The Stop Clock...

I was thinking of something while in Caebolan CA...and looking at my pass...

I wonder, why do we not have the ability to stop the timer on our passes / wings / anything timed?  I think it would be a lot more, beneficial for the player, if people could stop the time on their passes, when their not using them, and just simply re activate them once their going back to which ever area they were at.

Same with wings.  If I open up a 30 Day Rose wing, and I have to go away for a weekend or go away for a week, I wouldn't mind being able to stop the timer on that period that I wont be using the rose wings for.

I really see no con in this "timer stopper", its not like anyone can use this to forever have an undying pass or rose wings that never run out of time, unless a bug occurred when they implement the idea.

I might just post this idea under the suggestions thread on the T3Fun forums, would be nice if they already looked at our suggestions instead of using that specific area to just make the players feel as though they have a voice :P.

Rest In Peace...

So I was laying in my bed, thinking about some of the most meaningless things, had the TV off...just the normal type attitude I would be in before officially waking up...

Until my mother comes in and tells me about how a man went to an elementary school and shot up a bit of kids.

So I looked a bit more into it, seems 20 kids, between the ages of 5-10 died.  As well as 6 other individuals.

How can a monster, pack a gun and load it with bullets and walk into an elementary school and just lay down fire upon a group of innocent, little, adorable, beautiful souls...

I won't make this post long, cause, not much to say about this event...

All I can do is pray for those who have been affected by this deeply, and pray for those who got killed, especially those innocent children...

I will also pray that the man who did this, the man who forcefully removed twenty souls  from this earth, will burn in the deepest, darkest, most painful level of hell.

I really hope people take the time out of their daily sword lives to acknowledge this event and say a little something in their mind regardless if they believe in a higher being or not.

For any of those people out there who are trolls or wish to try to make this event some...laughable cause...or have zero respect for these children and their family's, then I'll loose all the ounce of respect I ever had for you.

Once again, rest in peace, a pretty...horrific day here in America but also in the world, any human being I know who does not feel sadden about a group of children getting murdered, then I truly question their humane side.

If you have money...

If your one of the few with a nice chunk of change, or has the ability to obtain a reasonable amount of vis before the transfer, buy great stones.

I said this before, and I am not entirely sure if I can stress it enough, but buy great stones in order to stock up on lollipops.

If you have the ability to stock up on more than just 1k pink lollipops, do so.  Think big, think large scale, the amount of money you spend today, you could end up making double that, if not more, far down the road.  Lollipops are something that will be a "timed" investment.  Once we transfer, tons of people will still have thousands of lollipops.  But people will continue to use those lollipops every day.  Especially if the server is divided into two alliances with one pvp alliance; in a lollipop able zone, they'll be spamming pink / red / blue as if it was candy, just to try to over come their opponent on that specific raid; therefore, dimensioning the amount of lollipops in the server and slowly raising the demand - slowly.

People say well "There will be events for lollipops", that is true, yes, but I doubt these events will offer the ability to stock up on thousands of lollipops, probably only a couple hundred if that; as long as there are no bugs in being able to obtain 100% lollipops from these events.

So over time, lollipops will slowly disappear, it might take months, but the price for lollipops will rise.  It is all based on supply and demand; these lollipops are enormously valuable, that's why they were removed in the first place.  IMC created the lollipop and transformed it from a "need" to a "desire".  Lollipops in the end, can be pretty game breaking if you look at it.  It removes the need for speed, and speed is the need for dps, and dps is the need to win those high end raids (if you have the proper racial gear that is). 

Therefore, according from the information that I know of, my best advice is to just continue stocking up on lollipops.  In Orpesia, normal enchants in the market manager are now above 3.5m, yet great stones are still around 5-6m?  Better buy them now before its to late!

Just Kidding

Seems after the maintenance, people were still able to get boxes, which was not suppose to happen.

At first I thought maybe G1 was being nice or was having complications to separating the event itself, but in reality, they just forgot to remove it lmao...

You would think, since last week, after Raiden said that this week would be the last week for boxes to drop from mobs, that maybe, just maybe, the removal of the boxes would be on the top list of things to get rid of during the maintenance.

However, there is some positive side, the madness from this AFKing event is over.  Maybe before the end of G1 and Sword 2, people will try to put in some more ToC squads to crank out those Greek Cromas, or participate in Xworld in order to obtain just a little practice before the transfer.

So, where there is a con, there is always a pro, and this pro out weighs the con.

A good amount of players came back to this game, but eventually, just did exactly what they were doing when they weren't playing, which is to just afk and eventually flow off into the light of interactiveness as before; so really, nothing has changed during the event, actually made activeness and the ability to find random raids even harder.  But I would be lying if I were to say the loot and the rewards were well the effort. 

However, through this event, people were able to obtain goodies, so in the end, it has actually helped those to prepare for the 10.23 patch, as well as to bring back some remaining players for the end of G1, which will really help the opportunity for random raids to occur within the server until the beginning of T3Fun!~

All in all, I give the afking event : 8/10 - an A-!

Farm Farm Farm!

Well, according to Raiden, last week was suppose to be the last week to be able to farm boxes.  Then we would have one more week to turn in those letters into the kiosk (remember to follow my guide about the kiosk for Raiden boxes).

But it seems as though we get just one more week to farm more boxes.

I wonder, if we get one more week to farm boxes, will next week, be the week where we are able to turn in our letters?

Or is this week the last week to farm boxes PLUS to turn in letters?  I think that should be answered so that people do not assume they get an ADDITIONAL week to turn in letters, but come to find out, this week right now, was the last for boxes PLUS turning in all those extra letters into the kiosk.

I wonder why they gave us another week to farm boxes...

Maybe they wanted to remove the kiosk and boxes at the same time and realized they cannot just remove the boxes now and the kiosk next week.  Therefore, since they already told the public we get another week to turn in our letters, maybe they found complications with removing the event into two areas, so just kept it all for one more week, well the boxes that is.

Oh on another note, hopefully you stocked up on those master packs (30 days) because no one can get them no more from the event!

So just farm, farm, farm!!!!

Non-Posted Opinion - Quick Summary

So I am sitting here, 1:07 AM in the morning, I have finals tomorrow near at night, just got out of the shower, and I think to myself "Make a blog post about humanity and the major issues of cyber bullying"...

So I began to write an entire blog post about the internet and the major negative effects that it brings out within humans as well as the effects that other humans end up consuming due to others.

A little bit of my opinion behind it all, I am a man who loves to connect one idea to the next and then take that idea and connect it to something else then take that and etc etc...

For an example, I had an essay for my English class, nothing to fancy by any means, but basically the question was asked: Is intelligence or critical thinking a part of freedom?

My answer was simple: Critical thinking creates the ability to analyze, and through the analytical process, people can then understand, which is called intelligence.  Through understanding, people are able to create their own decisions, which creates their freedom.

Anyways, I started off with the post about feelings, and if, as humans, still feel, regardless of what kinda feelings they might be.  I even went as far as creating a car accident story, and asking my blog followers, how they might have felt about the certain incident.  I then linked it to feelings, which I then linked to the unawareness for others due to a computer screen.  People can say some horrific things over the internet; it indeed hurts me when I hear story's about 13 or 14 year old kids killing themselves due to internet abuse.

I have yet to post this "Lost Blog Entry", maybe if I ever do plan to post it, that just might be its title :P.

So anyways, I guess this is a blog entry for a blog entry that never was or might ever be posted?  I didn't post it because I'm not entirely sure if anyone would actually want to read it.

Although, I did want to share my partial opinion about the subject.

But as I got to thinking, something started to worry me a bit more...

We as people, adapt, and adjust.  For an example, when we had a gold rush boom in the USA over 150 years ago +/-, people moved West.  People moved West to strive to become something, to get rich quick, to have a new life that was different than the East type life style.  Some people threw it all in, and took that risk, and grasped that "opportunity" to jump out of their comfort zone.

That same mentality ended up getting passed from generation to generation, basically being imbedded into Californians DNA, which has and is still making California, the "Golden" state.  It might not be AS much, but, people s till have that same idealistic attitude, just as those people who first set out to go gold mining to California and step out of their comfort zone to take the risk.  I mean, when you think about it, it does make sense.  100s of years ago Asians were very "family orientated"(more so then others) and they still are, cause it got passed through generations n generation n generation, it got passed down so much that it was just becoming part of an individual as they pop out of their mothers whom.

My point is this, as we live our lives, and we allow internet abuse to continue, as we careless for the other person on the other side of the screen, will we get to the point where even if we are face-to-face with some one else, we just will not care about their feelings?  Sound's a bit robotic lol...

I mean if our past generations pretty much shaped our mental attitude about most things, then who says our generation won't shape the futures generation mental mind set, and then the next generations and then the next and then the next etc...

Hell, in 200 years, if things progress with technology and little gadgets, this internet abuse issue might just be the abortion issue in today's terms.

So what is my point?  My point is like any other point that was been pointed lol...just try to understand that the people behind a computer screen is an actual human being.  A human being with feelings, with real issues, real problems and matters that you have no idea about.  Whatever happens through a video game, happens through the video game, same with sits like Facebook, myspace (who uses that anymore?), etc...  There is no reason to take things extreme to the point of making some one commit suicide, and that might sound ridiculous, but it has happened and is happening while you are reading this.

Just something to think about, I know I am.  From that mentality, I am creating more goals for myself to try to be a better individual to others, help others, and to stand up for others.

It's my human duty.

To Japan!

I wanna take a quick blog post and wish anyone in Japan who was just affected by the 7.3 magnitude earthquake, which occurred a few hours ago.

For those who remember, Japan was hit with a devastating earth quake not that long ago, killing thousands of people and putting a nuclear scare to the rest of the world.

So anyone living in Japan or anyone who might get affected by this 7.3 earth quake, I wish you the best and I shall pray for your safety tonight.

Sometimes, or well actually many times, I tend to think about the life of a human.  Imagine remembering as far as you can from your child hood up to now.  Your family, your memory's, your experiences, and your future, all of it can just be taken away from you in a heart beat...

It is indeed a scary matter to think of; although, there is hope, hope that allows us to enlighten ourselves and to someday embrace death as a positive manner.

Anyways, I'd rather not ramble about life n death, for this point in time, this very second, the "happening now" issue, those in Japan, just try to be safe, I wish you the best!
