Life is short…

A few weeks back I mentioned something about an English community growing. Yeah it did grow but life is short and now it’s like dead. Eh.. O.o I like to think of it as sleeping.. Let’s give it some hope lol. I suggested the WK section in AIJMS be closed since it had zero activity for days after the last 2X EXP weekend.

But my life goes on online… Wandering… Wondering. I still log-on whenever I can and whenever I feel like logging on. It’s usually during mornings to catch the majority of players. More players means finding a party (the meager Bonus EXP it gives helps). It isn’t hard to find a party because of the Party Finder feature, however explaining to them that I can’t speak Japanese and being unable to participate in their conversations can be bugging. Sometimes I do get partymates who know English and aren’t shy to speak it.

Waaah!! Now that I talk about that I remember one evening when I logged on and met a girl from the old Japanese guild that I was randomly recruited in. She speaks english fluently but humbly tells me she isn’t good at it. (like what most Japanese I meet say We had a nice conversation about random stuff– weather in Japan, countries we’ve been to and countries we would like to visit, her job, my studies. It was a worthwhile chat. Sadly I never saw her online again even until I left that guild and joined the English Guild Insomnia (which is now but a ghost guild T.T).

About my characters; I managed to get +Boy+ to level 54 & 65% today before going to class this morning. Ninjas seem to be fairly geared to killing single monsters at fast rate. You can dish 250%x6 damage every five seconds and do 190%x2 damage with 225%flame shuriken in between everytime. Then you could throw caltrops on the ground which right now at level 4 do 150%x4caltrops. Woot I should do 1st job change guides.

I’m training in Helen now but I go back to Francis once in a while to Hunt for the Scorpion boss on the Southwest beach. I joined a random party and we did Francis Town Defense Party Mission. It was nice XP and I also made friends with the Knight and Magician. And I was happy I found out i can do 1k damage now. Atleast to the squid mobs lol. <see below>

The other picture was while back. I was trying out the cash shop and fitting items on my two girly characters lol. Nice to fit outfit on chicks.. Lol I should play my male archer some time.. >.<

Cash Shop Opens

This Friday, the “Wonder Shop” was added in-game. This is were players could buy virtual items to decorate their characters and also stat resets and other various game enhancing items.

You buy Marble Points (MP) in their website using credit cards. Too bad I don;t have mine verified yet. Maybe I can do that this week.

Along with this patch was another 2x EXP weekend. yeah O.o Why wouldnt they just 2x EXP permanently? lol I hope I can play all weekend but no. I have a lots of things to do this weekend. ( -_-)

I gained another level with +Boy+..

I always forget to SS the important things.. >.<

Double XP Event Ends

The double XP event ended today. I got a total of 10 levels for +Boy+ and 6 levels for Mananap during the event..

It was a pretty nice event because a lot of people from AIJMS were encouraged to level happily. Hmm… I wonder how the removal of the Xp bonus will affect the enthusiasm that they have. I can imagine people being intruduced back to the world of grinding.

Yes grinding.. it’s the wheel that drives these kinds of games. It may not sound nice to some.. but to others it’s a respite from all the daily activities they have in real life. I remember a guildmate of mine back in Maplestory, who says that grinding his character is very relaxing for him. Even WoW doesn’t escape the claws of the MMORPG grind. even though you’re already at max level (level 70 atm) you still have to grind for reputation and such.

And so.. I am not fazed by the grind.. -_- I level slowly for all of you to know.. I call it nice and slow leveling. xD It is the way of life in MMORPGs.

BTW here are some high level armor pictures that i found online. Inspiring really lol xD

The Joker (Rogue/Dagger Thief 3rd Job class) has a very flamboyant hat..

English-Speaking Community Growing

 

I am happy that a lot of english-speaking people are playing Wonderking Japan right now. Since posting a thread about Wonderking Japan on October 18, 2007 in the AIJMS forums, in hopes of attracting a few players, the IGN list has grown to more than 20 characters. Add to that other players that might have joined after seeing advertisements I put on other forums lol. I posted at Mapletip, Sleepywood, OnRPG and Profil3 some teasers lol.

 Loyal Maple fans were quick to rip the game into pieces siting “Maple Rip-off!! Maple Rip-off!!”. Well yes, Maple is a very successful game and it’s hard to get out of its shadow but Wonderking is still a promising game nonetheless.

Others couldn’t be bothered to play a game that is not English..

  Level Updates:

+Boy+ reached 46 tonight.. too bad I got DCed when someone messed the connection at our house. It turns out they are fixing the home network. Lots of people at home during weekends.. xD

I also made this swordsman named Mananap. It’s nice.. though I think Ill focus on the Ninja at this moment.. so I can reach something in this game and see other content as I levek up.

Finally

Hello everyone.

I finally completed the Job Opps page for first job classes. The translations are not official by the way… they are just my interpretations. ^^ I removed the Japanese Blog links.

In-game News.
There’s an event going on. You need to craft a unique item (orange name) and post a screenshot in the game website. The reward is a special weapon.

+Boy+ reached level 33 but I haven’t posted for a while so i made a little slideshow of her doing the job change quest.
