Volume I --- Your Future Is… Economic Failure?! ~ Endless Empire of Economic Eradication

Volume I --- Your Future Is… Economic Failure?! ~ Endless Empire of Economic Eradication:

Being an economically challenged newb was hard enough; I didn’t really need other players’ criticism. I think I got the picture the first time I was called a “newb,” but apparently society wasn’t satisfied.

The story of the fallen empire known as, Endless-Online, starts in late v26. All prices were normal compared to what they are now. I don’t know if it’s because we’re afraid of change, or if it’s because we just can’t adjust to it, but it really didn’t matter to me. I killed goats, sheep, and occasionally orcs in peace. More people cherished 50g back then than hardly anyone in present day Endless. This foreshadowed crisis.

The Golden Age (Versions 20-26) was soon to come to a screeching halt, as do all successful empires. 99% of the population of Endless-Online were “evicted” the day versions 27 and 28 came out. They were all ignorant and only thought of the “here-and-now,” which was their first and foremost mistake. I personally think the casual class planned they’re take-over just as elaborately as it came.

The bigger Endless-Online got, the dumber we became. As we killed orcs, twin demons, and other monsters (an example), the casual class were the ones that bought the ingredients from us, and were smart enough to use our ingredients to craft a more expensive product and sell it back to us. The brain of Endless-Online is still developing at this moment and no one is sure what’s going to happen next, thus foreshadowing the rise of Endless-Online republicans (casual class). Is our future an Economic Failure?! What major event will eventually push us over the edge?

Volume II --- Thrive In v27 ~ Endless Empire of Economic Eradication

Volume II --- Thrive In v27 ~ Endless Empire of Economic Eradication:

The unexpected was soon to come, yet the citizens of Endless-Online were as ignorant as ever. All they could do was Thrive in v27.

Working as brainlessly as ever, even I was under their control. I wasn’t apart of the casual class at the moment, so I wasn’t in on their “plan.” It seems to me that a more rebellious group of conspirators, whom happened to be apart of the casual class, didn’t want to go along with they’re “Casual Scheme.” Instead, they ever so “generously” (according to them) Eradicate Endless-Online’s Economy.

What was the name of these rebels you ask? How did they Eradicate Endless-Online’s Economy, and manage to end the Golden Age? Well, I like to call them DUPERS, and they ever so “generously” (once again – according to them…) ruined our Economy by dropping extremely large amounts of gold. They did this in hopes of gaining renown and to show everyone they were cheaters and that they could duplicate gold. The more gold there is; the more sellers (casual class) will sell things for, because they realize, “Why sell things for low when I know they have more money?” This is similar to merchanting, but on a much larger scale. The only way to return Endless-Online’s Economy to normal is to junk just under 15 million gold, but no one on this game cares enough to do such a thing. The only alternative way to fix Endless-Online is to roll-back the server to v27, fix the duplicating glitch, and add a better jail (while still in v27). Unfortunately, even the Administrators are unable to do that. It’s up to the citizens to fix this fallen empire. Even today, we await the rise of the Endless-Online democrats. We can no longer thrive in v27.

Volume III --- The Rise of the Casual Class ~ Endless Empire of Economic Eradication

Volume III --- The Rise of the Casual Class ~ Endless Empire of Economic Eradication:

I suffer from the fumes of greed; I am no longer able to control my thoughts. You know what they say, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”

Mid v28, corrupted lives, endless jailing. Is there anyone that can save us? Unfortunately, I have joined their kind. I’m powerful, wealthy, and has acquired social status. I did whatever it took to get to the top. As time passes, it becomes more and more difficult to join my class. I am above all the speeders and cheaters, in fact, I control their actions. I will be there when the Rise of the casual class takes place.

Administrators are working on a way to tame us, and believe it or not, we cannot rule a fallen empire for much longer without curtailing the Endless-Online Apocalypse. I did it to save my reputation, but I destroyed my soul in the process.

Money, fame, and absolute power corrupt all who manage to obtain it.

I betrayed a dear friend in the process of gaining renown. I did it to avenge another friend, but one thing I forgot in the process was: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” This is the very reason my rank is “Betrayed Avenger.” Although, once before, I too, was also betrayed; I still have my reasons for being an “Avenger.”

Money will never stop being an issue no matter how rich I become. So remember, as you sell me your ice cubes for a mere 9k each, I’ll craft them into a more expensive product and sell it to stat whores for 420k each making a huge profit. You’re under my control, point blank.

This version is identical to mid v27; nothing has changed in terms of economic destruction. I believe in the Endless-Online Economic Apocalypse. I’ve lost faith. The Administrators have something big planned for Endless-Online. I’m pretty sure it’s the new jail. This will probably have no effect whatsoever on this crazed hacker-infested world because the newb class will eventually adapt to their customs. They’ll cheat and join the casual class as, “Casual-Rebels,” and they’ll wreak havoc on Endless-Online yet again. This is the devastating result of the Rise of the casual class.

I hope you enjoyed my 7 month Endless-Online journal/story. I started it when I was apart of the newb class advancing to the casual class. Yes, I had an opinion too, until I realized that choosing sides gets you no where in an endlessly engaging fight.

Notice: Next post will be percentages and facts so, if you didn’t like my journal/story it’s ok. Stay tuned.
