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.

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.

You have been warned.

Once again, you have been warned.

Another note: It isn’t necessarily only these links that are bad. These are just some of the major “unfaithful” sites out there designed to put viruses on your computer and hack your Eo account. Example: From looking at this list you can tell that www.fullreleases.com is a bad website. That’s how I would like you to use this information.

Be cautious.

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!

---Karagu

Edit: The Kara-Komic was postponed due to holiday.
