So, I have been busy. That's also kind of a weak excuse, so to add to it, I've also not felt like blogging. I've read many blogs lately, but haven't really felt like making another blog post, sorry =/ However, look, I'm making one!
School has been going on for almost 3 weeks now (for me at least), and tests and etc are starting to come up. I'm also getting into stuff that actually makes me think in Calculus. Because of this, and a hundred other things (not the least of which is my laziness), I probably won't be incredibly active, but I'll try and come up with a few blog posts in between cramming :)
In flyff-related topics, I've been really enjoying the recent event, and also entered the most recent screenshot contest. The recent event is a 14 day double-event celebration thing. It's rather hard to fit a title to it that describes it, so I'll simply explain. Every day, for 2 weeks, the Flyff team will have 2 events going on, different ones each day (or at least I think so, might have to repeat some). In addition to this, they've been randomly spawning a bunch of epic monsters every day in random areas throughout flyff. I have really enjoyed seeing what's going on, though I haven't got to play much. I played for about 2 hours in the box/cheer event day, but since I was training on monsters much higher level than me, I didn't get any boxes, though I did get a level :) (71 now).
Then a bit later, when the clock bike box event came on, I decided to try my luck. I went out and killed Hoppre's (about 4-5 levels above me), and after an hour got 3 boxes :D Guess what was in the third one? That's right, a Clock Bike ^.^ I literally bounced around a little in my seat, and proceeded to take numerous screenshots of me on it. A little back-history here: I wanted to buy one in the half-off sale they had quite a bit ago, I had made about 1k gpots in surveys, and so was going to spend a bit of birthday money and get a clock bike. Unfortunately, since I didn't know that gpotato required your account name to match the Credit Card holders name, it didn't go through and I missed the sale*. So this was a major joy for me, only problem is my clock bike is orange, and I really wanted white... so if anyone on Aibatt wants to trade... :D Feel free to hit me up.
Besides epic events, Flyff also started their most recent screenshot contest: A Silent Comic This is quite a unique contest in which the only text you're allowed to show is your title. I found it quite a challenge, and spent a few days thinking about it before I finally came up with an idea. There's always a lot of creativity to be found in these contests, so I hope my entry is creative enough to win some attention. Anyhow, I enjoyed making it, and feel free to check it out (my name on the forums is Jashiat as well, second page). I hope to someday win one of these contests, not only for the prize (which this time is quite epic), but for the feeling of accomplishment. That's why most of us play games isn't it? I mean, sure the definition might be fun, but it's really about the accomplishment. Otherwise there wouldn't be much point in grinding on monsters, there's not really too much fun in clicking repeatedly (take runescape for an example). Anyhow, philosophical discussions aside, I enjoyed this weeks screenshot contest.
Anyhow, I'm hoping to gain at least a level a week so I can finally get to 75 and attempt to find a guild (most have a lvl 75 requirement). I really miss the community I experienced as a staff member in a Runescape clan. I'm hoping to find something of the same sort on flyff, especially since the majority of players play it for the community more than anything. I mean, as Ping pointed out in the latest Roika topic, what other MMO has a fan video series like that? I would add to that: A weekly screenshot and maintenance contest, amusing GMs and GM events, etc. That's what keeps people playing it seems, and I want to experience that.
*Just a little fyi, if you wish to purchase gpotatoes (which you should, supporting the game is always good :) ) there is an easy workaround for having a different name on your credit card. Simply make a brand new paypal account with the name the same as what you have on your flyff account (I think mine was Tav Rac or something). Then assign your credit card to that paypal account, then simply use the paypal pay option, not only does it work perfectly and quickly, you also get bonus gpotatoes that way if you buy in bulk :)
Current Character stats:
