Down and Back Again

The server has been down twice the same day, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. After a while I try to log on and notice that the server is back up. I check the online list and see this:



I wondered when I added Lolkite to my friends list and then realized that im looking at the Online List, I was #2 logged on o.o I quickly decide to run to biters in hopes to get swarmed by biters.


Vult and Arvid log on and of course Global goes crazy.

There are 4 types of players that make Global be retarded whenever an admin logs on.

1. The Clueless. These are the ones that have no idea that admins can go invisible and are constantly trying to point out the obvious.

2. The Haters. The most common...newbs that think they are kool for insulting an admin.

3. The Britney Fans, known for the "Why don't you leave Arvid Alone??"

4. The Tools. These might be the worst of all. There is always at least 1 player that practically begs the Admin to warp to him to they can have a talk about something "important" of EO. The player named Programmer does this perfectly.

Panic! at the maze

Arvid played Hide and Seek today but if he found you... you would be sent to maze.

Maps like Aeven and Vines would get the warning ... leave map in 30 seconds or you will be jailed.

So many people were in the maze that it got blocked.



There is a glitch in the bed map. You have to sit in the bed and wait to be teleported but if someone is standing in front of it then it wont work and of course with these many people, there is always a someone standing in front of the bed or newbs saying that they will move if paid.

Literally had to wait hours for it to clear up. One of the good things of all this... a guild member dragged Bajz into the maze too lol.

A couple of hours later Arvid logs on again and starts to do the same thing. Best to log on an alt when Arvid is on unless you like the idea of waiting in maze for hours. It seems Arvid is chasing one of my members right now lol. Good luck everyone

I saw a newb say in global that Arvid lost is walling powers... comment if you know anything about this.

Justice?

Massive hacking of accounts happened today. Accounts like Gterrenceman, Theblackaxel, Gruntild, Muaythaikid and many more. So many high level cheaters hacked in one day, its genius.

Apparently they used a program to cheat named EOproxy made by Sausage.

I wish they get deleted, but the accounts will probably be sold... we will see what happens but for now, ill settle with watching these losers complain on how they got hacked.


Update.

I hear that Gt and others were in fact not hacked... yeah its a shame. But still some did lose their accounts.

Newb love

Is it normal in other games to log on looking for girlfriends? For some reason I don't imagine this happening in a game like World of Warcraft.

EO's social factor is what has helped it last this long, it is certainly not its good gaming.

Today I see an example of this EO love that everyone seems to be searching for.



Meet Sallydue. I see her walk in, obvious that she is new to the game, and the first thing she asks is.. do you like me?

Now meet Allyourneed, the typical male newb. As you can see in the screenie, he starts out ok by saying that he has a gf and sorry, but at the end, he says no because she is a nub, which shows that gold is what matters most.




Sallydue of course cares about gold too, so she asks him how much gold he says. He proudly answers that he has 137k, and calls her a newb because she has less than that. Apparently 137k makes you a pro in EO.



Poor little Sallydue gets rejected and what happens next?





She looks at me and asks if I like her. Newbs don't let a simple thing like rejection ruin their day.


And this is what makes EO good? A bit hard to believe but yes. People play to interact with each other, not to play the game but this leads to one of the biggest dramas... EO relationships, that is for another post though.

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.
