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.

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.

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.

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.
