The Renovation Factor: (Repost, original post had an "error.")

The Renovation Factor:

Converting from one place to another convinces us to believe that you were uncomfortable in your previous position. If so, is running the solution? Is this why previous and post positions were created for in the first place? To run to?

The main server: a lot of unfortunate things happen to befall most of the citizens here. When angry, they are most likely to harass other players, take out they’re anger by cheating, or just leave to the test server.

Statistics show that every 8 out of 10 people that have left the main server went to test server. The other 2 quit the game. Then, 5 out of the 8 people that left to the test server quit the game after a period of 3-5 months. Is this because the test server is too serene? Or is it just because they grew out of/forced to quit the game? Meanwhile, the other 3 people kept playing and still are as I type this post. If it helps to answer your question, the ages of the people I surveyed were from age 15-17. Good enough?

The reason for my late post is because I took my time gathering information this time. The holidays are coming and I had other things in mind. I focused on school, watched anime, and prepared my stomach for the vast amount of turkey it will consume.

Back to the subject, are you one of the 8 people that would leave the main server after being extremely misfortune? For example, being hacked; would you leave after having this happen to you? According to my results, just about 80% of you would. Do you run from your problems? “The 80% mentioned here are sheer cowards, Karagu.” --- Shinigaeyes; a quote by one of my close friends about this post. To me, your opinion matters and this is the very reason I post some of the things you tell me. I appreciate everything you have to say. I believe this is what makes a successful correspondent whose duty is to decode the complex mind of an Eo citizen to a well-uniform website – completely bias-free.

If you would ever like to become a successful correspondent I suggest you keep this in mind. It’s a vital talent.

The Renovation Factor can be relevant to the innovation of the main server. Like any other innovation, helping the server can also lead to the decline of the main server. The Eo citizens have to be careful of which route they decide to take because whichever they choose surly decides the fate of Endless-online. If they continue to contaminate the main server, and then join the test server it would all end the same (excluding the victims). Trust me, if an apocalyptic event were to happen on the main server, the test server won’t become a revitalization ground because it’d just transform back into a complete replica of the main server.

This is the main reason why you shouldn’t run from change. Take matters into your own hands and try to fix what’s happening. This defeats the purpose of trying to save it in the first place.

For those confused:

- The problem with the main server is that there is too many cheaters/etc. and the community/economy is lacking serene.

- The test server has much of where the serene of the main server has gone. Citizens have realized this and have decided to join the test server for the remaining time it will be serene (golden age – time of greatness, peace, and stillness).

- However, if the citizens join the test server in the main server’s current state. It will end up just like the main server.

Questions:

- Will the main server invoke the golden age as the test server enters the current state of the main server? Is so, what will happen to it? Is this a never ending cycle? Should we ignore it? Are we taking this game too seriously?

- Will the constant onslaught of players entering this game cause both servers to decline? Will this lead to a third server?

- Main question: What will happen to Endless-online? In case something major happens, in order to increase our safety, should we just temporarily quit now?

Keep all of these things in mind as you play this game; if you don’t you’ll just aid to the destruction of this game.

Every human possess the ability to bring about change, whether it’s for good or for bad is up to the human wielding the power to decide. Apparently, on this online game we have too many people using that power for bad. Tainted humans are fated to reside in a tainted world. This is unavoidable, and if you live in this world (which you do) you will suffer as well. Consider others as you perform your rash self-seeking actions.

I’ll include a poll asking whether or not you are one of the approximated 80% converting to the test server. Please vote.

I’ll also add a new Kara-Komic within 3 days of the day I post this post. Pm me in game if you’d like to be apart of it.

Thanks for reading, see you next time!

Edit: The Kara-Komic was postponed due to holiday.

Who's to blame? The creator or the player?

Who’s to blame? The creator or the player?:

Often, the one who inhabits a world doesn’t think it’s their fault the world is on the way to destruction. Some think it’s the creators fault, and others think the one who inhabit it is to blame. Who’s to say that destiny isn’t running its course? The only way to tell is to wait and see.

“It’s all the administrator’s fault for poorly moderating the game.” --- Supporter of the citizens. “It’s all the citizen’s fault for turning the game into what it is now.” --- Supporter of the administrator. I’ve been hearing this a lot lately and I thought I’d take the chance to make a post about it.

First off, Happy Thanksgiving (to all who celebrate it). This is the reason for my late post.

Who is to blame? Or, is there even anyone to blame? Is it our fault, or their fault? Let’s see.

I decided to ask 10 people who’s fault they thought it was. Coincidently 5 of the 10 were on different sides. 5 believed that it was the administrators’ fault and 5 thought it was the citizens’ fault. I know what you’re thinking. What are we blaming people for? Well, we’re blaming people for what the game has turned into, and why it’s embracing the future change it is sure to undergo. It’s safe to say that the Endless-online world is in fact declining. Ask any olbie or casual class member; they’ll all agree. The only person that wouldn’t agree, would be the person that’s financially and socially satisfied. Obviously, that person wouldn’t have experienced a major downfall, like all the people that had Baru when it was 1mill and went down to a mere 300k.

Why the administrators should be blamed (according to a citizen supporter):

- The administrators don’t care about the game, and all they ever do is jail people they have grudges against.
- They never log on and when they do, refer to the above reason. It’s all they ever do.
- They never have events anymore and they allow citizens to create rumors about what’s going to happen. For example: Doctor outfits and nurse outfits are going to be dropped at Christmas. Citizens have started this rumor, and they’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t happen, even though they know it won’t.
- They don’t jail people that actually need to be jailed. Like hackers and scammers.

Why the citizens should be blamed (according to an administrator supporter):

- The citizens only hack, cheat, and scam. Then, they blame the administrators for not jailing them.
- The administrators created the game cheat, hack, and scam-free. It was the citizens that brought this into the Endless-online world.
- The administrators don’t do events anymore because the citizens don’t deserve it! Who rewards someone for cheating, scamming, and hacking?
- It’s impossible for them to decide who hacks and scams unless they encounter that person first-hand.

These are some of the views that were brought up when I spoke to these people. It’s up to you to decide who’s fault it is based on your own ideals. It might not be anyone’s fault at all. It might be destiny that Endless-online is on the road to destruction. Who knows? All we can do is wait and see.

I’ll add a poll asking whether or not you think it’s the citizens’ fault or the administrators’ fault. Be sure to vote. See you next time.

Note: No new Kara-Komic for this post.
