The 5 Stages of Grief

A guy named Release loses his account and in about 30 minutes goes through the 5 Stages of Grief.



An important detail... he mentions his ''friend'' Trev was not on his account, showing us that he used to share his account.


1.Denial



In this stage, it is very important to say that you will quit EO atleast 3 times:

1. I quit
2. Im done
3. I'm f***ing done

All these are good. Some go as far as to advertise in global that they will quit, give their items away and then return a week later in regret (recommended for newbs).



2.Anger



"Why me?" feelings of wanting to fight back. Release says that he will start to scam now, his girlfriend tells him not to and "b/c in doin that your giving me a bad name". That is nice to see, a girlfriend more worried about her reputation, but that is a whole different issue.



3.Bargaining



Attempting to make deals, begging, wishing to get the account back, in EO, it is usually a deal with the devil. A known scammer says he will give the account back for 50 million.



4.Depression


Overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration bitterness and perhaps feeling suicidal.



5.Acceptance



And as so many others in EO, people fail to learn their lesson. The girlfriend says "Fine me and Trev will lvl it for u", ignoring the fact that it was because of account sharing that he lost his account.

Repeat process in 6 months.

Autotrainer

Funny how some cheaters think that they are smarter than all the other players because they use cheats, and that everyone else would cheat if they only knew how. This is what an autotrainer named Archtyriel thinks.

Im in vines and see Archtyriel autotraining in a bridge. I hit the vines so he cant kill them. Since he is autoing, he kept thundering them even though he couldn't kill them, over and over again. When asked about it, he actually denies that he is cheating, he says that he being ''smrt" and that if I knew how I would do same too. He can't imagine that people actually choose not to be noobs and cheat.

I say "fine, then go back to hitting monsters you cant kill for an hour again".

Personally, I think killing autotrainers is the best, but since he is in the bridge, keeping him from earning exp will be the second best thing to do.

Of course cheaters don't have much patience, if they did, they wouldn't cheat in the first place, so he starts to curse at me as if I was the one doing something wrong. He wants me to kill the monsters so he can continue getting free exp with cheats.

I did the same for about 2 days. Now, as soon as he sees me, he starts to curse at me and leaves vines, which is wonderful.


Besides annoying the newb Archtyriel, I also killed another autotrainer at nutvipers. Everyone should kill an autotrainer atleast once.

Hacker Ransom

Police search for a hacker who stole Virginia State's pharmaceutical records from the state's prescription drug database.

He demands for 10 million dollars and threatens to sell the info to the highest bidder if not paid.

The police don't know if he has already sold the info. Also they have no way of knowing if after paying the 10 million dollar ransom, the hacker will actually give back the information. We know this situation well thanks to all the newbs who steal accounts. Where is a good trusted Middleman in real life when you need one?

They found what happened when they saw the website hacked, a ransom note was left saying...

"I have your ***! In my possession, right now, are 8,257,378 patient records and a total of 35,548,087 prescriptions. Also, I made an encrypted backup and deleted the original. Unfortunately for Virginia, their backups seem to have gone missing, too. Uhoh :( For $10 million, I will gladly send along the password."

Seriously, the hacker sounds like a newb from EO, but EO hackers don't do much except spam forums and use third party programs.
