Economic Roller Coaster

Economic Roller Coaster:

Two weeks ago the prices were sky high. Thanks to the stat whore class rebelling against the casual class's onslaught of price inflation, they managed to bring down necessary stat whore items. For example: The Scav Bow went BACK down to 1.3 mill because the stat whore class refused to buy for any higher. Congrats Stat whores, you win this round.

Baru – 250k-300k

Lens – 130k-150k

Baruta – 100k-200k

X bow – 40k-60k

Bow – 20k-30k

Draco – 80k-110k

Dracota – 50k-70k

Saw Sword – 220k-260k

Frost Arrows – 350k-380k

Fire Arrows – 550k-600k

Twin Blades – 55k-60k

New Hero Plate – 30k-40k

Female Hero Plate – 20k-25k

Oron/Orona – 220k-250k

Pwep – 400k-500k

Female DE – 100k-150k

Male DE – 30k-55k

Knob Staff – 400k-500k

Fladdy – 100k-150k

Hope my prices are accurate enough for you. I look at global, and I’m in the bank a lot so just in case you were wondering this is how I know. I’ll add a poll asking how accurate you think my prices are so vote!

The Ends Justify the Means

First off, I’d like to say, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I’ve been extremely busy lately, but I managed to gather some interesting info. I super-speeded for a week to see what’d happen. I super-speeded at every single boss, and here’s the result of the data I gathered.

There were at the most, 20 people, at each boss.

-An average of 4 out of every 20 people asked me to teach them. 20%

-An average of 10 out of every 20 people ignored me (probably because they were already used to it). 50%

-An average of 6 out of every 20 people called me a newb. 30%

This information clearly states 50% of Endless-Online’s citizens, “Don’t give a !@#$” --- quote by “speedblader,” about Eo. Is it true that 50% of Eo witness speeders well enough to just give up the fight against them? Have most of you lost faith in Vult-r, or even Endless-Online itself?

The Ends Justify the Means

Speeder: -Kills someone in Pk using super-speed-

Non-speeder: Newb, quit speeding.

Speeder: Stfu nub, The Ends Justify the Means.

Do most of you understand what The Ends Justify the Means actually means now? This is an extremely valid quote that can be used to justify Social Life and Economic Life on Endless-Online. It means that even though you may have preferred to do something differently, in this case killing someone in Pk unfairly using super-speed, you think you had to do it because there was a specific end result that you wanted to achieve. The end result that the speeder wanted to achieve was to apparently kill someone in Pk. This is why we have so many “trouble-makers” on Endless-Online. They all convince themselves to think that it’s ok to super-speed/cheat. If the speeder in the example would have gotten jailed, then The Ends Did Not Justify the Means, for the speeder in this case; unless he wanted to get jailed.

Got it now? There’s a much deeper meaning to cheating on Endless-Online than we thought. Hope you enjoyed.

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.

---Karagu

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.

The Beginning of the End...

The Beginning of the End:

One major question asked, “Why is everything so expensive.” Well guess what, I have the answer, the real answer. There may be many sub-motives to the Endless-Online World-Wide Epidemic of Price Inflation (EOWWEPI), but they all seem to branch off of the single answer I found, while researching this subject. (This is similar to the real life thought of “New World Order.” In this case, the Casual Class is the republic, and there ARE no democrats.)

I think I’m going to do something fun for a change, instead of giving you straight percentages, facts, and in some cases fiction (rumors). I’m going to turn this subject, of where it all started, into a TRUE STORY featuring 3 volumes. The names are the volumes are included below:

Volume I --- Your Future Is… Economic Failure?!

Volume II --- Thrive in v27.

Volume III --- The Rise of the Casual Class.

It’s only going to take me 3 days to accomplish this feat, it will be finished on 10/26/07-10/27/07 so be there or be square. I guarantee you’ll find my story to be “rather interesting” or you’ll get your money back guaranteed.

See you there.

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.
