Prediction and Eviction

Prediction and Eviction:

Is this you?

You: Finally, I got a Saw Sword! Now I can merchant it tomorrow and get even more cash!

-Tomorrow comes…-

You: -In the bank…- Selling Saw Sword 400k! -thinks to self- (I got this Saw Sword for 380k, I can make 20k!)

Random Person In Bank: Newb! Saw Sword went down to 300k.

You: -_-…!@#$. I just got evicted…

If this is you, unfortunately you’ve just been evicted, and you failed to predict what the casual class is going to do next. It’s happened to the best of us, here’s how to avoid it.

-Always read global. Even though they say a lot of stupid, foolish, and immature things on the global chat log, it can be pretty helpful sometimes.

-Make visiting bank one a habit. Go there just to check up on prices. Notice: Bank one, not bank two, and definitely not Aeven Square. Bank two doesn’t have enough people in it, and Aeven Square is frequently filled with characters of the newb class attempting to make cash off of items the casual class and the stat whore class really don’t care about.

- Never keep a certain item for a specific amount of time. Patience is a virtue. For example, if you had a Saw Sword the day it came out, and you kept it for a month until it was 300k, then you decide you want to buy a Scav Bow, which is 1.5mil at the time, you just got evicted. This is the idea of predicting. If you know you want to buy an item that will cost less in a few weeks, don’t settle for a different item while you are attempting to buy the new item. Save your cash. I know what you’re wondering, this is awfully specific to be just an example; yes this did in fact happen to me and I’m not proud of it. I was aiming for the look of Frost Arrows, Baru, and a Scav Bow, but I failed to plan ahead and let my Saw Sword go down to 300k. I got evicted. Luckily, I managed to raise 1mil and I’m going to wait for the Scav Bow to go back down to 1mil. I won’t be evicted again. This is the sort of mentality most of you Eo citizens need to acquire. This kind of thinking will put you ahead or equal to the casual class in terms of thought.

Below, I’ve listed the newly changed prices of items below. It was originally going to be a separate post, but I felt it should be included in this one.

NOTE: Don’t consider attempting to hack me because my account name is totally different from my character name. Also, my password consists of an alphanumeric code and won’t be easy to crack. It makes no sense whatsoever. Also as I’ve mentioned in previous post, I have an extremely sophisticated firewall and I don’t download anything that may contain a key logger. I also virus scan my computer weekly.

Amazing… the predicted prices of the items on Endless-Online have actually gone up! However, some prices of items actually lowered, the prices of items are all over the place these days. There’s no precise reason for this either. Endless-Online is deemed “An economic failed,” by some of our players. The prices didn’t decrease like everyone expected them to do. This could be a turn for the worse for all the stat whore and newb categorized people out there. The casual class is, yet again, manipulating our pockets. Here are the newly introduced prices for the next week or so.

Baru – 400-500k

Lens – 150k-200k

Baruta – 150k-250k

X bow – 70k-80k

Bow – 25k-35k

Draco – 150k-200k

Dracota – 50k-100k

Saw Sword – 370k-420k

Frost Arrows – 475k-530k (Actually went down)

Fire Arrows – 750k-800k (Actually went down)

Twin Blades – 75k-80k

New Hero Plate – 70k-80k

Female Hero Plate – 25k-35k

Oron/Orona – 350k-400k

Pwep – 600k-700k

Female DE – 150k-200k

Male DE – 55k-65k

Knob Staff – 500k-600k

Fladdy – 100k-200k

This is most of the prices for the “casually used” (items used by the “casual/rich” class) items on Endless-Online. Personally, I’m going to sell most of the items I have and wait for the prices of certain things to fall so I can buy those. I suggest you do the same. Although I may be apart of the casual class, but I won’t fall for their tricks. You shouldn’t either. Hope it was helpful.

Edit: I've extended the poll time for the old polls I had on this blog previously. I've extended the poll time to 10/31/06 so vote before that date. (If you haven't already.)

Renaissance or Apocalypse?

It took a few days to get together, but I managed to gather some information on the rumored, “Eo Sweep.” Here’s the result of the data I’ve gathered.

It’s said that in v29 Arivd and Rexor are going to commence the “Eo Sweep” because they’ll have the new jail up and ready. It’s useless if they do it before v29’s new jail because the hackers/scammers that we all “love” will just escape. Rexor and Arvid are supposedly going to be on at the same time, and wreak havoc on all those cheaters. Here’s how it’s said to go, step by step:

1. Rexor and Arvid log on and head to all of the places people are compelled to cheat at. They’ll also actually “look” at the reports containing the names we’ve sent them for people who were cheating.

2. They’ll say something similar to, “Hey all you speeders/hackers make yourself at home in our new jail!”

3. Everyone on global will panic, bringing upon the Renaissance/Apocalypse (w/e it’s called) to Endless-Online.

4. Jailing left and right, “FREE blah-blah-blah” will be an often term heard on global, but the Administrators won’t care. No mercy.

5. I’ve calculated the amount of known/unknown speeders I’ve managed to come across while on Endless-Online. About 60 people’s names will come up on chat logs everywhere around the world saying they’ve been removed from the game –Arvid/Rexor [Jailed].

Are you afraid? Don’t be because, you won’t be alone. “If you’re one of these 60+ players, you’ll have that nice jail to rot in.” --- (heroicglory) --- quote from a player that apparently hates cheaters. No one knows if this will bring upon the Renaissance or the Apocalypse to Endless-Online. Here’s the view of what some creative players think what will happen. (Both stories, Renaissance and Apocalypse are shown below.)

Renaissance:

All speeders will rot in jail for a month straight; the time will only pass if they are online in the jail. They will no longer log in on their main characters, or all alternate accounts made with the same account name they used to create their main characters because those characters will be jailed as well, (all alternate characters created on the same account name are spawned to jail). Arvid and Rexor will bring the Golden Age to Endless-Online. Everything will change and no one will ever speed/scam/cheat again because the new jail will be too harsh for them to risk getting put into. The Renaissance has arrived, with no time to spare. Endless-Online is now the perfect game and its environment is just how the game makers intended…

This is the story four of our Eo citizens formulated with the common thought of Eo justice in mind.

Apocalypse:

Hell on Endless-Online. The Administrators’ jailing will be similar to unleashing 100 hell guardians in Aeven Square with all of the exits blocked. Few will survive. Half the population will be jailed, innocent people will be incarcerated as well. Innocent lives, ruined by the false accusation of cheating. Pretty soon, so many people will be jailed that the citizens will stop playing. Imagine your best friend being put in jail for an obscene amount of time, and on top of that he/she did nothing to be put there in the first place. Endless-Online will be a barren land of nothing but hurt players with desire to get revenge towards the Administrators for taking their lives/friends away from them. This, is the fall of Endless-Online. In the end Vult-r will eventually delete the game and move on with his life, for he never really cared about it in the first place.

This is a story designed by three Eo citizens that hate the way the Administrators handle Endless-Online.

Which side are you on? What do you believe? Will the addition of the new jail in v29 transform Endless-Online into the Apocalypse, or the very name of Justice itself? You decide. Vote on the poll that I’ve included with the very creation of this story. The future of Endless-Online is said to be determined soon. I am only a reporter of the thoughts and actions performed by the citizens of Endless-Online.

Impermeable Prison

New Jail eh?

Rumor has it that Vult-r is going to install a new glitch-free jail that will hold all of those speeders/scammers. Below I’ve listed the pros and cons of this jail, enjoy. (This jail is rumored to come into effect, in version 29.) If you are interested in the suggestions your peers have “put on the table,” leave a comment, and I’ll try to get in touch with Vult-r.

Pros: (What it’s good for.)

-Puts cheaters away for good.

-Makes them think twice about doing it again.

-Humiliates them.

-Makes Eo an overall safer community.

Cons: (What it’s bad for.)

-Cheaters will leave their main accounts for the amount of time they’ll be jailed, and use alternate accounts to cheat/scam EVEN MORE to get back the items they had on their main accounts.

-Citizens that make fun of the players in jail might make the inmates angry and mess around and get hacked.

-If there truly is an “Eo-sweep” the jails might get crowded.

Suggestions:

I asked many citizens what they thought the new attributes to the jail should be, here are some of their good suggestions.

- The Administrators should assign you a designated amount of time that you need to serve in jail. They shouldn’t let you not be online and your jail sentence passing by as you watch TV, or go live life or something. They should make you PAY for your crime.

- They should shorten the amount of time you can be AFK (doing nothing) in jail. This will make sure that you are sitting at your computer watching citizens humiliate you as your sentence goes by.

- They should not allow you to do anything. Such as the following: Editing your paper doll, using public or private chat, and they should restrict your movements. This will scare other players from breaking the rules if they increase the harsh conditions of jail.

- All characters on the inmate's account should be spawned to jail. (Alts.)

Rumored “Eo Sweep.”

There’s a rumor going around about the admins doing a major clean up on Endless-Online crime. They’ll “sweep” rule breakers into jail and enhance their sentences. A more detailed post on the “Eo Sweep” will be coming soon. Stay tuned.

188

4 days with no access to a computer, and 3 days of data gathering. Go figure. The things I do for you guys… So, have you ever had a level 188 person in your group? Strange huh? Well I have some answers for that. Here’s the result of the data I gathered:

If you have a level 188 here’s what you have a possibility of happening to you, due to rumors:

-You might get hacked because this is supposed to be a glitch of a hacker invading your computer through entering your group on Eo. (Rumor)

-You may be jailed or walled because this is supposed an admin in your party spying on your actions and chats to determine if you are speeding/breaking the rules or not. (Rumor from a citizen that has actually experienced and been walled witnessing a level 188 in his party. He was in fact speeding.)

-A simple game glitch, in order to fix this all you have to do is log on and log off.

I asked 20 people if they ever experienced this “glitch” before. Here are the results.

4 said yes.

16 said no.

Out of those four people, each citizen said they got hacked, walled/jailed, or it was a simple game glitch. The fourth person said he got hacked, so 2 out of 4 people said they got hacked, that’s 50 percent.

So basically, in order to confirm it was a hack I had to use one of my “decoy” computers and play with the system a bit. I provoked the hack and had it happen to my “mule” account on my “decoy” computer. It in fact IS someone trying to hack you. Here’s a few ways to stop it once it’s already happened.

-Log out, if you can manage to do it fast enough.

-Leave the group, also if you can do it fast enough.

-It takes about 30 seconds to infect you so if you can’t log out or leave the group in time, UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTER.

If you can manage to do any of these things before about 30 seconds you’re safe.

Basically to prevent this “188 mystery” from happening to you, you should never join unknown people’s groups, or basically piss someone off to the extent that they would want to do this sort of thing. Be careful.

Any questions? Leave a comment.

By the way: Sorry for the wait! Good stories take long to put together.

Beware

Today's "beware" topic is going to be about trading accounts. Unlike some other MMORPGs in this game, selling accounts isn't exactly "black-market-material;" however, it is easy to be scammed. Here's the DO's and DON'T's of trust trades.

DON'T's:

-Don't fall for when the buyer or seller says something like, "Trust me, I won't scam you." Because 99 percent of the time. YOU WILL BE SCAMMED. Almost anyone will jump at the opportunity of taking an account without paying for it so don't be fooled.
-Do not ever go first, this is like putting the words, "Scam-Me" on your head. You are practically ASKING for it if you go first.
-Never tell the information to the account (if you are selling) because there may be another person in the group that will change the password, and they will stage it like you were the person that was scamming them.
-Never sell to known huge scammers on Eo. If you need help identifying them, Google "Picto's Black List."
-Beware of deals that are too good to be true because this WILL be a scam. 500k for a level 5 account with nothing on it is not a good deal, not even if it has a title. Be careful.

DO's

-ALWAYS use a middle-man. This is how a middle-man works. Trade a trusted player on Eo the required amount of money for the deal. Then have the other person give them the information to the account so that they can check and see if it works. Always have the other person Pm you from the account. Just to be sure. After they check to see if it works. Make sure the middle-man didn't change the password to the account, this has happened to me before. Once everything is checked, get the money (or whatever it is that the middle-man is holding for you) and have the middle man give the other player the information.
-Always be polite. If you piss off the middle-man or the buyer/seller they might scam you, in an attempt to teach you some manners. So be careful.
-Be open minded, don't have a one tracked mind. If all you concentrate is making money or selling the account, you're bound to get scammed. Good luck.

Q&A Karagu's Site

Hey, I'm going to post a few FAQ's about my site, in the Q&A Format. I've been getting a hell of a lot of Pms lately and I want to clear up a few things.

Q: Why do you post gossip, shouldn't blogs only include facts?
A: People love to read what others think, I may be only 16, but in my opinion I think I know the characteristics of a talented writer.

Q: Are you ACTUALLY a middle-aged old hairy man trying to balance Eo and a wife and kids?
A: Hell no, so stop asking... I'm a 16 year old Vietnamese/Chinese kid that loves a (in some cases) pathetic MMORPG named "Endless-Online." Don't ask why.

Q: What level is your Eo account?
A: 17 at the moment.

Q: How long have you been playing?
A: 7 months.

Q: Where do you get your information, and your ideas for post?
A: Simple, I think. I consider what's going on and I ask around. When I'm satisfied, I'll post it.

Q: Why is your blog one page?
A: IT'S NOT ONE PAGE! It's actually 3 pages, this is why I urge you to click on the older post button, or use the "blog archives" button on the right side of the site.

Q: What do you consider yourself in Eo social class?
A: Casual.

Q: Are you married on Eo?
A: Get ready for this one ladies, xD <3 style="font-weight: bold;">including the comic at the bottom of this page.

Well, this is all I could think of at the moment, I'll try to get some more news on Eo ASAP.

Note: There's a newb guide right under this post. It's rather long, but don't be discouraged by it. I'm not urging you to read it, but I think you should. Thanks.
