the new map texture is overlay over the old map texture, I was able to see some structure wall under the Drake Nest when my game client start giving problem. Last time we also use to drop below the floor of Merac Jail when we enter, but I am not sure if we would travel back in time if we drop from new map to old map.

They had extended the Anniversary Event for another week, more cake farming for all players. I was surprised that a lot of players didn't know that we are able to save the location of Lust Trum Level 8 on Memory Scroll, I also discover it by chance when I was exploring with my Specialist Fire Wind before the migration.

Now most of the players just follow a linear path in game and keep repeating the same stuff over and over again, they lack the curiosity to explore and discover new stuffs. It is not like the old days where one player bring up a doubt in the forum and the remaining of the players communities will start to try out different type of game play and then provide the communities with vast amount of details information which will benefit all.

Aphelion:

Everything seem to go on as usual, notice a new Training Game Sage named Mine Lyric just join the team. I manage to met him at Four Realms when he accept the Boss Recall when I spawn the Realm Champion, a lot of players, Game Sage and Game Master had done so over the weeks.

He start telling me that I am not allow to use pet to kill mob, I start to raise doubt about it. I explain to him that I am not doing it AFK, I still have to open Easter Egg to prevent my inventory from getting full. I also have to activate my buffs every few minutes, I even have to response to Boss Spawn every once in a while.

Last time we have to answer math question, and most Game Sage and Game Master will initiate a Chat, a Party Request or a Trade Request to see if the player is AFK. The Game is design this way with Pet AI and Boss Spawn, so if it is not allow they should have completely remove it long time back. This show that he does not really understand the game design at all, so I ask him to consult other Game Sage or Game Master before jumping into conclusion.

He seem like he is unable to reason with me, so he decided to spawn a lot of Realm Champion on me. It is not really an issue for me as the Stun is able to be remove by Curse Removal Scroll and I got a lot of it. It will really be an issue for most players if it was Decendor of the Devil or Poseidon as they got Stone which cannot be remove by Curse Removal Scroll.

After watching me manage to kill all the Boss he spawn, he decided to leave me alone.  There are also Care Package at Juno and Merac so I just teleport back to town to get it, a player named Last game also need help locating the Orge Supervisor in Four Realms so I check my note and give him the Co Ordinate.

I kind of lose the mood for farming and decided to switch toon for Immortal Boss, not sure what is the final outcome of his discussion with other Game Sage and Game Master. But I hope they would be fair enough to accept my explanation about the game design and the function of the game mechanics, it is the only thing that make this game unique and enjoyable as compare to other game.
