    Notes on level 40:
    1) The Guiltian is a great hat
    2) Shumi B3 is very annoying. But the rewards are worth it.
    3) Nothing else yet because I must sleep

    and when the balrog met me...

    stupid demonic being... thinks its so tough. i'd like to give it a new liver. then take that liver away!

    yeah, the group of us formed up and quested down, deep into the bowels of the dungeon. after a rigerous march through uncountable hordes of evil-eyes... cold eyes... Drakes! and the despisable minotaurs... it was then... at the minotaurs where our brave party began to buckle... first wheezor, our mighty mage... victim of a decision he didn't quite think through, and new play-mate of a friendly minotaur... alas, we shall miss him.

    the next of us to fall was our intrepid young scout Steel, sadly he was victim #2 of the same minotaur, alas, next it was Haisho (Rave's) turn, and (being a theif) he did the only thing he could, he snuck past the foul beasts using some kind of sneaky-theify cloak-thingy... waving to myself and Gemma on the otherside of the chasm he scampered into the next chamber. leaveing only Gem and I to cross yet.

    Gem, being our glorious and devine cleric, decided to cast a protective shield around herself, enabling her to cross the foaming sea of fur, teeth and axes with incredible damage, yet. her life remained with her for the moment.

    finally it was my turn, being the brave warrior i was i elected to go last, "keeping up the rear" and all that. so mustering up my courage i finally leapt from our safe alcove into the claws of a freezing cold-eye, yes he bite me... but it was a far better fate then being violated by the minotaurs. we ventured forth, attempting to catch up to Haisho who was much farther ahead. alas, Gemma fell at this point, victim to a raging beast which i was powerless to stop (considering i had already gone ahead)

    forgetting my many friends who had fallen, and after a near-disasterous trek across minotaur infested ruins i made it to Haisho at last, he was standing in front of a portal, preparing to head on to the next level, giving me a cocky grin and a knowing wink he activated his 'theif cloak' and ventured into the next chamber, only to be disconnected by a faulty router (get a new damn router Rave)

    so it was only I who remained, but a lowly fighter to face the balrog himself. trusty mace in hand I traversed into the final chamber searching for my prey. tapping my fusiuon-powered mace along the stony chamber walls i neared my impending doom, the foul stench of the balrog growing with every foot step, a deep grumbling arose and shook the cavern walls, loosening dirt and rocks from every surface. fear arose in my throat, threatening to choke me as i sensed the raw hatred emenating from within the cave.

    after a dark journey that seemed to last eons i at last reached the final sanctuary, i could see the balrog pacing below me, his footsteps leaving scorched stone behind, i leapt down into the arena to face this demon. gripping my mace tightly in one hand and readying my shield in the other, preparing to fend off any blow he might inflict, i threw myself at him, building my anger inside to match his own, my mace's energy crackling as it connected with the beasts stomach, the sizzling of his fur little satisfaction as he seemed to shrug off my attack with impunity, realizing my error too late i grimaced as one of his deadly claws impacted with my chest, slicing clean through me.

    blackness faded into my vision, slowly blanketing the world in an impenetrable veil. with my last dying action i hit the screenshot button in a last ditch attempt to immortalize my fate, perhaps as a grim reminder to any who venture this far again... perhaps they will see my image... perhaps not... i can only hope others do not attempt such foolishness as I.

    no offense but i think this game is horrible.

    Although its 2d graphics are really nice, the gameplay is quite repetetive and gets really boring after a while. When I first started playing it, it was pretty fun. I was able to level quickly and I even got some free noob items. Money also came by fast, so I was able to buy some decent items for my character. Then when my level reached the double digits (at least 13 or up) it took hours of playing to advance in the game. I also died a couple times and lost a huge chunk of experience.

    The game is similar to Ragnarok Online, with the ability to party with other players. However, don't expect the partying system to be so beneficial (as it is in RO and other rpgs like d2). The experience is divided equally, so it actually takes longer to level. Often times, on a certain map, there'll be some time when players will need to heal from excessive damage. So not everyone will be killing monsters and the experience gained is slower than most people realize.

    There's also hackers who'll make the monsters go berserk (the monsters will run 10x their normal speed) or fly around (causing monsters to defy gravity) and get you killed. So don't bother going afk in the game when you need to stand still and heal.

    It's a free mmorpg (still in its beta stages) with great graphics, but it's definitely not worth the d/l unless you have a lot of time on your hands; you'll probably spend up to a day just to advance a level once you reach 30ish.

    the only real reason to play the game is to use it as a glorified chat room, really. which is why i don't, any more.
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    Oh don't worry armageddon, most of us agree... I stopped playing it ages ago =P

    Might check it out sometime waaaaaay into the future but for now I'm done with it ^^

    I would likely have still been playing it, but my account(s) were eaten when they changed the login method (which was apparently buggy), so thusly my l30 cleric went poof.
  • Steel_TrollSteel_Troll Join Date: 2004-02-12 Member: 26455Members
    Gem u used to be soo into this game you were the only one who was thinking of buying stuff from the cash shop , what happend? HL2??
    Jhunz was lvl 50 last i saw him but I havnt seen JHunz for a while...

    Me and Vlad are still playing it frequently, im lvl 32 now didnt play during the holidays.Got a second character too, a Warrior so i can Fight With Vlad in Teh Dungeons of dewm against dem EE's for the new rare items eg Skull earrings, moon earrings Umbrella's, Snowboards ...

    It gets better when you get to lvl 21 and you can PQ... then your levels shoot up in no time...

    I still find it fun , cute and addictive although there are times when its quite lonely without the old NSGuild = (

    Hope Ossiriya comes out soon, that may get you guys interested again...
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    well the party quest was great; they really need to add more... lots more!!! =3

    Admittedly the main reason for me stopping more than anything else was what happened to seph; when they changed the login system they broke my account and I couldn't be bothered messing about for ages trying to fix it so I moved on ^^

    Once they add the minigames like they've been promising for heck knows how long, add in lots more party quests and platform quests and maybe tweak what can only be called an xp cliff it'd actually be a really cute lil game to burn time on <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I might try it again sometime in the future but for now I'm gonna be busy on WoW EU open beta =P

    Wowza, my first double post.... ooops Sorry guys
  • Steel_TrollSteel_Troll Join Date: 2004-02-12 Member: 26455Members
    You dont have to get to lvl 50 soo quick, its not all about the power leveling... you can have fun just playing and chatting...

    Ok, i ask you all to at least create your new accounts coz the login system and accounts ID will not change now. So at least you will have an account to jump straight into when Ossiriya comes out, and im hoping ill see all you guys soon...

    As Gem said, its a fun Lil game to burn time on, so y'all get back into it when the open beta ends and you all have nothing to do y'hear?

    And Were is Vlad hes spossed to help me convince u guys to get started again
    >-> ....... <-<

    Well if i figure out how to post screnies ill post some , hoping that nostalgia will get you guys of yer lazy a**'s lol

    See ya when ossiriya comes out

    What do u mean?>

    I thought I lost my account too when u had to go through all that new account crap.
    I couldnt log in, and the log in on the site didnt even remember me.

    I made a new lvl 17 character too. Then A week later I tried loging in under my old account for the hell of it and behold it was still there. Then i verified it and everything was ok.
