I wander the internet in hopes to find old, old friends, Thatz Bruder and YinLan.
But for now, this is my history of games. Sorry if you came here expecting stuff to play.
My first MMO was Graal. It's a Zelda-based MMO. More PKs = more power to you.
My second was Legends of Kesmeai. Oh, the sheer beauty of that game -- it's long gone now though. But trust me, it ruled.
Then there was Everquest... oh. Shit. no. EQ is terrible. Bad memories. Sadly, I was lvl 59, one more to the great, grandiose 60, when I quit. I regret it, actually.
Somewhere around here I played Phantasy Star Online on the good ol' dreamcast. I played a FOnewearl named Poltergeist till the Sega servers shut down.
Now there is Ragnarok Online. I have been with RO for a year and I have met so many people and friends. I like it.
In the midst of RO, I moved to Flyff. But the game is in Beta and is very ... well, boring after you reach second class.
I moved back to RO a little bit.
Tried Silk Road Online. It FAILS after level 10. Fun but damn, just another Korean grind fest.
Then I played Ferentus for a bit. It's fun, but I just got MMORPG'd out.
I tried waiting for Seal Online, but it never came.
Flyff returned. I came back and got a Psykeeper. Then I quit. Lvl 78 before I quit.
I played Lineage 2 as a Necromancer. Quit.
I tried Japanese Seal Online because I know they will never release English seal. Played a Warrior. Lvl 53 before I quit.
I started game hopping with my Illuminati guild mates of Flyff.
So I started to play this Legend of Ares game. That went downhill, the interface was terrible.
Back to RO for a bit.
My friend Alfimi helped me set up an account for Talesweaver, but I had to stop very quickly because my entire screen lagged like crazy. I would have played if it didn't lag, it was fun while it lasted.
Tenko, who was hosting the server, had an HD crash. So I went to play Flyff for a while again. I made an Elementor this time.
Bored. Went to this RO clone game "Aglaia Online." It's mostly in Chinese. It's not that great.
Completely quit Flyff. No more "break" stuff, I've quit. Enough is enough. Lvl 64(?) before I quit.
I went to back to Japanese Seal. Played a fire Mage. Lvl 45 before I quit.
Pretty sure I am going to get addicted to WoW in the near future.
Applied to Cabal Online but I got bored and my computer couldn't handle it anyway. Lvl 10 before I quit.
Went back to RO... For the billionth time. This time on a server called gRO as a Priest. I got sick of it since mostly everyone there gets on my nerves. Lvl 83 High priest before I quit.
For a very short time I played Monato Esprit, but I was really disappointed by the beta so I didn't stick around for the next beta. I wanted to be a templar, grr.
Played Guild Wars a bit with Illuminati friends. Was a Nec/Mez. Lvl 14 before I quit.
I played Trickster as a Dragon...to be... disappointed by the English version. Doubt I'll ever go back again. Yuck. Lvl 24 before I quit.
MMORPG'd out for a few days until my friend Raven20 told me of a ROSE private server named RuffRose! So I hopped on and made a Cleric, and then fell to victim of "fuck I'm sick of Korean grinding". Lvl 91 before I quit.
I went gameless for a damn long time because I just couldn't stand Korean grind anymore, so what did I do? I...
...went to World of Warcraft. Played Khin my undead priest, got bored, and then played my hunter Khinyker, who I absolutely loved, but I got pissed and now I don't want to play anymore. It just gets boring after awhile. Lvl 28 priest and lvl 38 hunter before I quit.
I played a private server for Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst with Tenko for a little bit. Lvl 58 before I quit.
Awaited for the much-hyped Yulgang. When it finally came out, the interface, the battle system, the everything -- everything was so terrible I quit approximately five minutes after starting the game. Lvl 3 before I quit.
I signed up for Fiesta Online and got accepted into beta but I heard from everyone that sucked so I didn't try it.
I started playing a ROSE server named Sevenhearts as a Cleric. Leaving, I decided not to dwindle in a community with so much e-drama. Lvl 168 before I quit.
I tried to get RO2 up because my friend ravaged some peoples' acct info because they quit. I failed to get it working so fuck that. Once you play one MMO, you play them all.
Played RF Online server named Novusector as a Spiritualist. Lvl 17 before I quit.
Went back to Ragnarok Online for a very short time on a server named Twilight Destiny, since I was sort of missing RO and wanted to check out the new stuff. Got bored really soon. I hate playing solo priest. Lvl 73 before I quit.
Seal Online came and I was disappointed. Sick of MMO's. I stopped my Mage at level 23.
My friend Seiran unfortunately poked at my interest with Dream of Mirror Online, which has very customizable characters (I am a sucker for this). Trying hard to be a casual player and not go back to my hardcore grinding days.
Well, I quit DOMO at level 20 cause I couldn't stand this horrible ass grind anymore. My brother and I reminisced about old EverQuest, so we got EverQuest2 and played for a few months. I had a level 56? Necromancer and I was fuck-ass loaded.
I stopped playing MMO's for a time. Then Chris started asking me about Ragnarok Online, and I really wanted to play once again, so I looked up low rate servers (hard to find nowadays) and found IlluRO. It's small and quaint but it needs a bigger population. I was a 99 High priest but the fucking admin blew the server off after people donated their money. Fuck him.
I was paining to play ROSE again, so I found this wonderful little server, AceROSE. Davus and I played for awhile and got to level 104 but again, another son of a bitch admin; he closed the server with no good reason at ALL. Fucking hell, and there's not even anymore 10x servers out there.
To my dismay, I was desperate for an MMO to fill a hole in my life, so I tried out some Flyff server I don't even know the name of. But then I realized no matter how much you customize flyff and set its rates to whatever, it still fucking sucks.
I have been homeless for months, since October of 2008. I have not yet found something to play, though I pine to annihilate people in WoE on Ragnarok, I have been making my own server a few months after IlluRO shut down. However, I have a feeling the project will fail, so I may dawdle on another server, perhaps not. TBH, no new Korean game satisfies me anymore - they are all the same, yet RO still has a strange charm I cannot defy. I wonder if I will ever break away. Too bad RO2 was dropped, because I think it would be good if it didn't... uh, suck so much.
Fastforward to late February. What has always been my weakpoint? Cutesy tootsy graphics. What game have I been looking at to play, but is only in Japanese? Emil Chronicle Online has caught my interest! I quit cause of grind, I hate playing alone, and the language barrier can only hold me for so long. I was a level 16 human knight and a level 10 angel dark shaman(?).
Well, a month after that I got bored of being alone so my friend suggested a game to me... Shin Megami Tensei Online IMAGINE. I've never played an SMT game in my life, but my friend was obsessed with them. However, there are so many reasons why that game sucked that I can't list them all here. You can read my review I wrote on LP for this game here. Yuck.
Another month goes by... and somehow I get latched onto a game called Team Fortress 2. While it's not an MMO, it's different from all other FPS... it has actual characters with personalities, it has humour, and it has a cartoony style. Yes... I fell in love with it. And it's now my lovechild of fandom. I'm not good at it, but I love it.
I did wish to play an MMO still, so my friend Hawkeye and I played IAH version of Dragonica Online. We were surprised at how fun it was, we got diabeetus from the adorable graphics, and we liked it. However, we were constantly met with lag lag lag because IAH is the Asian version. So when THQ*ICE version came out for America a month later, we scrambled to it and brought another friend along, Reoga. We got to around level 34 or so before we just kinda... stopped playing because well... the grind was bad. We fought the same bosses over and over again and the level structure was so bad. Oh well.
Awhile after, I found that Hawk and Reo went to a RO server, so I tried to tag along. It was called Sylvanas RO. It was super high rate, something I'm not used to. I stayed for about two days and then I got bored plus I hated the community. Later I found out it closed because of bug abuse, lulz.
As of 11/6/2009, I was empty-handed, and kinda sick of MMOs; I had single-player games to hold me over.
I think maybe a month after, in December, Tenko randomly popped up the question of playing some more shitty Korean games. My heart sank because yes, I did miss those times, they were fun. We looked around and found Spellborn. I had gameguard errors at first but got around them. Ultimately, I lost access to my password and because the game was dead and being revamped, I sent a help ticket and never got a response.
So we tried another game with a similar score, Runes of Magic. It was as fun as as a free WoW game can get. Though travel was slow, it was fun because you can have dual classes. And... well, it was with Kooters, so it's always fun.
I paid for a month's subscription for Everquest 2. I get a lot of offers for guilds on my inquisitor but I turn them down because I like working at my own pace and enjoy being alone. It's strange how many things have changed since then, just like how things in RO are constantly changing, but I can adjust to them slowly on my own. It's the first of February as I write this, and Erollisi Day is starting tomorrow (valentine's day event) so I think I'll pay for another month.
