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.

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.

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.
