Like besides talking/henehoeing/playing the game, what do you do for fun? For example, jump quest races, drop games, random exploring, or randoming at hair/eye salons. I remember I used to play a variation of hide and seek with my friends where there's a big location (usually large town maps, like the whole three maps + their stores of Orbis, Henesys + its buildings and market/park, etc.) and the seeker has the find the hiders and trade them. Hiders can't hide behind NPCs to be unclickable, but they can move and have access to the minimap. The seeker cannot use the minimap, and no one is allowed to use movement abilities like flash jump, teleport, nimble feet, hog, so there's a trust system involved. With enough people, there can be more than seeker to start with, and both parties (let's say 2 seekers and 6 hiders) are allowed to party up and talk amongst each other. Anything else yal do?
As an Islander, whenever I'm not grinding, I like to help fellow peeps who are doing mais questline, so I can rob their lemons and oranges afterwards.
What I do for fun is help people on shoutbox. That's what I enjoy most on this game. I've played this game for over two years now. At first, I was extremely ppl2pass. I would grind skeles for so many hours every single day, free leeching people for that exp bonus. I hit level 200 in exactly 3 months. When I was about level 150 or so, I got introduced to the Horntailing world and I think it's fair to say I made a name for myself there. I met pretty much everyone at endgame level, and I fondly remember people only half joking that me saying something in buddy chat was pretty much a smega. Being flooded with welcome backs when I'd log on and often accused of flooding chat with how much I talked to people, really fond memories. After new source hit, the game itself stopped being fun for me. Many, many people over the years have left and I rarely ever say a word in buddy chat now. I don't really mind the relative silence when I log on nor the fact I only talk in game to people in guild for the most part. In early 2016, I remember my goal of being a GM on this server. I was naive, but I really wanted to help. I remember saying I'd write my application in one year from my join date, on January 23, 2017, just to demonstrate I was committed to Royals for the long haul. But over time and getting to know staff on varying personal levels, I decided against that. But my desire to help people never left. On January 1, 2017 when new source came out and the game I loved, for me, died, I slowly became more present on shoutbox. At some point, it became natural to be on forums and shoutbox all the time, always open on my phone. I realized that the fairly vast knowledge I had about this game was helpful to people, and helping people makes me happy. So my favorite hobby is being on shoutbox, meeting the new players, seeing regulars and strangers alike pass by. It's a place where I feel happy. I still play the game, but I simply idly spend my time farming, making meso, and spending it all on perfecting mage gear. I'm somewhat motivated to be the first and only person to get to 1700 magic, but it's not that big of a deal. I don't boss, I don't grind, and I almost never have my gear anyway since it's on my closest friends I'm very, very close to the end of that mage gear perfecting journey, and I often wonder what will keep me playing. I'm not sure what the point would be to keep making meso would be when the last two items are done. 9 slots left to WS and I already have 60 WS to finish 6 slots. It's so close to the end that I ponder what reason I'll have to keep logging in will be. Remake stuff I already made so I can post with them on the damage range thread? I guess. Redoing accomplishments I already did but can't legally post my magic with them. Honestly, I'll probably end up hoarding meso and chaosing PGCs and finally beat the kevinjai 26 att PGC after three years and just give it to Tim. There's nothing else for me to accomplish personally really. But all in all, what I do for fun isn't really in the game. It's on forums, being on shoutbox with the community. Feels like home.
If turning off my brain and grinding wasn't relaxing, I wouldn't play the game. Unfortunately, bossing has become more frustrating than anything recently.
I have always been wondering why you cannot post on the damage range thread. You own all of your gears right? Out of the following restrictions of that thread, I am not sure which one you don't satisfy: - You're only allowed to use Maple Warrior. - Only include your OWN items. - Do not include any time-limited/expiring equipments.
The: 51 TMA Crystal Leaf Earring (Tagged by Ulfur) 42 TMA Brown Work Glove 21 int Raccoon Mask 211 TMA Elemental Wand 7 28 int Yellow Snowshoes Cost about 120b. 115b was from me, and 5b, 10b max, was from Wolf. (Disclaimer that he has a 50 int Bathrobe for Men that he funded entirely by himself, and I don't claim any ownership of that item whatsoever). But I have always held that those things are ours. I did fund the vast majority of it, but I always called him to log on and scroll our next item and it was a tradition for him to tag it. Those days, my reason for playing was really only to see Wolfix, his IL and the second ever level 200 on Royals, to 1 hit O4. Back then, Temple of Time Oblivion mobs were ice neutral and Arch Mage ultimate skills had lower base power than they do today. It required 1774 magic to 1 hit O4 I believe back then, which required a set of perfect gear, plus Echo and Meditation. New source made O4 ice weak and buffed Blizzard base power, so the achievement was destroyed, but it was a motivation at the beginning. He was the strongest mage at the time, and he was really the only tryhard mage player around then. But he never posted his magic and no one except him knew it. I was joking around with him when I urged him to post his magic haha! But after I kept pestering him, he did, and I got motivated to keep on playing and see him hit 1600 magic. He got there and right by the end, he was almost halfway to hitting the perfect 1700 magic. I didn't really care about not posting mine. It was just fun to have him scroll stuff that motivated me to keep on playing. After the big meso dupe in July 2017, he quit. Quit quit. I decided to keep on playing this game and finish the goal. Finish up set of mage gear, both fire and ice wands, both male and female bathrobes, all other tradeable int gear equips, more so as trophies for the close friends in guild to share and benefit from more than anything. I still don't care about my damage or grinding or bossing or even having the items I made over these two years. I just want to finish tying up loose ends and get to 1700 magic with the things I made. When I post on the damage range thread, I'll play fair and not use the items that I feel I share ownership of with my friend and that he equipped.
