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.

Karma Kama:

 Horizon:

A series of unfortunate incidents, suddenly everybody lost their costume. It create a lot of unhappiness even though it only last for a short period of time, it had cause the lost of trust among players and seem like a lot of them decided to stop buying Fawkes Crystal. Monkey had been trying to buy stuffs from Item Mall for few days without luck, he had raise price from 50M to 60M and still not getting any response.

The launcher also stop working for Windows 7 and 8, they are going to lose a lot of players because of it. I was remove from their Discord Channel again, it had been so for the past 5 months. I decided not to join back as it is just a trick to fake that a lot of new players are joining them but it is in fact all the old players. Since I am still able to get the information on events from Light Bringer Guild Discord Channel, and there are nothing interesting to discuss with other player on their channel. 

They had make some changes on the recent patch, one of the interesting one is the Horse Buff is change from Attack and Defense to Hit Rate and Evasion. That goes to show how much they don't understand about the game, P1 Pet is suppose to be for low level newbie and there is P2 Pet for the Hit Rate and Evasion Buff. Level 10 Buff is still the same duration, but Level 11 Buff is increase to 30 mins and Level 12 Buff is increase to 60 mins.

There had been a trend on most server, players are trying to buy stuffs at half the market price or less and trying to sell stuffs at twice the market price or more. They always broadcast at Trade Channel thinking that they are offering a good deal but end up being ignore by most players, so they are having a very hard time finding the stuffs they need.

If they really need the stuffs they will have to buy it from Trading Agent at a higher price, while Trading Agent is suppose to be cheaper as it allow price comparison. So in the end most players are wasting their time setting up shop in Merchant Mode and end up selling not much stuffs as there are not much gold left on the server.

Had seen Spam Bot few week ago, but even them also think it is not really worth the effort as the server are dead. Now it is only down to the few regular players and the community had shrink to half or a quarter of what it use to be since the migration. At the rate it is going, we might not have another Anniversary Event next year.

Aphelion:

Manage to get 300K of Pre Release Token and the new patch is not ready, hopefully it will be able to trade for better stuffs as compare to the previous event. A lot of new players had joined, and had been helping them since there are not much to do. Most of them doesn't know about Premium Character benefit, Four Realms Quest, Extreme Juno Rune and P2 Pet, I try to help as much as I can and there are a lot of other players who are helpful.

This the Season to be Jolly:

 Horizon:

 Nothing much had happen as there are no event, they even postpone the maintenance for a week just to enjoy the holiday. Music had been spamming the chat claiming that he was ban for no reason, but most player knew that he was using bot. He had been saying some player are duping item, but until now there are no solid evidence to proof it.

Instead of complaining about the game everyday, he could have do a fresh start and get over it. Why just sit there and do nothing about it when you can try to improve on the situation, unless you doesn't really have the knowledge and experience to achieve what you use to have or even better surpass it.

 

Aphelion:

Penkichan had been trying to get Rune of Agility, I give him 10K of Animal Heart, 2K of Maze Token and 10 Extreme Juno Essence which should be enough for two. The next day he was trying to get Shiva Pet, I give him two Collar, 1 Premium Bless and 50 Bless and Curse Book. He should be able to farm a lot of stuffs with the Pet AOE Skill.

 

 Cringee had decided to try it out after seeing my post on Discord. He was having a hard time finding Lilit at Floriam Cave and nobody bother to help him, I switch toon to recall him to the location. I didn't know he was from Horizon as he never really speak much on both In Game or on Discord, after he message me on Discord I met him in Town and give him the same Newbie Package to help him enjoy the game better.

I had help him with the Four Realms Quest and he manage to level to Level 185 in few hours, I give him Godly Weapon, Phoenix Wing, Peacock Wing, 3 Gift of Star, 3 Gift of Nebula, Rune of Fire, Reconstruction and Bravery. All these stuffs will help him in Pet Leveling and Boss Killing, he should be doing fine for the rest of the journey. 

I give him the Christmas Title which I got from Santa Boss and give him 15K Token for the 185 and 200 Title, the Christmas Title is better but only last for 30 Days but the 185 and 200 Title will last forever. I had got the 185 and 200 Title for six of my 185 toon, just need to get more Token for the same Title for another two more. It was mainly because the other Title from the 185 Box also expired after 30 Days, and two other toon is using the Zoo Keeper Title for Pet Leveling.

Christmas Events:

 

 

It is the holidays season, spam bots are very active. I got like 2 to 3 spam bots almost daily, and they are getting smarter. They check the box on Refuse Trade and Refuse Request from the Option to prevent other players from adding them to Party and Recall them to other Location. But they still can be Summon using Summon Book as they did not uncheck the Permit Summon box and can still be added the the Friend List for Private Message. They later became smarter and put their status as offline to prevent us from activating their chat windows.

A Mage name Just Me start to buy Wooden Key from me, seem like now me very well but I am not sure who until now. Could be Zedan from the way he like to teach people stuffs, could me Mother Nature as she is drop hunting on Drake like me. Could also be Jo Beth too as he is always value in game stuffs a lot, could also be Long Shot too as he might finally decide to come back to this server.

Long Shot had not been log on for days, guess the losing of Castle Ownership really did a big blow to him. But there is another Moon Knight I met which behave very much like him, hopefully he really decide to stay at this server for good. Moon Knight also had a lot of toon, he also seem to know Colombo mimi very well. So Just Me could be Blood Mage too as he keep saying I had been very good to him or her, but there is also a possibilities of so many other players including Game Master Ingwulf or lcusinfo weebly site Eiv or Sarong as i recently give her a lot of Tool Aid for the Pet Food she sell Murph.

A lot of new players appear out of nowhere, I had help a player name Purple Shadow when she need to get Skill Point for her Merchant Profession. I lend her the Level 55 to 57 +15 Set from Mercury Venus and give her a lot of potions and golds which she will need. She later decided to return the unused potions and even give me more gold to make up for the kind gesture, but later only see her in Merchant Mode for few days selling some stuffs and then disappear for good like what Blood Mage did before.

Zedan ask me to let Char418 join my Guild, he told me it is a Newbie and need someone who is always on to help. But the way this Newbie behave is really unpredictable, he always log on when I am Away From Keyboard and log off after I am back on. He only manage to Level Up from Level 7 to Level 15 and then never see him appear again. I check on the internet and found that his In Game Name actually mean I Am A Tea Pot, so most likely he should be from Europe as America drink Coffee more.

 

 Had been drop hunting on Pictorial Book stuffs, was surprise that Harpy only took me few hours as compare to few weeks for other mobs. I am now doing Dark Goddess with Hydro Static at Level 25 and will be doing Treant, Sand Golem and Salamander with Old Alpha Light after I complete the Dark Goddess. Still got Goblin Scout and Poison Myst to go for Old Hydro Dynamic, then will go back to do Dungeon again as don't really need so many Wooden Key if they already cancel the World Cup Festival.

Still no news for Advent Laca Ball yet, and the Christmas Event should be running for the Whole Month as there are not Maintenance done on Thursday. Now a lot of players are worried about the server shut down instead of server merge, but the game had been running for so long so better enjoy it while it last.

The coming Christmas Events are as follows:

17th Dec 200% Drop Rate

18th Dec 200% XP and SP

23rd Dec 200% Upgrade

24th Dec 300% Pet XP

25th Dec 500% Jewel

26th Dec 350% Jewel

27th Dec 250% Drop Rate

28th Dec 250% Upgrade

29th Dec 400% Jewel

30th Dec 300% Pet XP

31 Dec 300% Drop Rate

Speedy Gonzales:

 

 A lot of happening recently, mainly due to the holiday season I think. A young player name Vinai add me to her friend list, mainly because she is curious about the Bad Boy song which put on Channel Chat. She say her father always like to sing it, so she is guessing I should belong to the same age group.

She break her Witch Staff during the Upgrade Event, she took the risk of 80% Success Rate. She is considering buying the Reset Card from Item Mall just to change the Class to Wizard because she only got Weapon for Wizard. I feel that it is a bit too extreme as it will be easier to just find a Weapon for Witch, so I ask her to wait while I try to get help from some of my friends.

I was unable to find Long Shot on the other server, so I try to get Colombo mimi to help. But I am not sure why she didn't approach Colombo mimi for help but decided to make a new Healer instead. Guess she decided to just use her Witch as Alternate for Haste Buff, and her Healer should be using for Cleric Holy Bless later too.

What worry me most is that she wanted to complete her Skill Point Farming fast and also Level Up Fast, she manage to complete her Skill Point Farming in just 2 days and Level Up to Level 120 in just 3 days. She had been staying awake and addicted to the game without any sleep, this will affect her health condition a lot. I had help her with getting her Merchant Profession with the Certificate of Guardianship which I got from Moonstone, I also give it to The God Slayer as he also need it for his Merchant Profession.

To my surprise The God Slayer is actually Blood mage which I had help long time back during the first Fall Event, I am glad that he did not really quit the game. But his style of playing is weird to me as usual as he still want to Level Up fast, he still doesn't want to get the benefit of the Guardian System and join Guild for Experience Lock and do Skill Point Farming.

What even puzzle me more is that he doesn't even bother to upgrade his gear and prefer to use +4 gears he got from Elite Monsters drop. But the good thing is he finally start to explore about Jewel and focus more on his Skills, he also mange to Level Up fast and became higher than the Old Apollo Mars in just a few days. He refuse to do Extreme Cube to get the Buffs and also refuse to get Windy Buff from other players, so although both he and Cleri is similar in some ways but they are also totally different in two extreme opposite ways.

Spam Bot seem to be very active these days, I manage to find the previous Spam Bot still at Till the last Treant when I Recall another Spam Bot to the same location. So they kind of spamming each other and also keeping each other company at the same time. Kind of funny to see that, but still had to thank TuckerT for discovering the method 12 years ago. Now it had become a tradition for me to do Operation Tele Tubbies in memory of an old friend.

Game Master did a Pet Hide and Seek Event, I manage to be the second one to find his pet. It is a location which I use to like when I need some quiet time, it use to be a Drake location but had become a Dimension Gate after the Map Update. Manage to win a Goalden Ticket from the event, I try to give it away but nobody actually want it.

As I am not staying in America or Europe, I didn't think they will send the prize overseas even if I manage to win it. As I had already had a lot of Keyboard and Mouse, it will be better to give to those who really need it. Krystael Dagger assure me that the prize will be send to any countries as the event is open to all, so I just had to stay up late for the 2nd December Twitch Live Stream again for the Lucky Draw.

Since I already had a Goalden Ticket, I thought I might as well participate in the Screen Shot Contest. I also participate in the Take a Hike Day and Shuffle Event, think I mange to win 2 Grade 8 Heaven Stone from the Shuffle Event as only Sly and me actually participate in it. I think Sly mange to figure out the second location after he saw my post for the Screen Shot Event, I also manage to figure out the fifth location after I saw his post for the Shuffle Event.

If I really did win the 2 Grade 8 Heaven Stone, I will give it to Sly as I got not much use for it. I had been giving all my Item Drop Booster to Mother Nature as she told me she need it, this is also a way to thank her for all the Windy Buff she gave which help in my drop farming. Now I just had to find out what Elvis need to return the favor of his Windy Buff, but that will be a bit difficult as he seem to had everything he need.

After the Mooncake Event, the 16th Anniversary Event start. What surprise me is that the Mooncake Event never actually end and is running together with the 16th Anniversary Event together. We had to collect Sugar, Flour, Egg and Cocoa, 25 of any Ingredient Type will be able to get Candle which give 100 Skill Cool Down and 40% Attack Speed for 2 Minutes.  5 of each Ingredient Type and 1000 Golds will get Chocolate Cake which give 50% Experience and Skill Point for 5 Minutes.

Guess Candle are much better than Chocolate Cake as Chocolate Cake is just the same as Stripe during the 4th of July Event. I think both the Mooncake and Anniversary Event are better than the Fall Event as Mooncake is selling from 25M to 50M and I think Candle will be selling at 100M to 150M. I can get about 100 Mooncake per day and 50 Candle per day, so I will be able to make around 2.5B per day and 5B per day just by selling Mooncake and Candle. Fall Event only get about 1B per day with Boosters while Insect Collection Event get about 3B per day with Chaos Smelting Stone.

Long Shot is worry about the Server Merge again, this time there are some players who also heard about it too. He is going to lose some of his toons again, and he is not happy about that. He also told me that got one Level 178 Sorcerer is going to challenge the Merac Castle Siege, so we might lose the Castle Ownership next week. Actually I don't really bother about it that much as there is nothing we can do about it, but he seem to be too much involve in the game and see it as a competition. I hope he and the others will be able to enjoy the game like me as a casual past time, it is just a game after all.

Another Newbie:

 
Met another Newbie named Bloodmage while farming for Boosters at Burbank Farm, I had become a Newbie Magnet. She doesn't want to join guild for Experience Lock, doesn't want to get a Guardian. She doesn't want to do Skill Point Farming, just want to Level Up fast.

I already advise her against that but she still insist on doing it, guess it will be another test for me then. I show her all the basic she need to know, even how to harvest for pet food. She didn't have enough gold to buy stuffs, so I give her 1M to buy the knife and hammer and even give her 20 Tool Aid and a Drake Egg.

She told me she turn herself into a Jaguar and don't know how to turn back, I told her just click on the blinking icon on the right will do. She log off about a few hours later and never appear again, I hope I will see her again on weekend.

Light Of The World decided to become a Spam Bot after his class change at Level 31, he is not even interested to do anything other than preaching his gospel. He told me he got about 50M and if he spend 10K spamming per day he will be able to do it for 5000 days which is about 13 years.

He is very proud to become a Royal Knight, he thought Royalty is relate to his God. I told him that King Solomon create the Templar Knight to protect the Ark, so he got the facts all wrong.

He also told me he had apply to become a Game Master, imagine him using the Announcement System to preach his gospel a lot of players will go crazy and quit. I ask the Light Bringer friends to invite him for Extreme Cube so that it will reduce his spamming to about 50 days.

Discover a few things while helping newbie, so all the effort didn't really come to waste. Light Of The World start to spend money on Item Mall buying useless Wedding Costume and Custom Title, the Costume will only last a month and the Title only last a week. At least the title will give some boost, but he just want to look presentable for his gospel preaching.

Fall Event extend for another week, I will be able to farm more Boosters to sell. If I farm 100 Boosters per day and sell them at 10M each I should be able to recover the 12B which I spend on Advance Grade Reformer during the Game Master Buff Event, but I will still have to spend another 6B for the upgrade stone to upgrade the Erebus Set.

Maybe high level is not really my cup of tea, had to spend a lot to get the gears and stuffs you need. Erebus also did not drop upgrade stone as expected, and gears are really hard to sell in Merchant Mode. Guess I will stick to low level and farm consumable stuffs which is easier to sell. After all these are what I enjoy most about the game.

Discover that Apollo Mars is able to trade some of the untradable stuffs after getting the Merchant Profession. Guess I can start selling the Power and Berserker Potion as they seem overrated to me. The remaining one should be able to get 4B or so, at least I wouldn't be broke after buying upgrade stone.

Independence Day Event:

Got Stars and Stripes from monsters drop, also start collection of Fire of Merac. Stars are like Small Defense Potion although it doesn't really boost the attack much, Stripes are exactly like Effort Scroll. Stars should be able to sell for 500K to 1M and Stripe should be able to sell for 2M to 3M.

 Achievement Unlock:

Manage to become a Billionaire within a month, basically by selling popular stuffs at a cheaper price. Finally found out that most high level players are buying Magical Minerals for the Keron Mage Collective Affinity System in Merac, I was told that each of them are worth 3 millions not matter what level they are.

I did a search at the Wiki Website and found that even the Magical Accessory also getting more points than the minerals, the rewards also not that impressive to me as I can easily gain the Affinity Points by killing monsters when I lock my level at 53 for Grand Red Dragon Hunting.

There are bot spamming gold selling website at the server, I try adding it to party but unable to find the Party Recall Function. So the Operation Teletubbies could not be carry out like last time. Have to figure out another way to deal with it.

 Reduce Drop Rate:

Finally got another Crest of Rainbow from Grand Balrog at 111th Kill, I am starting to doubt that it is not going to drop anymore Rare Accessory. That is about 32 kills away from the previous drop, I was lucky that it drop the accessory that I wanted.

I was wondering if I had forgot to pick up any Rare Accessory in between, but I am certain that I always double check that everything are been pick up before I left.

 Another Deja Vu:

Got another Desire of the Sacred Tree Accessory from Wooden Treasure Chest, since I am not willing to sell it for 1 gold to the NPC I decided to equip it. Maybe at the later part of the game I might decide to sell it to NPC to free up my inventory space, but that will be when I got more than three of it.

The Robust Necklace of Knight still able to be transfer to other character in the same account by Store Keeper Bianca, so it should not be an issue. Now I am not sure how I am going to use the amount of gold I had accumulate, most of the stuffs are price at too high for my interest.

Last time there are so many players in Merchant Mode, I can usually find 1 or 2 rare deal per day. Now most of the players in Merchant Mode are regular and I already know what they are selling before I even see it.

 Show Me the Money:

Got another billion in just 3 days, this server really got a lot of rich players. I got more stuffs at the other server, but it is not selling well even after I reduce it to a lower price.
