Boomey

So , the time for Devil Square has camed , I as a really try hard player xD , i always try to reach first the top spot , bassically the best spot.  I reached there first , all good. Attention , after 10 s chuckynda appeared, and started to bring his acolytes on the top spot too , probably hoping that will scare us and we ll leave . Well that didnt happened , what happened  I let you all see below..
 
 

A fairytale battle took place on the eternal battlefield called Valley of Loren, a battle like none ever seen before, a historical one that will remain written by the blood of these fighters in the stones from which the great castle is built. Four guilds took part in this epic bloody battle: Hardcore, Purge, Diamond and FORMOZA
The guild that holds the supremacy of the server, Hardcore, led by No1LiveEr, as usual, prepared an almost perfect defense, upgraded the gates and the statues thus recovering 40% of the deficit which was not negligible (-3500 points). They started the fight being organized even from the first gates, trying to slow down the attacking guilds. The warriors of this great guild had a very difficult mission, an almost impossible one, considering last week's balanced fight.
Purge, led by Snook, the guild that launches the attack, has once again brought in 25 of the best fighters ready to shed their blood to break this glorious Hardcore domination which lasted since this server's debut, followed by Diamond led by HVMAN, a guild that failed last week to make the threshold of 2500 points , but with a good performance, especially the "Glowing" Glowa which stamped number one in the previous battle, and the guild ranked with the fourth chance, FORMOZA, under the leadership of Mamelcia, a guild that takes part in this war for the first time.
Due to the fact that we have three attacking guilds, the gates and statues fell very quickly, so, after the first 10 minutes have elapsed, the fight moves inside the castle, and the madness begins: the elves from Hardcore and Purge move amazingly, buffing, freezing, running, I can barely follow them, at the switches the fight is chaotic, Purge manages to register first, but next,  the most focused stampers seem those from Diamond who manage to register pretty fast, although HVMAN and Snook are constantly hunted by Hardcore's elves and cannons. 
The fight is spectacular, we enter the last hour of the fight, and the score is commensurate, Purge leads accumulating so far 2942 points, followed by Diamond with 2050 points accumulated, Hardcore who managed to reduce the handicap quite a lot holding 1604 points and the last were those from FORMOZA with only 200 points.
The crown switches from one end to the other of these great three leaders, Diamond takes advantage of the fierce battle between Hardcore and Purge and begins to gain precious points when they hold the Crown, while Hardcore is recovering points step by step due to the multiple kills made by RuSuLeTzZz "The Machine Gun" , Mu3rTe "The Death Bringer", "The Stunning" Mael  and BugBless "The Terror" . Purge counterattacks using its legends, "The Amazing" Zutto, "The Insane" Chukundah, "The Bloody" FKingCunt helped by MindPower and Duke. 
"Glowing" Glowa makes wonders again on the top switch and Almighty fights on a par with the other stampers for the bottom switch, so Diamond have countless chances to register, some successfully crowned, Achilles' heel for Diamond is still HVMAN which due to the fact that it was low level (297) was killed much easier than the other leaders but he still fights from peer to peer with them for The Crown.  
The fight continues to be dominated by Hardcore's countless kills slowly proposing in the first place, Diamond dominates with important minutes over the other guilds holding the crown on HVMAN's head for the longest time, they take full advantage of the fights between Hardcore and Purge, those (although we see a little chaos in their fight) seems to have the balance of the game with the cannons focused on Hardcore, being one step behind them. After we enter in the most important 30 minutes of this battle the score is: 12493 for Hardcore , Purge follows with 8192 points and currently holds the crown, Diamond accumulates 6640 points, and FORMOZA manages to accumulate 831 points and gives up this fight. 
As we approach the last 15 minutes of the game, Purge is about to overtake Hardcore but HVMAN snatches the crown from Snook's head, and Purge seems to lose clarity and morale, everything balances and when there are 6 minutes from the game the score looks like this: Hardcore 13806 points, Purge 13337 points and Diamond who still own the crown, has 9438 points. 
Everything is possible at this time, If Diamond keeps the position of defenders for another 6 minutes, they can win, if any of the other two leaders registers, will win the battle. The fight for switches seems to be dominated by Hardcore who manage to register when there are ONLY 4 minutes left in this battle and everything falls apart for Purge and Diamond, who have to settle for Lord Boxes so hard-worked, 4 for Diamond and 4 for Purge . 
Fantastic final for Hardcore in this battle, which continues to be the guild that dominates and hold the supremacy for 4 consecutive week. The warriors from Purge feel that they need to change something and start a reform, a reorganization to help them win next week, the leaders of this guild have decided to disband the guild and rebuild a new one, this is called "Neutral". Diamond were the surprise of the week, showing strength and unity, if last week they failed to cross the threshold, this week astonishing us all were on the verge of winning!
Congratulations to all for this great fight!

Seems both members of Diamond and Hardcore dont see it the same way as theire GMs parties and ADMIN
 

I have to say. Thank you. We grew tired of people trying to blame everything else but themselves.

Hello,
There is currently a problem with the guild-chat & alliance-chat that was extended from Guild Masters only to members as well, after the update from today, when we've tried to fix the Guild Masters problem.
If we can't try a new fix for it in the next 1-2 hours you'll have to survive until tomorrow without this chat functions.
We don't want to do another server restart today without trying a new fix, so in the worst case we'll do a server restart tomorrow for either trying out a new fix or roll-back-ing to previous update where the problem was only for Guild Masters, until we have a new fix to try.
Happy leveling!

Release date: 01.10.2020 at 15:18 - Updates are up and no restart is needed!
Info: You'll have to update the game via Launcher in order to continue playing.
Note: We also uploaded a manual patch that you can download (from Downloads) and manually apply it, for those that doesn't use the Launcher.

This interview is about No1LiveEr, one of the most active players on Phoenix, and a key HARDCORE warrior, you can find his name on Phoenix's website Rankings even after he did quit playing weeks ago. He is also a very respected player on server since you can find his name on last interviewed top players like Crucify or Chukundah. I was trying to obtain this interview since Phoenix mid life time and we finally synchronized, so, let's turn it up:
Reporter: "Hello, No1LiveEr ! Welcome to the News Paper's Hall of Fame !
No1LiveEr:"Hello to you, Reporter and community! "
Reporter : " Can you, please, give us a description of yourself? Name, age, occupation, hobbies, etc. ? "
No1LiveEr:"My name is Roland, I'm 34 years old. I currently live in Germany, working in a logistics warehouse. Like hobbies: I like to travel, to play games on PC/PS4. I like contact sports like MMA / Box "
Reporter:" Are you going to play on this new Inception data base?" 
No1LiveEr:"Naturally, I will play with great pleasure. I can't miss it. "
Reporter: "How much time do you plan to spend/day playing mu OldSquad (average)? "
No1LiveEr:"Somewhere between 6-7 hours a day "
Reporter : "When did you start to play Mu Online? "
No1LiveEr:"I started about 16-17 years ago "
Reporter : "How did you find OldSquad ?"
No1LiveEr:"From some friends, they invited me to play on OldSquad. "
Reporter :"What nicknames did you have in the past?"" 
No1LiveEr:"The first nickname, I think it was .... Massacr3 (if I remember correctly), then No1LiveEr, Ezal0r. "
Reporter: "Are you going buy VIP since day 1?"
No1LiveEr:"100%, normal "
Reporter: " Is it so important to have a VIP since day 1?" 
No1LiveEr : "Yes, I think it's important"
Reporter:" Since you are going to buy VIP from day 1, are you going to hunt the top and aim to be a stage breaker?"
No1LiveEr:"Unfortunately, I never used to play for top, but I wasn't far from it either. As for the stage break, it is never known, there are always top, pro, active players who aim at that! "
Reporter: "Do you think that VIP affects the "play-to-win concept"? Is it possible to reach the top without donating? " 
No1LiveEr:"It does not necessarily affect it, it depends on each player on how much time he can afford to play. Along the way you can probably slowly reach the top without donating, but in principle if you want to stay in the top you have to make small sacrifices, including donations. "
Reporter: " How did you manage to hunt so many goldens on Phoenix? Can you reveal us "the secret"? "
No1LiveEr:"A very good question :)) I always enjoy hunting goldens, it is my greatest pleasure related to MU.
The secret lies in: ON almost all invasions I have patience, sometimes I wait for the invasion for 30-40 minutes in the maps I hunt :)) I never miss invasions when I am online, no matter what event it is (except CS, ofc). "
Reporter :"What characters have you played on OldSquad so far? 
No1LiveEr:" "Magic Gladiator (strMG) and MaSsacr3 (SM). " 
Reporter :"What characters do you think that are the best for PvP ? What about PVM?"
No1LiveEr:"For me, there are only MG on PVP and on PVM, but I think every character is good in both PVP and PVM "
Reporter :"So, do you think that all classes are balanced?
No1LiveEr:" Not really, 70% I am satisfied with the settings and formulas of each character. But they can be even better." 
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?"
No1LiveEr:"First of all, a new player must look for a top guild in which to integrate and adapt quickly to the style of play. The second very important thing would be a permanent party with which to reach the top. The rest comes during the game. The third very important thing is the forum. There is all the information related to the server, related to game play, events etc. etc. "
Reporter: "Did you have any permanent party on OldSquad ? Do you have one ready for this new data base? Can you tell us a short story about how did you meet those players and their names ofc.?" 
No1LiveEr: "The first time I played I didn't have a permanent party, but I adapted to the style of play on the server... I have a permanent party for the new database. I would like not to reveal the players' names that I party with, now. We have been part of the same guild for some time and we get along very well." 
Reporter:" What is the importance of a permanent party ?" 
No1LiveEr: "It's the most important thing if you want to be in the top, once again it makes the difference between a good player and an average one, of course if you manage to find the right players to take part of it (it can be really tricky if you do not trust that players enough to share account and etc. but I would never join a permanent party without knowing very well the players inside it. " 
Reporter: "There are rumors on the server that inside Rampage and Hardcore guilds there have been many quarrels between guild members, are they true? Why Rampage disbanded?"
No1LiveEr:"I can't answer you because I don't know what happened, at that time I didn't use to play that much " 
Reporter : "Since we reached the rumors section, there are some that say that Obraznic was a friend of yours and one of your permanent party members. What happened with him, why did he get banned?"
No1LiveEr: "Yes, Obraznic is a friend of mine and he played with me. Why was he banned? As far as I know, he tried to sell for real money, what is against the rules on the server. "
Reporter: " Your guild lost most of the battles on the past Inception data base, but took revenge on Phoenix, what happened? How did you guys manage to build such a strong guild?"
No1LiveEr: "I think that on Inception we lost as a guild due to the fact that many players gave up one by one, including me. The difference was made on Phoenix for the simple fact that we managed to build a much more united guild than on the last Inception, and many of us had a lot of free time due to the pandemic. "
Reporter: " Will Hardcore return, or maybe should I say continue, since you, guys, dominated Phoenix, in force, are you ready to dominate this database same as happened on Phoenix ?"
No1LiveEr:" Hardcore will return without a doubt, but will we dominate this database as well? I can't know for sure what will happen, but what I can say is that we will not give up easily " 
Reporter: " On last Inception data base, Snook and Alex were a part of your team, then on Phoenix they started with Hardcore, then they left the camp and went to Squadron, what happened?"
No1LiveEr:":)) In few words ... I don't think they are worthy of Hardcore"
Reporter: "mafy or RedBuLL .. will one of them be the guild master of Hardcore this data base? "
No1LiveEr:"Unfortunately, none of them. "
Reporter: "I think you already read all the features about this new Inception data base, what would you change to this new server? What do you expect from this new Inception data base?"
No1LiveEr: "Hmm a very difficult question ... I mostly like the idea itself and what has been implemented. What I would change would be the reward at each stage, I consider that they are too small. Regarding what expectations I have from the database .... I hope there will be more than 2-3 guilds participating in CS "
Reporter : " Do you read the News Paper ? "
No1LiveEr:" Of course, yes"
Reporter : " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed? "
No1LiveEr: "I'm not a superstitious guy. The castle is not cursed .... The castle will always belong to those who are very united and able to adapt and counteract as quickly as possible. "
Reporter : " Did you see what happened to the guilds that held the castle, even yours (Rampage)? If it's not "The Curse", what could it be to create so much chaos inside a guild and destroy the most of them?"
No1LiveEr:" I know very little about what happened in Rampage, but what I can say for sure is that not everyone can always be satisfied. And by chance itself we managed to create a new guild and at the same time to gather players who do not make waves and know very well their position in the guild and not only."
Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper ?"
No1LiveEr:"I don't think any change is needed. You, as a Reporter, do your job very well and I am always eager to see what other articles you do "
Reporter: "Since a mate of yours was banned, what do you think about this rule related to the sale of items / accounts for real money? "The buyer receives free of charge what the seller offers if he reports to Staff."
No1LiveEr: "I completely agree even if I was left without a friend (in game), but at the same time it is a rule that can be interpreted differently by everyone. Although the rule is big and loud, I am very sure that there are enough players on the server that manage to break the rule and to take advantage of it .... The temptation is great and there are many buyers :P "
Reporter: "I have 4 challenges for you, do you accept them?" 
No1LiveEr:"Yes, I hope it doesn't take too long "
Reporter :"Challenge no 1:  I need the names of the 5 players you respect the most on OldSquad and the names of the 5 you dislike the most on OldSquad, with reasons ofc."
No1LiveEr:":)) I like:
      -Makiavelli because he is a close friend and a loyal player and at the same time a team player
      -RuSuLeTzZz because he is a very ambitious player and does not give up no matter what happens and a good coordinator
       -mafy because he is an insightful player and attentive to whatever happens
       - Sparkle because he is a very good player from the old generation and at the same time a good CS player
       -RedBuLL because he is by far one of the best players on the Old Squad
:)) I dislike:
       -CaddyLLac, KAIDO, Gh0sT, gre4ka, LordCiprix because they are players I never want to play with "
Reporter: " Challenge no 2: Tell me what do you like most about our staff team, and what you don't like about them!" 
No1LiveEr:"Hmmm very hard ..... because I respect the dedication of the staff only, but there is always things that they can do better "
Reporter: " Challenge no 3: Give us the names of the top 10 hardcore players that will join this new data base"
No1LiveEr:"mafy, RuSuLeTzZz, RedBuLL, LeonidaS, mircy, pandemic, PoooC, Azir, HellDrakE, and, ofc, me :D. "
Reporter:" Challenge no 4 : "Give us the name of the guild master of Hardcore?"
No1LiveEr: "No1LiveEr "
Reporter: "OMG, so, I just interviewed the guild master of HARDOCRE?"
No1LiveEr: "Yes "
Reporter: "WOW, this is what I call Breaking NEWS !! I wish you a lot of success in this new mission and may the curse you believe in, or not, stay away from your guild in this new database!"
 
Reporter:" Thank you very much for time and patience, I wish you to enjoy this new data base and have tons of fun playing it !"
No1LiveEr: "Thank you very much!"
This was No1LiveEr's Interview, a top player, a really honest guy and I am happy to bring him inside the NewsPaper hall of fame!
