Changes

Posted by Vincent

Previous blog color is a messed up =)

Now it looks better, just the title picture is a little out of place. Will change it soon.

Oh, besides the changing of blog color, my life is going through some changes as well.

- Ridding myself of gaming addiction by slowly cutting down gaming time and jamming myself with self learning.

Meanwhile, here's a little story of what happened while playing LaTale (MMORPG) with people who made no sense =)

Latale is an online game very much similar to Maple Story, most of the gamers will be familiar with. It has different channels you can hop into if the current channel is loaded with players.

Quest - To kill Goblin King, a boss monster that spawn every 30 min after killed. So i went around searching for that monster. Finally found one after hopping a few channels.

So i made my move, making first hit on the boss. Then came a player named Cloud.

Cloud: OMG, you ruined my spawn time data.

Me: (Don't care, went on hitting the boss)

Cloud: KS-ER (Proceed to hit the boss monster)

Awhile later, the boss died, i took my loot.

Cloud: Keel Stealer, nvm, i got the spawn time for 6 other channels

First and foremost, I DID NOT KS. LOLx He KS-ED me instead, and he still got the nerve to call me a KS-ER. What the buck>?

I almost die laughing but at the same time swear at his stupidity. This is why i should not game that much. People aren't as intelligent or as reasonable in virtual world.

========================

Here's what happen in another Game - Deliverance-Online.

This happened in the game's forum. Players rambling about balance issue, thining population, gm lack of news and information, players leaving (which i did leave the game too).

In the forum, I tried to stay objective and tried to change their point of view from rambling to action. From pointing out what's wrong in the server, into telling them to act, and also gave them ideas to help the server.

Many of them still don't get it. They keep on argueing among themselves, on pointless issues and never see my point. Some didn't even read my post and rebuke me on points i explained earlier on. Call that blindness due to "I DIDn'T READ", but i called it stupidity.

Well, only until recently i see changes and effort made by the GM team, some of which are ideas i contributed like more events from the GM Team, some advertising & support for Player-held events, some screenshots collection that showed happy moments in Deli. Even if no one contributed those efforts to my ideas i gave them, but i know at least my ideas are helpful, workable and objective.

People just don't see my point. I would give them a big LOL as a bystander. Many of them are elitish whom blind themselves from objectivities, some arrogant, some pure idiots, some just want to stab you with words. Intelligent with words, but small at heart. I don't blame them, i am guilty sometimes too. It is just human. =)

I am still tempted to go back to the game, but it makes me feel stupid to do that. Those people are ingrates and elitistic people. There's even a few pinoy who see themselves as the superior race in the world. WOW!

These superior race can see their country corrupted as hell, much of population end up working as maid, but still they are superior. I get it... super maid. Not all pinoy are maids i totally agree, and i have nothing against them or pinoys. But just against the few individual who claim pinoy are the superior race. Ouch! Pure out of touch.

Each human race has their own weakness and strength. Generally, it is hard to say who is the superior race. I believe by saying pinoy is the superior race, he is making them look silly.

They can be proud of their origin, their country, but that doesn't make other country less better than them. Singapore is currently (not for sure in future) much better off than pinoy, but i rarely (actually have not seen) see such Literal Nationalism outrage.

Or Maybe i do... i always hear SG players claiming as better players than Malaysia counterparts and vice versa. It's lame. I guess i can't blame anyone, it's just human and their need to feel right, importance and better off.

What we are missing is..... - the bigger picture.

That's all for my ramble again. =)
