Return

2006-05-16T21:12:00.000+08:00

Hello all, just an extremely infrequent update on stuff occuring here...

Besides moaning the lost of the front few (or lots) blog posts, I've kinda deserted from jaeRO to ethRO (www.ethereal-ro.com) mainly coz, well, jae decided to switch over to playing WoW (World of Warcraft) and switched off his eAthena server; I couldn't update, login or interact with it anyways so I assumed that's what happened.

Secondly, I've gone to DiabloII-ing for a while because of herd mentality; last time I played it was 6 years ago I believe, but for some reason Jon wanted to bring it up so now most of the class is playing it.

Thirdly, to all those goddamn advertisers out there, spam me once more and I'll track you down, kill your family, and burn down your house. Then I'll spam your email with so much virus and spam that you'll want to kill yourself if you've survived the blitzkrieg.

Good day to all, and stop goddamn advertising your #### on my blog. Thanks =P

Data Corruption?

2005-09-22T19:05:00.000+08:00

Darned this! The first few posts were deleted (somehow) and I have no idea how to retrieve it back. Nevertheless, I guess the theme of this blog will be changed... NO more Ragnarok and stuff, mainly because I can't find a good private server.

Ragnarok, bye for a now, and studies are coming... End-of-year!! *ack*

Orc Intrusion

2004-12-01T20:43:00.000+08:00

Well, today Julian (Ingham, me), Neil (Hardin) and Scott (Atlas) went to to the Orc Area of the Clock Tower. We were like, slaughtering High Orcs and Orc Archers. I've found out today that my holy light can do like, 1000 over damage on drainliar. 1-hit-kill. Woot! Only thing is, the casting time stinks. I mean, 2 seconds??!! Better up my dexterity to decrease casting time. Quite funny stuff happening today, actually. Below is a paraphrased, not quoted:

Neil: He's running towards Ing.
Julian: SHIT!
Scott: I told you not to holy
Julian: I wanted to see the damage :P
*Scott sics the High Orc with his +5 Hurricane Gladius and Sucsamon (or however its spelled)*
Julian: Phew
Neil: No SP
*sits down*

Ok, maybe this ain't that funny. But this text is to give you an example of what is happening (regularly) in our 2 hour romp at the Clock Tower. Look at another one:

Julian: ...Neil?
Julian: hello?
Julian: I'll go lure some fellas here
*High Orc spots me and runs towards me*
*I run*
*computer lags*
*High Orc hacks me to death just as I reached Neil*
Julian: Neil! T_T
*High Orc hacks Neil until he left like 500hp*
*Neil became un-afk and hacks the high orc to death*
Julian: T_T This lag is gay.
Neil: Phew, nearly got killed by the high orc that you lure to me :P
Julian: T_T

I mean, at the end its like, insane lag. Well, at least I gain +1/1 level(s) and I learnt level 10 Agiup. Not bad. 4 more job levels before priest. Gotta look on the good side for once. At least, I earnt like, 60k or so. Not bad, since I got about 100+ Orc Tokens and um, 146 Red Bat Wings. Not bad for a change. At least I'll be able to restock my blue gemstones. Or maybe I'll ask Neil to help me use his Level 10 Discount to buy the Blue Gemstones when I become priest. Well, today is better than yesterday, although Ivor earnt 100k+ just in about 10 minutes. I really want to cry when I'm compared to him. He's lower level, but he's waaay more powerfu, have better equips, and much richer. Some more, he's a HUNTER, I'm an acolyte. Guess I deserve it for wanting to be priest at level 50 instead of 40. Still, I'll perservere! Job Level 50 Priest, here I come!

Aldebaran Reverse

2004-12-01T13:31:00.000+08:00

First, I want to make sure, this post is about yesterday. Not today. Coz I don't have much time to post yesterday with my two brothers pestering the crap out of me. Now, about pestering, this got me to the one single word. Mimics. If you haven't played Ragnarok before, Mimics are annoying lil' 'treasure' chests with an attitude. They see you, creep up on you, and bite the crap out of you. How they did that, I don't know. All I know is that I've just finished healing the crap out of a Wraith, that big skeletal ghost in a tattered cloak with a hugeass mouth, when that mimic crept up on me. Bang! I died. Respawned in Aldebaran and had to spend another 600z to teleport there. I mean, why can't Jae put a goddamn Kafra at Glast Heim? How difficult can that be? I mean, it's a private server, ain't it?

Anyway, I spent about 50 minutes out of the 60 minutes that I can play yesterday training with Neil's Rogue, called Yuichi, in Glast Heim Graveyard and Glast Heim Abbey. And all I gained was 10% exp. Yes. 10% exp in 50 minutes. Next, I was killed so many times because of lag, but at least Neil didnt die. 2 reasons. Maybe his lag ain't so bad. Also, his flee is so high, those damned zombie prisoners can't hit him for nuts. Miss. Miss. Miss. For me? Smack, 800 damage. (200 hp left) Bam! Critical hit! 1700 damage! Oww! Died. Respawned at Aldebaran. So, being the impatient lil' acolyte that I am, I decided to change tactics. Thus, Neil switched over to his Spear Knight, Hardin, and went bathory hunting. Now, if you didn't know what bathorys are, they are those old granny witches on old flyin' brooms, and beat the crap out of you with a crystal ball. And at the same time croonin' all those granny shit. Man! I hate bathorys. High Magic defence, and all that crap. We spent 10 minutes there before I had to log out.

After the 10 minutes, I gained like, 20% exp. I mean, I spent 50 minutes at Glast Heim fighting powerful monsters and gained 10% exp. I spent 10 minutes hunting Bathorys with a knight with the party mode set at "exp even share" and I gained 20% exp?? Something is clearly wrong here. I mean, I gained double the exp in one-fifth the time?? I'm am definitely NOT going to Glast Heim again. Only reason I'm going there is to earn money. At least prisoner drops are good. Much better than bathorys. But, I have like 800k in my bank, so I don't really need money at the moment. I need exp dammit! I need 5 more job levels before I can really kick some rotten undead butts when I become a priest! I need exp!! And I didn't even gain a miserable level yesterday. Oh well, hope my luck is better today. The next post will most likely be about today, since THIS post is about yesterday. See you around.

Glast Heim Assault

2004-11-29T22:09:00.000+08:00

Finally, only gained 1/1 level(s) at Glast Heim, murdering Zombie Prisoners, Skeleton Prisoners, Wraiths and Ghouls. And the occasional Evil Druid. I mean, I was like WTF?? 1.3% exp from Zombie Prisoner?? After I gained those levels, I went to find the Town Murder for revenge. The Town Murder is some Aggressive NPC with a hugeass ASPD and dishes out some serious damage. After 10 minutes (yeah, 10 long minute) of insane whacking and healing myself, the town murder died. Yes. DIED. Finally. Revenge is finally mine!! I checked my exp gain, 1.2%. I was like, WHAT IN THE #(&%# SAKE?? I only gained 1.2% friggin' exp after 10 friggin' minutes of battle?? 1 Zombie Prisoner can get 1.3% and I can own it in like, 10 seconds! What in the crap is the world becoming to??

Oh well, I was rather busy nowadays with stuff like piano, theory and RO, so I won't be posting stuff that often. If you're free you can visit my cousin's new blog, called Installation-07. Check the actual hyperlink under the "Links" section. Cya!

Frequency Disruption

2004-11-28T11:56:00.000+08:00

I apologise for not logging the previous day's happenings into the databank, but I was stopped on my way to The Control Room because of abnormal frequency disruptions on the way. Plus, the monitor, 909 Atomic Hailroute informed me of disturbances in the Library. It seems that there are Covenent Probes probing around.

Anyway, yesterday was cool. Gained 2 base levels and 1 job level. And Scott gave me an Arc Wand[2] for free. Yea... Adam's Agility Knight really looks like Doppelganger in action. I ain't really free now, so check my other post. I'll post a 3rd one which is more detailed when I have the time. Until then, see you around!

Exploration

2004-11-26T13:42:00.000+08:00

Hello there! I have finally set up my own site for the story. Since I do not have much time, I'll submit the story in chapters and parts at http://ragnarokstory.blogspot.com

I hope that you'll enjoy the story! ^_^

Re-Visitation

2004-11-25T17:21:00.000+08:00

Okay, maybe I wasn't really open that day because I felt like bashing someone's skull in, except that I am only an acolyte and that most likely the other person'll bash my skull in before I can heal myself in time. Another thing, jaeRO... IS... ONLINE! Yeah! I had Karl, Neil and Adam telling me about it while I was typing this blog o_O. Nothing much exciting happened today besides jaeRO being put up. Finally.

Since I have nothing much to do, since I am banned, I might as well explore my literary talent and write a story about Ragnarok. Sorta like Ragnarok Animation, except that its my own version and its in words form.

Creation

2004-11-24T19:23:00.000+08:00

Ahh... I have finally created a blog to voice my own thoughts. Although this blog seemed to be a Halo-themed blog (I am a rabid fan of http://www.bungie.net and http://www.halo2.com), my ramblings here can be anything. Thus, don't get your hopes too high. Let me tell you more of what I do nowadays. I generally play the Ragnarok Private Server, jaeRO, but the damned server is down. Finally, when the Founder of the server, Jae Hyung Park got his damned company to fix the damned server, I had to get framed and get goddamned ban for about 1 week, and I can only play Ragnarok on Monday. I will not explain the reason, my heart is hurting. Looks like Neil's (my guild leader) hopes of getting me to a Priest by then are dashed. Seems that I am the guild's only healer, as the other acolyte does not seem to be very active.

Now, I'll address the stuff about Halo plots. I have read, and noticed, from many Halo Conspiracy Theorists that the forerunners are actually humans. Spoiler Alert: If you haven't played the game, I'd suggest not to continue reading and go get the damned game! It seems that the Forerunners are involved in some kind of civil war, and one faction released the flood to exterminate the other. The other faction, built these Ringworlds to "combat the flood", as 343 Guilty Spark of Installation-04 says. Now, I'm not sure why in the world would they want to build some kind of Weapon of Mass Galaxy-Extermination, but they sure build those. Now, if the forerunners are humans with insane technology, why the in the nether hell would the humans still use bullets and the Covenent are already using Plasma Energy? Many HCT (Halo Conspiracy Theorists) reckon that the forerunners wiped their minds of such technology to forget the horrible carnage that might be activated due to their recklessness. Another theory is that the "reclaimer" activated the damned ring and blew up all the humans. Bam! Everyone starts from the Stone Age, thus giving the Aliens from other galaxies (Covenent) a very nice headstart. Ever figured out why the NASA couldn't find any kind of lifeforms in the galaxy? Coz if Halo blew up all Sentient Lifeforms in the Galaxy, there wouldn't be any aliens left to discover. Everyone died. The humans, for some reason, seem to 'survive' and breed, although they descended into barbarism. I'll just leave it at that and let you think about the rest.

Next, I'll address stuff about Ragnarok. I am so pissed that PvP is off. I mean, there's a good number of us who feel like murdering that KillStealing looter-archer, but we can't. Damn! If only he's an undead, I'll heal the shit out of him. To give you a bit of my Ragnarok background, here are some information.
