Thanks for the appreciation, you can discuss anything related to NewsPaper here, it's made for everyone not just me.

New!

Flames and lightnings were seen, and thunders were heard in the Valey of Loren last Sunday. Castle walls were shaking, clouds of smoke and dust rose from the gates of the castle, a battlefield in its terrifying splendor, earthquakes that were felt in Lorencia, and the noise of the weapons and the screams terrified the church of Davias, the fight was unbelievable, Squadron did not let the guard down, not even for a moment ! Since the first assault they have continuously attacked, and, when they had to, they defended almost perfectly. I say these things because the fight was more balanced than the one that took place in the previous week, but Squadron lacked something.. A glimmer, a moment, they only needed a few more minutes, and they could've decided everything in their favor. This didn't happened because Rampage, as they used us to, were closer to perfection than Squadron, the difference was made only by the desire to succeed, when they defended all their Dark Lords were fighting as one, as if something mysterious was controlling them, they were defending the switch as if the last piece of life they had been dependent on that button. And the last 5 minutes were their key. ATTACK and Assasins guilds took part in this fight but were not yet ready for this fight, both guilds brought too few players, ATTACK failed to hold both switches in the same time to let ZaZaX register. Assasins started well, but were overwhelmed by the power of Squadron and Rampage, personally I was pleased to see these two guilds taking part in Castle Siege and I hope they will find solutions to become even more competitive! After this fight, Rampage came out to be the winner Guild, but something strange began to happen in this guild, which by brute force and organization dominated Inception for three weeks .... was hidden, seemed lost, everything it was so normal until now that I thought it had finally disappeared, but these first signs are already visible and I realize terrified of how cruel and ruthless he is, he sought weakness until he found it and when he found it showed the colts and started biting heavily from the most solid guilds on this server, this week the first signs that The Curse did not disappear were shown at Rampage, mafy and Trompeta left the guild after some internal fights, later this week I see RuSuLeTzZz offline, I try to find out what happened but I get hit by an unnatural silence, no one wants to say what happened and I don't understand anything. I take a look at the Squadron guild and I see that they have not escaped the ungrateful anger of this wretch Curse, Devex left the guild after this Castle Siege and there are rumors that he would like to go to the Rampage, Sc0pt also left and made a small guild in which he took some players. Because this new guild registered to Castle Siege there are some rumors that Squadron has joined the second guild to slow down Rampage on switches, Is this a new strategy? Or is the curse who leaves you for a while to believe that you have triumphed and hit you when you did not expect it, so fast and so strong that only the great Guilds manage to stand up and engage in battle with him again the next day.

Hello, OldSquaders ! Amazing event is coming!!!!!After the Soccer League and the Mini Tournament were announced, some Soccer games took place on the test server. The Stuns were shared between the players (using spells), alongside with Curses and Buffs, which are random. It was fun, challenging, and it seems that we (or the reward) have convinced the people playing on this server to at least try to play the Soccer at the Mini Tournament, at this moment 9 teams already registered. I have no patience until we discover the most talented players on the server, are there any Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi among us? If they are, and they play on OldSquad, they cannot hide from Reporter. I need their autographs and maybe interviews! If none of these football masters can be found here, I am convinced that we will find true SUPER STARS among our players, at their feet, the young Elves and the Summoners will throw roses , they will do everything to get their attention, and some will even faint !! After I saw these 9 registered teams I feel like this weekend we will see Europe League Quarter Finals and after Admin will bring this wonderful event on main server OldSquad , the Champions League will start!!!!!!!! I hope that until weekend comes, all the players will be in good shape, they all need training for that, so will be "no injuries" on official games, also I hope that all players that will play this weekend will read game rules, so Admin should not show "yellow" or "red cards" after those matches. Here are some screenshots from the "Training Ground": https://imgur.com/a/lwkL1QC Special thanks to 1GoD, WhiteRaven, Iwant2Fap, Ciello, Zbyszek, AdoRa, Gaffney, Chukundah and to all the players who involved in this event and helped Admin to release it!! Do you think you are in a good shape? Do you think that your skilled with the Ball? Do you want to be a superstar? Find 2 friends and register here (until next Friday 20:00 server time): https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3432-mini-soccer-tournament/?tab=comments#comment-31474 See ya "on the stadium", guys, and good luck for all the participants!!!

After a month and a half since the beginning of Inception, our top heroes have activated the second stage, and they started to dig a hall to bury the first Stage. The server will probably balance again, although this stage will be shorter than the other because the characters are much stronger, they get more experience thanks to the Mercenary Squad , and if they will do the experience events daily, probably in about 7 to 10 days they will break this Stage and we will finally enjoy the desired events like Illusion Temple, Gaion and Mirror Events, and another "big boss" will spawn (Bloody Queen). Also, another hot features will be unlocked in Stage 2: -access to Character Market; -you can upgrade the items on site up to +12, not +11; -access to PRO VIP; -the stats limit raised from 8k to 16k. When this stage will be over, an important moment of the game will start, because quest level 3 will be unlocked, alongside with the possibility to do the Master Levels. I am curious how the top will evolve and what strategies the most powerful players will adopt. Phoenix server showed us that those who played for Master Level and gave up resets were far more powerful than the players who played for resets and exp., of course we cannot compare Phoenix with Inception, but the Master Levels are not to be neglected, and those who will go this way will have to give up the normal levels and the top of the resets, in exchange for the sacrifice, players who choose to go after the Master Levels will gain time to fight for the top events and the riches they bring (Blood Castle 8, Illusion Temple 6, Devil Square 7). It is likely that these players will dominate the server in the short and medium term. I also have a question for the NewsPaper readers: What strategy do you, guys, think is the best?

New

Another episode was written by these powerful heroes who fight for the supremacy of Inception, it was a scandalous week, intense battle took place on the forum but also in the game. The most disputed ones were related to the riches of the Castle Siege and it is my obligation to write about them, I asked (as you well know) here and there, and all I can say is that some have appreciated these riches which, moreover, are not to be neglected. Some players said that it was too early to see items with 3-4 options on the server at the time, others said that the 380 lvl sets from Lord Mix are too easy to do, that they will unbalance the server and that Rampage will never lose the Castle. There are those in Rampage (and not only them) who say that it is normal for the guild that owns the Castle to have these privileges, they argue that it is not so easy to make these 380 items and that, besides the contribution of an entire guild they equip one character per week, they also provoke all the others who have no part of it to enter the fight and stop crying without taking part in this enchanting event. Admin argued that 380 items are not as powerful as the players thinks and that all the people who complain now have been indifferent or even asked in the past for Castle Siege to have better rewards to awake players interest in this event. The days passed one by one and Sunday came, bringing the most important event on the server, the war for supremacy. Rampage warriors sucessfully defended for the second consecutive week the castle, and as in the other weeks, several guilds have registered but only one has really dared to show, that is of course Squadron. This powerful guild led by Voyager knows the taste of riches from the Lot and Lord Mix. These brave warriors came to Castle Siege to end the Rampage era and to restore balance on the server, they want to take RedBuLL down from the "Iron Throne" and re-seat Voyager. They came prepared for a life and death fight and it was seen from the first moment when the assaults began. Rampage started defending with the parties divided on switches, intense fights took place on the both switches, Squadron managed to register with little delay, losing a little time that does not matter so much at first. Rampage regroups and conquers the castle on the first assault, the fight continues and the Crown moves from the head of RedBuLL to that of Voyager continuously, as if it does not know which head to choose . The first hour passes and everything is balanced, Rampage fail to distance with more than 1500 points and the Squadron fighters take courage, another 30 minutes pass and everything is equally balanced, we are at the most important moment of the fight, anything can happen, every minute, every second, every mistake matters enormously, wrong steps are not allowed at this point in the fight. Voyager puts his hand on the crown and Squadron equals Rampage to points. Those from Rampage return quickly to the throne room and RedBuLL registers successfully, then Rampage changes strategy, the whole guild defends a single switch and they manage to delay the Squadron warriors quite a lot, but eventually RedBuLL loses the Crown again, Squadron approaches dangerously, the score is as tight as any wrong step matter, Rampage take the crown again quick in the last 10 minutes but if Squadron manage to register one more time they will be winners... But the defense of Rampage resists, they are strong, a strong wall like a rock which repels all attacks, time runs out and Rampage manages to win this battle. A battle in which even the last 5 minutes mattered, it was sensational!!! Both guilds behaved professionally. At this moment, in the Rampage and Squadron there are only about 50 top players, not a single guild other than these two is able to recruit the rest of the top players and try to rise to their level? Why is Assasins guild still registering but not participating? Is it true what the rumors say and they don't want to attack Rampage because they are friends? They don't care about the LordMix or LoT? What about ATTACK Guild? Why they are sleeping ? What strategies will Squadron and Rampage develop considering that SD potions have been nerfed? Another highlight of this week is worth mentioning: Admin is testing and needs your support to release a new event that will be very fun!!! I hope you will find this event interesting it is called "Old Squad Soccer League", for more details please check the link: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3414-oldsquad-soccer-system-league/

Hello to everyone, As you well know, last Monday, around 19:30 server time, the first stage was passed by the founding heroes of Rampage, RuSuLeTzZz, Makiavelli and darkyo, those pro players with the other two guys from their permanent party (RedBuLL and Sparkle), are on the first places of the rankings since the beginning of Inception and they do not show any sign that they could be passed soon by anyone. The players who follow them in the top are: Devex (Squadron), npyxa (Assasins), Zutto (and his permanent party), those guys are with at least 24 hours behind them even after this stage has been exceeded. About this stage, as far as I know, was the longest in OldSquad history, it lasted for 17 days and gave the impression that it will last forever. To realize the impact it had on the reset rankings, just consider the fact that the heroes I have mentioned above, entered into this stage when they made the 5th reset and at that time the last place in the top 100 reset rankings had only 2 resets. .. during these two weeks some players who were left behind or who started later, recovered 2 or even 3 resets!!! The server was beautifully balanced by this mini stage and Castle Siege participants could see this in the latest battles for server supremacy. I think that they had the most balanced battles I saw on a reset server between two guilds. Marking the last steps of the Early-Game on Inception. New features were released, the EXP for 0 resets players is doubled, also the EXP for 1-4 RR is raised with 40%, in order for the newcomers to catch up. Also, OldSquad Mercenary Era is starting. Now, if you will register as a Mercenar, the Pvp experience will be totally changed? What do I mean? I mean that you are the hunter and the prey, at the same time. There are bonuses too. More details here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/2318-inception-pvp-system-all-details/ -Blast and Fire Scream spells were improved; -Bloody Witch Queen is dropping now 380 exc set items instead of GD/DM etc; -BOK +5 Goldens released; -Feather/Crest drop rate increased with 35%; -SD Potions Max Stack reduced from 3 to 1; -SD Potions SD rate reduced from 25% to 5% per potion; -Zen drop lowered.

Up Up!!!

New!!!

Hmm....I just said that the Assassins helped Rampage, I didn't say how many ... if it is misinterpreted, I will edit the article to be clear as crystal.

The last week was intense, the fights from Discord moved to the forum and, finally, into the game. The Squadron remained in the same position, proud, strong, unbeatable. Some fights took place for the only "big boss" that can be beaten right now: Nightmare. As far as I know, the score is equal to the battles between Rampage and Squadron for this boss (from what I've heard, they met and fought only twice), although RAMPAGE being more active they defeated Nightmare 7 times versus 1 time by the Squadron side. So, Rampage received as a "gift" from the other guilds on the server, 6 Nightmares in the last 10 days... Now let me tell you what happened at the Castle Siege, this event that can lift a guild on the heights of glory, or destroy it in just a few days with the help of the merciless curse: The big event came, sunny Sunday arrived with the greatest peace, so far on the server, the strongest guilds were making their strategies, SD potions were created faster than the new players were making zen, these warriors were preparing for the hottest Castle Siege in Inception's history, time was passing out slowly and the Siege started. Squadron, had the experience and unity on their side and the advantage of been defenders against the RAMPAGE guild ... Rampage started the assault, with a little help from the Assasins guild (Those Assassins who have been silent so far, started playing their card in this poker game called Castle Siege, they gave a helping hand to those in RAMPAGE, borrowing them a top player: KAMA3, I'm curious what they had won?),so, Rampage gives the first assault and overwhelms those in the Squadron right from the beginning, from the first attempt they manage to conquer the Castle, Squadron did not stepped back , they returned very quickly and recovered the loss. Everything was crazy, it was like jumping into a horror carousel for the first time, the fight seemed to last forever and nothing seemed to be lost for any of the guilds, until someone (I heard it was mafy ) found the "Achilles heel" and crushed Zutto for the first time on Inception and the Squadron started to shake.This guild that seemed invincible began to bleed from the wounds caused by RAMPAGE, the latter, feeling the "smell" , attacked like sharks and defended as a compact stone wall. Time runs out quickly and RAMPAGE gains precious points ... the fight ended, the pride of the Squadron was shattered and RedBuLL ripped the crown from Voyager's head. Now, the Squadron, from the Hunters becomes the prey and eagerly awaits the next Castle Siege to prove that it was a simple mistake, instead RAMPAGE, who have felt the taste of Squadron's blood, begin to believe superiors, same arrogance that (some voices say) haunted Squadron until they fell. Will Squadron have the power to return? Was it the Curse that overcame them or their arrogance? There are rumors that just a few days after the conquest of the castle, internal battles began to appear inside RAMPAGE. What the hell!! No guild holds the secret antidote against this Curse? Lands of trials only brings terror and chaos to the guilds that manage to be sufficiently united to conquer the Castle, but can't they resist greed? To these questions, time will probably answer us soon. I still hope to see that the evil can be defeated and that a guild sufficiently united will manage to break this evil Curse that kneels the guilds as a straw house is crushed by a tornado.

Hello everyone, I know that many of you have been waiting for this interview for a long time, so, as I promised you on Phoenix, let's get inside the mind of the most important man who devotes his time building for us new servers with lots of futuristic and interesting updates and manages, for so many years, the most stable and the most beloved servers on the market : Reporter: " Hello, Admin! To begin with, I want to thank you for all the effort you put into this server, because you successfully manage to bring us so much joy that we have only experienced in youth " Admin: " Hi there, I'm pretty happy if my work has brought up good memories about this game!" Reporter: " Can you reveal us your name? " Admin: " My name is Alex. " Reporter :" How old are you?" Admin: " I'm 23 years old. " Reporter: " Before you were server administrator and owner, you were a mu player. Can you tell us when did you started playing this wonderful game?" Admin: " I've started playing this game in the 3rd grade (so, around 14 years ago), finding it randomly on a website. It fascinated my kid brain and in few years (around 3-4) it started to be a real 'hobby' for me, playing hard-core for top on each new server, having a dedicated guild formed by loyal players." Reporter: " Have you been a player on this server?" Admin: " I've played at start of 2017 a little, to raise competition, as situation was bad at that times in terms of competition and had to personally rescue it. " Reporter: " Do you think about starting to actually be a player on your server?" Admin: " Nah, for me MU was either all-in (top, guild, active 12/24) or none at all, since I can't do the first one anymore I'm no longer interested in this game but I love working on it and making it the best around all the rest. " Reporter: " Since you built OldSquad have you ever played on another Server to steal configuration ideas or to copy the good stuff that other servers have?" Admin: " I didn't touched MU since 2017 except tests/support/events on our servers. Our objective is to innovate as much as possible, not stealing other's ideas, but others have stolen ideas from us " Reporter: " Can you reveal us your past nicknames(on your server or other servers you have played)? " Admin: " My most stable nickname was rEaDy. Used it for MU, DOTA1/2, WoW, HotS, Underlords. I played as Fenrir here once." Reporter: " How and when did you decide to create your own server? You did it alone?" Admin: " I've been running online communities since really young (around 14-15 years), owning CounterStrike servers & more. But the idea of OldSquad started just from an ambition. As I said, I was already bored of all the trash-servers I was playing with my guild, changing them weekly due to either Pay2Win aspects, bad balance or boring gameplay, so I told myself if I can't find what we are looking for, I'll just create one, with my own ideas and features, based on my experience. The fact that my domain was IT also helped a lot. But I never thought it would have such success, I just tried my best to create something unique & nice, as I always wanted to play." Reporter: " Since you opened the server many years ago, I bet you have had many battles, with hackers, cheaters, etc. How do you manage to keep the server stable after all these attacks? " Admin: " In the Internet era, security is a big aspect, we've encountered a lot of 'bad-guys' in these years, we've been through really bad times because of them, and I doubt that this will ever end, because it's a sensitive thing, that even the biggest companies around the world does have problems with, not saying a small private gaming server. But with patience, hard-work and support from our providers, we'll do our best to keep our project as stable as possible." Reporter: " How much time do you spend daily (on average) working behind "the curtain" to keep the server stable and bring game upgrades?" Admin: " I don't have a stable schedule, one day I can work 1 hour and other day I can work up to 16 hours, it all depends, but the average I would say 6-8 hours/day, except dead periods like summer when activity is really low so I don't have much to do. " Reporter: " Some people have judged you, some say you are too proud, you get angry quickly and you have often shown disrespect, how do you comment on this?" Admin: " I'm that kind of person that can be the greatest dream or the worst nightmare, depending on the people I face. I'm still a person behind the 'ADMIN', and I'll always act naturally, no matter the subject. I hate trash-talkers, but also ass-lickers. I've interacted with over 1000 different persons during these years, and the most people have 2 faces, which I also hate and it some-how 'marked' my own character. " Reporter : " In the past I heard rumors that you sold items for money "on order" to some players, is it true?" Admin: " On the first server, the Season 4 one, I made such compromise, as we didn't had any VIP-System or credits system to sustain the server, and I was running out-of-student-funds to continue the project, so I had to do such thing in order for the project to survive. " Reporter: " Last year I heard players saying that you open new servers every 3-4 months just to make money, how do you comment on these accusations?" Admin: " The concept is pretty easy to understand. We'd love to have a server that lasts a looot of months (active, of course), meaning no extra work for us and just focusing on a single product. But, sadly, it's not the case, it was proved multiple times that people leave the game after few months, no matter how good the server is (they are just getting bored, and I understand somehow, looking at me when I was a player). But when one competitive guild leaves, it creates a hole in the gameplay, de-motivating the other competitive guild to play. So it creates a chain-leave between competitive players, leaving mostly casuals, or new players on server, that are also de-motivated to sustain a 'dying' server, which means basically close to 0 donations after first 2-3 months. Taking into account that costs to sustain such community, at this level, there are 4 digits in euros per month, I personally can't afford holding them alone, so we use the other servers/editions to sustain the older ones. It's easy to judge without seeing the full picture, from people that are just looking at themselves, wanting the best for them, no matter the circumstances, but it's not that easy, and in the end it's about us first and the future of us, not about them, people come and go, OldSquad remains. " Reporter: " I know that during these years you had ups and downs with the server, have you ever been so disappointed by the bad mouths that you want to shut down the server? Can you reveal some of these moments to us?" Admin: " Up to 1 year ago I was really sensible, knowing how much I work for this community and people always throwing shit at me when the things went bad, appreciating only when the things were as they want. But I stopped caring about such things and I started just to focus on my goal, ignoring such people/comments. I don't think I ever wanted to shut down the server, there were moments of uncertainty, but that moments have never reached that point. " Reporter: "When was the time when you had the greatest joy / fulfillment related to the server? Can you describe it to us?" Admin: " There were, multiple times, especially after fixing/solving a game-changing problem. But, I think the greatest moment was to see 3 really good and balanced guilds/alliances fighting at a Castle Siege, I think one of the first CS-es from our previous Max30RR." Reporter: "In these years, I'm sure you have had players you have admired or appreciate... What did you like about them? Can you name them?" Admin: " I don't think it's about admiration/appreciation, it's just about liking a mentality. I liked a lot of players during years, many of them proved to be double-faced, sadly, but there are still enough people with mentality that I like, especially those that know how to address a problem/issue without crying and bringing both arguments and solutions to the discussion. Some of them are DIEE, salam (Aqvila) and more." Reporter: "What kind of players do you respect and what kind of players make you the most upset?" Admin: " As I said previously, I do respect brained people that know how to address problems and, also, the realistic ones that look at things with realistic eyes, without exaggerating or saying things far from truth (example: I lost upgrade at + xx multiple times, your game is bugged/rates are not true!). I don't suffer criers and trash-talkers, I have more empathy for a hacker than for those kind of persons." Reporter: "Have you ever had a time to make a decision (ban someone or something) and then regret it? How did you proceed next?" Admin: " Just like any person in my position, I made both great decisions and bad decisions, usually the bad decisions are impulsive (not taking the time needed to think about them, just a fast act). A decision which I regret was on Phoenix, where I banned few players without thinking, when the "sessions-problem" was happening - even though it was not their fault, despite being their account, didn't thought that the actual robber was just on their accounts. I declined their request to re-think their ban at first, acting impulsive, but then, the next day, I thought a lot about it, and realized that it was not their fault, so I contacted them and apologized for my acts, unbanning them and giving them few days of VIP for free as compensation." Reporter: "Can you tell us what were the biggest problems you faced on Phoenix? I remember that at one point donations did not turn into credits, how did you repair the situation?" Admin: " To be honest, Phoenix had the least problems from all our projects, and also had the best gameplay (in my opinion). The only "bigger" problem on Phoenix was the problem with sessions, where people would be logged in on different accounts on website. We fixed it in the end by forcing sessions to stick to IP, so on any IP change they would log-off automatically. There was also the problem with Paypal credits, but that wasn't a problem from us, it was simply their API being bugged for some days, until they fixed it, not sending the callback to our (and any) website when the payment was completed, so the website wouldn't give the credits without Paypal confirmation of payment, despite it being done." Reporter: "At one point, if more than 500 players were logged (on Phoenix start), there were lots of lags and disconnects, and the AFK players had to be disconnected, what happened? How did you fixed the situation?" Admin: " Ehm, almost forgot about it, yes, it happened on first days of Phoenix, DataServer was restarting every 10 minutes after reaching more than 500 players online, causing disconnect-reconnect to players and also a small roll-back. While we were testing different possibilities of solutions, we had to keep the players under 500 so it won't disturb server with disconnects, so we were staying in low maps and looking for AFK chars from towns to disconnect, in order for the new active players to join and the number to remain < 500. In the end, the only thing that fixed it was to switch to a different windows version on our machine, as most probably something was corrupted inside, nothing else was working out." Reporter: "Last year you had to ban most GR0M members, how hard was it for you to make this decision? Did you know what impact this action had on OldSquad, and yet you took it ..." Admin: " GROM was always a double edged sword. The good part was that they were very active and they were creating competition on server, the bad part is that they were always the ones to do shits, when they were losing. Starting from CS anti-games, dramas, up to hacks and in the end, bug-abuses. To be honest, I never regretted a second, when the ban came, as I was completely sure that our community will be much healthier and less toxic without them. And it was proven on Phoenix, atmosphere was great without them. I'll always stick to my principle that quality is more important than the numbers." Reporter: "Have you been approached by GR0M members after this decision? Can you tell us what they said?" Admin: " Ofc, after the ban some of them came with insults, others with threats, others with trash-talks about us, just GROM things, but ofc nobody have fully read their messages, facebook block works like a charm. Then, when Phoenix started, few of them asked me to unban GROM, just like on Inception start, but it won't happen. 2 of them passed by on Inception with new IP's / devices, but not for long." Reporter: "Everyone says donations are making a big profit for you, is that true? Can you reveal us numbers?" Admin: " There is of course a profit, but not even close to how much a mediocre IT guy would take at a normal job, for the same time allocated. And that's because one month can have a good profit, but the next 3 months can have 0 profit, and even minus, in terms of project costs. Not even talking about the responsibilities that I have and the multitude of domains except technical domain I must touch, learn and master, including Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Q/A, Support, compared to a standard job. What I personally did for almost 4 years alone is usually spread in teams of enough members. But as long as I am doing what I love to do, I still prefer it over any normal job, as long as there is still a profit." Reporter: "What has been the hardest decision you've ever made since you created OldSquad? Did you consulted anyone? (detail, please)" Admin: " That's a good question. There were a lot of hard decisions, from decisions to try new things out (like stages, dynamic exp systems, the now well known Current of no EEs, etc.) up to decisions of nerfing a lot the VIP exp, closing NonReset project, giving Max50RR a second chance on this new formula of mother-kid server, etc. On some of the decisions I consulted Legion. Probably the hardest decision I ever made was to start the project from 0, on different files, after it was hacked in 2017, instead of quitting it. But I believed in my dream of creating the best MU community for the hard concepts." Reporter: "Can you give us more details about this "mother-kid" project? There are rumors that you wanted to quit max 50 resets because it was a failed project. " Admin: " Max50RR was the first and only non-hard server we made, with a medium experience. I don't think it was a true fail, as it was pretty popular, but the fact that it only lasted for 3 months of active play, and almost completely dead after those 3 months, was clearly a sign that it's either not our niche or it simply can't work on the long term, due to the fast-paced game, where people complete it pretty fast. As we don't like to work on a project that only stay alive that long, we just wanted to quit the project and focus on what lasts longer. But one day I was thinking about how we can increase even further the life-span of our servers, mainly Max30RR, and came up with the idea of mother-kid concept. In this concept, the players that got bored of Max30RR in time and quit it, have an alternative to join it, with higher character and gear, by playing on such seasonal Max50RR, that lasts only for 100 days, and then being transferred to Max30RR to continue the journey. Basically, in this way, we're encouraging both old players to rejoin it and also new players to join our community through Max50RR, while Max30RR players just stick to Max30RR, without strong reasons to join Max50RR and leave Max30RR. It's something totally new that it's worth at least a try, I'm not completely sure it will be a success, but at least it can be marked as "tried". Only time will tell." Reporter: "Where do all these innovative ideas come from?" Admin: " I guess it's a combination of brained person, huge dedication, big experience with the game as a player and the will to be the best in what I do, in this case, our servers. Some ideas come out of nowhere, some ideas come late in the night, when I try to sleep, some ideas are just a result of multiple brain-storms in multiple days." Reporter: " Since Inception started, I've had moments where I saw over 600 characters online, how does it make you feel when you see your work giving fruit trees?" Admin: " I can't say it does not feel good to see big numbers, but for me it's much more important the overall quality of gameplay than the numbers. If the quality is right, numbers will be no matter what, but the opposite can't be true." You all know i have interviewed some VIPs on Phoenix and on Inception servers, so here are their questions for Admin, I know that some answers have already been given by the admin through updates in game, but it is my duty to put them all on the sheet and let the admin to answer, if you solved the problems please detail . " Catarina: "Some time we kill boss and we don't get rewards....or boss left map when invasion is not finished, try fix that" (it is not actually a question, it is a message, but it was his wish) Admin :" I guess it was fixed on some of the updates." Ganja :" Why EEs are banned from IT, when SM has just as much impact, as MS has 39% abs, and ERF can buff party to 4k hp ?" Admin : " We've came with the solution of personal-buffs-only in IT, to match the concept. " Ganja : " Can you make an event like Loren Deep, but really weak mobs in there, so newbies can kill them and get items, maybe like CW event but for new players? Admin: " We've thought about it, but nothing serious yet. " Ganja: " Can you get more GMs, to be more involved with community? I am not talking about auto events like 20 questions, there is a lot of fun stuff a GM can do. " Admin: " I don't like to depend on others, especially on people I don't know/trust. There are always discussions about favoritism & fairness, which I want to avoid. But Gion is filling that gap anyway. " Ganja: "Can you improve navigation for help section on forum? Maybe add a Getting started FAQ or something ?" Admin: " We've made some changes to forum, we're still open to ideas to improve it. " Coco : " Why I failed so many feather and w3? Are the chaos machine rates for real? Can you change CS time to Sunday and reduce it from 2 hours to 1 hour? " Admin: " Bad luck bro, there is no point in showing 'fake' rates when I can just show lower-rates if I want them lower, nothing holds me from doing that. Time was changed to Sunday, CS will always last for 2 hours." FKingCunt: "What can you do to have more people on server? What can you improve about CS to be more interesting? What can you improve in gameplay/bugs? " Admin: " We do everything we can/know to have more people on server(s), the problem is that the player-base might be getting lower, not our efforts. CS is already interesting, it just needs enough competition for it, mainly at least 3 guilds participating, constantly. We're constantly improving the gameplay and fixing any bugs we can fix. Some bugs are just un-fixable. " Javaraya :" Please use donations to buy new season GS files, I want to try and play the new things. " Admin: " We did it already. 2020 may bring it officially. " Almighty : " How much time you spend working on OldSquad all projects weekly?" Admin: " I already answered such question in the interview. " Aqvila : " When will the next non reset edition come? Admin plays the game as a regular player? Did Admin had any servers before OldSquad? " Admin: " It will come on S14, somewhere on the next year. I don't play. I had one tentative of season 2 server long time ago, when I was running a CS community, but nothing serious. " DIEEEEEEEE :"Why I am so unlucky??( kidding) I have no question for him." Admin: " Cheers, mate! " RedBuLL :" Admin, when season 14 will be released?" Admin: " It will take a lot, we must first learn everything is included in S6+ (and as a tip, the difference between 97d and season6 is much smaller than difference between s6 and s14) from the perspective of players, before actually working on it, else it's just a bunch of random things throwed up together. If we'll ever release our non reset project on S14, we must make sure that it will be an incredible experience, not just "another s14 server". " Zutto: "Free Chuk , No but seriously... What are your plans right now if your got any to work out the speed issue classes are having? " Admin: " The only bugged skills are Chain and Chaotic, nothing else. The only elegant solution we currently have is to make Fire Scream and Blast their replacement, by cloning their stats. More info in the new patch. " Reporter: " Thank you very much for your time and for your honest answers , I will do my best, as always, to bring the truth to light and to animate the forum, as I promised you since Gion "hired me" . Admin: " Thanks for the interview, hopefully things are more clear now. Keep up the good job! :)" On the record : when I accepted this "job" as a reporter I expected to write and do everything that goes through my head(I am free to do this anyway) but I was hit by the professionalism of these people Gion, Admin and Legion and I was shocked, the first thought was to give up the job (as some of you know, I do not speak or write the perfect English Language, but when I get involved and I put my soul into what I do I don't give up easily and I'm glad I got to know these people who are probably much more stubborn and perfectionist than myself ) and I can not give up easily, so I managed to earn their trust and with small victories, I managed to do this job to rise to the expected heights, I am the second hired reporter and, believe me, if you do not put your soul into what you do, you have no way to have support and succeed in everything!

Last week we had the first true Castle Siege on Inception: the Guild Squadron, that dominated the server since the first week, defended the crown against the guild RAMPAGE (guild built by former Squadron members). They were the only guild who had the courage to register and even attack Squadron, I am saying this because anyone who knows the history of Inception Castle Siege knows that since the server started, several guilds registered every week, but no one had the guts to participate. The beginning was incredible, RAMPAGE had a first lightning attack and RedBuLL registered quickly, transforming RAMPAGE in defenders even from the first 30 minutes. Squadron, led by Voyager, regrouped fast and went in, in a storm attack. The fight was tough, Squadron had some failed attempts, but they managed to regain the status of defenders. What followed was pure insanity, after the first hour of intense fighting the score was balanced, the fight hotter than ever, each guild organizing and changing strategies on the go, but then something happened, RAMPAGE was losing more time than Squadron with organizing assaults, and the warriors from RAMPAGE fell more often than Squadron's in the Throne Room, giving free points to Squadron. Also, RedBuLL started to be attacked seriously and even Squadron started to break off in score, moreover RedBuLL began to be defeated by trying to seal, all the details began to count as time was passing by, and the number of points received by the defense guild increased. Squadron distanced from RAMPAGE and, in the end, they were still the Masters of the Land of Trials, keeping the crown on Voyager's head in the most important Castle Siege so far. I said "so far" because not all the functions of the castle are yet activated, the brave warriors from Squadron will only be able to enjoy Ancient Drops this week, following that after the next Castle Siege, besides the ancients, the guild that owns the castle will be able to benefit from the most important treasure at this time of the game, a treasure that, properly managed, can strengthen a guild to such an extent that it can become invincible, this treasure is called Lord Mix . After this amazing Castle Siege, some people said that RAMPAGE lost this fight because of their organization, others argue that it was because of their main party including the guild master was 70 levels below the main party of the Squadron. They also say that because of this RedBuLL died 3 times in the throne room, other people say that RedBuLL died because he did not have a correct stats build or was in lack of SD potions. After this Castle Siege six Squadron warriors were ranked in top 10 player vs player: The "invincible" Zutto who again smashed everything in his path, accumulating over 100 kills only in this Castle Siege, Rampage warriors did not find the heel of this Achilles, in conclusion was not even defeated once; Exillia ranked the second, he accumulated over 70 kills, and he was defeated only 10 times; Snajper is ranked number 4 with over 40 kills and only 8 deaths; FKingCunt is ranked no. 6 because he killed RAMPAGE players over 40 times and he has 12 defeats. Ranked number 8 is Trippy with 37 kills and 6 deaths, and last, but not least, is hAse, which has accumulated 36 kills and died only 9 times. On the other side, there are only 4 RAMPAGE warriors in top 10 Castle Siege player vs player rankings: Ranked no. 3 , WhiteBK was the best killer of RAMPAGE guild, killing 60 times Squadron players and registering 30 defeats, ranked no. 5, Ganacci has 46 kills and 19 deaths. darkyo is ranked no. 7 because he flamed 37 Squadron players and died only 4 times; Sparkle ranks 10th in this ranking, with 28 kills and 21 defeats. Some questions seek answers after this Castle Siege, and these are the following: Did RedBuLL and the others took The Curse with them when they left Squadron ? Immediately after this defeat strange things happened to RAMPAGE, Fatman erased his character, and the members from mafy's party were seen sleeping among the "secondary characters" in Icarus, while the Squadron looks like a united and stable guild, apart from the fact that they lost Snajper who wanted to change camps and join the RAMPAGE guild, but after leaving the guild, Oklahoma took all the items and credits from his account. If Squadron will lose the castle this week, will the Curse make its presence felt in this guild? When will the other guilds wake up? The Assasins seem more sleepy than ever, they lost DIEEEEEEEE ("voices" say that internal fights related to drops made this hero leave the guild ) and I didn't see any recruitment that could replace the loss of a player as active as DIEEEEEEEE. TheRiper probably will not count even if they would want, because of 2 resets average players. Immortal registered again, but they have only 1 party "alive" and it's way too low. Other questions arise in the minds of the players from Inception, questions related to Squadron, this desired and controversial guild , which has all the spot lights on it : Is it normal after you help someone to leave the guild and "change camps" without being punished ? Is it normal to punish former guild members by trying to ban them with posts from the guild chat? Some players claim that you have to pay for treason, the same people claim that insults should be punished no matter what chat they are written on. On the other side, there are the players who claim that what the Squadron did was shameful, especially because they also took the credits from the account, and about guild chat that should never go public. Which of them do you think is right? You can leave us messages as a reply to this topic.

New!

@Teranu if you ask me, the experience I have accumulated tells me that it is just about organization and you can easily take castle siege even at the same power level

This interview is about Zutto, one of the best Blade Knight player that OldSquad ever had, I am trying to get this interview since Phoenix, and I finally got it. Probably we have different active time hours since I am "hunting" him down for months. So let's hear what this nice guy has to say: Reporter: " You are the first player on Hall of Fame, Arena Tournament, and Castle Siege rankings, most of the players say that you are one of the best Blade Knight player that was seen on OldSquad , Congratulations!!! " Reporter: " How did you manage to achieve that fast so many hall of fame trophies? Can you reveal us "the secret"? " Zutto: "Thanks, I try to only aim for the "pvp"... trophies, so not a lot of work really . Isn't really any secret behind it, I mean ..Play a class you like and stick with it. " Reporter: " Do you have a permanent party ? How many members (real players ) does it have? Can you name them?" Zutto: "I do have a perma, and I am so happy for it. 5 members: "Boyager, Oklahoma, Trippy and FkinGCunT " Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you guys got together?" Zutto: "Ohh, feels like ages ago, and to be honest I don't remember the whole story. I started Oldsquad a few years back now, alone, not knowing anyone on the server. I think i played with DEADCATS back then, but somehow I met up with Squadron, and they adopted me like a stray kitten , ever since then I've been playing with them." Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing mu OldSquad (average)? " Zutto: " I would say about 4 h - ish." Reporter :"When did you started to play Mu Online? " Zutto: "I started on wigle, back in 2003? Miss those times " Reporter : "How you found OldSquad ?" Zutto: "Searched on top 100 mu servers and it came up around 2017. " Reporter :"What nicknames you had in past?"" Zutto: "Always Zutto. " Reporter: "Do you have any VIP activated? You have this VIP since you started Inception?" Zutto: "Yes, I got VIP, used it since start. " Reporter: "What type of VIP and why? " Zutto: " Hunter, just because of higher exp bonus." Reporter: "But, do you think dealer is not good ? " Zutto : " Dealer is great actually, but I wanna squeez extra exp out " Reporter :"Because you are the best Blade Knight on the server to reset, can you reveal us a few tips about Blade Knight pvp build? Can you reveal your stats ?"(Zutto was first Blade Knight on reset rankings when I interviewed him). Zutto: "Tip I would give to practice your combo, get used to your atk speed and play with sound, I can't combo without sound , I wouldn't want to reveal my build, If still working on it myslef, I usually don't like high stats builds. " Reporter :"What advice would you give to a player playing on this server for the first time, what should he do to get to the top places? How he should build stats on Blade Knight on beginning ?" Zutto: "Try to find a stable party, it will be so much easier that way, then forget about going on top sets,try to go for a common easy one with good opt and as a BK, you have to find a build that suits your playstyle. " Reporter :"What strategy do you have for the future?" Zutto: "To keep what we doing now, farm Icarus and keep doing resets, and keep try help each other gear in the guild... and ofc keep RAMPAGE out of lot " Reporter :"Do you think there is a character in the game that can beat your BK in a 1 versus 1? Zutto: "There are for sure classes I fear, I tend to have problem with wizards and MGs, but any specific person right now, nope. It's still so early." Reporter:" Do you think Blade Knight has any weakness versus another character in player versus player?" Zutto :" Hmm, well, weakness would be I say that it takes more to be "good" at BK compared to some other classes, we usually don't out dmg we outlast battles." Reporter :"You are number one Blade Knight in our reset rankings and your permanent party is divided into the top, FKingCunt and Trippy are close to you but Voyager and Oklahoma were left behind, what happened? Zutto: "Yeah, we had a rough start, Oklahoma and Voy keept dying, loosing time at spot, so they fell behind, we decided to hammer without them, reset solo etc. Isn't really good, Oklahoma and Voy would have a hard time ... " Reporter: "They were not enough active? " Zutto: " To catch up with us, we try to cover each other, but sometimes it ain't possible, but from now on, I think we aim to reset together " Reporter: " You learned from the other party this lesson? If I remember right you over passed them since resets started but always you were left behind" Zutto: " We always knew we can't catch them, it was just lucky for a short moment " Reporter: "Are they not catchable? " Zutto : " For us, at least, we ain't as active as them , they got good team to cover most of the day." Reporter: " Some players say it's impossible to have so much successful combos, they say that you use macro or some softwares to help you. How do you comment on these statements?" Zutto: "This one I heard pretty much everyday for one that never plays BK it might be hard to land combos, but at the atk speed we are talking about it is a child play, it's 3 buttons " Reporter: "What happened to the other two top parties, why they left Squadron? Is it true that they were expelled because they were selfish? " Zutto: "Well, I try to stay out of things like this, I will call them red and mafy party, mafy left because red party left, they been friends for ages and wanted to play together, Red and his friends in my opinion wasn't playing as guild. " Reporter: "So, they were selfish?" Zutto :" To me, you cannot KS guild members on Invasion's, It's called helping." Reporter: That's bad, they KS own guild? " Zutto : " I mean, if you can't accept others helping to kill golden's and you don't want to follow simple rules we have, It's not going to work out, and it didn't. We share everything, we don't sell, I am not saying they refused to share stuff but it was always with an attitude... Even tough, they did help us a lot but I think actually was good in the end, now we have more competition on the server." Reporter :" Does Squadron have an enemy guild?" Zutto: " No, not yet I would say. But that might change later on " Reporter: " What about RAMPAGE, because the guild's founders were expelled from the Squadron, aren't they your enemies?" Zutto: "I wouldn't say it's an enemy guild, not in my eyes at least, it's competition " Reporter :" Do you think Squadron has the power to defeat any guild at Castle Siege this week?"" Zutto: " At the current state, yes. But that could change in few days, Rampage already made some big changes, and yeah, I think they are a new guild with a lot of new people that needs to learn play in a team. And I don't think that they prepared for this CS, they didn't really had any people for switches" Reporter: "So they are Noobs ?" Zutto: " Maybe they thought they could win like that or they just didn't had the right people tonight." Reporter: " They were close at start, what made the difference? What strategy did Squadron adapted when you saw that you are losing?" Zutto : " Someone em.....Boyager was telling us to kill "Rampage", we are still trying to find that player named "Rampage" Strategy changed a bit during the game, we noticed how weak their "stampers" were, so was easy for just a few players to pick them off, while others focused on RedBuLL , then the typical: stack on switches, etc." Reporter :" Does Squadron guild have rules related to drop, invasion, sharing/selling things, etc. ?" Zutto: "We try to keep everything inside guild, 90% of the stuff is given away free or for a small symbolic fee, but it's quite simple : you help guild out, give items and items shall be given back " Reporter: "Why you do not have wings level 2 yet? Zutto: " Just my luck, always late for wings level 2. We have a few wings lvl 2 but no bk so far " Reporter :" Do you read the News Paper ? " Zutto: " I do, and keep hearing voices " Reporter: "You are Zutto from Phoenix server, right?" Zutto : " That's right." Reporter : "Have you read the Castle is Cursed chapters?" Zutto: "Yes, I did. " Reporter :"Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed?" Zutto: "Greed can do a lot to a man, but I am not sure if I can call it a curse yet. If it's a curse, we will break it ! " Reporter :"But have you seen what happened to the guilds that held the castle? If it is not the "curse" (which can be defined by greed, selfishness and pride), what could it be to destroy the most of the guilds in that way?" Zutto: " That's a good question, and I'm not sure what else it could be just yet, if it truly is cursed ... We will find out soon, won't we?" Reporter:" So, you do believe in the Curse, so your guild is searching for antidote?" Zutto :" I'm not gonna jinx anything, but time will tell" Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper?" Zutto: "I think someone mentioned it before, maybe. It was in last one? I can't remember but drama is always fun to read " Reporter: "But always is drama, server starts too soon and ends too early" Zutto : "What do you mean?" Reporter : "I mean servers are not long time playable anymore but never mind it is my thinking ^^, let's move on" Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like this server?" Zutto: "I would put it as an 8, always are ways for improvement " Reporter:" Like? " Zutto :" Biggest one is version, Admin spoke briefly about it before, but I think it's time to move on, older versions sure has its charm, but to go bigger we need something new." Reporter :"If you could ask ADMIN any questions, what would be the most important ones that comes through your mind ? " Zutto: "Free Chuk , No but seriously... What are your plans right now if your got any to work out the speed issue classes are having? " This was Zutto's interview, a nice guy, a top Blade Knight player (probably the best that OldSquad ever had). Thank you, Zutto, for time and patience, good luck!

Last week it seemed rather monotonous, like it resembled its previous week, and the long-awaited Castle Siege has finally arrived. And guess what? Squadron led by Voyager won easily, as in the previous week, without any guild, like Assasins or LegendS, daring to even try to fight such a force. Also, on Sunday things seemed quiet, and I say they seemed quiet because they hid a storm inside the most appreciated and respected guild on the server, all players without guild dreamed to get there, or if not in the main guild at least in the secondary guild, Squadron even recruited a few players in this secondary guild (Addicted ) and the other guilds seemed afraid to try to shake off this force that has dominated the server since its first week of life. So it is Sunday, in the air is a silence that announces nothing special, this silence haunts the server that seemed asleep and that nothing spectacular can happen, and yet a light breeze announces a horrific scandal that shakes this legendary guild called Squadron from the ground and the first signs be seen in the top 10. I was just checking this top when I saw that two of the five heroes leading reset ranking were out of Squadron : the first Summoner on the server (RuSuLeTzZz) and the first elf (Sparkle) had no guild. Within few hours all the members of this party were out of Squadron. I tried to investigate, to find out what happened, but all I could find out was that they were expelled because of internal fights. Some questions started to appear : The real reason they were expelled by Voyager is because they were selfish? Or did they come out because they believed themselves superior? They have not been seen in the Valley of Loren at any castle siege so far and darkyo has remained outside the Squadron for a long time at server start. After only one day, a new guild was born, or better said reborn because I have seen this guild name in the past on this server. Guild name is RAMPAGE and the master is the first Dark Lord on the server, RedBuLL. Another day or two passed and another five of the top 10 members(mafy, Ganacci, WhiteBK, Fatman and Trompeta) left inside, have been excluded from this guild that holds the supremacy of the server. Were they also excluded by Voyager? Or they left Squadron to join their friends in RAMPAGE guild ? But if they gave up the Squadron to join RAMPAGE, why didn't they join this guild yet? RAMPAGE already looks like a strong guild (it's number one in the top guilds) but if these 5 heroes join, the balance would lean in their favor. As for the Assassins, what I don't understand is that although they have very active players like KAMA3 , DIEEEEEE or UbivAshKa, who kill the golden's as if they had a spot with them, they have not yet actively participated in the Castle Siege. Was it because Land of Trial had no value until now? Or because they don't have enough active members? Legends seem to be stable but without great ambitions, probably building in the medium or long term because they have not been, until now, seen as a guild that has the courage to fight for supremacy. Another question comes to my mind, Shinigami is an alt ? He is very active in invasions and if he does not have a guild so far, it is probably because he wants to do everything by himself or because it is an alt!? Judging by the signs, Squadron seems to be struggling hard with the curse and remaining without 10 top players will have problems defending the castle this week, IF any of the 3 guilds mentioned above will have the courage to face them.

As you probably already expected, when you saw the title of this article, this is the first chapter in the history of the top guilds fighting for Inception supremacy. That being said, let me tell you what has happened so far since Inception started : Squadron guild easily took the first castle siege and relaxed, the main party members didn't even show their views inside Valey of Loren at this first siege. I have asked here and there and this is what I heard: some people say that they aren't actually inside guild since darkyo didn't joined Squadron yet, these voices say that they are selfish and full of experience, knowing that no guild on the server will even be able to scratch the force that Squadron has, they have remained relaxed on the spot, especially since Land of Trial has no value at this time. Other gossips and rumors say that the second party in this guild is nothing worse, being selfish and not expecting members of the same party after giving reset, just to reach the others from the top, even if they are from the same guild. But always all the jealous mouths speak evil of the powerful and it is clear that the Squadron can only be defeated by being caught on the wrong foot, otherwise the only chance is for the Assassins and Legends guilds to unite. Saying these I reach, and I agree with the Chukundah who said in the previous article that any guild is likely to recover the not-so-big difference between the Squadron and the others. Assassins are doing well, they are already climbing to the most important top rankings and are becoming stronger, but I do not believe the whispers that are heard and I do not think that Legends and Assassins are thinking of uniting, from what I know. Although fewer in number than Squadron, they are very well organized and very active, some whispers I have caught flying say that some of them are truck drivers, and that they play remotely from tablets or directly from laptops, so, they are active, united and experienced "old" players on OldSquad, all they have to do is continue to ambitiously climb to the top and they will be serious competitors for Squadron. PRiME guild kept its core from Phoenix, but had a slow start, we will see how it will evolve in the near future. Latin and TheRiper guilds are newly formed and, as you can see, they started having reset players. These are good signs that show that they will strengthen and that they will probably have a word to say in the battle for the server supremacy. Related to the guild LegendS, I can say that at this Castle Siege came 3 or 4 players, who probably got bored and tried some little "pvp fun", but without having any hope that they could take the castle from the hands of the Squadron. I heard rumors that they have players in the guild with a lot of experience, I think this guild has a healthy start and that we will hear from them for a long time from now on and that they have the opportunity to recruit and develop the top players. Immortal guild seems to have missed the start but grows steadily and surely, it is the first server they play from the beginning so they still have to learn, but I am confident that in the future they will fight the titans and will probably become one among the guilds that move the pieces on this chessboard called Castle Siege. I hope these guilds will reach Squadron's power, and I hope to see a permanent fight between at least three guilds with similar powers, and the best to join the laurels of victory and the riches of the land of trials. Regarding The Curse, so far, the following questions are seeking answers, which surely time will gradually reveal to us: Will this arrogance not shake Squadron from the ground? Do these brave warriors not invoke the curse of the castle thinking they can defeat it? Are they sufficiently united? Does Voyager have the antidote?

Hello again, This interview is a about RedBuLL, he is the first player to achieve the most desired thing at the moment on Inception, the first Reset! This interview had two sessions, so if some questions doesn't seem up to date that is the main reason and I think I could talk to him endlessly . Reporter: " You are the first player to get a reset on Inception server. Congratulations!!! " RedBuLL : " Thanks, mate! You should also congratulate Makiavelli and Rusuletz. They were almost all the time online. " Reporter: " How did you manage to achieve this first reset, can you reveal us "the secret"? " RedBuLL : "Its not a big deal. I play with 4 good and old players of this server. We make a good team. And it's not about me, it's about all the party. I was the 1st player because I was the most inactive from the party haha. " Reporter : "Did you expect, a week ago when you started playing, you to get the first place and to be the first to reset ? " RedBuLL : "I was expecting to be in top 10 because, as I said, I play with Makiavelli in party 😂 😂 " Reporter: " So, you have a permanent party ... How many members (real players ) does it have? Can you name them?" RedBuLL : "My mates are Rusuletz, Makiavelli, Sparkle and Darkyo. " Reporter : " So, five individual players, no alts in party?" RedBuLL : "Yes, we didn't used alts, just when some of us were off for rr " Reporter : "Can you reveal the names of those alts from your permanent party ?" RedBuLL: " Clemence is mine, but I can't reveal you their alts. Ask them if youu want to know .They are nice guys, so you might get an answer." Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you guys got together?" RedBuLL : " The first time when I heard a new server will start, I talked to Makiavelli, I asked him if will play, he said yes and he told me that we will going to play with some old friends of him: darkyo, No1L1v3r and I don't remember the other name atm. , anyway ...those friends of him didn't joined, except darkyo, so in the day before server start we wanted to join Sparkle and weew , they already wanted to play with us but in the last day before server start, Rusuletz contacted me and asked if he can join my permanent party , I said yes and here comes the fifth member. Me , Rusuletz and Makiavelli already played in same permanent party on last NonReset server, but me, Maki and Sparkle played mu since 97d season on same server, we had known each other for many years ." Reporter: " You was ranked as number one for at least 4 days in a row, you did the first reset on the server, then you were overtaken by FKinGCunT, Trippy and Zutto. What happened? " RedBuLL : "I was waiting my mates to get rr. We wanted to stay at the same lvl, to enter in the same ds/bc. darkyo was 1 or 2 lvl behind me , so we had to step back and wait. " Reporter: " So you sacrificed the first places in the top to wait for your friends, why do you think the others did not do the same as you? RedBuLL : " Yes we are a team and I don't want to be somewhere I don't belong. That place is for Makiavelli, and I think the gap between them and the others from perma was much higher then ours, and they knew that their friends will rr in the night and they cannot be online at that hour (my opinion... I don't know for sure)." Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing mu OldSquad (average)? " RedBuLL :"I work 2 days and 2 days I'm free. So when I'm free I spend 4-5 hours maybe at pc, but to be honest, at this beginning I spent more than that." Reporter :"What about the members of your party? Did you had any "dead" moments (times when no one was in a permanent party) this week?" RedBuLL :"Yes, in one of the nights, after returning from 12 hours of work, I had to be on guard, after taking over the reins of the party, at no 30 minutes I fell asleep 😂😂 a few hours later Makiavelli woke up and found all the characters in safe areas " ....But dead moments except that are maximum 2 hours/day. " Reporter :"When did you started to play Mu Online? " RedBuLL : "I play mu from 2003 or 2004, in any case the first db of former mudex. In 2007 I purchased a PC that, maybe you can not believe, but did not go without mu if we do not put the mu at least in the bar, it blocks in about 30min. This is why I was forced to play mu without wanting it " Reporter : "How you found OldSquad ?" RedBuLL :"I searched Google for mu servers, and after I entered on OldSquad also found Psyke with whom I also know in reality life...So I stayed to play this srv. " Reporter : "When did you started to play Mu OldSquad?" RedBuLL :"In springtime of 2016." Reporter :"What nicknames you had in past?"" RedBuLL :"I started to play with MuMaster on mudex, and after few years I switched to this one. On Pheonix I was Endorphin and other nicks for alts were Clemence and SunShine. " Reporter: "Do you have any VIP activated? You have this VIP since you started Inception?" RedBuLL :"Yes, all from our party got hunter vip from 1st day. " Reporter :"Because you are the first player on the server to reset, can you reveal us a few tips about DarkLord starting build? Can you reveal your stats ?" RedBuLL :"Yes, I'm ene dl. This is all I can say.(If someone got critical dmg I want to buy). 😂😂 " Reporter :"What advice would you give to a player playing on this server for the first time, what should he do to get to the top places?" RedBuLL :"He should be friend with Makiavelli, not with Psyke " Reporter :"What strategy do you have for the future?" RedBuLL : "We can't reveal something that we don't know 😂 😂 " Reporter :"Do you have any enemies in game? " RedBuLL :"No, I don't have enemies(except Psyke, ofc). " Reporter: "Did you had any in past ?" RedBuLL :" No, I didn't. Of course, I may have quarreled with some people sometimes, but I didn't hold the hatred against them." Reporter :" Which is your favorite character in game ?" RedBuLL :"BK, for sure, but Zutto didn't quit yet, so I made DL. " Reporter :"And why not play BK?" RedBuLL :"Because he is too good. I didn't beat him yet as bk. Maybe this is my chance. @Admin pls make DL stronger haha " Reporter :"Who is the player, or players, which you dislike the most, in this server ?" RedBuLL :"I can't say that about no one. I dislike just when someone is using bad language. These guys should be banned. Not just to get warns. " Reporter :"I see that you and your party members are in Squadron guild, how did you managed to get in ?" RedBuLL :"I am playing with them from NonRR srv, 2 DBs ago. Rusuletz and Makiavelli were also in this guild. " Reporter: "From what I see, there are many players with different personalities in the Squadron, have you had any conflicts in the guild?" RedBuLL :" Yes, I had a conflict with Twoochecks, about a very good item. He doesn't play now, but probably he will play at many CS. (We didn't insult ourselves, just because each one had different opinions)." Reporter :" Does Squadron have an enemy guild?" RedBuLL :" Maybe GROM, it was the only one." Reporter :"As you can see, there are several guilds registered, but none of them have reset players(yet), except Squadron, do you think you will have a fight?" RedBuLL : "I don't know. If will not gathering many players on and up for CS we can have problems. " Reporter :" Does Squadron guild have rules related to drop, invasion, sharing/selling things, etc. ?" RedBuLL :"We currently do not have any rule written on our discord channel, but we usually give free items or charge a symbolic fee.Regarding the lot we usually do not sell outside the guild until most have finished sets. " Reporter :" Do you read the News Paper? " RedBuLL :"Yes , I read all the news. Are you a real journalist? Every article is amazing. " Reporter : " Thank you, I am not a real journalist, I discovered this side of mine here on OldSquad, I will tell you a short story about how i got this "job" : When I read the announcement about the Reporter project, many ideas came to my mind and I said to try (although I tried after a few weeks after seeing the announcement), Gion contacted me the next day, I had some kind of interview of engagement with him and with Admin, where I shared my ideas which, with Gion's help, I managed to write these articles you see in NewsPaper." Reporter :"I do not want to bore readers too much with details about me and my job so we can continue the interview, of course if you please. " RedBuLL : "Sure, ty for answer." Reporter :" Did you play on the Phoenix server? " RedBuLL :" As I said when you asked me about nicknames, yes I played with a bk, Endorphin" Reporter : "Have you read the Castle is Cursed chapters?" RedBuLL :"I read all the articles😄:" Reporter :"Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed?" RedBuLL : " No, I don't believe this. " Reporter :"But did you see what happened to the guilds that held the castle? If it is not the "curse" (which can be defined by greed, selfishness and pride) what could it be to destroy the most of the guilds in that way?" RedBuLL :"I think the sale of very good items outside the guild creates some internal conflicts." Reporter :" Do you think that after the ancient items will appear in the Land of Trial and the Squadron will be the owner of the Land of Trial, will there be battles inside the guild?" RedBuLL :"Maybe, I can't say no or all the ppl will be happy, but we are not at first DB together and we share almost all items. And about me, if someone need an item from me, I'll give it with pleasure, no doubt." Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper?" RedBuLL : You should make a topic Gossip girl, where to post rumors and gossip. " Reporter : "This is a nice idea, I will think about it Ty for Tip " Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like this server?" RedBuLL :" 8 " Reporter :"What do you like the most in our server, and what you dislike? " RedBuLL :"I like that these exp steps have been set so that the top ones do not go too far and in everything the admin did on the server. It was somewhat innovative. " Reporter :"If you could ask ADMIN any questions, what would be the most important ones that comes through your mind ? " RedBuLL :" Admin, when season 14 will be released?" Thank you for time and for answers, and I wish u good luck ! As you would expect and as I've already gotten used to on the Phoenix server, this is the first of many interviews I plan to take on players who have a major impact on the server's life and come to light like the sun's rays at sunrise.

Yes but your guild? I saw few players in Squadron but that one is not your "Alliance" or "Honestly" guild .

New!

Hello everyone, A few days have passed since Inception "Back to Origins" started, and, as you can see, we already have 500 + online players , but taking a single look at the rankings, Squadron guild dominates this server start, a start that seems to be pretty hard, because Icarus is a map that only players with reset will be able to fill, and the wings level 2 will not appear on the server too soon ... That means even more fun for the top players who are trying hard to reach the top ranks. As for the guilds, as I said, the legendary guild Squadron, led by Voyager, has the fastest "ranking climbers" and the most active players on server, until now, this guild has taught us over time that it can reborn from its own dust like a Phoenix and that at any time it can fight with the top guilds. In past databases, Squadron was the only guild to rise and face GROM (another legendary guild that dominated the server in the past). Now with GR0M banned from the server, will be there a guild to rise and face Squadron? Will we see enough brave fighters to stand in their way? As far as I see, maybe LegendS or Templars, but if they will not start recruiting the guildless players from our top I don't see any chance for them , because, honestly, those guilds look good, but they need more power if they want to kick Squadron or even scratch them at the next castle sieges. Squadron seems united, I think they developed a good strategy on this start because I see in this guild top 10 players on our ranking, in top 20 they have 3 permanent parties and many names that already are legends in OldSquad history, one of them being ProtoType, a great leader who led a guild that measured its forces with the titans of the server. This guild name was DEADCATS, and despite the name, it was very "alive" and very powerful. Talking about top guilds, I was wondering what happened to NONE? (this guild was the best on Phoenix server and if I remember right, they said on forum that they will restart on this new data base), also some time ago there were rumors that another guild will come to light, MrChristians, Levis and Papi`s guild (used to be named Alliance on Max50 and defeated GROM with DEADCATS`s power boost after those guilds merged ) but what happened? Only false rumors it seems... I am waiting with interest to see what happens next, and I will let you know in next articles with the hope you will all enjoy The Newspaper.
