(pre)OBT! First impressions

8 06 2009

Where to start where to start?! Well, guess I should apologise for not writing another post for the CBT…I had plenty to say, just not enough time to write it. So here’s a quick summary of my time in CBT:

CBT gathering: Spot Nuglar!

CBT gathering: Spot Nuglar!

I decided to play a Battle Mage/Wizard (what ever you want to call it), so levelling from lvl 1 again wouldn’t be so…repetitive. I also wanted to see how much it had changed since I last played it. If you can remember, I use to LOOVE BM (BattleMage), then it got nerfed, and lost some skills to acolyte. Its better now, but I just don’t get a connection with the class like I do on a Knight! So I played BM, then switched and tried the other classes (getting a few characters to level 10 to reserve my names). And well well well…what do you know? I stumbled across Warrior again! Got to level 10…and carried on. I had met my love again. ONLY for it to be wiped after the CBT ^_^

So here I am again, in OBT…playing warrior/knight. Unfortunately OBT has started at a really inconvenient time for me, some of my fellow moderators and guild mates. It’s in the middle/at the start of our exams! So alas, I’m unable to spend alot of time in game. However, that doesn’t stop me from sticking around the forum answering all your questions!

TheAddicts_GuildCreation

The naked guild! We sold everything to get the money!

When the servers first opened, I only had 2 hours to play before I had to head off to badminton (life calls!). My goal, to get TheAddicts set up in a personal best time! However due to patching problems…half the guild couldn’t actually get on… So I left the guild in the highly capable hands of Rucari, and the guild got created later that night :) As you can see in teh picture above, we sold everything to get the money! lol, yes…fighting after that was a bit difficult ;) Thanks to all our donators… EiLrahc21, Rucari, 0Cloud0o, BurntMyPie, Klarity, AutumnSong and offcourse myself :p

Lag. Topic of the week. No wait…it hasn’t even been a week yet!

Gotta love lag!

Gotta love lag!

The first day was SMOOTH! The only time I experienced any lag was when I was hanging around Rucari. It was like a bubble of lag surrounded her :P Other than that (<3 Rucari…really!) it was the best…cleanest Dragonica experience I have had so far! It was only on the second day when I started getting lag spikes. This is when the trouble started! And no…I don’t mean trouble for me in game…I don’t mind, it’s something that has to happen for the game to improve. No, the trouble was on the forum! But I won’t get into all this lag business here…to controversial! You can check up on all the haters and supports on the forum. Just look in the “new posts” and you’re bound to see a few threads ;)

The PvP lag has gone as well! GREAT WORK IAH! In previous tests I have avoided PvP because of the lag…you end up fighting it instead of the other players! But now…it’s so minimal! I actually enjoyed PvPing!!! And I WON! Or more like KICKED ASS (compared to my previous beta matches). I even started taking people on 2v1…and still won! :D (Yes they were the around same level as me). I even had some guy swearing at me :D somehow…I don’t think he knew who I was *ponders*. If I sound like I’m bragging…I’m not, I’m just really happy that I can actually kill people in PvP now!

PreOBT_PvP

Double Kill (2v1)

It’s good to see so many enjoying themselves in game :) Its also good to see the community helping each other out on the forum! Makes our life as moderators alot easier :) Keep up the good work!
A big shout out to Crimson_Moon, Altessa, Eilrahc21 and Kenzai for sticking around the forum and keeping everyone happy! Not to mention all the admins for working through the night, keeping Dragonica up and running :)

See you all in game!

Addicting Story

25 03 2009

Here are some entries from TheAddicts history book. There’s alot more in here *taps book*, however most contain confidential information regarding the war against Elga.

Entry 1:paris2

After Elgas imprisonment nearly 1000 years ago, a young man named Nuglar was recruited into the services of the Dragon Lord Vyvern. His job, to hunt down the last of Elgas followers. As years went by, resistance to the throne continued to increased. Two more warriors were recruited; Sam and Altessa. The three formed what was named, TheAddicts – an elite unit of warriors, determined to single-handedly remove all resistance. They continued serving under Lord Vyvern’s command for centuries to come, becoming adept in the art of arms, magic and warfare. It was even said they were gifted with the knowledge of unlimited life; a skill dragons have all but kept secret.

I write this brief history as the future looks grim. There are rumours of an evil enchantress coming into power, and i fear she will attempt to release Elga from his imprisonment, causing havoc in Dragonica once again. Long live Lord Vyvern and TheAddicts…

Master Addict,
~Nuglar

Entry 2:

My worst fears have come true, Elga has been released with the assistance of Paris and he is once again causing chaos in Dragonica. Lord Vyvern is recruiting warriors into his ranks in an effort to create peace in our land one final time. Sam, Altessa and myself are expanding our own ranks as well; selecting the finest of warriors in the land of Dragonica to serve with us, to serve as Lord Vyverns left claw in the battle against Elga.

With the recent expansions to our guild we have been forced to move out of our

elga

previous head quarters and into something bigger. Ive chosen to conceal our lair underneath Etakons tavern as it allows us to keep up to date on all the latest rumours and gossip regarding Elga and his followers.
Master Addict,
~Nuglar

Entry 3:

Unfortunately recent situations have seen some of our members dead. They have been placed in our hall of fame, and shal be

remembered through eternity. May their tales of heroism continue to be flow through the generations…
Elga has also managed to convert a selected few in our ranks. They are now among the ones we hunt, as we shal have no mercy when it comes to bringing their life to an end.
Our members will shape the history of Dragonica, and i would prefer them to swing events in our favour. Therefore we shal be

taking recruitment more serious in the near future. Our skills must not be turned against us…

Master Addict,
