All I see is a Diablo flying all over at 1.40.
does that mean Diablo is using .exe :)? No it means muonline is 20 years old and visual bugs are here to stay(he was most likely next to me)
 
Macro king out.
 

It's been three weeks since I've not been written anything about Castle Siege and the fight for Inception supremacy. There have been weeks in which I was busy, so I was not able to follow this fight for domination in my usual manner, but by starting the investigations I found out the following events:
ATTACK continued the supremacy on the server, they managed to win every fight and eventually they found themselves without an opponent who at least register and try to fight for the Castle. The Castle Siege that took place 2 weeks ago, passing without any fight for ATTACK, apart from the war with boredom. But after this "Castle Siege" without any "siege", players that were still active in the PlayBoys guild decided to break the "unofficial" alliance with those in ATTACK and they had to rebuild the guild under the name of FAMILY. After that, they started to negotiate an alliance with those remaining active in Hardcore & Legends. At the end of the week I saw a new guild born out of these 3 forces, for some players was not a surprise, especially since, if we take into account the rumors from the server, there were some kind of friendships between some members of Hardcore and PlayBoys since the early beginning of these guilds.
I have not yet been able to find out exactly what caused this semi-alliance between PlayBoys and ATTACK to fall, but I know that some rumors were confirmed with the initiation of this new guild, a guild that under the leadership of AdriaNN registers at Castle Siege and promises a lot of action in the great battles for the all great bosses and for Inception's domination. This new guild is called OldStyle and it seems that there was gathered all the remaining strength on the server with the only purpose to face the great, the invincible, the unstoppable warriors from ATTACK, a force that under the lead of Fane dominates this end-game part of the server, with warriors that dominates all main events. And they keep fighting hard because they want to take their guild name right near the legendary guild names that reign and did reign in the History of OldSquad.
The fight is about to start, I wait to see what build is blocked, but even being a single guild attacking, I'm surprised again, OldStyle didn't block any build (when I asked into left and right to search for a reason I was told that they registered too late and being a new guild they didn't have time for this). Anyway I'm still excited to see this new brutal fight that has been already announced... 
ATTACK, under Fane's leadership begins with a significant points disadvantage, and they must face a guild that brings on the battlefield from Land of Trials at least 20 active players. The odds are against them, except that they have a guild core made by warriors who play together for several months. The beginning of the fight is heavy for the OldStyle people, they seem to hardly organizes the parties, which is proven by the time, there where about 25-30 minutes since the first assault starts. On the other side, those in ATTACK move as if they were a single perfectly coordinated party,  they replied as a force that easily crushed everything in its path, each player seems to know what he has to do and easily recovers the big difference of points they had as a disadvantage at the beginning of this war.
OldStyle's warriors don't give up and they manage to increase their odds registering successfully and managing to keep the crown on AdriaNN's head for several minutes. But they were hit by a painful defeat caused by an organized attack of the enemies and they began to be disoriented. Those in ATTACK continue their strategy, they have powerful elves shooting Ice Arrows towards everyone approaching the switches, and taking the strategy close to perfection, they use the most important damage dealers grouped on the right switch to stop any attempt by those in OldStyle to hold that switch. And them OldStyle warriors even manage to hold it for a few seconds, they cannot register because a skilled summoner player (her<summoner> name is Helsing) did the most important job at that time, keeping AdriaNN in sleep and also "sending to bed" all the OldStyle players who approach. So, even if OldStyle warriors held switches, AdriaNN was delayed a lot from registering each time by this skillful Helsing who was throwing sleeping pills at AdriaNN and at all OldStyle warriors nearby .
The most important last 30 minutes make their appearance and ATTACK already have a consistent advantage, but although the OldStyle defeated players won't give up and fight until the last drop of blood and until the last second of the fight marks the end of this Castle Siege.
At the end, Fane consolidates his position as a leader of the server and those in ATTACK once again prove to everyone that they want to get this guild into the Hall of Fame of all guilds that successfully manage to break the Curse and dominate the server on a long run (even if, same as NONE, they dominate the server only on the mid to end life of server ). 
I assume saying that ATTACK deserves its position as Server masters, as well as OldStyle deserves its position too, as they didn't plan their moves at all, first major flaw was not to ban any build, not to build any strategy, etc.
We'll see what the next fight brings us !
 
 
 
 
 

Yo, Old Squaders,

As I mentioned before, I do not have much time to write articles, as life waits for no-one, but after reading the latest posts on forum I felt compelled to say a few words. Scrolling through the forum I see all kinds of "tough boys behind the safety of a computer screen", come on ..... 

There are still 300 characters online and all I have the "pleasure" to read in the forum are posts about Bad Language and shit. Brothers, what the hell? I am convinced that the majority of the players active on our server are well past their teens. We should all strive to have fun whether that means PK at bosses, PK on pvp maps etc.- it doesn't really matter. But, please, act your age!  End-game is the best part of MU and insulting someone who doesn't share your views is completely missing the point. Remember, the one thing that brought us all here, is the most important shared interest: the love for quality MU,  which makes us all brothers (sure, some more dumb than others, but such is life). A fair duel is carried out in silence (we can all see the prompts with who won or lost a certain duel and we do notice. Insulting the other person  after winning the duel only makes you look like a complete and utter moron). Dueling is not your cup of tea? -get in the game and hunt him down until he X-es out of the game, make peace, or if you aren't that strong yet, until you realize you might need to apologize and move on (until later when you have gathered some gear, or they go afk). 
Remember to be courteous; Yes, this is just a game, but your real personality will spill into this game and whether you agree or not, who you are here, shows your real self out in the real world.  For the strongest of you, remember you were once 2 rr looking for Twisting Slash and someone was kind enough to sell it to you for 500 credits (lol).  Show your skill in the ways mentioned above, not by trash-talking everyone (it genuinely makes you look dumb). In the end, it is not about fearing a mute or a ban from one of the moderators, but remembering there is a real person with real issues (and sure, why not), real feelings behind a nickname. End-game PVP  is utter fun, and if you happen to have too much time on your hands, LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR !! (but please, do not insult the others). Death is insult-enough. 
Maybe some of you have been  really active and find yourselves a tad bored. Leave your char in Swamp (the safest map in the world )  and go outside for an hour to at least check the Zombie Apocalypse hasn't started yet and you are missing out on the fun. But please! Stop it with the insults. I mentioned earlier most of us are seasoned players, but remember there are a few younger brothers and sisters trying to enjoy this game just like we do. Do not ruin it for them. I doubt you would be ok with someone threatening and talking to your younger siblings the way you talk to some people here. Let's not start the duel of insults and bickering- real men don't trash-talk others, they mop the floor with them in The Valley of Loren.
At this moment our server needs all active players to get involved, create guilds, forge new alliances and fight for supremacy! Get off your lazy ass (or get on your lazy ass, whatever it is) and let's make weekends great again (M.W.G.A.) and fight to dethrone each GM who dares to overthink his greatness. I would like to see the rest of server trying to steal the Throne from End Game Masters - does nobody else think they have been stinking up the castle for a bit too long?! 
Finally, please try to take this article as constructive criticism and not to be offended. If I think back past editions such as Project Phoenix, I can tell you that I remember it was more peaceful on forum and foul language was not common tongue; people were more active on the battlefield with top players such as DIEEEEEEE(I never know how many "E"s to add at the end) , TAKASHI69 , killua, weew , etc. participating in events I helped create for the enjoyment of both seasoned players and newbies (still asking for Twisting Slash) alike. -What did you do for those who migrated from Wormhole? From what I saw, you let them be absorbed by the only remaining powerhouse on the server, ATTACK, which didn't necessarily need to recruit fresh blood, but they did it because there was no one else to do it (no hate, just an observation point). So I say, stay scattered and you will remain mediocre until the end of time. Divided you shall fall, like chickens, on a daily basis, bok! (in case you missed it, that is the noise a chicken makes)
P.S.> Please find below a few examples from Phoenix News Paper of Charity from OldSquad Old Players on how you can measure your strength like a pro, not by bullying other players:

TO BE CONTINUED...
(waiting on you)
 

Release date: 03.03.2020 at around 19:00, after the small maintenance.
Today we'll hold a small maintenance, this means that server will be off for around 5~15 minutes. While reconnect is possible it is not guaranteed!
Note: Make sure to update the client via Launcher!
Changelog:
[UPDATED] Now Nightmare Quest does give Quest progress even if you are not in the winner party. Note: New condition is to be in 9x9 range of the Boss when it does die (same range like PvM points). Note2: This will prevent future problems with quest progress, sometimes not being added. [FIXED] Quiz sometimes not starting in the normal interval (either starting out of interval or not starting at all). [FIXED] MG Fire Slash skill getting bugged when a BK attacks with Twisting Slash. [FIXED] Ice Arrow being able to be used if it was learned with 5k energy and then a rebuild (either IT or CS) changed the ENE with a lower value. [FIXED] PS Items not dropping from Medusa & PSS not dropping from Selupan. Note: From now PSS is excluded from W4 mix and Sylph Wind Bow is included. [UPDATED] Gens rewards for February are delivered after the update (you can take them from NPC). The gens reset will also be made. [ADDED] New CS feature for Defenders as part of the "pre-fight" strategy, to encourage rebuilding CS & defending the structures: Now you can reduce your Handicap points if you repair/upgrade your gates & statues. Default values that you gain are: 4 points for each 1kk HP that you have on gates/statues when CS starts (maximum ~51kk HP). 8 points for each Defence upgrade on gates/statues (maximum 30 upgrades). 15 points for each Recovery upgrade on statues (maximum 12 upgrades). Formula for points reduction is (Points from HP + Points from Defence + Points from Recovery) * Handicap level (1...5) Note: Maximum points that can be reduced is 40% of total Handicap points. Example: If you are on Handicap 1 (800 points) you can reduce maximum 320 points from those 800. [ADDED] Top 3 Stampers at CS: Every 6 minutes you can also see now the Top 3 Stampers from CS, just like the Top 3 Contributors. You gain 1 point for each second you hold the switch. You lose 2% of points for each death (in room or outside room). So the stamper score is based on switch time minus the points lost due to deaths. The switch hold time is updated only after you lose the switch (so the period gained on that hold time is updated only after you disconnect from the switch). At the end of CS, if the top 3 stampers are online they will win 3/2/1 VIP days based on their rank, if they have at least 300 points. [UPDATED] Released the last 3 quests: Quest 13: Kill 30x BoK+5 Goldens. Reward: 1x OB5. Quest 14: Hunt down 5x Kunduns, 3x Witches, 3x Cursed Dragons Reward: 1x Exc. 380 weapon with Senior Mix options that can be used for W4 mix. Note: You get progress even if you are in 9x9 range of the Boss when it does die (same range like PvM points). Quest 15: Wear the Wings level 4 for your class. Reward: Unlock of 35th reset and possibility to use /qreward anytime after you reach 35RR and level 400 that will reset stats & ML (will also delete skills due to ML reset). Note: If you already have them just equip them, if you don't you have to acquire them. + Other small fixes/adjustments.

Last week was completely dominated by the ATTACK guild aided by those heroes that made this new guild 32l4ever , together these warriors defeated those in Hardcore by dominating all the battles at the big bosses especially at the most wanted one, The Nightmare, this boss became famous again with the coming of the End Game period that brought to our top players quests for resets. 
In this week, the masters on the server (despite the Hardcore's domination at last Castle Siege ) were the members of those two guilds, two guilds united by the friendship that continued to be bound between their members a friendship that seems productive for both camps, these great guilds that bloom as time goes by.
Time does its miracle, and it brings us the much long awaited and desired Sunday and all guilds are preparing for the great event that comes with this day that's supposed to be the "day for rest". 32l4ever won the sign registering fight and banned Vitality Dark Lord build, this move being logical given the fact that they rebuilt the guild under the leadership of WhiteRaven, a Soul Master. This move being made with the purpose to weaken both guilds that are taking part in this Castle Siege, ATTACK under the leadership of Fane and Hardcore, the guild that holds the great trophy and supremacy under the leadership of AdriaNN, those both guild's great leaders being Dark Lords. 
The fight begins, Hardcore in the dominant guild position starts with a disadvantage of 800 points given the fact that they own the castle for a week, ATTACK and 32l4ever quickly did their parties and strategies, then they attack strongly, despite expectations, these two guilds no longer team up and fight on their own. It is a cranky fight, a fight in which everything seems to be on the side of the Hardcore despite the points they had in deficit, and those events that happened during this week, a week in which Hardcore ones were humiliated on all the important events , but in this fight they seem stronger than the other two guilds. 
On the third side the ones from 32l4ever, having the advantage of the early strategy, they fail to accumulate the desired points because WhiteRaven dies while recording, same as Fane, these are reasons that explain the fact  that this strategy made by 32l4ever (blocking VDL build) seems to be on the Hardcore's favor and it was not a good strategy for them or the others in ATTACK. Overall tho, they were good only in the first hour.
The last part of this epic war came and the fight is between ATTACK and Hardcore despite that the 32l4ever ones do not give up and fight with all the power they have to make points. Hardcore has a consistent advantage, but ATTACK are  close, it is an intense fight and everything is about the both guild's skills to come back after each defeat. The Hardcore ones, having the advantage, seem to lose focus in the last 15-20 minutes, trying to regroup after a strong blow received from the ATTACK, but they regroup slowly and let the ATTACK approach threateningly, eventually they manage to gather and return in the fight as they still had the advantage. But this advantage became so thin as in the last minutes ATTACK takes the lead, them Hardcores manage to register again just in time to win, they retake the lead, they can win if they can hold it just few more minutes and everything seems lost to the ATTACK guild. But ATTACK threw a last assault, an assault that has not been seen on this server, they manage to hold the switches and when the last minute of the game came, Fane died while registering!!!!!!! But towards Hardcore's surprise, he returns almost instantly to the throne room, most probably he used a Life Stone or he was summoned, and he successfully registered in the last minute and wins. AN EPIC WIN!!!!!!  A victory that I was not given to see since I play this game, even though I have had seen many tight fights in the past. The people in ATTACK surprised me this time by winning when everything seemed compromised for them!
Now it is the time for those in Hardcore to think about the wasted seconds, the lost minutes, precious minutes that could bring them the victory !!!
In this way I want to congratulate all the players who took part in this EPIC Castle Siege because the end was the most intense I have ever watched, so far!!! GOOD JOB ALL !! 

Despite all the voices that are heard on both sides, I can say with my heart that I saw the cleanest Castle Siege disputed between three guilds on this edition of the server !!
 

Si, senors

Many players are wondering who Reporter is and why is he anonymous, why does he do this, and if he abuses the game with his position? Well, at this moment, the Reporter is just me (a random player), I am doing it for several months and I am doing everything in my power to have fun on the forum with the only purpose to increase the level of involvement for players in the forum and for our community. It is very likely that sometimes I write only the first appearance of an event in my articles (maybe I have only one sided part of story) , but if shit happens and I am wrong, I admit it publicly. I do not consider myself a perfect Reporter, but I consider myself a man with a strong spine and this means that I am able recognize my mistakes publicly, a mistake should  help everyone to evolve by not repeating it, no matter the circumstance. Plus, I am trying to deliver publicly the News, which I am personally picking, as soon as possible. 
If you look at the things constructively, this community has many hundreds or even thousands of players, and it deserves all the best! To be a Reporter inside this community means that you have to voice publicly the community voice, and this means to be equidistant even if you are a player. You have to put the job in the foreground, maybe you have incomplete information, sometimes a Reporter can only express the point of view that he gets on the ground(in game) , so I always must be careful what to write, in order to avoid controversies. But if I have strong arguments or evidence, I can do it with my eyes closed, I believe in the freedom of speech , I believe in this project in which I am involved, and I hope that freedom of speech will always win! I believe in truth and I will refuse to publish a lie, being aware of it.
I will always refuse to believe that the accuracy of my articles is prejudiced by my pride as a player, or the pride of the people I play with, I will always criticize mistakes (even if they are mine, or Admin's) and I will always bring due respect to those who deserve, regardless of the camp they belong to.
Being a Reporter means more than being an admin, an admin can make hot decisions, without thinking twice or he can be as proud as he wants, but he has to be even cause the only main judge on this server is Admin. I believe he acts always to increase the value of our community, maybe sometimes he does mistakes, even him can act without caring for the moment and ban someone just cause he was rude. He is right in 99% out of all cases , but I care, I care about all the players (I have an affection for those who put their soul in this game, some of these people make some big mistakes, and some of them do those mistakes because they have the impression that they have the absolute truth and that they have to reveal it to all the server, without thinking twice, without "sitting in Admin's chair"). I also care about all the articles I write, and, if I am wrong, I blame myself. Tho when I have a story to tell , especially when I am one of the most spiritualists, and I get an interview or just an anonymous opinion I commit myself to say it without being constrained by staff or other "forces". Let the truth (even one sided) go public !
When that time will come and I will give up being a reporter (or I will be fired),  I hope that this project will continue and that the new Reporter who will take over this job will surpass me and raise the written press to the highest level. 
Until then, the Reporter is me, just a random player, trying to get involved in the community, to take its pulse, and publicly transmit the most important things that happens in our servers and to interview the top players. I do not consider myself a super player or a super star cause I have this job, and I do not think that Reporter should be looked at like this, everything about NewsPaper must and should be about the community. I apologize as a human being, in this way, to those who felt offended in the written articles, but I can assure that those articles have been written with heart and soul and they will be written in the same manner, for the only thing that matters: to bring truth to light and to get our community stronger!
I have it in the signature, but I feel the need to write it again: "Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment! "
So guys, feel free to judge me, to reply in NewsPaper, to like or dislike my articles! Feel free and speak truth, I will always appreciate it and I will do my best to write the truth down for our community. 
Best Regards, 
Your Reporter, the one that OldSquad Community has at this moment! 

I think no one used bad words.Cuz If we have used ,we would have told that you are the prostitute cuz we are just sharing you to kill .Taking turns in beating the shit out of you .You can give even your account to some1 to play this CS.

The battle for supremacy has reached peaks last week, especially since we had the opportunity to see the first Castle Siege version 2 (of course was released in beta). The ATTACK guild should have been defenders, but for equality, fairness and because it is a new system, to have all three guilds the same chance to win, ATTACK guild was registered directly by the Admin at Castle Siege as attackers. 
However, including ATTACK, we had 3 guilds signed up for this big event (the other two guilds were PlayBoys and Hardcore, a guild that after the decline that took place two weeks ago seems to be recovered, they managed to bring back in guild some important players who left two weeks ago). Following a new rule, the guild that registers most sign of lords among the registered guilds, with the condition to register more than 300 signs, can block a build at their choice. Hardcore won this first competition and blocked Vitality Blade Knight build. 
This was the first move on the chess table, a move with which Hardcore created confusion in the opposing camps, ATTACK and PlayBoys managing to reorganize but not without wasting precious time, however Sk0pt manages to register the first and PlayBoys takes over The Castle.
While Hardcore were fighting with Playboys for the crown, those in ATTACK seemed lost and confused, they were fighting chaotically, organized apathetic assaults. After the first 30-45 minutes, seeing that they collect the fewest points, at a considerable distance from the other two guilds and seeing that there is absolutely no chance for them to win, ATTACK decided to make "anti-game" in the favor of PlayBoys. They also wanted to take revenge on Hardcore, despite the fact that mafy wanted to bury the past, a hateful past between those two guilds, a past where wars with all kinds of "dirty moves" on Castle Siege and outside of it ranging from insults to hunting nights and populating safe zones on all levels. During the interview, mafy declared besides that he would like peace, that he would like to have a clean fight, but his wishes remained desires and again they had to bear the cost of arrogance and anti-game made in the past vs ATTACK.
Even with ATTACK anti-game or, maybe because of it, fight was balanced between PlayBoys & ATTACK vs Hardcore, until the last 30 minutes when Hardcore seemed overwhelmed, they lost their clarity and some say that it happened because AdriaNN disconnected, a disconnect which caused the reset of his stats and he started to die, Admin helped him up with fixing his build pretty fast but all guild started to look seriously confused, so Hardcore fought well and they failed to reach the PlayBoys afterwards, but managed to rank second, gaining over 10k+ points, and gaining 6 or 7 Lord Boxes but losing to the difference of 4-5k points vs PlayBoys. 
After this epic fight I started to investigate what happened to ATTACK, a guild that was favorite to take the Crown but obtained probably 1 Lord Box, and I heard rumors that there were some internal fights before this Castle Siege. Also those voices said that they had some players who could not take part in the fight for personal reasons, thus torn by internal quarrels and without the team unity combined with the absence of important players, they chose to play for PlayBoys. 

Release date: 02.02.2020 at 19:30 - Updates are up for the next CS.
Changelog:
[UPDATED] Characters damage vs statues/gates at CS further reduced. [UPDATED] Now build checks will happen in crywolf as well and on both valley & crywolf from 16:45 instead of 17:00 to avoid confusions. [UPDATED] Now you get +1 extra point as Defender GM only if you stay at 176x 215x coordonate - throne (only in one place). [UPDATED] Now when CS starts you'll also get a clear of all effects. [UPDATED] Now when you enter sv20 during CS you'll get a clear of all effects. [FIXED] Kill Points changes not announcing when they does happen. [FIXED] Kill points showing all past changes at 18:30. [FIXED] Restore rebuild sometimes not working after disconnects.

Info:
Rebuild condition updated from 15k VIT and 10k AGI to > 60% of total points in AGI+VIT.
Command for banning a build: /banbuild Build
Info: Build can be found in banned list.
System will be up this evening along with another mini-patch, gens rewards, rebuilds, new quests and a disconnect/reconnect to everyone.

Info:
1. AE's with more than 5k ENE are also eligible for removing extra ENE over 5k due to new system (contact us for that).
2. ATTACK guild will be attacker on the new CS, so this means that they are also eligible to register signs for the chance of banning a build. Because they can't register signs as DEFENDERS themselves, I will register manually their signs at the end of the SIGN registration period (tomorrow 23:59).

Release date: Anytime until Sunday's Siege.
We're proud to introduce you our totally new concept related to CS that we've work on during last weeks. We really do believe that the new CS system will be much more fun, balanced, competitive, fair, rewarding and interesting compared to its previous state since WebZen created it (and we've adjusted a little in CSV1).
Note: Even though we've announced that the new CS will be on Wormhole as well this week, we've decided that it is better to monitor only one CS at a time (as they are on the same time). Due to this, we've decided to let only Inception on the new CS on this week (and only next week on Wormhole).

Note2: We consider the new system in BETA until it is played at least 2-3 times, so problems may appear as well as bugs/system crashes (taking into account the magnitude of the system), so we really need your feedback after each CS, where we will also be online to monitor it.
Note3: On this CS, on Inception, CS will start with OldSquad as Defenders so everyone starts with same chances on this new system.
Now, the part that you were all waiting, the actual CS changes, the CS V2 System:
Improvements to LoT Permission concept: Now GM can give LoT access without the need of characters to be online/same server, only to exist. Note: It doesn't matter how you write the name in terms of upper and lower cases, just to be correct. Now you can join LoT only by command /lot. GM can give permission only to the characters that he consider 'worthy', ofc, he can grant permission to everyone from guild and not only. Exception: GM doesn't need permission to use /lot. Now GM can set the tax for entering LoT. By default tax is 300.000 Zen. Max tax that can be set is 15.000.000 Zen. Note: GM can use /lottax Number, where Number = a number between 300000 and 15000000.  Now when using /lot you will pay the set tax in zen to the CS Money (that can be extracted from Senior by GM). Note: 70% of the TAX goes into guild budget on Senior and 30% is server-tax, which is deleted. Now you'll be noticed when you are being granted with access in LoT or when your access is removed. Now when you remove permission in LoT from a player, if he is in LoT he will be moved outside of LoT. Note: Permission can be removed only if GM is on CS server (crywolf/valley/etc.)
  Improvements to Killers part of Gameplay: Now default kill points is 10 points. Now default kill points will be raised randomly during CS time (it will announce when it changes). This anomaly can happen between 17:30 and 18:30 only. There will be minimum 2 changes and maximum 4 changes during this hour. First change will happen at 17:30. Duration of a change is between 10 minutes and 20 minutes but at 18:30 points will get to normal no matter how much left from last change. The value of points will always be between 12 and 25 during change. It will be announced to participants when Kill Points are updated. Now normal kills will be DefaultValue-ResetDifference between targets. Minimum value is 2 points. Note: This means that if killer is higher in resets than the target killed, the points will go down with 1 point for each reset difference. Note2: If target is higher than killer the value remains maximum (the default value), it won't go higher. Now GM points is 5x default kill points (can't be lowered with ResetDifference). Now TANK points is 3x default kill points (can't be lowered with ResetDifference). Note: TANK rule is being BK or DL with VIT+AGI >= 60% of total points. Introducing CS roles: Now Guild Assistant is able to use /assist in order to teleport to his GM. Cooldown: 120 seconds. Now Battle Masters will always get the normal kill points value (ignoring reset difference) - apart from their AoE STUN access. Now GA's & BM's will give 2x default kill points when they are killed (if they are not tanks, else they give 3x). Note: Both GA & BM's are set in the moment when CS starts, any further change during CS won't change the effects to other players.
  Improvements to CS Gameplay: Now you can "feed" kill points to other participants only if your Guild does have at least 300 points. DEF Points updated: You get 1 point in first 30 minutes after initialization (17:15-17:44) You get 2 points between 17:45 and 18:09 (25 minutes). You get 3 points between 18:10 and 18:29 (20 minutes). You get 4 points between 18:30 and 18:44 (15 minutes). You get 6 points between 18:45 and 19:00 (15 minutes). Now if Defenders GM is out of room his team will only get half of DEF points per second as long as he is out of room. Example: If current DEF points is 3 per second, if GM is outside of room the team will only get 2 points per second. Example2: If current DEF points is 6 per second, if GM is outside of room the team will only get 3 points per second. Now if Defenders GM stays near crown throne (between 174x/214y and 178x/217y) his team will get an extra 1 point per second. Example: If current DEF points is 4 per second, if GM is near crown his team will get 5 points per second. Introducing CS Builds: Now all CS participants can make a free rebuild during each CS (anytime during CS, but you can't stay in Valley without doing the rebuild). This means that you can play any build of your character, depending on your guild strategy and what is needed at that CS. This also means that Tanks are no longer part of normal gameplay - anyone can play Tank for CS, GM's are no longer doomed to make a character only for 2 hours per week of fun, as well as the stampers. This builds aren't kept, so at the end of CS you will get back to your previous build. With this change we're aiming to "fix" multiple things: Encourage new guilds to participate at CS without the need to depend on random players to sacrifice their gameplay for TANK in order to have any chance at CS. Encourage PvM players to take part into CS despite their build being PvM for the rest of the time, increasing number of CS participants. Bring a layer of "freshness" on each CS, as strategies can be changed/adjusted after each CS, nothing being "meta" for too long. Note: All current TANKS characters can get a FREE rebuild. Condition: Be a DL or BK with more than 60% of total points in AGI+VIT. Contact us for the manual rebuild. FIXED all statues & gates default values & upgrades from Senior as well as buffed HP, Attack Rate & DMG of Canon Towers. Info: Statues starts with 1.500.000 HP, 80 DEF and 0% Recovery. With all upgrades (that costs JoG & Zen) a statue will have 5.000.000 HP, 550 DEF and 3% Recovery.  Gates starts with 1.900.000 HP and 100 DEF. With all upgrades (that costs JoG & Zen) a gate will have 5.200.000 HP and 520 DEF. Along with the fixes, we've also reduced the characters damage to gates/statues, so that repairing/upgrading gates & statues can bring a new layer of gameplay at CS for Defenders, that can opt to defend them and win extra time (& points). To compensate this advantage for Defenders, we are also adding 2 new advantages for attackers: Introducing Build Ban: Now The attacker with most sign of lord registered each week can BAN a build at that CS. This means that the banned build can't be used by all participants. Any build from the banned list can be banned including VDL/VBK, depending on everyone's strategy. Note: You need to register at least 300 Signs to be able to BAN a build, not only being first. Builds that can be banned (banned list): ESM, ABK, VBK, EE, AE, SMG, SDL, VDL, ERF, VRF. If a build is banned, characters from that class can't have more than 20% of total points in that stat. Example: If EE build is banned, an ELF with 32000 total points can't have more than 6400 ENE at that CS. Command for banning a build: /banbuild Build. Period for Build Ban is between Saturday 00:00 and Sunday 16:45. Note: If the highest sign guild doesn't ban a build between this period, no build will be banned for the CS. Introducing Handicap System: After each CS win, the winners will get a handicap for the upcoming CS. Handicap starts with weak punishments and goes harder as following: 1st win: On next CS the team starts with -800 points. 2nd win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -2000 points. 3rd win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -3500 points. 4th win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -3500 points and 2/3 of VIT limit for GM (if limit is 15k the GM will have a limit of 10k VIT). 5th win (consecutive) and onward: On next CS the team starts with -5000 points and 2/3 of VIT limit for GM. This Handicap system is aiming to reduce the time spent as CS winners for the same Guild. Now there is a maximum value of VIT that can be used at CS, depending on stage of the Game (Current Value: 15k). Exception: VRF. Now Town Portals will be deleted when you enter CS server. Now when you enter CS server if you have any Life Stones created they will be removed. Now after first 30 minutes, every 15 minutes the GM from the team with the lowest points at that moment will receive a Life Stone that can be used anytime during the CS. Note: If GM does leave CS server (switch char, disconnect, or going to server1) he will lose the accumulated life stones. Life Stone can be used by dropping it on the ground. After dropping it, it will take 1 minute for it to become "active". While a life stone is active, people that die from that guild will respawn from the place where the Life Stone is placed. Life stone does have 30kk HP and can be destroyed by opponents (before the activation minute as well). Now in order to access the CS NPC where you need to register signs (during signs period) you need to respect the following requirements: 1. Have at least 15 members in your Guild. 2. Have an average reset score bigger than 60% of top1 player resets. If you don't have those requirements you can't register signs, but you can still register to CS. Now Attackers that die at CS will respawn between end of the bridge and 1st line of gates. Now Defenders that die at CS will respawn between middle of 1st & 2nd gates and middle of 2nd & 3rd gates. Now in order to access the CS battle (stay in valley) you need to respect the following requirements: 1. Have at least 15 members in your Guild. 2. Have an average reset score bigger than 60% of top1 player resets. 3. Have at least 5 members from guild online on either valley or crywolf. If any of this requirements fails, you will be moved out from valley when you try to enter during CS. Checks are happening each 60 seconds (and you are noticed how many seconds left before next check). This last changes will (automatically) make it much harder for people to do "ghost" strategies, but still doable.
  Improvements to CS Rewards: Now if a CS guild makes over 4500 points at CS the GM will automatically get 7 days VIP at the end of CS if he is online (either extension to current VIP level or a new VIP for 7 days). Now at the end of CS, if the GM of loser guilds is online, he will get 1x GM Box for every 1500 points they made at CS (to split with the rest). Now at the end of CS, if the top3 killers are online & they have more than 300 points contribution (each), they will get 3/2/1 days VIP (based on their place) - either extension to current VIP level or a new VIP for 3/2/1 days. Also, the new Rewards System (not mentioned here) will be up on the next project/edition, that will change the vision about LoT.
  Improvements to CS info/messages: Now everyone can see current CS Points when they are announced globally (server 1 as well, not only CS players). Now current DEF Points and current Kill Points are announced everytime score is announced (only for participants). Now you can see current DEF Points and current Kill Points when you write /score. Now /score will only show teams that have at least 1 point. Now when writing /score you will also see your current points contribution to your team, as well as your current kills & the banned build. Note: Score will now show on the global along with current DEF/KILL points, and your contribution/kills & banned build as system message. Now CS winner will be announced on global (not only on CS server) - server1 can see it as well. It will also announce the runner-up with its points as well if it does exist. Now killing a GM/Tank will also show his name. Now killing a player will also notice you (points earned and player killed). Now there is a Top3 CS Killers (contributors) announcement on global each 5 minutes. It contains position, name, guild, points and kills. It is announced globally (server 1 can see the top as well). Now when DEF points are increased it will be announced for CS participants. Now when Kill Points are increased/decreased it will be announced for CS participants.
  Improvements to CS Characters buffs: Command DL build removed from CS server (useless). Mana Shield skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 2 + AGI/700 + ENE/3500, 30% max rate, 60s duration. New: 2 + AGI/800 + ENE/5000, 35% max rate, 90s duration. EE DEF skill formula on CS server changed: Old: ENE/20, 120s duration. New: ENE/18, 90s duration. EE DMG skill formula on CS server changed: Old: ENE/18, 120s duration. New: ENE/15, 90s duration. Sweal skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 10 + VIT/600 + ENE/200, 100% max rate, 60s duration. New: 5 + VIT/700 + ENE/250, 120% max rate, 90s duration. Critical damage skill formula on CS server changed: Old: ENE/30 + CMD/50, 60s duration. New: ENE/25 + CMD/200, 90s duration. Increase VIT skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 100 + ENE/4, 60s duration. New: 300 + ENE/7, 90s duration. Increase DSR skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 50 + ENE/10, 60s duration. New: 200 + ENE/14, 90s duration. Stern (stun) skill from Battle Masters changed: Old: 20 seconds duration, 4 kills required. New: 6 seconds duration, 10 kills required. Extra effect: People under Stern can no longer use Potions until it expires. Cancel stern kills required changed from 2 to 5.
  Extra CS changes: Crown changes: Old: GM lose 0.35 seconds accumulated on crown for every 1 second they are outside of CS room. Old: GM lose 1 second accumulated on crown for each miss-click on crown / lose of switch, etc. New: GM no longer lose accumulated seconds on crown when they are outside of CS room. New: GM lose 1.5 seconds accumulated on crown for each miss-click on crown / lose of switch, etc. CS Schedule changes: Monday 00:00 -> Wednesday 23:59 - Normal Register (at NPC) Thursday 00:00 -> Friday 23:59 - Signs of Lord period. Saturday 00:00 -> Saturday 23:59 -> Late Registrations (Website) - no signs accepted. Note: Manual registration rule for CS is now removed, the Late Registration from website is taking its place, with the same concept but now automatically. Note2: Period for Build Ban is between Saturday 00:00 and Sunday 16:45, if the highest sign guild doesn't ban a build between this period, no build will be banned for the CS. Maximum IP connections on CS server is now 1 instead of 2.
As an END-note, we really hope that you'll like the new system and we can't wait to see it in action. Despite a lot of changes, we'll improve/adjust anything needed in the next period related to the new system, based on your feedback, until we have something 100%.
#MakeMUGreatAgain!

What can i say is that this Castle Siege may be the fairest from this db and also the best by players experience.Even if hardcore joined ,we know that playboys didn't had a deal with them and they were fair play .Also the CS was so balanced ,that  in the last 15 minutes  they took the crown ,and we took it back in the last 5 minutes ,that made us win .Congratulations to all PlayBoys players ,and respect to all players from there.

A new epic battle took place on this battlefield, called Valley of Loren, at the end of which rises the majestic castle. This castle that hides in it a terrifying curse, a curse that can crush strong guilds when it turns its attention to them, fills the hearts of warriors with venom, and makes the purest minds sick slipping inside them greed and vanity,  but also this great Castle, hides inside it a throne that every leader on the server dreams of, and those leaders who have it are living in the fear of losing it , because this throne together with the crown brings riches to which all the great warriors crave.
This Sunday, Sk0pt was the leader who had to defend the crown and the pride of his people. They managed to bring and form 3 strong parties for the defense of the castle, although few but with hope inside hearts and a strong believe in their chances. They fought bravely to the end. On the other side, ATTACK guild, more ambitious than ever, brought about five parties with warriors that stormed the castle gates from the first minutes. In the first half of hour there was a tug of war, a fight in which both guilds strengthen their organization and strategies.
The fight gets hot as the time goes by, but an unexpected event takes place: a Hardcore party comes and starts to mess the things up, these warriors have come to mess up the ATTACK guild's plans, some voices say that without having a deal with the PlayBoys, a guild that seems to start shaking and taking small steps behind, giving precious points to those in the ATTACK. After the appearance of this Hardcore party the score begins to be balanced again,  and the fight continues to be intense.
ATTACK, being stronger, and because they brought more players than PlayBoys, they do not seem to be very morally affected and continued the assaults, whenever they lose the crown they are faster and stronger. The fight is near to the end, we are in the last 30 minutes and PlayBoys are at the helm, Fane and Sk0pt hardly register, although the Hardcore ones manage to prevent the ATTACK from taking switches, they manage to register in the last 10-15 minutes, the PlayBoys move slowly back to registration and if they could manage to put the hand on the crown one more time they would keep the supremacy... But... they fail and ATTACK gloriously win this fight by crowning Fane and ascending the big throne, ending the short domination of the PlayBoys and bringing a new era to Inception,  ATTACK era.
Regarding Hardcore, I can only say that from the big guild that was once, they managed to bring only one party, and only for the purpose of making antigames, the former warriors of this guild being scattered throughout the server, left the guild in ruins and seems that the curse has reached its purpose, by leading the guild near the grave.
 

The battle for server supremacy after "Squadron era"  has started since the beginning of the week. The power on the server is divided between three major guilds: Hardcore, ATTACK and the new PlayBoys guild, the latter was created from the active players who remained on the server from the great Squadron guild. Fierce fighting ensued between Hardcore and the other two guilds (ATTACK and PlayBoys), all three guilds dreamed to grab the crown dropped by Voyager. The fights that took place at night turned into prolonged fights, Hardcore provoking both opposing guilds to PVP and PK, making safe areas populated 24 hours a day by warriors from all three guilds, becoming the prey of the anger and revenge. 
As in any war, everyone had to lose and no one to win, the battles were fierce and no one from these three guilds could not acquire experience. Time runs fast and the weekend is approaching, the Lord's sign records begin and on Saturday night the first surprise is triggered: ATTACK guild is removed from the game this time successfully by Hardcore. The warrior's eyes of these 3 guilds are glittering in the dark, looking to see the great crown  they wish to place on the head of their leader, and, of course, to sit on the great throne and together to rule the MU world.
 Sunday was quiet as usual before the breakup of hell. There were secret strategies on the chessboard that were due to be revealed during the war. In order to take part in this war for supremacy, those in the ATTACK who no longer had the chance to reach the top of the chain, allied themselves with PlayBoys and thus helped this guild to crush Hardcore ones who started the fight well, but they lost important points, being forced to step backwards. Playboys and ATTACK hit hard from start to the end, being helped by some warriors introduced into Squadron guild. They fought bravely and, with the two top guilds force on their side,  crushed and trampled on everything that was moving through their path. At the end of this battle, these warriors were raising Sk0pt to the highest possible rank, the master of Inception, and the ruler of the continent.
Some rumors say that pride and arrogance has cost the Hardcore warriors the crown, these voices say that you cannot start a war with two equally strong guilds at the same time only if you are crazy, and they seem to be right. They also say that Hardcore had too few warriors with experience and it was another factor that led to their defeat.

Over the grave of the Squadron era, a new era begins to flourish, the PlayBoy ERA, a new guild who was learning and taking advantage of the experience gained in that legendary guild, they knew how to play this fight in their favor and to speculate and gain an unexpected help (at least at the beginning of the week), a help from ATTACK, a guild that was pushed back by Hardcore, they had only two choices, to stand back and watch from distance or to get in fight and smash the enemy.  
After this Castle Siege, Hardcore died, the most important players gave up the game for unknown reasons, so rumors are heard that ATTACK and PlayBoys will break the alliance and continue the fight for supremacy.
                                                                                                                                                To be continued...
 

The first steps on the beginning of the end of the game were taken and yet, three guilds took part in this episode of Castle Siege, again, from what I noticed Hardcore started a fight in recording the Lord's signs with 3 registered "shadow" guilds, with the intention to stop ATTACK in taking part in the fight, but they failed. ATTACK was managing to divulge and combat this attempt by registering far more signs of the lord than those in Rampage. The stakes are huge because only the Castle Owners can obtain 380 weapons for Wings Level 4. 
Sunday came and the fight is about to begin, everyone is making plans, ATTACK has grown a lot lately, they recruited a lot of active players and they seem to not be the third guild anymore, they have entered optimistic in the fight and after the first hour they were in front of Hardcore, they have more "fresh blood"  inside, but still not enough to beat the eternal guild Squadron, more powerful, more organized, each warrior of the Squadron seemed to know what to do and how to play its part in this fight. There were like 5 minutes when Squadron guild's score was surpassed by the attackers tho, but they came back to line fast.
At the end of the siege, Squadron retains its invincibility, this great guild has won another easy fight keeping the crown on Voyager's head for another week.
Unfortunately, this was probably the last Castle Siege for Squadron guild on Inception server because earlier this week the most powerful players in Squadron (including their leader ) Voyager, Oklahoma, Zutto, FKinGCunT, Trippy and Sync announced their retirement, following this announcement made by Voyager none of the players mentioned above were seen online anymore and the active Squadron players had to regroup, so, from the remains of Squadron, under Sk0pt's, leadership a new guild comes to life, its name is PlayBoy and I am convinced that they will succeed to gather enough power to compete with the other guilds for supremacy on Inception.
Hardcore seemed weak, and it seems that the strength of this guild weakens from one week to another, they are losing ground in front of those in the ATTACK guild.  In conclusion,  next Castle Siege announces a heated and a balanced fight between three top guilds with thirsty warriors which dreams to grab the abandoned crown and to place it on the head of their leader to make him The King of Inception.

This interview is about Voyager, the invincible guild master of the best guild on Inception, it is a legendary guild and its name is Squadron. This guild led by Voyager dominated Inception since the start of mid-game period, until now, when end game period started.  
Reporter: " From the beginning you led the Squadron firmly and managed to take it to the peaks of success, Congratulations!!"
Voyager : "Thanks, Squadron always had one core team members who manage everything related with the guild. " 
Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to bring Squadron guild back to Old Squad?"
Voyager : " Well, it wasn't that hard, we all played together for the past few years, but we couldn't bring some of our key members and creators of the guild due to the lack of time (TwoCheeks, Mboopi, LastHope, Kenpachi and so on)." 
Reporter: "Please, allow me to enter into your personal life and ask you a few questions. What is your occupation? Do you a have family? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs"  like us ? " 
Voyager : "I am from Bulgaria, living in the capital Sofia and turned 29 few months ago. I am not married, got one happy doge :slight_smile: 
What encourages me.. well probably it is the nostalgia by playing it at so young age back in 2002-3. I must say that I was rolling this game since then with some little pauses." 
Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
Voyager: " I am working in an engineering company in the sales department."
Reporter: "How did you found OldSquad ?"
Voyager : "When I said little pauses, I have found the server in one website for MMO private servers. I tried it and from the first time my expressions was huge - found many friends and players on my age playing this game and having a good experience. This was 3 years ago and the first edition for me was the NonRR. " 
Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?""
Voyager : "In my past I had different names and all was related with NASA space shuttle's missions - Voyager, Endeavour, Curiosity and so on. In OldSquad I was using Voyager mostly. Had funny times with moldovians in past 30rr who couldn't pronounce Voyager and they were calling me 'Boyagar'. " 
Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
Voyager : "Yes, and I kept it activated in the first two months, depending on my team. " 
Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
Voyager : " At the current state - no, back in few editions there were a higher chance you can obtain credits and more character options. I do not like the most of the changes in the past 2 editions (Inception and Phoenix). For sure there is a way to compete with the top players if you do not have VIP - but you have to play A LOT." 
Reporter :" You know Mu3rte..., he started with 1 month + delay and he got ranked no1 pretty fast, isn't this play 2 win?"
Voyager: " Mu3rTe is one man army, we have played together once and I was amazed how much time this guy invest in the game. For sure he played a lot when he started, but keep in mind also the stages who allows the new players to level faster compared to the rest of the server who plays since day 1.
He is also a very good and skilled player in my eyes."
Reporter : "At the beginning of the server I had the impression that there would be only one guild on the whole server, although there were 600 characters on, the top 40 was just Squadron, what happened? What made that Squadron break into pieces and how did you manage to gather what was left to fight with Rampage and eventually to dominate the server for so long?? " 
Voyager : "Before the server launch we kinda had a full group of 25 players, including some of the people who went to RAMPAGE after. There were differences in the way we play and the way other people wanted to play, so we have decided to say goodbye to each other. It was really hard time for me in the next month to organize everything and continue growing so we can finish as winners in the Castle Siege and I couldn't do that without my team's help. For sure we all played hardcore in the first month, month and a half and we invested a lot of time and nerves to build this. " 
Reporter: "When you won the first Castle Siege, I know that, initially, there were some fights lost by Squadron to the limit, what did you change at that Castle Siege when you defeated Rampage?  "
Voyager : " Well, we were behind with players (we had less than them) and we fought hard to be able to compete with them in CS compared to their gear from the past 2 CS's they held.
In two Castle Sieges we used a DL tank alone in a shadow guild so we can fight vs RAMPAGE + Assasins which was hard for us without using this tactic." 
Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions ? Do you think that  Castle is Cursed?
Voyager : "I believe in many things but not in that. Many guilds failed due to the lack of organization. " 
Reporter: " Have you ever been almost overcome by the curse?"
Voyager : "No, as I said our guild leadership and organization is different than others and we deal quick with the drama or in the end we get rid of those who plant the seeds of drama    " 
Reporter: "So, you had no struggles between the members right after you won the first siege? "
Voyager : "No, there was a good hype after this victory which helped and motivated many people who doesn't have our experience and they can give up after few loses. To be honest, I prefer to be on the losing side, this way you give everything from yourself. " 
Reporter:" Earlier you said that this server's play to win concept its not that real, are you saying that a player who wants to be a top guild master has to donate?"
Voyager : " It is not the right way to compare a top guild master and a regular player who plays a lot without VIP and a player who invest money in the game. Being a GM in our guild means you got the support from other players in terms of in-game stuff. That's Squadron's policy and we do that for all the key players - we simply invest in them. I do not want to extend my words for the server's "play to win" meta cause there are ways to earn credits without paying a single dollar, but this applies for people who spends a lot of time here. " 
Reporter: "What happened to Chukundah? Why did he quit the game so early?"
Voyager : "Haha, he got a new job and he wanted to play more league of legends which caused his laptop to burn. 😂 " 
Reporter: " What about Snajper, there was a lot of scandal about this player and his separation from Squadron, what really happened?"
Voyager :"Well, the deal was that we invested in him somehow and he wanted to turn back on us."
Reporter :" Some voices say that after he was helped, he became a traitor and that's why guild punished him, is that true? " 
Voyager: " How couldn't you love those voices :)), as I said we invested in him somehow." 
Reporter : " Can you give us some tips about Dark Lord stats build to be a strong Guild Master ? Can you reveal yours?"
Voyager : "I am not the guy who should give any tips about Dark Lord, cause this was the first time in my life playing a DL. The thing which every player should do (if the server allows it) is to test every possible stat in the beta server which I did for the first 5,6 resets. After those test I knew what stats I should use till 10th RR. In the first 5 resets I was 60% dmg and when the server moved to its mid phase I sacrificed almost every STR into AGI and VIT, but not for long - as you can see in 27RR I have over 6k STR so I can still be able to  help my team in stamps.
My current build was 60% VIT, 30% AGI and 10% STR so you can be able to kill people and farm alone in the same time. I do not consider myself as a strong DL or a Guild Master - everything I have done was a result watching other good DL's in the face of ProtoType and BSB. " 
Reporter : "You are the only Guild Master that held Castle for months and still invincible! (0 deaths in CS rankings) /Respect!!!" 
Reporter: "Why did you and your friends quit Inception?? "
Voyager : "Heh, well we all got bored somehow, some of us were playing only for the CS and in the end we decided to take a break from MU. " 
Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
Voyager : "That's the thing server missed - enemies. Administration made many changes which turned the server into PVM state and we couldn't enjoy of the PVP. One thing amazed me even more - when mercenary was introduced, people started to whisper me "Can you come davias and let me kill you, I got an quest". Possibly there are one explanation - the administration banished all dedicated players in the face of DEADCATS and GROM who was ready for PVP mash ups during the nights. My answer is NO - I didn't had any enemies. As far as I heard I am being hated from certain people but do not know the reason   " 
Reporter :" What do you need to have in order to handle the challenges of a guild master to become the server leader ?"
Voyager : "Can you be more specific about this question  'to become the server leader' ? " 
Reporter :" You were the leader of inception, you still are the one! Leading the top guild to glory and owning Castle makes you top number one leader of server." 
Voyager :" You have to be passionate and calm in order to achieve something as a guild master. Of course you can not do that alone - the help from your crew is very important." 
Reporter: "Have you ever had a moment in wanting to quit being a Guild Master?
Voyager : " Yes, there were some moments, a month after we have won vs RAMPAGE cause the pressure was really hard and it was focused on me and I really wanted to step down for a while." 
Reporter: " Do you read the newspaper? What do you suggest to improve on it?
"
Voyager : "Yes, I am reading all your articles. I could suggest more detailed information about whats happening in the server but in general the idea of the Newspaper is good   " 
Reporter: " Do you have any message to send to friends, enemies or Admin Staff? "
Voyager : "Well, I already sent a message of my friends which I played with, about the enemies - don't think they care about my words. Administration - I would like to see a server setup like the oldest OldSquad editions - no restrictions, no DS camps and everyone should fight for everything -> that's Mu Online." 
Reporter : "Do you want the Grom guild that cheated the hell out of all the expectations (hacking), that was stealing startups, stealing everything they could to get back on OldSquad? Would you like Admin to 'parole' them ?"
Voyager: "I believe everyone deserve a second chance and OldSquad was build thanks to players like DEADCATS and GROM who left their trail. I would like to face them once again in the next NonRR which should be in a newer version."
Reporter: "I would like to end the interview with a challenge. Do you accept?"
Voyager :" Haha, if the challenge is without making me return playing in the server - yes, I accept." 
Reporter :" No, no, name 5 players from the beginning of Inception you respect (not Squadron) , some details would be nice, and 5 players you dislike, we also want details "
Voyager :" Tough question. I can't say I dislike anyone, Mu is a game where you can start admiring people who PK you overnight and have fun PVP fights
The guys which I respect a lot is:
1.Mu3rTe - played with and versus him in multiple editions and he proved to be a valuable player
2.RedBull - we have similar characters and he is a nice guy
3.AlmightySM - proved to be a skilled player in every edition I saw him
4.MaSSaCre - was nice to play versus players like him
5.CRIEEEE ofc - even with the multiple jokes we made of him - he still is a good guy who was one of the TOP MGs in each edition" 
Reporter :" And the flop list? The one with the players you dislike the most? "
Voyager :" Well, don't have such a list, there wasn't enough worthy people to make me dislike them, if I could add a name from other editions in my top respect list - that would be Mamed, i had enormous fun playing versus this guy. "
Reporter : " So, you don't have a disgrace list, but you can make a list with the players you respect more since you started to play OlsSquad?" 
Voyager : "Legion, Weew, BSB, Mamed, Soulka those are the players from which I learned a lot and had an enormous fun playing versus them. I do not have a flop list, I am really not that type of player who will dislike someone in mu online, I don't believe you can have such a list. "
Reporter:" Thank you very much, "Boyager"   !" 
Voyager:" It's Boyagar!!!" 
Reporter: "Thank you, Boyagar!!!!!!!!!! And I hope I will see you again in next editions,
cause OldSquad is about pro players and you are one of those!"
Voyager:" Thanks, was a funny interview  I am far from one of those but thanks, I am playing only for the fun = )".
 

Most of you knows me as Voyager (since my original forum account is banned I am writting from here).
So I can avoid questions why and what - I will be clear with everyone. From today me and my team (Oklahoma, Zutto, FKinGCunT, Trippy and Sync) quits the server. It is not related with anything about the server or some issues with anyone there. We kinda get bored from it so we decided to step up and have a break from MU for a while. 
For me this edition was special cause I promised to myself that this will be the last edition for me playing in OldSquad (well at least before I heard the news for a newer season and who knows, may be I can play it but no one cares ) . Even when I didn't agree with the administration about some stuff/changes and etc I realized that I am still playing here so guess I was enjoying as much as I can playing here. I have played a lot of editions and faced many different players, made many different enemies and friends which I am glad so yea, was nice.
Well at least RAMPAGE can have some real fun now  
I couldn't laugh more after I saw that 😂 let the memes begin
 
 
I almost forgot to tease RAMPAGE  May be next time, bois




 
p.s.
I can't speak from the rest of the guild but for sure there won't be Squadron from Sunday.

I am in Lorencia, probably the oldest land of this continent, called Mu. It is a small part from Lemuria that's the continent where it all started, I am near the entrance to the dreaded territory , "no mans land" is also called and its name is Valley of Loren.  Everything begins there and everything ends in this magic land. This Sunday is a quiet one,  resting on the whole server, whispers are heard in the deaf, everyone is making plans, strategies, the hour of the battle is approaching and nothing except this fact does not count on the whole continent. I feel the vibe of the battle, a fight in which all the true warriors take part to reach even if they die on the eternal wall of the heroes.
I carry with me hope, the only hope , it is that the skirmishes are not true and the rumors are just fairy tales for children, I hope that The Curse can be defeated, one of the legendary guilds, named Squadron, seems to have the antidote, they fought bravely, they are brave, they already have the supremacy for months, they dominated the continent, almost from its head to the tail and thus other myths are born, as if they had made a pact with the curse, these voices claim that there is no antidote, only the middle way, but they rule this server and they're united, more united than all other guilds. They are proud and they have reasons to be, cause no one can stand up against them.
I am in front of the entrance , and I hold my hand firmly on the door, I push it and I step inside: screams are crushing my ears, sounds made of swords crossed with another spelled metal are lost in shields, screams born from anger and pride of the defeated heroes are heard.
I am trying to get to the bridge that leads to the castle, as fast as possible. I finally managed to get there and I see only injured warriors, the smell of blood and burnt flesh is smashing my nose, wounded warriors trying to heal or to find potions for it , they try to recover, to get back into the front line as quickly as possible. The fight is heated, I disguise myself in the armor received from the Admin, and enter inside the throne room, a bloody fight takes place here, ATTACK and Hardcore still attacking, the points are divided, already one hour passed since this epic fight for supremacy started and everyone still have hope.
All the attacks ended in Squadrons defense, they are faster, more organized, stronger. Squadron begins to have good advantage and time starts to pass on their side , but nobody gives back, Squadron knows how to use all the advantages of the game, their Dark Lords are using their skills better than any other, protecting the switches, if they succeed means no one can kneel them. If using the power of Dark Lords horses intelligently to take and defend the switches, Squadron's warriors are impossible to be defeated, time passes and no one can reach Voyager's crown.
At the end of this fight, Squadron team wins, again, this time easily because they have the stronger core and because there is not yet a guild organized enough to deal with them.
In the past, this legendary guild named Squadron was the only obstacle in front of the GROM guild, now they are invincible, but back then they were torn by others and their start on Inception was apathetic, they made many mistakes, but now, these warriors are fighting to honor the legendary name they wear above their heads, a name that was and will always be legendary on the Old Squad.
After this Castle Siege, ATTACK guild started to be hunted by Hardcore top players and safe zones became more populated than ever. There are rumors that ATTACK played this time on Squadron's side (it is not like Squadron leaders wanted this), but the ATTACK guild focused more on entangling Hardcore and aroused their anger, so after the Castle Siege a not-so-cold war started between Hardcore and ATTACK, mafy and Mu3rTe killing them everywhere . 
At the end I will lift my hat and I will throw it away!  Good job to all guilds! If Squadron continue like this until the end of OldSquad, it will probably prove that they have the antidote and that the curse cannot bring them wounds !!

Hello, OldSquaders ! 
 
Around the winter holidays, Admin has prepared for the mu players from everywhere around the world a surprise, as we were used to: innovative. This brand new limited server aims to increase the number of the OldSquad Community members , therefore, if you have friends who missed the start of the Inception server and want to feel the vibrations of this game again (which after so many years still brings them to our hearts,) don't hesitate and tell them to join this new "Old Style" server.
Wormhole is a server which after 2 months of life will give players the opportunity to migrate to the Mother "Inception", where the real fights take place, where they will meet professional players and they will be able to fight with them, and to measure their strengths. They will have a lot of work to do, but Wormhole will bring them closer to the top, and, we hope, balance. 
These players will give us the refresh we expect, despite the bad mouths that say Admin wants to open new and new servers just to make money, as we are, also, very used to. Wormhole is a new evidence from Admin who wants to extend the life of a server, as much as possible, to give us longevity in the game and to make Old Squad have servers that after 6-7 months of life will still be populated by active players.
Some "voices" told me that in the future there will be many surprises from Admin to keep us connected to Inception, and I do believe this, let's see what he got !
 
I am convinced that Wormhole will arouse new players interest in OldSquad and that a large part of them will remain in our community. 
Let's wish them success and fun!
 

Two weeks have passed since you heard nothing from Reporter the Castle Siege. There were two weeks when Squadron "tuned" themselves with riches that others only dream of, items for which they did everything they could to have them and they succeeded! They took the castle and intimidated the entire server with their strategy until the other top guilds, battling with the curse became broken into pieces... well, not all of them, there is one guild  that seems to grow from week to week: ATTACK is the name of the guild that is keep absorbing power from top rankings with the acute desire for revenge, this guild grows slowly but surely and they begin to make their presence felt on the battlefield, but still Squadrons are on the wave, they seem unbeatable, during this time the other guilds tried to rebuild, but the server went through major transformations and they all lost ground against this guild that gives the impression that it is invincible. The Curse seem to be busy with HARDCORE, he has been following them since the server started and seem to ignore Squadron, or do they have the antidote? 
Last week, Castle Siege was a shadow of what it was in the beginning, HARDCORE had teamed up with Moldovians again, they attacked for about an hour, but they were defeated cruelly,  they couldn't even take the crown at least once , RedBull was dying, the organization was chaotic, and, of course, in the end they blamed the Admin, the reasons are that the server was unbalanced due to the fact that Rage Fighter is over powered and Oklahoma beats them easy, but did they see the guild organization and the "end game" items on this powerful char? some ask themselves: "Isn't it normal to kill everyone if you have end-game items in middle game life of server?" They had the castle for three weeks and what did they do with Lord MiX?"
They made Lord Mix sets for the chars that were strong in "that present", they did not think for the future, they did everything for the moment as it is in the threads of those who are individualists, some say they are great players, I can agree with them but I say that they are not a team at all, I have heard many in the last weeks and I am convinced that they can take Castle from Squadron with the power of unity. But at this moment HARDCORE is keep losing top players . 
The questions that arise from these events are the following: 
Is Squadron guild invincible?
Is Rage Fighter over powered? Is the server unbalanced because of this?
Can HARDCORE or ATTACK create teams that can compete vs Squadron at Castle Siege?
 

I have no idea what PVM points are currently used for, but they should indeed have a use. However, exchanging them for items you want breaks one of the mechanics that makes this game fun; the unpredictability. Whenever you can say, I'll do X, Y-times, then by Z-days I'll have the item, you remove unexpected surprises from the game. The chase is better than the catch; exchanging for items with 100% certainty seems cool—I would use it—but it comes close to Pay 2 Win and ultimately ruins the game.
Being able to exchange PVM points for BOKs (or jewels) however, that could work.

What has been your favorite Mu so far and why? What were the aspects that made the server awesome? You can talk about multiple servers or features of course.

My favorite non-reset server so far has been Mu Philippines (Mobius) because it had a large active and friendly player base and a thriving economy; it made you feel at home, and it tickled your fantasy. I still remember it as one of the most fun Christmas periods I had in games (next to Rose Online), and maybe in general as well. There were firecrackers everywhere for the holiday period, and loads of active and friendly people online. I can't place my finger on it, but there was a huge difference between the official Mu Global and Mu Philippines. In both the items were hard to find, but in Mu Philippines you actually felt the improvement while you were grinding. In Mu Philippines you could frequently look at the market after a day of gaming, and feel like you could buy something new. Not something huge, but a steady incremental improvement, which felt very satisfying. For instance, going from a Gladius to a Crescent Axe to a Morning Star. Not all in a day or in a week perhaps, but not in a month either, a healthy in-between. Whereas in most servers, the change is usually from shitty weapon to really good weapon; usually received from high level players who have a full vault and don't really care about the item. I know because I do this as well.
Especially apparent in Mu Global, you felt immersed into the Lord of The Rings fantasy world [Did you know Mu is inspired by LOTR?] because you had to explore the entire map from monster to monster. You had no other choice because the next level of monsters was usually too strong. Sadly, you can skip entire maps and monsters in nearly all Mu servers nowadays.
TL;DR: Economy, population, sense of fantasy & significance.

[Anyway, OldSquad has a lot in common I think. Not the economy, but the people and the sense of significance. I mean yesterday we were singing the tunes of the Pokémon intro in the /post chat.  It has probably been 10 years since I've had such a wholesome moment in an MMORPG. I like the grind in Mu, but only if it doesn't feel like a grind. If it is stale gameplay (a bit too hard, or too easy) I usually have fun for about a day, and stop playing altogether because I felt like I wasted loads of time. OldSquad doesn't feel like that even though the economy is a bit broken, something is definitely right. My guess is that its the steady progress experience wise and the nice people who play it. I'm having fun.]

My favorite reset servers, I guess, have been my own (The Lord of Mu - Trailer) and Mu Israel.
On my own private server I 'exponentially' increased all of the monsters' strength so you basically needed resets to be able to kill monsters in Devias, etc. My theory to why was fourfold:
The maps are freaking beautiful pieces of art that are meant to be explored. Most reset servers are just about picking a spot and staying there for the rest of your days, how silly is that? I know it's addictive, I've done it before, but it's a waste. Hunting should be like Mu Global, in which you can only beat the next category of monsters after some decent leveling or better gear, and not just because your level is now high enough to warp to a new map. People don't like to play on empty servers or predominantly AFK servers. An MMORPG is meant to trigger your sense of fantasy and exploration in a social setting. You can't hunt dragons with friends IRL, so that's a gap Mu should fill. So, when people are required to grind in the same map (or couple of maps) for a while, more people come across each other and the sense of community improves. The challenge. Reset servers are usually easy. But it should be possible to create a hardcore Mu (Philippines or Global) experience with resets. For instance, being able to have a reset even while wearing a leather set +5+8; a server where Dragon Armor feels special again, and Phoenix is godlike. (This is hard to tweak though, because at one point too many stats points render items redundant.) You can't AFK if you want to beat significantly better monsters. You have to work for significantly better gear. I also individually, proportionally, and mathematically increased all the items strength, and level from where it drops, according to the amount of items a class has and the amount of monster levels. Now, the difference in defence between Leather and Bronze armor is insignificant. I changed all these stats so changing from one to the next kind of armor actually made a difference. I also tweaked the strength of different kinds of weapons. For instance, an axe had way more base damage and skill damage than a sword, but was noticeably much slower, and used way more mana. I even added a skill to a Flail, small axe, kris, etc. to make it useful and valuable. Oh, and the more resets, the less points per reset you got. I tried everything to make a reset server as challenging and long term as possible.
  
I know I'm tooting my own horn right now, in the hopes of inspiring ADMIN to 'steal' some of the ideas above. I know it works, but it needs a great server to pull it off. I wasn't capable enough. Also, GlobalMu (the private server) has also increased monster strength so resets are needed for higher maps, and it works well. However, 80% of their online players are AFK and nearly all items are useless as you get the best super fast. It's not the wholesome experience as in OldSquad no reset.
Lastly, Mu Israel. This one goes way back. It was super fun because of the 200 points per reset and stats removed. And there were BOKs+1, and bless and soul in shop so you had to grind for money in order to buy those and create your favorite excellent option set +11. And how did you we grind for money? There was a bug in some Tarkan spot where the more people were in that same spot, the more the amount of zen dropped from one monster. So if one player was there only 30k zen dropped, but if 25 people were there, 3mil zen dropped. This was a bug (I think) that felt like a feature. Everyone was together in that one spot, and that was awesome. Hence the argument number 2 a couple of paragraphs above. Anyway, I'm not saying having BOKs or jewels in a shop is necessary for a good server with resets. I'm saying it for inspiration, to think about what mechanism behind it makes it fun.
I'm beginning to sound confusing for myself, so here I stop again. Looking forward to reading what great features I haven't come across before.
 

Well written but you did not escape the newbie POV. You need exc items with good options to go into CC - where the reward are high... You need ancient items to maximize what you could get in DS. Medal might give you a great +11 set with considerable defense but you will eventually experience the lack of damage and stagnation in farming. On the jewels drop, I burnt every single jewels I picked... luck option in this server is lower than the rest, making items +9 is quite a pain in the ass. Making wings burnt a lot of jewels as well, you could not get far without a decent wing 2.
It's true that new player wants to have fun and decent gameplay but only at first... the nature of MMO is competitive, you could not have fun if you could not enjoy the events of the game (DS,BC,CC...), could not enjoy the loot - get slaughtered during WW, rabbit, golden invasion or join a decent Guild. Notwithstanding what I said, you got some notable points.
Furthermore, every servers got some butt-hurt players, I buy items from top people all the time... honest and decency get you far... and I am lucky to get a Vicious set in the 1st month here but I know not everyone is as lucky. Someone I know try to get gaion set for months and willing to play hundred of jewels and tier 1 ancients for it. The demand are high leading to the somewhat equivalent price. Just sit back and enjoy the game. You will crave for jewels and items soon enough,
