I gotta admit that i do bot too, if not how can i handle the stress of leveling Business to his levels. I had not known leveling hardship yet >_<. In the meantime however, I was playing MyRYL. RYL is Risk Your Life and the chinese version is Gamemyth. I had some experience playing Gamemyth, so it was easy playing the My version while i was botting. I remembered once i was botting a shop, and i raked in about $12m @@. Hehe, I first noticed the power of party leveling in RYL. With a good party of Priest, Warrior/Defender, and a puller-type, expect a few levels in a day. Once you reach the 70s, it would be 1 level a day then slower. Somehow, i noticed that the leveling speed follows an exponential graph. Well, it is the same for every game i think.
The max level in RYL is 95 and i reached 82, and that is a fairly high level, capable enough to defend or attack. But since i play a Priest, I could only be supportive and i am always behind front lines, so kinda bored after a while. Hmm, RYL has given me many firsts. In this game, i could actually meet up with so many other people and make friends with them, some of them are as near as KL and the farthest is Toronto in Canada. I had seen among them feelings developed, trusts shared and eventually meeting up each other. And the trust that i am mentioning here is a trust rarely seen, they could be willing enough to actually share their accounts ! I myself had my account shared with a few people as well. How come this trend had developed ? Wouldn't that people would be more protective of their account when they are high leveled, with the most probability of having the best items ? Such an account could easily sell for US$150 but yet people shared. To me, part of the reason i shared is because of the game's design, once we reached the higher levels, we could have been playing the same character for at least 3 months ( for people who are 70% of crazy gamers ) and that is like 6 - 8 hours a day, everyday. So after 3 months, anyone who are not single-minded would be bored to tears playing the same characters. So consequentially, people traded accounts to try other high leveled characters. I for myself had other accounts with similarly high leveled Defender, Assassin, Cleric, Templar and Gunner. At the same time too, at least 5 other people in the game had my account details. Am i afraid that they will steal it away ? Well, there was the fear initially but after 2 months of doing so, I am still playing my account. So, interesting trend isn't it ?
But then again, I found out RYL had reached its limits currently. There isn't any major upgrades/patches but only constant fine tuning. Well, such development would not keep the customers because they want new things and those be frequent enough too. So, sayonara RYL, I will come back when your development course changes.
Ah, Ragnarok Online is the game that amazes me. Not only does that it has a lot of changes, mRO is already episode 8. But the most fantastic thing is that there are advanced classes ! It had been rumoured for quite a while, it had been so unsubstantianal that i thought it was a gimmick by private servers to attract more players. Well, it did come true ! And much to the new skills, it had made the game the better the ever ! So for now, back to mRO.
I like being a traveler, seeing new things and observe the others who are different from me. Well, i guess i showed that out by hopping from one game to another, only to sometimes find that i return to the same place.
light my way ♥
