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!

The Master Card Idea!
I'm sure we are all familiar with the "T3Fun event" where any family lvl 5 can be transferred and will get three master cards.
Getting a family to level 5 is pretty easy actually, just either afk them, or take them to Caebolan and vesp the alt to family lvl 5, so you can transfer it and get those free master cards.
But what is o dandy about these master cards?
Well first off:
1) Takes a character from 0 - Master in each card; could be useful for certain characters you want at master asap, as long as you have a mercenary warrant.
2) People still buy characters, you can buy a gold code with vis, put it on the alt, get all three characters to lvl 3 10% (secret guard of course, will be done in no time) and then mercenary the cards and sell it for more vis.
3) Save the master cards, use them on all three characters on your alt account, and then go and level 4 more characters to veteran, then you have a family lvl 20. The family lvl 20 is needed in order for a clan, that is either Saha or Drona, to level their clan level. As their clan level goes up, their special buff goes up as well.
4) Family level, the more characters / higher they are, the higher your family level, the higher the family level, the better the family level buff!
People might say well "Can we still make G1 accounts?" the answer is yes, I have made a few already myself.
This is just one of those things that you just might be interested in looking into. Getting 5 alt accounts to family lvl 5 and transferring them over to the new server would basically be 15 free masters, that's if you can either buy the gold for each account, or buy 5$ gold codes with vis.
Again, this is just another little idea that I'm sure is pretty obvious and people have thought about, but there are a few out there who just don't bother, but yet fail to see the profitability from it.

Expert Chips / Tokens
In a previous post I talked about investing into some chips, not entirely sure how the prices will be for them. I expect two different type of views from the market. Either we'll have an Orpesia type market where all the prices look reasonable to the Orpesian eye and look low to those not use to Vet chips being 4m. Or, we would have an inflated type economy like Bristia / Illier. Where, for an example, an enchant booster cost 4m, but your able to sell a vet chip for something along the lines as 6m. Prices might look high, but everything should, hopefully, ratio out to some what of the similar ratios as in our current servers.
Anyways, expert chips, I suggest on trying to stock up on a few. I know with the ABC event coming to an end soon and people are trying frantically to try to stock up on this and that, but as the time comes to a close, people should be wrapping up their final tokens. I have said in my previous blog post about investing into HQ Jewels, Vet / 100 chips, lollipops, maybe a few items that we were only able to easily obtain through the event by afking, and etc. Although, there is one investment people should also look at, which is expert chips.
People should be looking at in stocking up on a couple hundred expert chips if they can, more, or less, depending on the individual. We have to start transferring our energy out from 100e / Constellation and push it into Constellation / Evil weapons (UN-trade able weapons, obtainable through doing instances). From what I understand, enchant boosters get a small boost, and then we have those special enchant boosters from the bounty hunters. From what I heard, from personal story's, the bounty hunter enchant boosters are neat, they basically give the ability to get a yellow mod (does not mean it will be high) at a rate of 1/5; I believe they cost 20 expert tokens each.
Keep your expert tokens as well as your vet tokens, the ones you get from bounty hunter, do not spend them anymore and try to keep doing bounty hunter if possible. Not entirely sure if this is completely accurate since I have not done bounty in some time, but I keep hearing that it is bugging out here, there. If I am correct, like before, when bounty gets bugged, you can spam it over n over w/o (without) having to do the previous bounty mission; great opportunity to stock up on a couple of tokens for those special enchant boosters!
As the event is coming to an end, hopefully people are getting that last weapon or character card, and can then invest their letters into stocking up on some HQ's, chips, a few master explorer packs, and maybe even a couple rose wing back costumes :P. If some one is farming for a good amount of time, and maybe even running an extra account, it wouldn't be hard nor long from stocking up on a few of these items.
With expert chips, three letters = 3 expert chips, not a bad deal at all. We have to remember that this type of event is an event to try to fully take advantage of while we have it, we shouldn't always get so wrapped up in the nice, neat, 33 AR weapons. They are nice, yes, but, there are other things to invest in for the future to give you an advantage for your un tradeable evil weapons.
So once again, this is just my advice, even only 100-200 expert chips would do just fine, whichever makes you feel comfortable with the amount you have. Remember, keep your vet tokens and your expert tokens, even the first tokens, I forgot their name. I believe that we will be able to turn vet tokens into expert tokens, kinda like a 3:1 type thing. The reason you want to keep and stock up on your tokens is because of those special type of enchant boosters for, I believe, 20 expert tokens, they can really come in handy for those who have minimal patience for chipping.
*** NOTE *** Make sure you CHECK G1 Forums, this IS the last week where the boxs will drop, HOWEVER, there will be ONE more week so that everyone can turn in their extra letters / tokens ~
