Sustainability

Online Games are sprouting like mushroom in a rate that probably doubles every year. The big question is how does this games can sustain its fame and profit. One of the best example is our favorite game MU. Five years ago, every player can experience a server lag and boot out due to the big population of the players (with respect to the technologies available). Currently? The a big size of the player population are tossed around in a bowl of a game with the same concept on different approach(MU: Grudge, Zypher, Phoenix, Fortress)!

To my own extent of analysis, the following reasons are vital to a game's sustainability:

1. Effects, Graphics
2. Experience Rates
3. Item Drop Rates
4. Availability of profit (Either cash/kind or in-game items etc...) for ideal players*
5. Promotional Events
6. Security and Manageability (Includes in game response of both technical and non-tech staff)
7. Difficulty level of the game and comprehensive interface
8. Story Line

* The biggest percentage of the gamers population belongs to the ideal players, players who want to enjoy the game at the same time earn from their effort on the game or a way to play the game for free. Earning could either be through tournaments, Gambling (pustahan), selling and/or trading in-game items etc...

Mu Mobius - Overunned

A kid at the shop wanted to play MU Grudge. I was reluctant to install the game because it will add to my never ending list of maintenance schedule at the command center, but since it is an opportunity that will increase the daily yield of the shop, I installed the game at one of the available units. 24 hours later MU Grudge from neighboring shop are pouring in at the Crywolf to play MU Grudge that forced me to install the game in all of the available units. 48 hours after most MU Rance player are now convert! :( Damn I'm grinding all alone now!

My New Set Config

After gaining enough agility, my character is ready for its new outfit for AFK mode for faster kill and faster experience gain. I had my Garuda set at the vault a year ago and with a few tweaks added more critical damage by fusing it with the cloud set. ^^

Rare Potion

Just recently I claim my price from Mobius after being qualified from one of their promo last year. It quite late and frustrating since I was expecting for a free game time for my Titan Character. I won 2 pieces of Gemstone and 50 pieces of a rare health potion. At first I wanted to use it on the upcoming siege, but later on decided to keep it as a trophy and remembrance of good old days at MU. :)

Inventory Bug with NPCs

I have been experiencing this inventory bug ever since the launch of season4, and I though someone already made a report regarding this issue. And since this problem still exist, I'm gonna narrate my story before someone else will make a stupid mistake as stupid as a idiot in a rush!

Checking your inventory for your items before interfacing with NPCs is not a good habit to develop, you might end up selling your precious items for just a few zen. Though before this might happen, NPCs will ask you, if you really want to sell such item. But what if an idiot pilot like Goblin the monster is in a hurry selling his looted rubbishes....

Pouch of Blessings

It's more than a week since the expiration of the vacation Experience Bonus, but still we can find this headless like monsters that roam around the realm of the Continent of Legend. I hope that this monsters will stay for good, it has a big impact in the level up rate of characters especially when there is not bonus Xp that yields up to 60k of XP points and it also gives players the chance to loot useful jewels in times when drop rate is F**** low!

First Feather of Sheyt

In our attempts to own a precious Third wing, We had our first Feather of Condor after a lot of failure attempts. But the terror of failure does not end here. The months of effort might lead to failure if this ingredients will turn to shet!
