Second chapter - because everything in game changed for me when i became member of Relentless. Story take place when something wrong goes in Legend Knights, there were things in clan that I could not accept, and once Annyshka told me that i should go to Relentless, i just grinned, because minimum level requied was 11 and champion rank, with good reputations. I was only lvl 8 fighter with some green-blue medals. But in few days i saw invitation from Gino in chat. Honestly i was shocked, but I later learned that Anny had recommended me.
Still a lot of good moments in the memory: Plato fights, castle sieges (1800g first time siege ), Bone dragons, Uborg (who remember epic 1st time Uborg on human side?) It was just interesting to play on the сlan. Thats why people still play here, for their friends. There were a lot such moments when you want to stop playing but anyway continiue because your friends want to see you online, want you to be with them.
I was lucky to be i Relentless when they started to conquer Castle, because i opened up the possibility to earn money with help of Castle - naked hunting on lvl 8 gargoyles with help of Elite Berona Tiger. There altar of ressurection in Castle, owner can use it, so i finally got lvl 9 (Bubba was ready to kill me i think) and started hunting. I still remember
smiles that players wrote me when they saw what i doing.
At this moment a had green BoV medal and one day i caught luck by the tail again - i bought ~400 EEs for good price. But had a little time to pay for it, and i started rainbows on lvl 8 gargs. Once Moon asked me to join queue for lvl 9 halls, just join to start it, no need to fight. I agreed, queued, and decided to try it. I don't remember but seems to me that i won halls. I thought that it was just luck, and tried again, i couldn't believe that BC in green armor could win vs blue-armored full-buffed valor players. And second time i was in top 5. I felt that i can do it, and started to learn everything about tactics in halls. ANd i begun my valor way, in the end of lvl 9. I got elite warrior rank at lvl 9, then i got lvl 10 and decided to get dodger set, because i hated dodgers in halls. I was first who got blue helmet from uborg only for cover expenses for fight. It was nice gift from clan to me. By the time i already was a champion and bought jaguar ciurass, exchanged chess pieces and got chrome weapons, gauntlets and chainmail (5 chrome items total=bonus) rest (pauldrons and boots) - was from unicorn set. I tried to look like Gothmog_ at lvl 10 (visual nice looking was prioritet for me, but not higher stats if i wear full chrome)
My expectations were met, dodger much more stronger then BC in halls, and i enjoyed it so much that decided to be dodger on mage levels. Thats the way i played on lvl 10: HW - for plato/dragon/uborg/instances fights, BC - for rainbows, Dodger - for halls.
I will never forget our palace runs with AsNoOther. He was green-armored lvl 11 BC, with elite berona, i was lvl 10 green-armored HW, also with berona. We havent mighty steeds, reputations. There was only 2 of us in party, but by using our brains we easily cleared all bosses and i got red HoU medal at lvl 10, it means both rings were ready for my lvl 11. Soon i got lvl 11 and clan helped me with getting scorpion cuirass and cuisses, blue rings from dragon, i collected enough gnome coins and bought penetration ring. Getting hero rank was just question of time, all days i called people to queue halls, and finally got it. That was best period of my gameplay here. I can write guide about halls, but dont think its necessary.
To get hero rank - was my target in game. It so happens that i got rank and pvp died on this server after battlefields 2.0.
After that i felt that game become empty for me. I became older for 3 years, i changed 3 cities, living places. Almost one year has passed as I finished playing, but still memory remains.

Chili,
This was a great story to read. Many players can identify with your different accomplishments throughout your game life. For me,
I can empathize.
Even though your end story is bittersweet, it sounds like you have happy moments remembering it. I think we all take away some good moments with friends from this game.

The game has now become a web of old players and re rolled characters.
That being said this is a matter of opinion as I am not a mentor I would not know the exact conversion rate between new players and re rolls, however I do not think it is something that can be accurately assessed.
I get the genuine feeling that most higher lv players remain bored and frustrated at the lack of communication and ideas being brought the table.
In contrast lower lvs seem to remain the same however one could argue that re rolling is a commitment within itself.
My own biased opinion would be, is that there are constant +% diamond events, diamond fairs and now even armour being sold for diamonds. These events last for a period of a specific amount of diamonds ranging from £10,000 to £50 000 worth of diamonds.
That being said if even £30.000 diamonds are being bought monthly where is the money going? There is no advertisement to the game nor are their any significant changes to bring this game to its former self.
Even the little things like Facebook advertisment, regular posts on war of dragons pages and teaming up with players in real life to discuss improvements and aspects of the game could go a really really long way.
I seem to have gone on quite a negative tandem here, however the answer remains the same.

It's a good story. Let me share mine.
I played on com server exactly in its opening year (est. 2007, I entered 2008 when the game was several months old.) under Reggie Chiefstan's regime. The level cap was level 10. Re-rolled 2 times because I can't get the grasp the techniques back then. It took me time to understand the game because I was really young before. Lol
Ahl was the top 1 that time and Real Warriors is the top clan. Executioners were in demand back then. Once you know you did something wrong and if one of the notorious executioners is near your location, you'd play chase with him. There are even times when even at the first minute you logged on, you get attacked right away. LOOOL. It's annoying as heck but because executing was expensive before, everyone knows the attacks are gonna stop at some point in time.
I am proud to say I completed my blue transferrable set back then (2010-2011) and was one of the few who got it. One downside of that glory is the strict policy before. I was banned because of failure to pay a debt (no more than 43g as much as I recall) within the deadline we agreed upon as posted in the forum. It was a fair judgement. I can't complain back then. Because of my ambitions, the character I built fell down. I rushed to get NW helmet which costs around 50g back then which only few have. Rage was more worth it than naked hunting before as money is thrice faster in hunting with good gears but I was wrong at rushing things too much. Naked hunting may take some time but drops are good.
In order to get BZ/LT before, it's either 200 diamonds or 200 golds or hunt and pray that you don't reach level 7 while hunting for it because resources takes ages to gather before.I get an average of 15 EEs during rages and those were sold for 1g each before. Before I prepare for my rage, I make plenty of green blood elixirs. Because there were 3 of us playing in the same computer (me and my brothers), we take each minute a pleasure to enjoy the game. We boast to each other the drops we get (which roll-backs takes after LOOOOOL) and make fun of one who goes into rage while the server is lagging so bad. Things were difficult as heck before but damn... We enjoyed every minute of it.
Invaders before takes the most pain. Once you step on the enemies' territory, the alarm is sounded. All the high levels are going to swarm and kill you (as much as I recall, multis were forbidden before and spying was illegal - if it happens that you have a sibling playing in the opposite race, you are monitored almost 24/7). It doesn't matter what level you are. The intra-racial collaboration before was intact and at its best. Finishing stone revelations quest involving talking to the NPC guy at Light's Edge is a huge pain. Right after you teleport, you get attacked. It was a real challenge before. Even the patrolling guards (O'delvays Guards [10]) are aggressive as heck. You only have around 5% chance of not getting attacked.
Now that I am back with my brother and playing with different computer, on different internet connections and at different places. We're glad that the game is more playable than before. Gold is easy. I was able to make around 1200golds ++ in 2-3 months when I was 6. Debts no longer require deadlines to pay.
~
I may be too late or it's not my time to play anymore (unless I have money to boost my character to compensate over the years I have not played).
Red sets are everywhere. You get one-hit-delete by someone who's the same level as you are and can freely roam anywhere.
If I rush to mage level, I may not be able to hunt in peace (I have not tried mage level before) since I can get easily rammed by a well-developed character which may be in the same or lower level than I am. The only protection I see against that is through joining a reputable clan. Plus, the difficulty increases exponentially in each level. Good gears = good hunt. Good gears = longer time needed to acquire.
If I stayed low level to get my resources and get my reps up, level 7-9 paypallers or players who stayed for years developing a good low level character will get an easy scalp from me during their invades (since they can easily kill level 10 and 15 mob guards) but at least the map is wider for me at this point. I can hunt where I can't be easily reached.
There are 2 ways to get good in this game:
- Working hard with some sprinkle of luck. Invest your time to get money and goods. Chop your goals into small steps and do it one at a time. Don't let a day pass without getting something.
- Pay to compensate. Boost your character so that you can put a good fight against those who were here before you.
The math is no longer the same as before.
Generalist can beat green set. It my entire time playing the game having a green set (10 years ago), I have never been beaten by hunter or cutthroat set in a 1v1 battle. Since the dodge rate has gone really low, it might be possible to win a fight against green at 4/5 using a generalist set or even Ringmail against Unicorn.
Green can beat blue set; Yes, it's possible.
Blue set can beat purple set: The difference in HP and initiative is an obstacle but luck can get in the way specially during arena storm.
Purple set can beat red set: I've never done it because I have not completed my purple set yet but it already happened several times. Buff can make a huge difference but having red set is like already having 3 buffs ahead of purple.
Another thing is that the elixirs are not as efficient before because of the birth of red elixirs. Intuition, Agility and Protection works differently in low levels. You can wear a blue BC set and use blood elixirs (yes, we use power elixirs before because the crit frequency even in green set were satisfyingly great) then still not land a crit blow.
This game in the mage era. I left when I was 6 and got banned 10 years ago. There's so much to explore. It's a crazy game right now. The balance is not good but I still find a way to do some fun... Admins still see people playing this game as how it's designed and how it's supposed to be (collecting resources, hunting mobs, doing BFs, using estates, sharing some fun and etc.) and grants active players some rewards (I have played for around 6 months straight no lower than 6 hrs. a day and I can attest to this since my drops are good so far + my good days than the bad days are still greater during those times).
After all... No one is forcing us to play this game. We can quit anytime we want.
Grab the fun while it lasts. This game is a good reflection of the real life... The fortunate always gets the upperhand. We can complain all we want but it does not change the fact that the wheel of life takes you to the top today and to the bottom tomorrow.
