I missed the last Castle Siege, so I started to ask questions here and there about what happened, and the short story sounds like this: At the last castle siege, NONE crushed Smurf from the beginning to "the end" (if you can say that, because the fight lasted for like 30-45 minutes). When I tried to reach NONE side version, I found first Coco online , he redirected me to Krass and Tool, as Krass was the voice during the last fight, and Tool is an important member of the guild, who takes part in their strategy build. I started a short interview with them to figure our their point of view. On the other side, I got a few Smurfs participants at the last Castle Siege opinions, and they, mostly, are the same : NONE can not beat them on equal number of players, but they won because they have at least twice more members active than them. At the end of my research I found out from NONE leaders that HOSTILE is considering to disband the alliance, probably not now, but that's a possible scenario, and Aqvila, the great lord of NONE, will no longer be able to play actively. The Curse is doing his "thing" there, on the other side I saw that some members started to quit Smurf guild, and they are getting weaker on each week (at least on Castle Siege). Judging by the signs from today, it doesn't look too good in the future for both sides, as NONE with Aqvila been inactive for an undefined period, and losing the advantage they got from HOSTILE active members, will they remain strong enough to face the next opponents? Also Smurfs seem to tilt because even if they thought that if the Castle Siege will be on Sunday they will have a chance to win, obviously they were wrong, as NONE knocked them out in less than 1 hour, and now (again) they complain about numbers .... NONE's Antidote for Curse was in Aqvila's hands? What will happen with them without him?(as now there are rumors that HOSTILE will disband ally). Will the remaining leaders continue to keep NONE's supremacy on Phoenix, even if HOSTILE breakes the alliance? Smurfs are so weak that the Castle Curse broke them down in short time after they lost the Castle? They seem to struggle and cannot find the power to bring enough forces to at least stand up 2 hours of fight vs NONE, second week in a row... Since I didn't found any Smurfs players to give me an interview, let's see what NONE leaders said , below you can see a short interview: Reporter: "Hello, Krass, Coco just told me that you were the voice of NONE, during the last Castle Siege, is it right? " Krass: " Yes, it is right. " Reporter: "Can you tell us what happened ? " Krass : "Well, basically Smurfs didn't manage to Seal last Castle Siege, that's why we won with a very big points gap...we tried our best, so their Guild Master couldn't seal. The strategy we planned worked so well. " Reporter: "What was NONE Castle Siege strategy, and which players from your guild involved in the strategy for Castle Siege? " Tool: "We had a plan to keep Yami away from throne room, so we had SMs Ice Storming last gates, to slow down their momentum, and AEs icing him, and we killed him there and walk out again, did not matter if there was other enemy inside. Krass is the author of the plan, I was just icing the gates more or less. " Reporter: "How many players from Smurf attended to this Siege? What about NONE's? " Tool : "Smurf - not enough, us = didn't count. " Krass: " Around 4 parties we had, and Smurfs 2 or 3 (maybe)." Reporter: " Have you discovered Smurf's strategy? What was it ?" Krass : " Well, their strategy is basic, just kill switch and seal, which is sooo basic and sucks." Tool: " We staid where we were supposed to apart from that, hadn't seen any logic on the attack they could have, at least use a second DL with summon to get their gm in to throne room more often, but i don't know, all want to be DPS, i guess, they don't see the usefulness in summon." Reporter: " So, are you saying that Smurf guild basically sucks ?" Krass: " Not literally, base on siege and compare to us, they Sucks!!!" Tool: "Well, no, not me , they have few skilled players, but because they can't gather enough force, they know they won't take the Castle, so they just come in for fun, I guess. That would explain the straight forward game play of theirs." Reporter : "I tried to get in contact with your GM, but I couldn't. Why is Aqvila offline? " Tool : "He said he will start working on his porn star carrier more seriously, and he needs more time." Reporter : "So Aqvila abandoned the game ? This means The Curse is hunting your guild? " Krass : " Aqvila didn't quit ... he will still play every Castle Siege. Also, he still involves on our group chat." Tool : "I would not say that it's THE CURSE , it's just life." Reporter : " How did you lost the castle to Smurf, in the past?" Tool: "A lot of people were off." Krass :" A lot of people were off, and there was a BUG ?" Reporter :" What BUG?" Krass: "I don't know, but that's what I heard from the others... Anyway, literally loads of ppl were off."

New article!

It's been a month since I posted the last article about Illusion Temple, I can see that players still share with us their opinions on that topic, so as many things written by me there are no longer up to date, I opened a small "investigation" . After this new update released by Admin on 02.06.2019, with the only purpose to make this event more fun, fair and attractive , some major things changed the Illusion Temple Event : Agility SM, Energy BK, Energy RF are not allowed anymore to join IT (due to pure buffing purpose without actual damage) Characters can only have their own class buffs on Illusion Temple (just like in Lorencia ring). Mounts (Fenrirs and Dinorants) disabled I checked out some Illusion Temple events and I have discussed with some of the players who are participating on this event, also I saw some opinions in other topics on forum and those are their opinions/complaints/suggestions : Some players are complaining that some classes are over powered : Characters like Agility Elf with DDI +7 set is almost invincible Characters who got weapons with SD ignore, are easy killing, even tanks Dark Lord's Horse should have a speed debuff inside Illusion Temple, so Dark Lords should be as fast as any other character. Team split is unbalanced , should not be so random and should have some rules ( like if there are 2 chars from same race/class should be divided in different teams , Admin already answered this on Exilia's post." While would be nice to have the classes split it's not possible as they are made internally and I can't control it sadly" Other players suggest that there should be no restriction for any characters, they would like to see all the characters allowed, but with some restrictions (self buffs only restriction that is already activated by Admin, no excellent items or wings allowed in Illusion Temple 5 and Illusion Temple 6, mobs hp and damage decreased a little, so they can have pure fight with non-excellent sets and difference to be made by players skills and team's strategies ). On the third side, there are players who suggest that Illusion Temple should be played as it was in past (no restrictions at all ) and people who join this event should start learning "basic tactics" and how to use Illusion Temple Skills (as few players use them only) . Other suggestions : " Agi SM and Vit BK should be allowed as he can be a good carrier and he cannot buff party members anymore"; "People should prepare better for IT and get antidote, jack o lantern , dopple (Dimensional Mirror Event) buffs, potion of bless and potion of soul " " Ice arrow on Agility Elf should be canceled by antidote potions not blocked in any event" Those are main opinions I have discovered so far, but of course anyone can reply to this topic to share their own opinions related to Illusion Temple game play.

This is not the first time when I see a player who makes mini events to help the new players. All the newbies appreciate any help they can get, and who can help them more than old players? An "old" OldSquad member started to do mini events to help players that just joined our server. I saw this, and being impressed, I wanted to make an article about it, because it is a great opportunity to help the new comers, and to make them enjoy this server. I tried to get in contact with him and first he told me that he is not doing this to see his name on forum. I have explained that this article is not about making anyone famous, so if any of you wants to make events like this, to help our community, I can help!! Just email Reporter in game, with at least 24 hours before you want to start doing your event, or reply to this topic and I will do my best to help, making some free publicity and animation in game I think OldSquad community will grow and will be more united with those charity events, you don't need to wait for Gion or any GM to make server more attractive with events, to get the newcomers feel good in our server, to help them get a decent gear, also you can have fun helping low players too, if you can and want. If you wanna help newbies but you don't have any idea of any event, just ask here for support, and I think a lot of players will give you "hints" !! @DIEEEEEEEE thank for your involvement in our community, and hope more players will check out and see that it is in our hands (all old squad members) to make this game more interesting for the both sides ... newbies and old players .

New Article!

This interview is about the most disciplined VIP player from the server. I have interviewed him because Coco named him, and because I think it is not easy to get to number one in vote ranking, more than 8 weeks ..... So, let's hear what he wants to share with us: Reporter: " At this moment you are first on main vote ranking. Congratulations! " Reporter: " Can you tell us how did you accomplished that? " FKingCunt : "Thanks man, it's a good reward .. 200 credit, and also I can help the server, as a joke ....even my finance knows that I need to vote 2 times a day ." Reporter: "How do you remember to vote each 12 hours? You set up your phone alarm or something? " FKingCunt : "Easy.... I wake up at 5:30 am for work.... and finish work at 17:00. Hard in the weekend, because sleep is nice sometimes " Reporter: "Did you started voting for Phoenix since its first day? " FKingCunt : "I think I even won the 1st HoF, on vote 1st week." Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing Mu OldSquad, ( average )? " FKingCunt : " During the week, maybe 4-5 h, and during the weekend depends if I do something else, but average during week is like 30h all week." Reporter: " How many times did you missed voting, since your start? " FKingCunt : " All the time when I go out I miss because I can't vote from phone, so let's say 30 votes from starting." Reporter: "Why?" FKingCunt : "After all that thing with the site, you can't access the site from phone if you don't have the same IP as your computer/laptop." Reporter : "When did you started to play Mu Online? " FKingCunt : " 2005 or 2006, I think ." Reporter: "How you found us, and when did you started to play Mu OldSquad?" FKingCunt : " Old people should remember going on internet cafe to play mu :)), old pal told me about this server... after 6-7 years of no mu." Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?" FKingCunt : " On this server and on forum I'm alegzander, always been alegz, alegzander or similar ." Reporter: " Do you have any VIP activated?" FKingCunt : "Nope " Reporter: "Did you had any VIP since Phoenix started?" FKingCunt : "I am not sure, I think I had, one week after I transferred Sum in MG, but I am not sure." Reporter: " Have you donated since Phoenix started? " FKingCunt : " Not this season, I like to play." Reporter : " What's the best set that Magic Gladiator can equip for player versus player? " FKingCunt : " I got a scale set + 11 + dd +hp/ref (ddi 5%), also got Anubis ring and Gloves, and I am trying to get Gaion set." Reporter: " And for player versus monster? " FKingCunt : "For pvm ancient sets, and for pvp excellent." Reporter: " What are best excellent options for Magic Gladiator? " FKingCunt : " I think DD+HP+DDI." Reporter: "And if you have to choose between items with only one option? " FKingCunt : "DD would be perfect." Reporter:" Do you have any enemies in game? " FKingCunt : "Hope not... I am friendly with anyone, but you never know ." Reporter: "Who is your favorite player?" FKingCunt : "kenpachi " Reporter: "What do you like about him? " FKingCunt : "Well, he plays similar with me." Reporter: " Which do you think that is the best PlayerVersusPlayer character in game?" FkingCunt :" Zutto ,or BK if you are good on combo's." Reporter: " Which is your favorite character in game ?" FKingCunt : "SM." Reporter: "Who is the player which you dislike the most, in this server ?" FKingCunt : "No one in particular. I don't like cheats, so anyone who is a cheater " Reporter: " What is the name of the guild which you dislike in game ?" FKingCunt : "I don't mind anyone, we should never judge all the guild members for one or 2 players " Reporter: " Why MuPPeTs merged with Smurf?" FKingCunt : "We started on this server with a few people, we wanted to play casual..... so we created MuPPeTs, as a guild for us, just friends, we went CS 10 people all the time, and we won 2 weeks. We never wanted to play very active, but, as usually, we play active. We broke guild because we wanted to play CS, and in 10 people you can't compete" Reporter: " This Saturday Smurf/Void lost the castle because you were outnumbered by the NONE guild, what happened?" FKingCunt : " Yeah, same reason, we were like 12-15 people online. No one can come in a Saturday, people got families and days off, they not gonna play mu. It's a bad day for CS, for most of us, also NONE guild have probably 60 active people ... they have from who to choose." FKingCunt : " One thing ... I don't know why people don't like to come at the CS, probably it's just a bad day." Reporter :"If the next Castle Siege will be on Sunday, do you think that Smurf will take the Crown back ?" FKingCunt : "We need 4 parties and we can beat their 6 parties. " Reporter: " Do you have someone who is the voice for the Castle Siege? Or just fight random?(a battle master who commands) " FKingCunt : "We always have a few people who can talk. " Reporter: "Can you give us some names?" FKingCunt : "Almighty/Me/Evangelion/Zutto " Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed?" FKingCunt : " Well, it's not cursed... just weak and greedy people, many 2 faces" Reporter: " But this means it is cursed ...." FkingCunt: " I told you, we didn't broke because of the castle, just because we were 10, and some of us wanted to play CS, some of our friends didn't want to join." Reporter: " Do you read the News Paper? " FKingCunt : " Now, yes, the promise is promise" (Reporter: he promised me that he will read the news paper if Liverpool wins the Champions League ) " Reporter: "What do you suggest to improve on it?" FKingCunt : "Well, from what I see, you are doing a good job, but always can be better. One advice for you ... you should also talk with people who are not in top, or who play more casual, they will have, also, something to say." Reporter: " Well, I started with the VIPs(top ranked number 1 players). After I will finish all of them I will probably continue with second, etc.... But top ranked number 1 are the most important because they can inspire the rest of players " FKingCunt: " Not for site ... We are not the most important, this is my personal thinking, you don't need to say that. I think each of us should be the same, maybe some people don't have time to play, if you know what I mean, this game is like life... not all of us can be the top of the pyramid...But we depend on the average people " Reporter: "Well, imagine that you are new on this server... would you like to see the opinion of a top ranked guy about server/how to play, and what are the best choices that you should make, or from the number 1 ranked player?" FKingCunt : "I will ask an average guy . But maybe just me." Reporter : " Do you have conflicts in guild? " FKingCunt : "I don't think that there are real conflicts, maybe different views, everyone can see different the same situation, but, if you have a chat, we can solve the problems, if there is any.... But I think that the Smurfs are decent people. " Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like this server?" FKingCunt : "Like 7-8." Reporter: " What do you like the most in our server, and what do you dislike? " FKingCunt : "Well, I like that Admin keeps the server on, as long as he have people online, but there are some bugs, it would be nice if Admin can do something." Reporter: "Bugs like? Can you describe them? " FKingCunt : " In CC, AE stuns for ages, you can't even attack. Str DL, when finishes the mana, needs to wait for a few seconds before he can attack. Invasions sometimes drops 2x rewards which is not fair, also, I saw DL 1 shot me, with the Vulcanus bug, or battle map" Reporter: "But after the new update? Dark Lord's skill, fire scream, should be fixed now. " FKingCunt: "Now it's Ok. Also, I think that the pvp is not fair... never saw a SM to beat BK/RF/DL with ancient set. I think it has 2 much dmg, also big defense , maybe I'm wrong ....Well, something strange with SM, you can't be tank and top pvp. If you are, it means that SM is OP " Reporter: " If you could ask ADMIN any questions, what would be the most important ones that comes through your mind ? " 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? " Reporter: " Who do you want me to interview next, from OldSquad rankings (top number one) ? " FKingCunt : "DareDevil, no1 at RF in HOF, he is a good player." Reporter:" Do you have any questions that you want me to ask him ? " FkingCunt: "Why did you change from DL to RF ? Noob :@)) " Reporter :" Do you have any questions or message for the last interviewed VIPs?" FKingCunt : " What you think about AE Ice in CC? " This was the interview of FKingCunt, first character on vote rankings. I appreciate the time and honest answers, and I hope that we will hear Catarina, Ganja, DIEEEEEEEE and Coco's answers, as reply to this topic, but all News Paper's readers can reply and share with us their opinion, because your opinion does matter for us!!! .

Yes, my bad, majority did not meet the Poll requirements.

Last Saturday was a pretty unbalanced fight during the Castle Siege, but still a lot of things happened, so here are the most important ones: Smurf tried to defend the throne even tough they seem to have no chance from the very first minute, they resisted about 30 minutes, then their defense collapsed. Smurf didn't gave up and tried to attack more than half an hour after NONE took the crown, even if NONE had twice as many active players than them. On the other side, NONE took the crown in the first 30 minutes, as they outnumbered Smurf and they did that without a great effort. After NONE warriors did the "hardest part" , taking the crown from Smurf , they had some "fun defending", another 30 minutes until Smurf decided to quit and move on spots. In those two weeks that passed, NONE and Smurf members complained that they can not give their best shot on Castle Siege because the event is Saturday and Saturday is a bad day for this major event, arguing that Saturday is a day for parties (real life ones ) or a day in which they spend time with family etc., even if one and a half months ago there was a Poll, where the majority of players decided that Castle Siege should be held on Saturday. As NONE took The Crown back from Smurf (being a premiere on Phoenix), they answered one of the past questions, and have proven, once again, that they are a strong and an united guild that can stand up against anyone. It is premature to say this, but maybe they got the antidote for The Curse? Smurf will have a chance to prove that they are better than NONE next week, when the Castle Siege day will be fixed... Admin listened to both guild members complaints and reopened a POLL to fix the best day for this Major Event and majority decided that Castle Siege should be held on Sundays from now on.

As I have promised you before, here you can read the best story of Mu Online. The [Continent of MU] was once a flourishing empire, located in the Pacific Ocean, to the west of the Americas. Now, much time has passed, and the millennium-old empire has completely lost its control. While the power of the central government continues to wane, feudal lords have become obsessed with power, destroying the once beautiful land. Civil wars have crumbled what strength remains of the government and its armed forces. The story... Over a millennium's time, the [Continent of MU] had advanced and developed into an empire of great strength and government. The continent thrived with great power, setting in the Pacific Ocean, to the west of the Americas. With great strength, came great knowledge. High priests had written a Great Prophecy, known as the [Secromicon], which had foretold a warning about the future of [MU]. Although it was an observed and respected article, the events foretold would become inevitable. Eventually, the [Continent of MU] fell into overwhelming chaos when great leaders, who had once controlled the continent, were greeted with overwhelming forces from feudal lords. As such, the central government began to crumble quickly, as internal strife and warfare of these "power hungry" feudal lords brought the kingdom asunder. The millennium of peace and bounty which once was, is now a mere memory as darkness stains the land with blood. The outcome from civil wars have laid waste to the once beautiful land. To this day, the shedding of blood has no end. Feudal lords are endlessly building forces in attempt to re-establish what once was, but under their own rule. A popular feudal lord, known as [Antonias], was duped into resurrecting [Kundun] through to his own obsession for power. [Lemuria], an evil sorcerer, used [Antonias] lust to easily manipulate him into doing deceiving tasks for her. Many millenniums ago, [Kundun], the Devil of Darkness, had been sealed away with mighty magical power to lay his evil to rest. [Kundun] was sealed by 10 Sealing Stones, which were scattered across the [Continent of MU]. [Lemuria] used [Antonias] to abuse his power to obtain these Sealing Stores in order to complete the resurrection ritual of [Kundun]. This act of deception ultimately destroyed the entire continent. And there, in the darkness, the final battle -- [Kundun] says: "Much worse is on the way." The rays of light, mentioned in the [Secromicon], speak of the ritual to seal [Kundun] away. It is the last hope of [MU]. With the power of the [Seal of Etramu], the very seal which maintained [Kundun's] imprisonment, one can surely return peace to the land once more. Gathering the 10 pieces, now in possession of [Kundun], will be a difficult task. It is told that the 10 pieces were scattered into [Acheron], the mysterious island of elemental monsters. Help collect the 10 pieces, seal away [Kundun], and you'll earn your right to bear [Archangel Weapons], the most divine weapons crafted from the [Guardians of MU]. It is time for one to become a true hero! [Lemuria] says: They cannot beat you with sword or spell, so they will try and conquer you with kindness. Remember the old Shepherd's saying, "If you can't kill the wolf, tame it. A beast that trusts you won't see the blade until it's too late." [Lemuria] continues, wrapping her arms around [Antonias]: More wars are won in back rooms and dark alleys than on the battlefield, Antonias. Do not allow yourself to be tamed. [Lemuria] then quickly turns, and walks gracefully away from [Antonias]. The [Seal of Etramu], used to resurrect [Kundun], was once again dismantled by the beast, and scattered across the continent once more. This time, the Sealing Stones would be in the hands of [Kundun's] many armies. Now, 2 years after the matter, [Kundun] defiled the continent with his touch. Amidst the chaos, all have lost faith and control only showing fear or bloodshed. [Kundun] released his rage merely as vengeance of his long confinement. Quickly, [MU] became home to [Kundun's] minions and the evil of his reign befouled all that was once pure. Nightmare's Day, a passage from the Great Prophecy, had indeed come true. It was no longer merely the words of days gone by, but the history of an inevitable society. Wise men began their studies anew, focusing on the [Secromicon's] words. With much study, hope and longing for the rays of light, mentioned within the writings of the [Secromicon], became the faith of the decaying society. Please reply with the best story that you know here

I think they're not real " Reporter: " If you could ask ADMIN any questions, what would be the most important that comes to your mind ? " Coco : " Why I failed so many feather and w3?

@Zaikon https://oldsquad.ro/forum/top...e-castle-is-cursed-part-lll/ was released ....

Last week was a kind of silent one, until a shadow came from past to hunt the top rankings reset players, a silent war started by Trau and his crew against those strong heroes, and the traces of midnight silent battles were seen every morning in safe zones.... The other wars for Main Events such as Invasions and Bosses were balanced, fights between NONE and Smurf were equal, pray divided between them. Another moment to remember this week was when NONE decided to share Land of Trial with all the server and invite all the fighters inside, to have an ancient epic feast, hoping that this generous gesture would straighten the eyes of the Gods toward them and with divine protection beside them will win again next day . Saturday came, NONE and Smurf have been intensely prepared for this fight and as I told you, another page has been written in the History of the Castle : NONE warriors fought hard, just before the first hour of the siege, it seemed they would not be defeated, as they successfully rejected Smurfs assaults , but then something happened, something broke , they lost their balance..... On the other side, Smurf fought hard from beginning until end, with the fresh memory of the last defeat, they assaulted the Castle without stopping, until they felt the "smell of blood". That was the moment when they attacked the "open wound" that was opened inside NONE's guild chest and hit it with their best shot.... NONE collapsed and didn't found the power to reorganize, after they lost Crown in the middle of the fight, they felt overwhelmed by the enemy's force. The remaining time passed quickly and Smurf's warriors managed to win the Crown and put it on Yami's head. After these events some new questions begin to appear while the other old ones remains unanswered : How long Smurf will dominate the server? Does NONE has the strength to come back next week and take back the crown? Will the curse hunt them down ? Did they got the antidote?

Hello, oldsquaders ! Today we want to present you some basic info about the number of online players, and we will talk about MU, because we did some research. You might have noticed that on many servers you see like 400, 500, 1000 people online , but when you enter the game, there's nobody there. That's because most of the servers (big servers are included here too), are adding a certain number to the online players. Example(happened to me): I have downloaded a random server from a top, after I saw the number of online players being like 630. After joining the game, nobody was in Lorencia, nor Noria or Devias, for like 3 hours. 630 online and nobody is around ? I went on site to look for the online players (I wanted to see their locations), and there was no such feature. Then I clicked on Rankings, and I found out that I was in top60 BKs after like 3 hours of playing. This could not happen if there were 630 online. So I wrote a PM to the administrator of that community, regarding this thing with the top. I had no answer that day. The next day you could only search for top 50 (not 100 anymore) overall characters (not on each class anymore). Playing a little more and walking around, I have noticed that when 580-590 were online(displayed by their website), I could find only like 50-60 players connected in all the maps together. The server events were empty (I saw like 3 players coming to BC in 2 days). So my conclusion is easy to assume: that server has added 500 players to their number of online players, not more, not less. I find this "adding fake online players" thing a plague for games, especially for MU. I am saying this because most of the servers are doing this, and for the most of players this number is enough to join these ghost servers. This is why you see most communities having a high number of online players, but they die after X weeks. And also, this is the reason for many players to quit this game, and I do get their point of view, they have no reason to join another server, because it will crush anyway. This is why our community can prove its number of online players. You have the online players feature on site, where you can find every player connected to the game right now. We do have some features in-game, like /maps, which shows the maps population at that moment. These things being said, I hope that you can spot now a "ghost" server.

What I will tell you bellow(quoted source : en.wikipedia.org) is the best story that I could find, that inspired the Mu Online Creators : Mu, as an alternative name for a lost Pacific Ocean continent, previously identified as the hypothetical Lemuria (the supposed place of origin for lemurs), was later popularised by James Churchward (1851–1936) in a series of books, beginning with Lost Continent of Mu, the Motherland of Man (1926), re-edited later as The Lost Continent Mu (1931).Other popular books in the series are The Children of Mu (1931), and The Sacred Symbols of Mu (1933). Churchward claimed that "more than fifty years ago", while he was a soldier in India, he befriended a high-ranking temple priest who showed him a set of ancient "sunburnt" clay tablets, supposedly in a long lost "Naga-Maya language" which only two other people in India could read. Churchward convinced the priest to teach him the dead language, and decipher the tablets by promising to restore and store the tablets. Churchward was an expert in preserving ancient artifacts. The tablets were written in either Burma, or in the lost continent of Mu itself, according to the high priest. Having mastered the language himself, Churchward found out that they originated from "the place where [man] first appeared—Mu". The 1931 edition states that "all matter of science in this work are based on translations of two sets of ancient tablets": the clay tablets he read in India, and a collection of 2,500 stone tablets that had been uncovered by William Niven in Mexico. The tablets begin with the creation of Earth, Mu, and the superior human civilization Naacal by the seven commands of the seven superlative intellects of the Seven-headed serpent Narayana. This creation story dismisses the theory of Evolution. Churchward gave a vivid description of Mu as the home of an advanced civilization, the Naacal, which flourished between 50,000 and 12,000 years ago, was dominated by a “white race", and was "superior in many respects to our own". Churchward research supports a quasi-christian belief system and white supremacy denounced. Science and evolution: His image of a perfect human is the white version of Jesus Christ. At the time of its demise, about 12,000 years ago, Mu had 64,000,000 inhabitants and seven major cities, and colonies on the other continents. The 64 million inhabitants were separated as ten tribes that followed one government and one religion. Churchward claimed that the landmass of Mu was located in the Pacific Ocean, and stretched east–west from the Marianas to Easter Island, and north–south from Hawaii to Mangaia. According to Churchward the continent was supposedly 5,000 miles east to west and over 3,000 miles from north to south. That is bigger than the continent South America. The continent was believed to be flat, with massive plains, vast rivers, rolling hills, large bays, and estuaries. He claimed that according to the creation myth he read in the Indian tablets, Mu had been lifted above sea level by the expansion of underground volcanic gases. Eventually Mu "was completely obliterated in almost a single night", after a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, "the broken land fell into that great abyss of fire" and was covered by "fifty millions of square miles of water." Churchward claims the reasoning for the continent's destruction in one night was because the main mineral on the island was granite and was honeycombed to create huge shallow chambers and cavities filled with highly explosive gases. Once the gases were empty after the explosion they collapsed on themselves causing the island to crumble and sink. Churchward claimed that Mu was the common origin of the great civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Central America, India, Burma and others, including Eastern Island, and was in particular the source of ancient megalithic architecture. As evidence for his claims, he pointed to symbols from throughout the world, in which he saw common themes of birds, the relation of the Earth and the sky, and especially the Sun. Churchward claims that the king of Mu was named Ra and he relates this to the Egyptian god of the sun, Ra, and the Rapa Nui word for Sun, ra’a. He claimed to have found symbols of the Sun in "Egypt, Babylonia, Peru and all ancient lands and countries – it was an universal symbol." Other pieces of evidence for his claims: Churchward looked to the Holy Bible and found that through his own translations, Moses was trained by Naacal brotherhood in Egypt. Assyria mis-translated when writing and misplaced the garden of Eden. Should’ve been in Pacific ocean according to Churchward. Churchward makes references to the Ramayana epic, a religious text of Hindu attributed to sage and historian Valmiki. Valmiki mentions the Naacals as “coming to Burma from the land of their birth in the East,” that is, in the direction of the Pacific Ocean. Churchward also looked into legends of the native american tribe, Pueblo, legend says that four fathers sailed from where the sun sets which fits Churchwards location of Mu. Churchward translated Yucatan ruins that tell of an origin land to the West. Churchward claims the ancient Mexican pyramids are monuments to the destruction of the land to west. Churchward's other pieces of evidence to his claims lie within the south pacific islands. Cook island has stone monuments but has no quarry so it is presumed that they were brought there from Mu as Churchward believes. Topgona island has no stone just coral, but has a massive stone arch, the continent of Mu would've been near this island. Marshall islands have tall slender pyramids that had orientations used by the natives with them not knowing how they got them. Several south sea islands contain great ruins of a temple which on the walls contain sacred symbols of Mu. Churchward attributed all megalithic art in Polynesia to the people of Mu. He claimed that symbols of the sun are found "depicted on stones of Polynesian ruins", such as the stone hats (pukao) on top of the giant moai statues of Eastern Island. Citing W.J. Johnson, Churchward describes the cylindrical hats as "spheres" that "seem to show red in the distance", and asserts that they “represent the Sun as Ra.” He also incorrectly claimed that some of them are made of "red sandstone", which does not exist on the island. The platforms on which the statues rest (ahu) are described by Churchward as being "platform-like accumulations of cut and dressed stone", which were supposedly left in their current positions "awaiting shipment to some other part of the continent for the building of temples and palaces". He also cites the pillars "erected by the Māori of New Zealand" as an example of this lost civilization's handiwork. In Churchward's view, the present-day Polynesians are not descendants of the dominant members of the lost civilization of Mu, responsible for these great works, but are instead descendants of survivors of the cataclysm that adopted "the first cannibalism and savagery" in the world. The lost continent of Mu according to Jack E. Churchward is different from the continent of Lemuria that is theorized to be in the Pacific or Indian Ocean. In his novels, Churchward never mentions of the supposed other lost continent of Lemuria. Lemuria is imagined to be slightly bigger than Mu when located in the Pacific, but otherwise most people generally consider them the same mythological continent that once existed in the Pacific Ocean. I will come back soon with the best story that I will find!

I respect Ganja as I respect all the people that made a character and got ranked first on any of our rankings, not less and not more! I know that some of you will associate me with Ganja, everyone can say anything, so here we go : This interview is about a top Agility Elf player, and believe me, I started the interview at at least 20:00 server time, and around 21:00 server time, when I tracked him, he asked me to stop(during interview there were a lot of "stops" because he is active on all events. His activity is admirable!!! ) I have been following him on all the active events: invasions, then Illusion Temple, after that I tracked him on Cry Wolf, BloodCastle, Medusa, Kundun (where someone accused him for using hacks), then Golden Invasion. Just following him was an adventure, he went to all active events, in the mean time , and still found time to answer our questions. The interview lasted for several hours, but any answer worth each second I've spent!! . Reporter: " At this moment you are first ranked on Blood Castle main ranking, Congratulations! " Reporter: " Can you tell us how did you accomplished that? " Ganja : " My character (AE) is Good at this Event , with correct positioning it's easy to win the event. " Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing Mu OldSquad, ( average )? " Ganja : " I am online a lot during event times and I am afk while there is nothing to do, hard to say really" Reporter: "Can you try? An average of time since you started? Ganja: "Probably if combine the events, about 5-6 hours, but I like to say that it depends on the day." Reporter: " Do you have any VIP activated?" Ganja: " No, at the moment I am a little short on credits, but I try to farm enough for VIP every week." Reporter:" How many credits you get / week ?" Ganja :" Maybe about 500 from BC/DS/CC etc. then about 500 from invasions and whatever I can sell in market " Reporter: "When your have enough credits, what type of VIP do you prefer ? Ganja : " Hunter, because I don't believe VIP affects drop rate" Reporter: "Did you started playing Phoenix since its first day ? " Ganja : "Yes, but I also played in Non rr server for about 1 -2 months " Reporter: " How many Blood Castle you do / day ? Ganja: "All 3 " Reporter : Did you missed any? Ganja: " It happens " Reporter : " What's the best set that AE can equip for player versus player? " Ganja : " Lord Mixed Red Spirit +lk +dd +ref+7% ddi, but good luck getting it " Reporter : " Newbies cannot afford Lord Mix, what should they aim for ? " Ganja : " For AE? " Reporter : "Yes " Ganja : " DD is must for any char and you should go hp next opt, if possible, but you should have at least one ref item to stop attackers with reflect, it makes people pause attacking " Reporter: " And for player versus monster? " Ganja :" I honestly don't know, both Drake and Aruan are good, Aruan better if you wanna pk more " Reporter : "When you started to play Mu Online? " Ganja : "I started first when the game came out, played in different servers for few years then stopped for 10 years, now again in old squad. " Reporter: "How you found us and when you started to play Mu OldSquad?" Ganja : "extreme top 100 i was looking for a server that isn't pay to win, join non rr in January " Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?" Ganja: " Ganja, my BK on Non RR was iQon." Reporter : "Since you are the first on Blood Castle ranking, can you give some tips about stats ? Can you reveal yours ?" Ganja: "Yeah, it's very simple, enough str. for Bow, rest agility , when u feel like you need more hp for bosses like Selupan you can either reset agility a bit or add ml max life. At this moment I have : 345 Str, 1860 Agi and 300 Vitality." Reporter:" Do you have any enemies in game? " Ganja: "No." Reporter: " Did you had any? " Ganja: "I've had personal disagreements with some people, but minor things, no enemies. " Reporter: " Can you name any? " Ganja: " I rather not, I don't like to gossip " Reporter: "Come on, give me some spicy info!" Ganja: "I don't really have anything spicy, I am pretty boring person." Reporter: "Who is your favorite player?" Ganja: "Hmm... hard to say, many great players here, I respect DIEEEEEEEE for fighting bosses alone sometimes, and Catarina, he has pked me more than anyone." Reporter: " Your favorite character in game is Elf?" Ganja: " SM " Reporter: " Why you play Elf then?" Ganja: "Playing Elf can make you rich in game from killing bosses" Reporter : " Is Agility Elf top hunter?" Ganja: " Depends on the event but its between Sum and AE, Summoner has the edge in some events" Reporter: "Can you name the events where Agility Elf is top hunter and the ones where Summoners are? (Newbies should know when to choose Agility Elf or Summoner)" Ganja : "AE is good for Non PVP Goldens and Blood Castle, in rest probably Summoner is better, only difference is that AE can do all this because of its high defense , however with a full party I think Summoner is better then AE in almost all events." Reporter: " Who is the player which you dislike the most in this server ? Ganja: " I won't give names, but I dislike people who cheat in any way, and I dislike people who try too hard, to the point where they favor what set you have over what kind of person you are" Reporter: " What is the name of the guild you dislike in Game (if there is any)?" Ganja: " I don't generalize people by what guild are they in. Every guild has some good and bad people" Reporter: "Oooooo your guild has bad people inside?( I thought NONE is a perfect guild, as it leads the server.... )" Ganja :" Nothing is perfect " Reporter :" Do you think that your guild will win the next Castle Siege? " Ganja: "I hope not " Reporter : " Why?" Ganja : " I would like to find out who is really loyal" Reporter : " Rumors: People were saying that you are the reporter, how do you comment that ? " Ganja :" I have no idea why . Maybe because I talk too much ? " Reporter: " You should be the reporter!! " Reporter : "An anonymous fan wants to ask you this question :"What do you think about guild core ? Do you need to boost "power house" chars like for pvp, while pvm can kill bosses / golds?" Ganja : " No , only active friendly people who want to participate in guilds activities. Items/sets doesn't matter, it all can be bought, farmed." Reporter: "You are now in the best guild on this server, do you think that NONE is invincible?" Ganja : " Nobody is invincible, Smurfs have a good chance at castle if they attend it more actively, to be honest last castle siege I told Coco that I think we are gonna lose , but we pulled through " Reporter: " You were a BDSM member at the beggining, is it right? " Ganja: " Yes " Reporter: "Why it disbanded? " Ganja: "I don't know why it disbanded, I left before it did" Reporter: "Wow ... why ? " Ganja: "Some of my friend left, and one was kicked for not attending in IT" Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think the Castle is Cursed?" Ganja: "I have some weird superstitions outside of the game, but I don't believe that the castle is cursed, if you promote team work without forcing it and let people be people, they are good generally, and I would like to add : What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, if you prepare a guild for losing, think it like a test of character" Ganja: " If there are people who are only in guild for castle, then I am happy to see them go, those who stay will only work harder " Reporter: " If NONE will lose Castle next Saturday, do you think it will survive "The Curse" ? " Ganja: " I honestly think we have a good group of people, and this ally has been only getting better. I think others are happy with it also " Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like this server?" Ganja: "I'm gonna say 9, there are some areas that need improvement but nothing is perfect" Reporter: " What you like the most in our server, and what you dislike? " Ganja: "I can be as strong as donors, I hate the pay to win systems , there is no sens of accomplishment . What I dislike .... There is no excellent drops above kanturu3, I like finding excellent items " Reporter: " If you could ask ADMIN any question, what would be the most important that comes to your mind ?" Ganja :" Why EE's are banned from IT, when SM has just as much impact as MS has, 39% abs, and ERF can buff party to 4k hp ?" 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? Ganja: " Can you get more GM's, 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 " Ganja: "Can you improve navigation for help section on forum? Maybe add a Getting started FAQ or something ? Reporter: " Who do you want me to interview next, from OldSquad rankings (top numeber one) ? " Ganja: " Ask Coco why he is so good on CC" Reporter :" Do you have any questions or message for last interviewed VIP`s? Ganja: " I don't" Thank you Ganja for all those answers and ,"off the record" , I am kind of proud that people associate your name with mine!!" (Reporter) The Interviews will continue and I hope I will find Coco first !

Thanks for the detailed clarifications!

So, will be open no matter what? Free PVP?

Verry nice !!!!!!

Hello, This is the second interview from many that I will try to make. At this moment, DIEEEEEEEE is a VIP OldSquad player because he is ranked as number 1 on Hall of Fame. We all want to hear how he did that, what he thinks and MORE! So, you can read his answers in this topic (I am fan of any ranked number 1 player, so I will try to interview all of them, because they got ranked number 1 doing things better than the others, so they deserve to be called an OldSquad VIP). Reporter : "Do you agree that the following interview to be posted in the newspaper?" DIEEEEEEEE: "Yes." Reporter: "At this moment you are the first ranked on Hall of Fame! Congratulations!"

DIEEEEEEEE: "I found OldSquad after our local project was closed, and my fist project here was Max 30 rr." Reporter: "What nicknames you had in past?" DIEEEEEEEE: "The main is only this." Reporter: " Since you are the first on Hall of Fame ranking, can you give some tips about stats ? Can you reveal yours ?" DIEEEEEEEE: " Srry but my stats in all projects are secret, they are always unique, I don't like to copy someone, and what if someone copy me." Reporter: "Can you tell us how a newbie should build stats on Magic Gladiator for player versus player? " DIEEEEEEEE: "Put the stats where there's something lacking. " Reporter: "And for player versus monster? " DIEEEEEEEE: " For pvm: STR for weapons, maybe some agility, stamina, maybe 100 (not more), rest of stats in energy" Reporter:"Do you have any enemies in game? " DIEEEEEEEE: "No enemies, but competitors " Reporter: " Can you name some? " DIEEEEEEEE: "Coco, SupremeElf, I like this AE for real! They very hard to kill " Reporter: "Who is your favorite player ? (the one you respect more) " DIEEEEEEEE: "SupremeElf." Reporter: "Who is the player which you dislike more in game? " DIEEEEEEEE: "Mamed ^^ but idk if he really play here^^ " Reporter: "And from current server ?" DIEEEEEEEE: " No one" Reporter: "What is the name of the guild you dislike in Game (if there is any)? " DIEEEEEEEE: "No one, only competitors " Reporter: "Why MuPPeTS merged with Smurfs, can you tell us a short story? " DIEEEEEEEE: " When I joined MuPPeTs, guys told me initially that they don't position themselves as a top Guild, and I agreed because I don't like strong Guilds." Reporter: "Now your team joined Smurfs alliance, the only guild, at this moment, who can challenge NONE on Castle Siege, how did you merged with them? " DIEEEEEEEE: "Honestly, I don`t know what to say here, maybe because someone wants more but doesn't want to make an effort. " Reporter: "MuPPeTs merged with Catarina's team and half of BDSM... " DIEEEEEEEE: "Yes, because we want a competitive server. " Reporter: "Before doing first reset you had energy Magic Gladiator, why you changed stats, and when? " DIEEEEEEEE: " I've not been planning since the beginning EMG, but my party members say that we won't be able to raise the level and I was forced or I will play alone." Reporter: "What you like more in our server, and what you dislike? " DIEEEEEEEE: "Hmm... I don't like resets, but I understand that without them the server will die, and I don't like NON PVP^^ events. I also dislike PK clear system, even now, I was on kundun one hour ago and I still need to clear up. " Reporter: "What happened last Castle Siege, why Smurf lost the fight? " DIEEEEEEEE: "On last CS I just rested in nature after work, and Saturday is a really bad day for CS, so why Smurf lost? I don't know." Reporter: "Do you think Smurf will win next Castle Siege? " DIEEEEEEEE: "If we organize, yes. " Reporter: "You don't trust enough your guilds power? " DIEEEEEEEE: "I believe some people just have different priorities. " Reporter: "What alts do you have in game? (name only if u want)? " DIEEEEEEEE: "MG(main), EE and SUM. " Reporter: "Which is your favorite character, is it the Magic Gladiator? " DIEEEEEEEE: "SM. " Reporter: "Why MuPPeTs disbanded? " DIEEEEEEEE: "I think the main reason is Saturday, I don't know other reasons. " Reporter: "Do you think the castle is cursed ? " (check the links bellow if you want to know what I mean by Castle Curse). DIEEEEEEEE: "Nope, I think we need to rework a little . " Reporter: "In the past, you were a member of GROM guild, what happened to them? " DIEEEEEEEE: "I liked this Guild, honestly I like this game play but they are to blame for what happened, they almost destroyed the server." Reporter : I will tell you all a short story about GROM guild : On last Non Reset data base, most of the members of guild GROM (which was the strongest guild in last 3 data bases, as far as I know ) got banned or they had "their" items deleted by ADMIN because they used cheats. This action had a huge impact on non reset server's game play balance but also made players like me to respect more this server and Staff Members because cheaters should not have room in any server!!!!! No matter how many are they and what will be the short time impact of clearing them out! Now lets get back to DIEEEEEEE's interview: Reporter: "Do you think this server is better then last ones you have played? " DIEEEEEEEE: "Yes, of course, Admin makes a great job! " Reporter: "If you could ask ADMIN any question, what would be the most important that comes into your mind? " DIEEEEEEEE :"Why I am so unlucky??( kidding) I have no question for him." Thank you DIEEEEEEEE for patience and for your answers, as I told you at topic start, all ranked number 1 players in any of our Old Squad Rankings ( except ban ranking, of course😅 ), needs to be interviewed and all players should read/listen what those Old Squad VIP have to say because they all have to share us a lot of experience, searching them on website won't bring you the knowledge to be the best on any ranking, so I will try to find for you all their secrets!!! Interviews will be continued, please type here or email Reporter in game if you have any questions to add!!!

Two days passed since the last Castle Siege was disputed. The remains of an epic war can still be seen in Valley of Loren's battle field,.In front and behind the castle gates, you can "hear" the silence that gives you the creeps that "stains your skin", and on the famous bridge, dried blood spots are still covering the stones on which it's built. The past week was an intense one and a lot of things happened since I have posted the last article about the Guilds involved in the fight for supremacy, I will relate bellow only the most important ones: Last week was the last one for the greatest MuPPeTs, they disbanded, as the Curse of the Castle wants to prove,it has its own will and only a really strong guild can face it. This curse seems to be a disease for which only a few guilds had an antidote in the past, but they kept it secret and were finally buried with it. Most of the MuPPeTs players moved to the new guild, named Void, then made an unexpected move : alliance with Smurf . The Smurfs, absorbing this power, hoped that it will be enough to take the supremacy. The fight was tight in past, even without this new guild Void on their side. Saturday came and Smurf guild with its new fresh power attacked hard, the fight was balanced, but in the end, NONE proved again that their team is stronger and more united than ever, and sent a message to all the guilds who dream about the Castle and about the Land of Trials: “Anyone who wants to Take the Crown from Aqvila`s head needs to try harder than this”. Will Smurf be better prepared for the next Castle Siege ? Will they finally send the Curse after NONE?

Hello, This is the first interview from many that I will try to make. At this moment, Catarina is a VIP OldSquad player because he is ranked number 1 on 3 of our rankings, Castle Siege, PVM and Gens.

Top resets or top Master Level ? In this topic I will present you some strategies used by the top ranked players. There are several tops and I will talk only about the most important ones, related to character strength and strategies. I guess that not all the players know all the things that I am about to tell you. For the beginning, I will tell you that the top 10 characters from reset rankings are not the strongest characters on the server, not at this moment, anyway, let's begin: 1. Reset rankings (the most popular top) : Here you can see the top characters as normal exp characters, those players have a strategy based on long term , they do first resets because each reset gives some bonuses like 60 points/reset , character strength improved, like hp/dmg/strength/defense with @ a few percent for each reset, but the most important bonus is that each reset increases Master Level XP by 20% , so when they start to do master level, they will level up way faster than the players who preferred to do master levels from first resets. Let's not forget that each reset will push your ML limit higher (you can do more ML level with each reset). When they reset their character, they "lose" a lot of action , top events and bosses like Chaos Castle7, Devil Square 7. Blood Castle 8, Medusa, Bloody Queen, Nightmare, etc On long term they hope to dominate server because all the rest wasted time to take the short term power. Are they on the right way for long term ? Who can tell? Excepting time.... 2. Master level rankings; people seems to have low interest on this rankings, I am telling you this because top reset rankings characters have more views than the top Master Level characters: In this top, you can see the most powerful characters in game at this moment (Today's Masters, as I like to call them) , while they are concentrating on doing master levels, they can fight for top events and top bosses like Chaos Castle7, Devil Square 7. Blood Castle 8, Medusa, Bloody Queen, Nightmare, etc. Also, they play a key role at the Castle Siege, because they" kick asses really hard", for example: at this moment no one from top 5 rankings can win a player versus player or a player versus monster duel with Catarina. Those players strategy is to get all what they can and reset only when they get near maximum master level for their reset, this provides top ITEMS and a lot of rewards, they hope that they will stay stronger than top exp players even on long term, thinking that the advantage they already got will compensate the resets from the top ranked exp players, and after they will start to reset, they will level up faster than the other top players who went for top exp rankings. On long term will they reduce the experience gap? Will they dominate? Those questions will remain unanswered until we'll see the end game. 3. PVM Ranking is the third ranking that is very important : In this top you can find players that you don`t want to mess around with, in any circumstances, because they are the most active players, The Top Hunters, so they got the best items and top characters in server at this moment. If you go and start a war against them, be sure that you can keep up with them ! or give up before you will be their target for player kill, player versus player, etc. My advice is to not mess with any of the top ranked players, no matter where they belong, if you are an occasional player vs player.

No one said that players have quit the game, this is all about guilds here, and MuPPeTS tilted as other guilds did, in short time after lost Castle.
