All Living Things Die:

All Living Things Die:

The ultimate gift is life, and the ultimate price is death. Some people may see it another way, but in the end it all boils down to the statement above.

I’ve finally come back from my several week vacation to Hawaii. When I came back, I had realized something—“Why push myself to blog/post/inform about a game that is too far from life, and too close to death?” I had arrived at the conclusion that I will give up Endless-online for my 18^th birthday. In approximately three months (or earlier), I’ll stop logging onto Endless-online. (Yes, I’ll be keeping everything I own so do not ask.)

For now, I’m going to retire Endless Economy and Gossip©. Once again, all living things die, and this blog once lived. So did Endless-online at one point.

Some major disappointments that contributed to my quitting this game are listed below:

- Unstoppable spammer d/cers.

- Lack of purpose.

- Lack of moderation/administrational visits.

- Dull game play.

- Unbelievably easy to hack, scam, and cheat.

With something as pointless as Endless-online, I think I’ll choose to walk away.

Huge disappointment:

As you have probably noticed, some of the other major Eo blogs have already “slowed” and the owners of some of them have even quit. Can you really blame them?

If Endless Economy and Gossip© was your main source for economic, social, and other Endless-online related issues I’d like to apologize. I’ll refer you to endlessreport.blogspot.com for the social/etc. issues and I really don’t know what to tell you about pricing news because global is now unreliable and so are the banks (thanks to the spammer d/cers).

How I predict Endless-online will die:

With this issue at hand Endless-online will most likely fall due to major problems in the economy which will probably cause mass amounts of players to quit at one time. Then, seeing as the game is empty, more players would come back and another “apocalyptic-event” would probably occur. Something like “Massive amounts of players hacked” as an Endless-online newspaper headline. Either way, I don’t want to be apart of it so I’m quitting now.

When I really think about it, I can’t deny the fact that I actually had fun. This was bound to happen sooner or later so I’m not going to fight what was destined to happen.

There won’t be a next time.

Hey, in case you're wondering Kara's on vacation. Don't forget about him he'll be back soon.

Until next time.

Sympathy; Intolerance:

Sympathy; Intolerance:

Sympathy:

Freedom is not freedom if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

Just as it says.

Hackers, we’re doing exactly what they want; making posts about them. Complaining, arguing, hating… and even doing the same as they do. Yes, I’m talking about the spammer d/cers. Look, admit it, no matter how “unforgiving” it was; you know you’ve made a mistake before. Whether it has been in real life or on Endless-online. As mentioned in the post before this one: We are all human, and sometimes, that’s all we have to keep in the back of our minds to keep us sane.

Unfortunately for some of us, we have no choice, but to have sympathy for them. As foolish as it seems, watching others make mistakes can be beneficial to you, yourself. Just watch… don’t learn, because you’ve already learned. That’s why you’re watching them yourself.

If this sounds confusing, or is even making you frustrated; don’t worry. It’s doing the same to me as I type it.

Just remember, just remember, just remember it isn’t hard. It’s actually fairly simple.

Be sympathetic.

It makes Endless-online a better place.

----------------------Sympathy Above Line---------------------------------

Intolerance:

The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.

On the other hand…

It’s their fault. They’re making Endless-online a more difficult place.

They’re hacking accounts and piercing sophisticated firewalls.

They’re calling you a newb, then running away at 256 mph.

They’re causing you to disconnect at the click of a mouse.

They’re killing you as soon as you enter Pk.

They’re…

They’re…

They’re…

???

Who cares anymore. Screw them, I’ve had enough. They’re ruining the economy.

Relevance:

D/cing mass amounts of players in widespread economic areas.

That’s how.

I’ll hack them back. I’ll pk ‘em too, I’ll run at 256 mph shouting “newb” at the top of my lungs. Who gives a !@#$.

Screw Vult-w/e that letter was… He doesn’t care, so neither do I.

I want v14 back! –Sniffle-

Be intolerant.

It makes Endless-online the place you want it to be, in your own mind.

---------------------Intolerance Above Line---------------------------

Well, what’re you waiting for? These are separate appeals identical to a citizen of whichever stature was mentioned; sympathetic or intolerant. Now, look to the right… almost there…Yeah, right there. See that poll? Click on either sympathetic or intolerant. It conveys you’re expression towards all of the evil that resides in the MMORPG known as Endless-online.

For those wondering…It’s my style.

Endless Economy and Gossip – Karagu Iishyma

The Truth Behind Hacking:

The Truth Behind Hacking:

If wishes were horses beggars might ride.

When beggars get the opportunity, they’ll take it.

In relation to Endless-online, whenever someone gets the opportunity to make an extra bit of gold, they’ll definitely take it. In this case, whenever someone gets the chance to “STEAL YOUR ACCOUNT” it is going to happen.

Me? Yeah, I’m human. Human first, Eo citizen second. This is the mind set of a human being. Truthfully, if you’re reading this; you’re a human. Now, below, I’ll state THE TRUTH BEHIND HACKING.

Ok, many people often tell their friends that they got hacked. Here, is their first mistake.

Consider this:

- If they got hacked, how are they on their account, when it supposedly got hacked, and as we all know, a smart hacker CHANGES THE PASSWORD OF THE ACCOUNT HE/SHE HACKED SO THAT IT WILL BE EASIER TO TAKE THE ITEMS, AND SELL THE ACCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL CASH.

If you have come across someone, a “friend” in this case, who has gotten hacked, tell them, “If wishes were horses beggars might ride.” Hopefully, they’ll understand.

If you still don’t get it, basically, I’m trying to keep you from getting scammed out of your items. It’s obviously a lie that your “friend” is telling you, and you shouldn’t be tricked into “helping” your “friend” by giving him/her an extra item or two to get back on their feet.

No one is your friend; everyone is out to get you.

Don’t believe me? What you have is “too special” to be traded for an extra scav or two? Think again…think again.

---Karagu Iishyma

The truth

Note: Since what I had planned for Kara-Komic 7 has come to a screeching halt, I’ll have to create a totally different comic. This one will be about someone who let their “friend” know the password to their account. Also, I’ll include a poll asking if you’ve ever been hacked, and another poll asking if you’ve ever hacked someone. See you next time.

The poor get rich, and the rich get richer:

The poor get rich, and the rich get richer:

Where our desires are met without content; tis safer to be that which we destroy than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.

If you are fortunate enough to acquire a gift from someone, and is still unhappy, it’s safer to be this way, than to get what you really wanted by destroying anything in your path that prevents your “happiness.”

In this quote’s translation, the gift is profit from confusion in the economy, and regardless; the part that discusses destroying anything in your path is what the casual class does to the economy in this confusion.

“Omg,” still confused? Ok, every new version, there’s HUGE confusion in the economy. This is how the prices of items are created. In this confusion, it is very much possible to make over 3 million gold in 8 hours. From the evil art of merchanting, anything seems to be possible if given the right circumstances. Sure, this may be the best known method for making Endless-online gold, but is it really ethical?

Think about it, you’re practically “stealing” from the fellow Eo citizen you bought/sold that item to. They were unaware of what was going on. Instead of keeping this in mind, the average Eo player would probably just say, with much confidence in mind, “Like taking candy from a baby.” As cliché as that sounds, you know it’s true, you know this is exactly what you think/say when you walk/scroll out of that bank 100k gold richer.

On the other hand, is this classified under the “logical appeal?” Is it just another matter of survival? “Eat or be eaten,” as the average e-caveman would say? Well, in order to answer this question, we must first distinguish whether we are e-cavemen, or Eo citizens. The logical appeal would be to just “scam/merchant/w/e you call it” and walk away happily. Where is karma in all of this? The ethical appeal is mentioned in the paragraph above this one, so take a look there if you’re unsure about what it is. This appeal would be the one to side with if you think of yourself as an Eo citizen and not an e-caveman. So, ask yourself aloud, “Am I an Eo citizen, or an e-caveman.” Or, if you don’t want to scare anyone that might be in the same room with you at this moment in time, you could just vote on the poll I’ll include with this post. “Are you an Eo citizen, or an e-caveman?”

Vote now.

For those confused:

- E-caveman = Someone that does something for their own benefit. “Eat or be eaten.”

- Eo citizen = Someone that does something with other people’s wishes in mind; the “ideal” Endless-online player.

Edit: I’m adding the finishing touches to Kara-Komic 7, will be added to the site on 12/14/07.

Hope:

Hope:

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

- “The Admins don’t care.”

- “It’s all your fault.”

- “I blame you.”

- “Get out of my way newb.”

- “Get a life!”

Heard anyone of these terms recently? If you have, then you MUST be playing Endless-online. What’s that? Huh? You are? Lucky guess I suppose.

As much as you want to, “throw your keyboard out of the window,” or “bang your head on the computer screen,” we all have to remember. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Sure, there’s been a “butt-load” of complaining going around these days, but it’s all for a reason. We’re making our issue known. We’re giving the problem a name.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Ok, if you “fight fire with fire,” then you’re only going to lose an eye (lol). If some guy gets mad at you because you (or he/she in some cases) does something wrong; don’t get into a full-on argument. Swallow your pride, and do whatever it takes to resolve the issue. Believe it or not; every small fight that we get into on this online-game contributes to the overall problem. We can’t expect to get anywhere just bickering with each other all the time. “Be the bigger ‘man,’ accept defeat, and move on (even if you can swear that your way, is the right way)."

I was trying to make another Kara-Komic in what seemed to be a desolate area, when I looked at the chat, I saw two people arguing. It was a rather “dumb” argument that went a bit like this.

Person 1: “Move, newb I’m trying to train.”

Person 2: “Stfu loser, I was here first.”

Person 1: “I don’t see your name on it nub.”

Person 2: “I own this area go !@#$ yourself.”

Ok, dumb right? This sounds like two e-cavemen arguing over territory. Sad eh? This is probably what you sound like in most of your arguments too, no matter how many big words you use.

As the main problem begins to unfold, everyone seems to be guilty. Me, you, the game-makers…everyone. As much as you’d like to; don’t point the finger and don’t throw fire, or you could “accidently” put someone’s eye out. It’ll just end up in you losing an eye as well.

Note: Kara-Komic 7 almost done, be patient please. I’ll also add a new poll determining whether or not you think there’s still hope for Endless-online. Be sure to vote.

See you next time.

---Karagu

For those confused:

Basically, this post is just explaining how every little issue we encounter contributes (adds to) the larger overall problem. Whether it’s economic problems or social problems; it all affects us in the same way. “Make love, not war.” --- JET

Edit: To Eggiesamiri,

I’m not going to be on as much as I was on the weekdays. Things are starting to get a bit complicated (I-R-L) and I have to attend to these issues. However, I will still be online on the weekends so don’t worry. Love you, and I’ll see you soon.

Run While You Can:

Run While You Can:

They always say, “Running is not an option,” but in the case of Endless-online…

Endless-online has been full of drama, stress, and violence, and it’s only getting worse. Many citizens are being pushed to their limits due to the idiotic actions of the spammer d/cers. Everyone is “on-end.”

If you ask me, I think we all need a nice long break to clear our heads, and give the Administrators a chance to fix the spamming problems, if they can.

Below, I’ll post some “Kara-approved” MMORPGs that you could start playing if you decide to temporarily leave Endless-online.

Kara-approved games:

http://play-free-online-game.co.uk/games/MMORPG.htm

(Follow the link, it should take you to a well organized-alphabetized list of fun and free MMORPGs)

I got together with a few Eo players and discussed the status this game is currently in. We’ve concluded that too many people are messing with the game’s “internal-components” and these “hackers” aren’t taking the game seriously. This is a huge problem and if it keeps up, someone is definitely going to get hurt. In order to avoid further pain, I suggest taking a break, but that’s just me.

Go out and do whatever feels right, in the end, it’ll all end the same way.

Note: I’ll include a poll asking if you think taking a break from Endless-online is a good thing or not. Be sure to vote.

ALSO! I, Karagu, am now married to the most amazing girl on Endless-online; Eggiesamiri. I love her with all of my heart, wish us luck. <3

See you next time.

Prices: As of 12/7/07

Let me make a few things clear. I am not modifying the Eo prices to my liking. I only post the current prices as of the day/week I posted them. They are an estimate, so don’t pm me when you get on this site and see my prices 2 weeks after I have already posted them, because chances are, they won’t be the same. Also, don’t ask me to try to lower the prices; I’m unable to fix the economy of Eo because it isn’t a one-man job. I’m not a savior, I’m a messenger.

As of 12/7/07:

Baru – 300k-500k (?)

Lens – 80k-120k

Baruta – 100k-200k

X bow – 50k-60k

Bow – 20k-25k

Draco – 40k-50k

Dracota – 20k-30k

Saw Sword – 150k-200k

Frost Arrows – 175k-220k

Fire Arrows – 300k-320k

Twin Blades – 50k-60k

New Male Hero Plate – 20k-30k

Female Hero Plate – 10k-15k

Oron/Orona – 150k-200k

Pwep – 200k-300k

Female DE – 100k-150k

Male DE – 20k-30k

Knob Staff – 600k-800k

Fladdy – 100k-200k

Scav bow – 600k-800k

Analysis of prices:

As usual, everything is falling. This usually foreshadows the coming of something unexpected. According to these prices, it seems as if everything will continue to go down, however; we can never be sure if there will be an unforeseen turn in the cost of things. If this did happen, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Valuables:

Last time I checked these were the prices.

Orc skull – 400k-500k

Blue star – 400k-500k

Admin scroll (different varieties range from) – 300k-5m

Attempted inflated item(s) of the week:

- All valuables are attempting to rise in price, but apparently aren’t succeeding.

Advice:

Since it seems that everything is decreasing in price, I suggest selling any rare item that you have and buying it back in 2 weeks. Hopefully the prices will fall again and you’ll be a few thousand more gold richer.

Note: Don’t forget to check out my forums! Also, I only post the prices of items that are useful to the casual class; in other words, high-quality items that have an impact on the economy based on their prices.

---Karagu

Edit: Maintenance is being done on Kara-Komic 7. Will be finished soon.

Climbing the Economic/Social Ladder; Kara-style:

Climbing the Economic/Social Ladder; Kara-style:

I’ve finally decided to share my methods with the rest of you. Below, I’ll teach you how to achieve the casual social status. I’ll include: examples, proof, and step-by-step processes on how to get where you want to be, Kara-style.

If you’ve read the vast majority of posts on this website, you should be familiar with economic/social classes on Eo. Achieving these social classes might require you to perform some unforgiving, tedious, and necessary tasks. Keep this saying in mind, “It ain’t easy gettin’ to the top.”

The three steps to casual social status; Kara-style:

Friends = Power:

“Birds of feather flock together.”

Make a lot of friends. No matter what happens, you HAVE to make yourself known. There are benefits to being known. In some cases you’ll get a sense of respect from other players and the economy itself. Do not forget, respect = power. If you take the time to befriend enough upper-class players it will definitely help you get where you’re trying to be. “Birds of feather flock together.”

Dedication:

“Patience is a virtue.” / “Good things come to those who wait.”

It’s safe to say that you won’t get famous over night. It takes time, and effort. You have to stick to your goal and never, ever give up. Many things are going to happen along the way. You’ll get scammed, cheated, and lied to. This has driven hundreds of players to quit this game. Don’t be one of them. “Good things come to those who wait.”

Opportunities:

“A penny saved, is a penny earned.”

You will have tens upon hundreds of chances to get rich. Most likely, none of these opportunities will make you instantly rich. Sure, you’ve heard of many people “winning events” or “finding ‘Scav bows’ on the ground.” 99% of the time, these people are making up a lie to cover up the fact that they hacked and/or stole that money. Don’t believe everything you hear/see, and don’t be wasteful with your cash. “A penny saved, is a penny earned.”

These are the 3 rules/quotes/whatever you want to call them that got me to where I am today. I may not be rich compared to another player, but I am of the casual class, and I do have a say on what happens in the economy. This social status represents power, and you have to be prepared to do some amazing things to achieve this power. All I can say is that it’s worth it.

Keep in mind, I am not suggesting that you abuse Endless-online so much that you neglect your real life in the process. That’s just ridiculous and you should never consider doing something as foolish as that to yourself. Sometimes, you should just give the game a break, no matter how close you are to leveling (inside joke).

Below, I’ll include a list of rumored (hence, the word gossip, in the title of my website) events that happened when a human abused an MMORPG.

(Forgot which site I got this from, and no I didn’t make these up. Here it is anyway.)

Over the last few years, there’s been an amazing run of deaths and psychotic episodes directly related to gaming, be it from marathon sessions or from people becoming way too involved in their virtual lives. A few examples are shown below:

Date unknown - a South Korean grammar scholar killed his brother with a hammer for interrupting his game.
Date unknown - a 21-year old American college student played EverQuest for 36 hours straight, before having a psychotic break and hallucinating that the characters had stepped out of the screen and were chasing him.
November 2001 - a 21-year old American man shot himself on Thanksgiving morning, and his family blames his addiction to EverQuest, which he was still playing just minutes before killing himself.
May 2002 - a 17-year old Hong Kong gaming center employee died after playing Diablo II all night.
Jan 2003 - a 28-year old Hong Kong gamer died at his screen in an internet cafe, after playing Diablo II all night.
March 2004 - a 31-year old Chinese man died at his screen in an internet cafe, after a 20-hour Saga marathon.
Dec 2004 - a 13-year old Chinese boy jumped from the roof of his 24-story building. His suicide note claims that he has gone to join the heroes of his favorite game, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
June 2005 - a chinese gamer was sentenced to life in prison after stabbing a fellow gamer to death. The victim had borrowed a sword from the gamer in the online game Legend of Mir 3, and had then sold it.
August 2005 - a 28-year old South Korean man collapsed after playing Starcraft for 50 hours straight, and died shortly after being taken to hospital.

Well, there you go. Now you have some very descriptive reasons of why you shouldn’t abuse games (no matter what type they may be).

Also, I took the time to ask a few players around Eo if they thought they abused the game. Here’s the results and what two of them said.

19 out of the 20 said yes. (95%)

1 out of the 20 said no. (5%)

One of the 95% said, “In all honesty, I do think I abuse Endless-online. I play this game way too much and I think I’d probably even cry if my account got hacked. I take out my anger and frustration out on this game. Without it, I don’t know what I’d do.”

The 5% said, “Nah, I don’t take this game seriously at all. It means nothing to me. I just have a lot of leisure time, that’s all.”

There you have it; straight from the horse’s mouth.

Note: I’ll include a new Kara-Komic soon. It’ll be a funny three-strip-comic about someone that has abused Endless-online (in case you have forgotten, the Kara-Komics are at the bottom of my site). I’ll also include a poll with this post asking whether or not you think you abuse Endless-online. Don’t forget to vote. My next post will be an update on the prices so stay tuned.

See you soon.

Unfaithful:

Unfaithful:

Ok, I’m really tired of having people come to me saying, “I have Trojans and Keyloggers because I tried to cheat on Eo! What should I do?!” I’m going to post a list of unfaithful sites that are placed on the internet to hurt/hack you.

Note: You should never go to sites featuring any of the following names. Do not click on these links because you think they are links leading to information on how to speed/cheat on Eo. If you click on any one of these links there is a 100% chance that you will get a virus.

Sustained Suffering:

Sustained Suffering:

It is not only the victim that suffers most, but those who are least involved as well. We have to keep this in mind as we destroy this world with our thoughts/actions of evil intent. Destruction is inevitable.

Already, you were able to state your opinion on whose fault it was/will be for the destruction of Endless-online. Whoever you voted for is responsible for your suffering in your own mind. This goes for any person with an opinion that takes the time to make it known.

Now that we’ve established whose fault it may be (in your own opinion) it’s time to determine who suffers most (in terms of social class.)

Recap/overview of classes (again):

Newb class:

Mainly people below the level of 15; must have achieved certain amount of wealth.

Statwhore class:

Often wearing stat enhancing items. Often level 15+. They support the economy almost as much as the casual class by buying mainly expensive and rare items.

Casual class:

The main class in charge of the economy. They control whether it is flourishing or diminishing. Often not as high a level as the statwhore class. They are extremely rich, and display they’re social status with their equipment.

Olbie class:

Basically the ancestors of Eo. They lay the foundation of what Eo is today and many of them have titles. Eventually if we keep playing Eo, we’ll be like these players. They’re also on the verge of quitting.

Now, I’ll give common reasons why most people consider the following classes to be responsible for their suffering.

Why the newb class might be suffering the most:

They are similar to a small child in terms of intelligence on Eo. Whatever they see is the state of mind they will assume toward other players on Eo. For instance, if someone speeds past a newb at 256 mph (lol) they’ll definitely say, “cool” and attempt to do it themselves NOT KNOWING it’s against the rules. Sad isn’t it? This is why the newb class could be suffering the most.

Why the statwhore class might be suffering the most:

The only intent the statwhore class on Eo has is to train, IN PEACE. They don’t want any spam/dc crap to ruin they’re routine. If they aren’t able to train in peace, most likely, they won’t train at all and this means we’ll have less-powerful people on Eo, and we can rely on seeing a decrease in ultra-rare items that take a strong person to obtain. Like a Scav Bow for example. Ancient Wraiths are difficult to kill, and if we don’t have strong players to kill them, we won’t have Scav Bows. This is why the statwhore class could be suffering the most.

Why the casual class might be suffering the most:

Here’s a fact. If the other class characters are unhappy, the casual class will have to pay for it because they rely on the other classes to do their part. Unknowingly, the other classes have the power to change the economy and the society. They just can’t get together long enough to formulate a plan. “There’s too many ‘young children’ on this game to bring it back from what it’s going through.” --- Dazzzed. Bottom line, the more “unfortunate” the other classes are =’s how poor the casual class will be in that state of time. This is why the casual class might be suffering the most.

Why the olbie class might be suffering the most:

All this can do is make them quick faster, and if this happens there won’t be anyone here to leave a small streak of light in this dark realm of suffering. The olbie class is the only class who knows what Eo was like before it’s Golden Age ended. All they have to do is continue to pass on their teachings and there might actually be some hope.

Well, you’ve just read who some of your peers think are responsible for the suffering of many Eo citizens. All you have to do now is tell us what you think. Be sure to vote on the polls and express your opinion.

See you next time.

Edit: Wikky! I know you’re reading this… You better add my blog to that widget or I’ll…I’ll! Aw, c’mon Wikky! Don’t be like that…

Economics as of 11/28/07:

Once again, I’m not trying to alter the prices to my liking. All I’m interested in doing is making information known to the rest of the Endless-online community. These prices will help you determine just about how much a certain item costs.

As of 11/28/07:

Baru – 275k-300k

Lens – 100k-110k

Baruta – 150k-200k

X bow – 40k-50k

Bow – 20k-25k

Draco – 60k-70k

Dracota – 30k-40k

Saw Sword – 190k-200k

Frost Arrows – 250k-280k

Fire Arrows – 450k-480k

Twin Blades – 50k-55k

New Male Hero Plate – 30k-40k

Female Hero Plate – 15k-20k

Oron/Orona – 180k-190k

Pwep – 275k-350k

Female DE – 100k-130k

Male DE – 25k-30k

Knob Staff – 600k-700k

Fladdy – 120k-180k

Scav bow – 1m-1.1m

Advice:

Don’t buy any major items for the next week or so. Sell most of your rare items for their current price, then in a week or so, buy them back for less. You’ll make a good profit. Also, stay away from Apozen dropped staffs. They’re a bit “uncontrollable” in price at the moment so stay away from them. All the people that bought them for 900k can now only sell them for 600k. It’s not worth it.

Valuables:

Blue star – 900k-1m

Orc skull – 800k-950k

Admin scroll(s) – 200k-400k

Analysis of prices:

From the looks of it, everything seems to be going down in price which is good news to the stat whore and newb class characters. I’m unable to determine where the prices are headed to at this point in time.

Note: I FINALLY ADDED THE NEW KARA-KOMIC! Also, from now on, I add the economic prices to the forums on this site as well. So check out there when you get a chance. Don’t forget to vote on the polls, and look at the kara-komics when you get a chance. See you next time.

The Newest Threat to the Endless-online Society and Economy:

The Newest Threat to the Endless-online Society and Economy:

Another rock on the road to defeat.

The end is now a well known fact. I’m sure you are all aware of those spammers that keep disconnecting people, well, I am, and I’m sick of it. This will be one of the only post where you will witness my infuriated opinion on the topic at hand.

It angers me to click on the global chat button and disconnect immediately. Whether I’m advertising the site, buying, or selling things; this is interfering with my personal Eo life, the economy, and society as we know it. Supposedly, Vult-r is fixing this crap, but I’ve yet to see any progress from him. I can’t progress in this game if all the major economic-areas are populated with disconnecting-spammers whose only desire is to PISS YOU OFF.

I heard that they’re supposed to be doing this as some sort of protest against, cheaters/scammers/hackers, but apparently that’s not working. It’s just making everything worse than it already is. If you want to protest, make a blog for god’s sake, or anything that will actually benefit the economy/society of Endless-online.

On the other hand, I also heard that they’re doing this to just speed up the destruction of Endless-online. If this is the case, so be it. It’s not like we can fight back anyway. Personally, I’ve already lost/given up the fight. I’m out numbered and no matter how many people know my opinion or read my blog will make a difference. It’s very depressing to see such a good thing go to waste.

Even the most innocent of us are suffering and even though it may be true that any major breakthrough has never been accomplished without violence; my response is that there’s a first time for everything. I’ll come out and say it: Don’t be like me. Don’t give up too easily, and “don’t go with the flow.” --- Karagu If you do, then you’ll “bleed like the rest.” --- Karagu.

I’m aware that I have gone against the very reason why I created this blog, which was to voice your opinion, but as we all know, I have an opinion as well and I feel that it is absolutely necessary that I make it known in this case; especially, since I am one of most people that are influenced by this issue.

The “people’s” thoughts are the same. We all hate the spamming and it’s not getting us anywhere. I asked 23 people if any of them supported the spamming and every last one of them said “no.” This is the first poll with a straight-forward clear answer. “No, we don’t support the spamming, and we are counting on someone to fix it.”--- Non-spam supporter.

Also, while I was on global, I saw average citizens mocking the spammers by spamming as well! I don’t know if they were trying to be funny, but it’s not. It’s a waste of time, energy, and an annoyance to look at. ESPECIALLY, if you are one of the people that need the global chat for things other than casual-chatting.

Come on now people, do something productive with your time. As ironic as that sounds, seriously, don’t take it out on them/us.

Yeah, I know your scenario, I’ve been through it. I just turned 17. What? No one knows what you’re going through? No one understands you? It was just a harmless joke?

Whichever line may be your favorite, do us a favor.

Get in line.

---Karagu

Note: New poll, Kara-Komic still postponed.

For those confused:

How this may affect our economy:

- This could stop selling/buying things all together because they disconnect people in banks, aeven square, and the global chatlog. These are all major selling areas, and without them this could cause “product failure” and a decrease in selling/buying items.

How this may affect our society/community:

- This could cause many casual class people to quit. If they are dominated economically by the spamming they could lose a fortune; especially, if the reason above were to happen. To be honest, this would affect me greatly as well.

EDIT: NEXT POST WILL BE ON PRICES!

See you next time. I’ll try to get the prices and the new Kara-Komics in ASAP.

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. ---Karagu

A Contrast of Serenity

A Contrast of Serenity:

The one who performs the crime suffers just as much as the victim. Self-conscious of the crime at hand, brings shame to the victim and the performed. An excuse: The Ends Justify the Means, is used.

The future brings hopes of serenity to mind. However, this is an entirely different world. This is the remake of the commonly deemed failure we see today. Why do we stay in this world you ask? Simple, to keep the serene world serene.

The world mentioned above is indeed the test server. “The perfect remake of Endless-online’s main server.” --- Painisluv. I had an I.P. ban for 120 minutes on the main server and decided to do something useful with my time. I joined the test server, and I was certainly amazed. The good thing was that there were virtually no people online. The economy was great and so was the community; however, there was one bad side to this. Every 8 out of 10 people were super speeding, and this is no exaggeration. In my 2 hours of playing, at least 45 people flew past me at the speed of +256. This is because there is very little (or none) moderation on this server. Ironic how a lack of moderation can lead to a more serene server. Don’t ask me.

I decided to get my test account started in case the main server had me down again. It’s always handy to have a place to run to when somewhere else is “pissing you off.”

It was fun being apart of the newb class again. It allows you to release some stress, and since there’s fewer people on this server that means there’s fewer people to call you a newb (common logic).

Most people on the main server hope for it to become the next test server, but unfortunately there’s a very small chance that’s going to happen. The only way something that big could happen is if Endless-online turned into a P2P (Pay to Play) game, which isn’t likely. Until this well needed “miracle” happens, we’re all going to have to continue to get irritated and challenge each other to Pk in the meantime. Instead of suggesting Pk I would propose going to the test server, but that’d just be helping the test server turn into another main server, and we really wouldn’t want that.

There are a few rumors going around in the main server about the test server. I’ll just post them and allow you to be the judge of if they’re valid or not.

Test server rumors (as heard on main server):

- Test server is illegal.

- Test server is easier to hack.

- Test server isn’t moderated.

- Test server will reach v29 before main server does.

- Test server will receive the new jail before main server does.

- Test server will eventually be deleted by Vult-r because it is illegal.

- Test server is vulnerable to duplication of gold.

These are all commonly heard rumors on main server about test server. True or false? You decide. I’ll add a poll asking whether or not you think test server is better than the main server. Think long before making your decision because there’s a lot to consider.

Also, some of the Eo citizens believe that the test server is more economically-stable, which doesn’t necessarily mean its better, than the main server. Since the prices are lower than those of the main server does this give us the right to deem the test server more economically-stable? If so how long will this last? Has the test server reached the second golden age? For the first time in endlesseconomy.blogspot.com history I’ll include two polls representing one post and a new kara-komic. Be sure to vote on whether or not you think the test server is more economically-stable than the main server.

Note: I ADDED A NEW KARA-KOMIC TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SITE! Check it out when you get a chance. See you next time.

Edit: I’m trying to create a new Previous Post option on the right side of my site where the polls are. If you know how to do this please leave a comment with instructions how. Thank you.

In the meantime, if you’d like to see posts I made weeks ago; don’t be afraid to click on dates in the Economic Archives on the right of the site. Enjoy.

Test server username: Economy

A post to change a thought is a post to change an action, which can be used to repair or ruin a life. Ignorance may be bliss, but if you realize what’s happening you can make a difference. This is why I write what I write, and do what I do.

Economics as of 11/10/07

Let me make a few things clear. I am not modifying the Eo prices to my liking. I only post the current prices as of the day/week I posted them. They are an estimate, so don’t pm me when you get on this site and see my prices 2 weeks after I have already posted them, because chances are, they won’t be the same. Also, don’t ask me to try to lower the prices; I’m unable to fix the economy of Eo because it isn’t a one-man job. I’m not a savior, I’m a messenger.

As of 11/10/07:

Baru – 300k-330k

Lens – 110k-120k

Baruta – 150k-200k

X bow – 40k-50k

Bow – 20k-25k

Draco – 70k-80k

Dracota – 30k-50k

Saw Sword – 200k-220k

Frost Arrows – 280k-300k

Fire Arrows – 480k-500k

Twin Blades – 50k-60k

New Male Hero Plate – 30k-40k

Female Hero Plate – 15k-20k

Oron/Orona – 180k-200k

Pwep – 300k-450k

Female DE – 120k-150k

Male DE – 30k-35k

Knob Staff – 800k-900k

Fladdy – 150k-200k

Scav bow – 1.3m-1.5m

Analysis of prices:

It would seem that the prices of most items appear to be going down. I’ll try to stay updated on them every 3 posts. So far, these prices seem “on the money” at the moment so I’ll stay with them.

Note: NEW KARA-KOMIC! Check it out when you get a chance (at the bottom of site.)

Valuables:

Last time I checked these were the prices.

Orc skull – 1m-1.3m

Blue star – 1.1m-1.5m

Admin scroll – 500k-600k

Attempted inflated item(s) of the week:

- Oron/Orona

- Scav bow (again)

Also, be sure to vote on the poll of whether or not you think my prices are accurate! Enjoy!

An Unreliable Global Ruled by Attention-whores...

An Unreliable Global Ruled by Attention-whores:

I look at global for a few seconds to see what was going on economic-wise. Unfortunately my eyes were blinded by insignificant and excessive chatting that would be better off pm’ed to a friend. Global has been taken over and transformed into a world ruled by attention-whores; with hopes of gaining renown…the wrong way.

What is an attention-whore?:

(Example)

Attention-whore: -on global- WHO HERE LIKES PORN? (Often saying something random and stupid.)

People in favor of attention-whores: ME ME ME!

People not in favor of attention-whores: Dude, stfu.

People become attention-whores because they think that if they say something stupid, it’ll bring attention to themselves and bring meaning to their name. There are many ways an attention-whore can crave for attention. Some say random stupid things. Others pick fights, and most show love to everything that walks, e.g. <333>

Most people don’t really like attention-whores. “They are a waste of space on the global chat log,” --- nooooodles. Who can blame them though? Instead of doing something useful like making a blog focused on Endless-online Economics, they rather spam global instead. That’s part of the reason I made this site. If you can’t find economic info in common places where there should be economic info; like the bank, or global itself, then you always have endlesseconomy.blogspot.com right?

Are you an attention-whore?:

Well, do you frequently post “crap” on global? Most people do, to be honest. Everyone likes to be known right?

Here's a few in-game screen shots of attention-whores at work...

(By the way, yes, I know I'm in this picture.)

Here comes the fun part. I asked 10 people if they considered themselves an attention-whore BEFORE I told them the “symptoms” of attention-whore-ism.

6 said no.

4 said yes.

Then, I told them the symptoms of being an attention-whore and the result dramatically changed.

9 said yes.

1 said no.

That pretty much sums it up, in all of Eo, according to this “in-field” poll; 90% of people considered themselves to be an attention-whore.

In my opinion, do something useful, instead of wasting time posting spam, picking fights, or <3333>

I’ll add a poll asking you if you consider yourself a stat-whore or not! Be truthful! Also, next post is a new Economic Price post, so stay tuned.

Note: NEW KARA-KOMIC WILL BE ADDED NEXT POST!

The Domino Effect: Price wise

The Domino Effect: Price-wise

Believe it on not there’s yet another phenomenon that could lead to the inevitable economic down-fall of Endless-Online. It’s called The Domino Effect. I’ve collected some data and made quite a few inferences of how it will/would happen. I’ve even included an example. Below is the result of the data I collected.

What is the Domino Effect?:

Similar to how when a domino falls on another, each domino affects another. If it wasn’t for the “pushing-motion” caused by the domino behind any other domino; no domino would be able to fall.

How is this related to Eo prices?:

Think of it like this, if the cost of ingredients to make an expensive product go down, then obviously the expensive product’s price will go down as well. If the casual class isn’t controlling the price of smaller items, which make up larger items then who is? Whoever is controlling these items clearly control larger items and if there are more expensive-ingredient-based items like oron, than originally-expensive-items like saw swords then the people in control of the ingredient-based-items control the economy. If a more responsible class like “Eo-democrats” were to take over the ingredient-based-items then I’m sure the economy wouldn’t fall (or would be delayed). We have three choices. 1, take action, 2, let the “Eo-republicans” remain in control, or 3 stop playing Endless-Online.

Whichever choice you decide to make will definitely affect you in the long run, for better or for worse. I’ll add a poll asking what you think of the Domino Effect.

Note: I added a new Kara-Komic to the bottom of the site, check it out!

For those confused…

Clear example:

Items that are ingredient-based like oron and frost/fire arrows’ prices are controlled by the cost of the ingredients to make them. If ice cubes cost 3k and it takes 42 ice cubes to make frost arrows then the price of frost arrows will range from 125k-130k.

Items that are originally-expensive like saw swords, and draco/dracota don’t need ingredients to make them. The price of these items are based on rarity, and how many there are in Eo. The price eventually decreases over time, or from outside forces (massive junking).

If there are more ingredient-based-items instead of originally-expensive-items, then there is still a chance to save the economy. If a more responsible class emerges and takes control of the ingredient-based-items then they would control originally-expensive-items and the casual class would be helpless. There’s still hope. See you next time.

Rexor < Paperclip --- Rumor

Rumor has it that the newest employee to the Endless-Online Administrator list has been hacked.

Background on Paperclip:

One of the worst (meant as a compliment) hackers on this god-forsaken game. A “legend” in brute-forcing; he’s said to have the ability to hack any account on Endless-Online. I even heard that he doesn’t even need your account username to steal (brute-force) your account. To sum it up in two words, “Beware Paperclip.”

Strange, how an Administrator would allow their account (in a game they designed) to be hacked. This is one of the reasons this rumor is still unverified. I’ll have to admit; even I thought they were “hack-proof.”

Why they have reason to think Rexor was hacked:

I don’t blame the Eo citizens for thinking he was hacked, here’s the proof.

Administrator behavior, or Paperclip in disguise? You decide. As far as I know, “up is down in this twisted virtual hell.” --- Karagu Will these rumors ever cease? I’ll add a poll on your view of whether or not Rexor was hacked by Paperclip. “If this rumor is true, paperclip might as well stay as Rexor, because he’s doing a hell of a job.” --- Lstonestanding.

Note: I added a new Kara-Komic to the bottom of this site! Enjoy!

Edit: (For those who were confused by this post.)

Why they have reason to think Rexor was hacked:

This guy was either hacked, or is really, really, really, immature.

Why is he advising we visit Eo Radio? Administrators couldn’t care less.
