This interview is about Snook, a player who got ranked no 1 on Phoenix#2 weeks ago and he is still number one in the moment I write this article, he is ranked top number one also on Master Level Main rankings, Hall of Fame general rankings, Chaos Castle general rankings, and second ranked Castle Siege Tank rankings , and he is also a member of "The Council" (one of the newest Old Squad projects). Reporter: "Hello, Snook ! Welllcomeeeee to the News Paper's Hall of Fammeeeeeeeee ! Snook:"Hello, Mr. Reporter ! Thank you for having me ! 🙏 " Reporter : " Can you, please, give us a description of yourself? Name, age, occupation, hobbies, etc. ? " Snook:"My name is Florin. I am 25 years old, from Romania. I am self-employed , with 3 different income sources at the moment. My main hobbies would be sports ( with fitness and football being by far my favorite , but I also enjoy table tennis and basketball), movies , tv-shows, cars and reading and learning constantly new things " Reporter:" Three different income sources? Wow tell us a bit more about that." Snook:" Well, it's nothing special. They are all related to health. Two are strongly correlated, I am a personal trainer and a health and nutrition coach and I am also involved in my mother's business ( a medicinal leeches bio laboratory) which has been my main activity for the past months due to the covid19 situation." Reporter:" Regarding this covid 19 pandemic, how did it affect you?" Snook:" My major problem with covid19 was that they closed the gyms and they also blocked international transportation by air, which affected our sales. I also feel the need to say that this is far from a pandemic with this new virus " Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing mu OldSquad (average)? " Snook:" It really depends. For the past two weeks, I've spent about 2-3 hours, maybe. Today under 1 hour, so far 😂 . At the start of the server, I was on maybe 10-14 hours since my activities were closed/at a minimum level. " Reporter : "When did you start to play Mu Online? " Snook:"I first started when I was 11-12 maybe with my older brother. It was a 97d server and we had no idea what we were doing After that we played on and off, mostly together. There was a break of 5-6 years maybe where we didn't play any server, suddenly realizing how many things appeared and how much the game has evolved. This is probably the longest DB that I've played continuously. " Reporter : "How did you find OldSquad ?" Snook:" My brother found it on xtremetop100 when there was a 50rr edition. 2 years ago maybe. We loved it from the start, as we could see how much passion ADMIN put into making this server probably the best private one at this moment. I mean , not only ADMIN , the entire OS team." Reporter :"What nicknames did you have in the past?"" Snook:" I think I had Florin the first time and then Snook. In the first servers I had Sn0ok3r , the nickname I was using on CS 1.6" Reporter: "Do you have any VIP activated? What types of VIP did you use since the start of Phoenix and why?" Snook:"I have PRO vip for the past 4-6 weeks, I think. I've started with HUNTER, had VIP activated all the time. Started with HUNTER because it was better than DEALER for leveling up. " Reporter: " How did you manage to climb in top and eventually get the most desired place ? Can you reveal us "the secret"? " Snook:"If you wanna play for the top you MUST have a permanent party and try to have someone to cover the party all the time (being able to refill at nights and lvling up at top spots makes all the difference). We've tested on test-server the best spots for every level and we managed to get a nice lead versus the others. I've managed to get 1st now just because Rusuletz and Makiavelli stopped playing ( so seriously ). They've had pro vip since the release and therefore they had a big advantage at leveling. " Reporter:" But still, you were chasing the no 1 rank since server started and it came a bit late, what made the difference between you and the "stage breakers" back then?" Snook:" There were a couple of reasons. First one, the release of Grizzly spots in Elbeland right before the start of the server (which are better than ice queen in dev4). We didn't pay attention to that reply on the forum and didn't know about this. Secondly, the warp bug for dungeon 3 ( where you could walk to dungeon 3 at 53 or sth instead of 70). After that, the party kill rate made another difference (they had 2 dl's in party with OP dmg while SM was hitting 3-400 in karutan1). Another big difference was made by our party member Alex, which told mafy to move to our maps every time we were making xp better than them " Reporter :" What about HoF rankings, how did you got so many trophies? " Snook:" CC is playing a huge role in that. I've been getting first there for the past 5-6 weeks I think. Of course, PRO vip plays an important part in this, since you have an extra entry/day." Reporter :"Since you are top no one Soul Master player on the server, can you reveal us a few tips about Soul Master pvp build/ ML skill tree? Can you reveal your stats ?" Snook:"Well, I don't want to reveal them , since this makes quite a difference. I've tested several builds with each RR and now I think I've found the best one so far. It also depends on play-style/set. As with ML , on SM it's pretty basic , nothing special. " 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 should he build stats on Soul Master ?" Snook:"Sneaky question . He should try to get into all bc/ds / day. They matter a lot actually. In my opinion, at the start he could try and have higher vitality/agility to survive in better maps. After he gets a decent gear, he can decrease those and add to energy. SM is very gear dependent, without a nice staff and wings, his dmg is very poor. And, of course, try and get a permanent party with shared teamviewer/anydesk." Reporter :"What characters do you think are the best for PvP ? Snook:"It depends on the stage of the game. At this moment, close to end game , I believe SM/SUM to be the best. BK is probably the best PVP as long as he one shots sm/sum with combo , if he doesn't then he'd die from the DPS. " Reporter: "Speaking of permanent party... Can you tell us a few words about the importance of a perma party on OldSquad, and a short story about how you and your perma mates got together?" Snook:"Permanent party , with shared TV/anydesk is the most important aspect on the server. Being able to refill the chars when the user is AFK or bring back from safe-zone if he dies will make all the difference in experience. Without one you might die in the first 2 minutes after you go AFK and realize that you've wasted 5-6 hours. Every minute is important for experience, especially at the start. Often you notice multiple differences in levels in a party between members that go to events (ex. invasions) and the ones that just afk on spot. We've actually replaced our perma a lot this DB. Started with Venom (who is a real-life good friend of mine) and Alex (we met on forum for Inception last db and we became friends, what were the odds that we were living so close to each other? ). Searching for 2 more players for our perma we found Mindpower and Rain, but their objective with the game was different than ours, they wanted a more chill approach so after a few weeks we changed members and kept changing since 1 member after another stopped playing. Right now the party consists of me , Venom , Waste and Duke. " Reporter: " Why Squadron disbanded? " Snook:"Most of the players stopped playing after the first 2-4 weeks , so there was no point in keeping the guild anymore. At a moment only Zutto, Waste and Chukundah were still playing, while all the others were afk , busy with work or other stuff. " Reporter : "What happened with BedeJutro's items during the most controversial Castle Siege on Phoenix#2 ?" Snook:" Well, obviously, someone with access on the account logged on him and took his items during CS time. It was pretty nice for him to give them back though." Reporter:" So, it wasn't you?" Snook:" Pretty hard to be me when I was facing 20-25 players trying to kill me on stamp during that time. I know I'm tough, but I still have to press Q Also, I never had the details to that account as I had no business with that party members." Reporter:" Last week Hardcore created 3 guilds to kick Sapphire from Castle Siege and then they farmed points to get free Lord Boxes, how do you comment their action? " Snook:"I don't really care. For me the competition on the server is dead for several weeks now. Maybe now that random guild may realize how inexperienced they really are. " Reporter: " Do you think that your guild can win the Castle Siege? " Snook:"In a close number of members fight , yeah. If there is a guild with double the number of players , probably not. Anyway , we are pretty busy and had no time for CS. " Reporter:" At the beginning of this data base you were a Hardcore member, what happened? Why did you left the guild and then moved to the "enemy guild" ?" Snook:" Most of the players did not want me there , they made it pretty clear , so there was no point for me to stay. I also did not want to play with them, but I entered because of Alex and Rus." Reporter:"Since you are a council member, can you give us some details about what this council means, why you applied, how you were elected and what your expectations are from this council? " Snook:"It's everything at the start, so I know as much as it was presented to everyone. I was invited by Gion to take part in this project , which I'm honored and happy to. I hope that together we can make OS projects more fun, balanced and enjoyable for all types of players , from serious to casual. " Reporter : " Do you read the News Paper ? " Snook:"ALWAYS!! " Reporter : " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed? " Snook:"Somehow , maybe. I think it brings a lot of greed at surface, but it all depends on the people that make the guild. We never had issues in Squadron with this because everyone has equal chances for the items " Reporter : " 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?" Snook:" In my most sincere opinion , the core members of the guild. If they see themselves above the rest of the players , as the only party/players that matter , then of course the others will not accept this." Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper ?" Snook:"Well, I truly enjoy it, but maybe sometimes it can be made more fact-based, rather than dramatize. But maybe it's just my preference." Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like Phoenix#2 ?" Snook:"I'd go with a 7." Reporter: " What would you change to this server? What do you expect from the following servers?" Snook:"I would want to see a slower pace for the server and fewer bugs/ more balance for top events. Compared to my experience on Inception, it feels that ADMIN didn't have that much time for this edition, which is understandable, many things may appear in someone's daily life. " Reporter: "There are rumors that the last base date you were banned,are they true? What happened? Snook:"Yes , although I'm not sure why it's a rumor , since it was never a secret. I tried to sell my account. Wanted to quit forever, heard from someone that he did , so I figured why not make some money if I invested so much time in the end. Wasn't aware at that time of the rule. " Reporter: "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 Admin."" ? Snook:"I believe many ABUSE this rule, forcing this kind of trades. I presented my opinion to ADMIN at that time also. People should be encourage to report this for the community , and just get them banned, but not get the items or especially the account. Maybe a small reward like toca,ob,creds." Reporter: "There are some rumors on the server that say VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", what do you think of these rumors? Is a player who is active able reach the top without donating? " Snook:" Definitely , maybe they'd have to donate the first 2 weeks , or at least the first one. You can make a lot of credits by selling items/jwls. I made around 25-30K this edition so far I think. The game would be harder and more enjoyable without blacksmith upgrades (+12/ add luck) and therefore the credit trades will be lower , jwls will be more important and less scams, but this server is not for free , so I understand it perfectly that it needs to generate revenue for it to self sustain.Although probably PRO vip is a little OP" Reporter:"I have 4 challenges for you, do you accept them? Now it's a fixed number 😂" Snook:" Bring it on " Reporter :"Challenge no 1: I need the names of the 3 players you respect the most from Sapphire, the names of the 3 players you hate from this guild, the names of the 3 players you respect the most on OldSquad and the names of the 3 you dislike the most on OldSquad" Snook:" I respect no one from Sapphire , I've barely saw a couple of them on server, I don't hate anyone either. Hating someone over a game seems really problematic for me. I'm really indifferent with all of them. The 3 players I respect the most on OS, that's hard. I'd have to go with Voyager (very nice guy with great leadership skills), Exilia ( always minded his business and never trash talked, also had the pleasure to play in party with him for a couple of weeks and had some really, really interesting talks with him) and Diablo ( he truly understands the concept of fair play and game competition). Reporter: " Challenge no 2: Tell me 3 things you like most about our staff team, and 3 things you don't like about them!" Snook:" Well , let's see. I like how they try and come up with different events ideas , such as soccer , or OSGM. I like how seriously they take into consideration racism speech ( I believe this to be one of the problems that shouldn't exist in our time) I also like how they leave a freedom to free speach and room for fights on the server , adds some spice to the game sometimes I think they should take into consideration better actions against repetitive toxic players. I don't like how uncarelessly Admin sometimes responds to forum posts.." Reporter:" Challenge no 3: Tell us 3 things you would improve on our server and top 3 things you like the most" Snook :" Things I would improve: 1. Better balance for top events, especially IT. 2. Slower pace of game-play 3. Lower rewards from stages. " "Three things I like the most: 1. Stages 2. CS game-play 3.The server configuration and how the information is presented" Reporter: " Challenge no 4 : Tell us the council members names and your opinion about each one" Snook:" Council members at this moment are: ADMIN, Alex, Archie, Cerberus, Legion, mafy, Nephilim, snake, snook, Waste, Zutto. Admin- don't know him that well , seems like a decent guy that puts passion into this server Alex - friend of mine , biggest noob , hard to carry him for the second time, lucky for me I'm quite strong ( lots of love Alex) ; he sometimes comes up with awesome ideas for this server (ex: pvpquest) Archie - I don't know him at all Cerberus - played with him a little on Inception , seemed like a serious guy Legion - haven't seen him once so far mafy - he cares only about his own interest Nephilim - pretty decent , funny guy snake - I don't know him Snook - hopefully you'll make an idea from this interview Waste - pretty smart and funny guy , it's a pleasure to play with him Zutto - he seems to mind his own business" Reporter:" Do you strongly believe that this group of players will bring servers that will be appreciated by all players who will join?" Snook :" I truly believe each and everyone has their strengths and weakness and together I think we will complete each other and we will manage to improve the server's quality, even if it's only with a little." Reporter:" Thank you very much for time and patience, I wish you GL on all plans!" Snook:" Thank you very much also , it was a pleasure " This was Snook's Interview, a top player, council member and "behind the keyboard" seems to be a honest guy who enjoys to be a part of our community !

A controversial episode with spectacular upheavals took place last Sunday in the battle for Phoenix's Supremacy. OneSteppy, guild that held the supremacy of the server for its first time, a guild that seems to be growing and that is focusing on recruiting all active players, (they manage to recruit people even from Hardcore last week), prepare the defense, managing to gather a large number of players, organizing about 4 parties. Some "voices" told me that they were 21 players but 3 of them were afk, most of the time. On the other side, Hardcore, the guild that dominated this data base winning most of the battles for Supremacy, starts as attackers. Fewer and weaker than ever, they barely managed to gather only 10 or 11 warriors, ("voices" told me that at the start of the battle. They were only 9 at that moment) and give the impression of throwing themselves blindly in a battle without odds for win. The fight begins, Hardcore "unleashed" the attack, a pale attack, an attack in which they are massacred inside the castle, but they do not seem affected at all and continue, they manage to register several times and make some points.. The only warrior who seem to shine, from Hardcore, is "The magnificent" Crucify who knocks down everyone in his path including BedeJutro who was slayed 2-3 times by him. But everything seems lost for Hardcore, mafy dies continuously every time he gets near the crown and tries to register, we approach the last half hour and the ones from OneSteppy are almost preparing to celebrate a new victory. Tokyo "The Slayer", Voymax "The Brave" and "The Lethal" Incubus were the protagonists of this massacre, making rivers of blood flow in the throne room , and it seems like the easiest victory is already there for them because everything seems to be played, they lead with a huge difference points, at 18:22 the score was 10594 vs 3484 in their favor. Hardcore manage to record and this is the moment when the people from RISE decide to take part in the battle, and, man.. they did it, but they didn't attack to win points or to try to conquer the throne. Driven by anger and hatred they take part in this fight just to hit the OneSteppy guild, so they join on Hardcore side and starts helping them by preventing OneSteppy from registering. We enter the last half of hour and OneSteppy starts to lose precious points, they try to stay in the lead of the fight by making multiple kills and trying to move RISE warriors from switches, but they fall in to the dark and after they were on the wave believing that nothing can stop them from keeping the castle for another week, they start to feel helpless, because the victory starts to be threatened.. The time passes, they struggle, they try but they seem lost, confused, watching, as the time goes by, how the huge difference of points they had is getting smaller and smaller, the crown on BedeJutro's head starts to shake. Time flies and eventually Hardcore wins an unexpected battle with the help that some of the guild members did not want, because in past they lost the castle weeks in a row in exactly the same way, even if they dominated the fights back then, they were defeated by dirty anti-games and unfair-play strategies, they won this fight and put the crown back on mafy's head but this time the crown looks stained with dirty blood, an unexpected victory won without being fully deserved. This week I asked here and there about what happened. What made these warriors, who in the past fought on the same side, in the same guild, hate each other so much now? The first answers came from Snook and I will write down a part of the small discussion with him bellow : Reporter: " Hello! What really happened between you, guys, and OneSteppy? How did you end up here as "the worst enemies" ?" Snook : "Hello! Well, I like to think that we are the "worst enemies" because we are really good at what we're doing , especially when someone's pissing us off. What happened is that we didn't want to play with guys that think they are good when the competition is done. Stepy is a guild wihthout any principles or character." Reporter: "Are they worst than Hardcore?" Snook : "Well, you can’t really compare a guild with history on the server with a mixture of random players, even though so many from HC stopped playing, also I'm pretty sure some were happy that I did , while others probably hated it completely. We didn't do it for them " I went forward with investigation and asked ncux from OneSteppy about their point of view : ncux :" Snook was in our guild with Venom, and he was afk all the time, focusing only for lvling up, we were always asking for his help during the fights for bosses like Selupan or Medusa and he never came, Tokyo and others started a conversation about why we need those kind of players in guild, who just ask for items but never helps, so Snook left and he asked all ppl who wants to join his new guild so Waste, DarknesSBK and FKinGCunT left following him, mostly because now they are fully geared and they do not want to help low lvl guys from our guild. They are led by the principle " when you are strong you want to be in a top guild but you don't care about the newbie members" " At the beginning of this week, another important moment was the start of a war between OneSteppy and Hardcore, a war that seems to never end and that makes the safe zones from Vulcanus or Swamp to become more populated than ever, a war that hold the time in one place for these guilds because they hunt each other day and night, and if some of the players try to take refuge, going afk through safe locations they are chased by enemies and if they can't be killed, secondary characters are left on them to slow their exp down. As I write this article I see some guilds that have already registered Sign of lord, is it an attempt of Hardcore or Rise to prevent OneSteppy from taking part in the fight on Sunday? Will OneSteppy have the strength to return to the battle? Will they accumulate enough points to be able to participate?(it is already Friday and they can register only tomorrow but they cannot add Signs of Lord anymore)

I don't know if you've ever thought about this, but there was a way, back in the day (used on webzen too) of merging servers. I can't remember wether they were same style of server then merged because of lack of player or not but my suggestion is: Use your advertisement/marketing ways to announce a new FRESH start (cause somehow every mu player nowadays looks for fresh and end up on shitty servers dunno why) give them a 1/2 boost in everything (exp/jwls/droprate) nothing way overpowered, but maybe to be close-ish to the top50 in the first 1month or something of playing? (Or at least become decently competitive to non-peak hours) Then, merge the servers into one, so the population will grow on server, and i'm sure you'll get more casual players, and new hardcore players and more money (let's be honest, you need the $ to support the server, it's not surviving on thin-air, who still thinks that is a moron) I'm pretty sure webzen did this too multiple times (merging) and maybe it will help you too, since i feel like this database is going to last for at least 3months+ (during the summer) and the playerbase has been drastically lowering) I'm not saying do that, just saying think about it. (I've seen you tried boosting lvl so the new casual players feel more inclined to go, but we all know that mu-players when they see people 6rr+ on a (10rr srv) they wont join for the usual reasons:i'm to far behind bla bla etc"

I listen a lot of time what you dont wanna change the balance, but mb wu will change your mind about that ? For example CS, is map where rly can kill just vRF and eSumoner, rest of classes is just useless. SM with 1500 vit and 100 agi is unkillable, DL same BK max hit is 1500 with any stats sMG , eMG is something medium, but in any case can't make nothing. Defence, DSR from agi doesn't work, its a reason why all tanks put max vit and agi for set. RF take 1.2-1.5 DMG more whan rest but have 6-7-8k HP (rest have ~2, 2.5, 3) but can kill every one (excemp mb full vit SM with eRF or eBK buff) Sum have High kill potential with medium resistance sMG have medium to low kill potential with medium resistance eMG have medium to high kill potential with low to medium resistance sBK/aBK have low to medium kill potential and u need to rly luck to kill someone. eSM/sDL no have kill potential Elf = Support. I understand what u have another vision of game, but try to think like a player, all want to make something, not just press Q and click on swith or spam Earthshake Why ppls leave so early ? why Elf is the most unpopular character ? why from start we have a lot of sMG but on middle of game we have just 4-5? Mb 2 days PvP/PvE balance before start this is not enough ? and a lot waste time for Soccer event and in final fail its better ? @ADMIN @Gion

Regarding this Database on Phoenix, i'd like to bring to the table what i've seen and what my thoughts are: 1.I think there is a slim problem that you might want to take into consideration regarding PVP pace/ early/mid/late game. I think the ups and downs of the characters come too abbruptly. 2. I think you missthought the fast pace ability of some "really into it" players to gear up characters. They really gear themselves pretty fast, and in terms of items they are pretty much End-Game or close to being End-Game but regarding the LVL/RR/MLVL ratio, RANK1 is barely past 50% (6rr 100mlvl) and 98% of the server isn't even at 50% in terms of lvl/rr/mlvl ratio. I think we really skipped the entire mid-game aspect because taking so long to lvlup/mlvl and goldens/bosses being doable at 2-3-5 rrs with some minimum mlvl and decent items made this gap where most of us have very good items, but nothing really worth doing besides pushing RRs and MLVLs. (Maybe if the Goldens were really hard to do? Even +3/+4 to be good with this kind of really low xp? Then people wouldn't be stuck to only lvling, or just make xp Higher) 3. I feel like some characters have been a little bit too underpowered and took quite a long time for them to be buffed like AE(which i still think it's trash, nowhere near Rank1 PVM that she should be given the fact that she's absolutelly outrageous in pvp) or SM. At least SM's manashield with the lacks of EE was necessary for a party, but the AE was really just a downside, so a faster response could've helped there. 4. I think you should also reconsider the "don't make changes during an edition" mentality, it's fine if u test it, and think that they need a bit of a buff/nerf (like ARF last edition nerf, like AE buff this edition). I think the server overall is pretty interesting and well made so congratulations. It is just that i feel we achieved a PEAK in this moment, that is not worth doing anything just rr to easier MLVL cause in NonRR server usually MLVL has a huge impact in both PVM or PVP. I don't know if u ever plan on releasing a new NON RR version, but i hope these things will help you in your future endeavours. Good luck! P.S. I Also think that in this moment is also a problem that most people are under 50% in terms of exp (under 5rr 100 mlvl) and pretty amazingly geared, cause it's destabilizing the PVP, hard to kill people 1v1, sometimes impossible if you are not using scrolls+demon. P.S.2. From my experience with nonRR server we used to use Demons in pvp, but here, they die in 3 hits so that is out of the question. EDIT: I think naming it NON-RR when you are kinda forced to RR (having 0rr 25mlvl would of gotten you competitive for maybe 1month) it's also not really a god idea. Name it 10RR xD
-
i noticed that dark horse gets about 10% of the exp the player takes which seems "ok" but when you hit 400 you only get 10% of master exp which is very very low and impossible to get 70lvl horse for example 20k exp gives about 2k horse exp, 2k master exp gives 200 horse exp also horse doesnt lvl up after reset because of lvl requirements maybe increase the exp horse gets from master exp?
-
The problem here, is that you can join with 1 char/ip in CryWolf, which means, someone has to sacrifice himself to bring an ELF, and get literally nothing (maybe a slim chance at whatever balgass drops) compared to the other players fighting for the DarkElfs. I suggest that Elfs be rewarded with something, cause the main issue we're having is that when we DO fail the CW is just because no ELF is showing up and i can understand why, their reward is what? Exp for the whole server?

I myself reported this 3 times, dating back 1 month ago. Is that how is supposed to work, that noone answers these? So, BK can just sit inside Medusa/Selupan/Kundun, jump out, do a combo, then go back inside and you are unable to Target. @Gion I don't know if it's an unsolved thing, or this is how it's supposed to work, but only BK can do that.

Hellow there , I've just started again plain mu and this server looks good,just have a couple of questions 1.is the server market based on zen or something else,the curency that you buy things 2.strongest character..? 3.is elfs damage good on this server?

The episode VII was written last week on the eternal battlefield for "The Land of Trials", a unique episode like all the others, an episode in which we find a Hardcore guild torn by The Curse as defenders, the fighters of this guild gather slowly inside the castle preparing its defense, they are few, less than last week but still they manage to gather about 20 players and prepare the defense. Squadron and WIGGLE are preparing the attack, another week in which none of the attacking guilds doesn't register enough Signs of Lord to block a build, anyway, the time of the great event is approaching, their parties are forming and the siege begins. Attacking guilds quickly break down all obstacles in their path and the fight begins, Hardcore have a disadvantage of 2000 points, but they resist in this beginning of the war for glory, Hardcore start to take small steps backwards, they are close to successfully register but they lose the switches and Wiggle registers. Hardcore players seem lost as if they were taken out of the game, they woke up with difficulty and in the meantime the only ones who seem to face Squadron are the Wiggles, towards the end Squadron have a huge points advantage over the other two guilds but neither of them give up, they want points, they want rewards and they want to continue this fight even if everything seems to be already played. Squadron easily wins the fight for supremacy this week even if they did not expect to be that easy, but you can already see and feel the power of Wiggle on the server and Hardcore seem to have already given up the need to be a dominant guild with 4 battles won and three defeats versus Squadron, are they torn by the curse again? They don't seem to have the strength to fight side by side with Squadron and for the first time Hardcore finishes the fight on the third place, being defeated by Squadron and surpassed by Wiggle in points... on the other side Wiggle seem set on an enduring battle with these great guilds, they managed to finish this fight on the second place and from one week to another they are getting stronger, will they finally succeed in conquering the Castle? Will it be their era after all? Who else can reveal this secret to us than time.... ? Related to the fight for supremacy, Hardcore lost the castle but dominated the week, Selupan and Medusa were launched this week and the battle for these wonderful rewards that can be obtained by knocking down the great bosses were taken in proportion of 80% by those in Hardcore, the fight for every boss is cruel and won with a lot of sweat, but, so far, Hardcore seem to set the tone, but it's not a rule, because they were already overwhelmed at Castle Siege and because Squadron, a guild that seems to be devoid of the core (there are rumors that the main core players have already abandoned the "ship") managed to conquer the Castle and Trippy is again the demigod of the server. Will Squadron manage to equalize? Will Wiggle be able to take advantage of the weaknesses of the other dominant guilds? A few hours separate us from all these answers ... Although I told a lot, the essence comes after this castle siege for the first time, this Sunday we have another major event, the first edition of the Soccer Night will start this evening and there are over 35 registered players and the Elves and Summoners are already shaking to have an autograph with the hottest Super Star !!! Go register before is to late : https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3854-soccer-night-1-07062020/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-33553

So, there have been a few instances where my merc target happened to be in kalima1, 2, 3 etc. I think this is a bit silly, as you basically need to either carry all 7 lost maps with you to prevent the possibility, or buy one as soon as you get the quest(you certainly won't be farming a full lost map in 15 minutes). Moreover, I believe some merc players deliberately AFK there to prevent themselves being killed while they AFK. Maybe just make kalima a map where you a) don't get merc points for AFK'ing and b) if you are there, you don't pop up as a merc target?

Crucify is a player who seems to have appeared "out of nowhere" and in a relatively short time he managed to amaze us all, creating a Rage Fighter that is by far the best at Castle Siege Pvp, also he currently is ranked as 1st in the overall voter rankings, he has voted 246 times so far, and ranks 1st in the Gens rankings, in the past 7 days he has managed to make 180 raid kills and to accumulate 7257 points. Reporter : "Hello, Crucify ! Welcome to The News Paper Hall of Fame! " Crucify :" Hi " Reporter: " Can you, please, give us a description of yourself? Name, age, occupation, etc. " Crucify :"My name is Turgut, I'm from Istanbul, Turkey. 21 y/o and computer engineering student(6th term). I like traveling, still traveling cities in Turkey but I want travel between countries soon (I'll go Oulu university, Finland for study next year if we can get over this covid shit :P), also I like swimming. " Reporter: " Oooh, 21 y/o that makes you the youngest player from News Paper Hall of Fame! When did you start playing Mu Online? What nicknames you had in past? " Crucify :"Hahaha, yea :)). I started before, 7 or 8 years ago on a season 2 server with my cousin and played season 2 for long time (he's 28 y/o and he was playing over 10 years, unfortunately he is not playing on OldSquad because he don't have much free time), it's my 3rd or 4th higher season server than season 2. I used Lykia, Tr0uble, Hargreave, Prophet but last 4-5 years I use Crucify on every game. " Reporter: "How did you find OldSquad? Can you tell us a short story about your first steps on our server? Have you came alone? What was your first permanent party, what was your first guild, etc ? " Crucify :"I found Oldsquad on Xtremetop100. I checked first 10-15 servers(specially depends to webshops/services) and I saw that it's the only Play2win server. I started with my cousin and his friends on this year's Inception after 150-160 days server starts(we give a break like 1y and just wanted to play mu without for rank) then we see new server Phoenix coming. My first guild was Vikings at Inception. But even we were not in same guild, AlmightySM and Odyssey helped me and my friends too much. On Inception I was at stable party with my friends. But on phoenix they didn't play at beginning because they had no time so i was alone. My first permanent party is with Peps-Reborn-Deave-Arya but it didn't last long. Then we make stable party with Azir-Arseling-StrongOne-Skippy and now I'm in stable party with Azir-livy0u-Sosu-5GSP0RT and playing with Azir all the time(on events,bosses etc) " Reporter: "What do you think about this server and community?" Crucify :"Inception was good but I think admin is too busy to deal with Phoenix (pvp invasions fixed after 50days, disconnect problem took long too and there are always another bug). But I like this server, characters are balanced(hope admin solve ctrl bug soon) and if you are active you don't need to donate for credits. About community, mostly good, but there some toxic players " Reporter :" Did you started to play on Phoenix since day 1?" Crucify: "Yes" Reporter: "Do you have any VIP activated?" Crucify :"Not for now, I started without vip and make 150lvl sm for create rf, I usually buy vip when I got more than 3-4k credits before reset. Otherwise, I keep them for some upgrade. I buy hunter if I'm going to afk for couple days and pro for weeks that I play active(if i had credits :)) " Reporter: " How much time do you spend /day playing Mu Online? " Crucify :"It was like 4-5 hours, but in this covid situation and my father has some issues with his lungs I'm at home 7/24 for 40-50 days(also my university start to online lessons) so i spend like 8-10 hours for mu and watching some tv series when I'm not playing mu " Reporter :" Oh, sorry to hear that about your father, I hope he gets well!" Crucify :" Thanks , he needs to stop smoking for 'go better', but he doesn't" Reporter :"What advice would you give to a player who recently joined the server? What should he do to get to the top places or to get inside a top guild?" Crucify :"First of all they have to play active for all events specially BC/DS, for faster growth. When they are active for events they can join most of guilds and it becomes easier to hunt and they can find stable party in guild. " Reporter: "You said earlier that you joined Old Squad for its real play2win concept, whats your opinion now? There are many players, especially the new ones, but not only those, who say that they have no chance to reach the top because they do not donate, how do you comment on these statements?" Crucify :"Not 100% play2win, but it's much more better than other servers, someone can still donate a lot of money and get set easily but they always stay noob, even if they have full set, there are so many players like that in server, also so many top player without donate even single cent :)). All they have to do is play active." Reporter: "Isn't that all the play2win concept definition?" Crucify : "When you say play2win people think that there are no credits/vip/premium services, that's why I said not 100%, but pretty close" Reporter : " You are 1 reset behind Alex, the RF ranked no 1 in general main rankings, what happened? How come you're so far away?" Crucify :"As I said, before covid I was playing like 4-5 hours per day sometimes less and didn't join events so much, and I was really behind when I start to play-hard, that's why I didn't participate at the first 2 CS." Reporter:" What classes have you played in the past? Is Rage Fighter your favorite class?" Crucify :"I play Dark Lord usually on season 2, I tried Rage Fighter on my first season 6 server and i liked it. After that i always play Rage Fighter when it's available on server, and yes, looks like my new favorite class " Reporter: "You are currently the No. 1 Rage Fighter in the following major Old Squad ranks: Castle Siege pvp rankings, general vote rankings, and gens pvp rankings, how did you accomplish this? Crucify :"For Castle Siege, I tried so many combinations for str/vit ratio on test server, I think it's the most important reason because I was wearing plate set luck dd (which is not really good compared to my opponents) on third cs and I was the best RF, again. For gens rank I wait raid most of time and thanks to my friend Azir for calling me on raid if I sleep or afk for some reason. For vote just put an alarm " Reporter:" Can you reveal us a few tips about Rage Fighters pvp build? Can you reveal your stats and/or ML skill tree? Crucify :"If I give my stats away, every rage fighter will use them, so only advice that i can give is to find best str/vit ratio with your weapon ^^ " Reporter :" Speaking of permanent party, do you have one ? Can you tell us a few words about each member and a short story about how you guys met and got in a perma?" Crucify :"Like I said before, I was in a permanent party with Peps-Arya-Reborn-Deave, but Peps left us because we were not active as he wants, then we all split. After that, I saw that Azir was looking for a member for his party so I joined them. After few players left/joined, it became a really good party. Azir is a really funny guy and really active on events, like me, he is the reason for my fast growth :). Livy0u is a really nice guy and he really likes to help ppl. Sosu and 5GSP0RT is in our party for just 1 week, so I don't know them very good but they both seem nice too. " Reporter: "How important is, in your opinion, a permanent party on OldSquad?" Crucify :"If you want to be in top, you have to be in permanent party with shared anydesk/teamviewer information for remote control(or give phone number, like I did at first times:)) " Reporter: "Tell us about Hardcore, how were you and your party recruited in this guild?" Crucify :"Actually, I found my party in Hardcore. I started Inception after 150-160 days and I remember Maki, mafy and few more player from Old-style(I wasn't in guild, I just saw them on top). On Phoenix I saw them again and I wanted to join because they were strong on Inception " Reporter:" There are rumors that the Hardcore leaders and members are greedy, this being the main reason why many players left this guild, how do you comment these rumors ? " Crucify :"Not the leaders, just members that left/were kicked from guild were greedy (not all, but most of them). If the leaders were greedy, they wouldn't make Senior set for player that they didn't play together before :)). We share everything in guild. If more than 1 people ask for the same item, it doesn't matter if they are in their party or not, they give that item to more active one " Reporter:" Hardcore, 2 weeks ago, lost the fight for supremacy with a big difference of points in favor of Squadron, what happened? " Crucify :"So many ppl from our main guild were busy for that day, and we took some players that don't have set from alt guild Alliance. But still 3 players didn't come and 2 players were afk at CS, so we play with 20. " Reporter: " Wiggle and Squadron, the guilds you've been fighting with for so long have been disbanded, do you think the players of these two guilds will unite against yours?" Crucify :" I'm sure that they will, otherwise game will become really boring :))" Reporter: " What do you think that are the reasons why these two guilds were disbanded? " Crucify :"For Squadron, I'm sure that most toxic player, Chukundah (or his another personality Tokyo that he uses now), is the one of reasons. For Wiggle, they call us greedy but I think they are the greedy ones, because 380 weapon for guild master is not the best option atm, it could be better if they gave boxes to one of rage fighters or blade knights. " Reporter:" So, do you think that The Curse hit them so bad that they disbanded? Wiggle and Squadron are the latest victims of this cruel Curse ? Crucify :" What is The Curse ? Defeat on CS maybe? I mean I know what curse means but The Curse looks like something special " Reporter :" The curse is defined by the greed and inside scandals that comes with the fight for supremacy, also spoil share between guild members, those are the main reasons that usually most of the guilds that held Castle disbanded, for more details please start reading this: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3453-phoenix-curse-history-of-castle-lords-and-guilds/ " Crucify : "Yea, looks like this Curse hit them " Reporter :"During last Sunday, your guild easily won the fight for supremacy, what did you do differently? " Crucify: "Participation was better for that CS, we played as 25. Also some ppl from EliteS came to our guild before couple days and some of them participate CS, they did a great job too. Reporter:" How do you comment on rumors that your guild is copying Squadron in developing strategies on each battle? " Crucify :"They always have excuses :)) " Reporter:" It is rumored on the server that you are the main weapon of the guild, that without you Hardcore would not have managed to win some of previous battles because you found Trippy's "Achilles' heel", managing to kill him most of the time. How do you comment on these rumors?" Crucify:" They won before I participate CS, so I doubt about it. In my opinion Rusu is the most important person on cs because he directing everyone on voice. Sorry about stun on last cs, bro :))" Reporter : "Related to Lord Mix, from what I've seen, you're the only Hardcore Rage Fighter with a Lord Mix set, but you aren't the biggest in the guild. How were you chosen for the first set? Did the other Rage Fighters players from the guild agree to let you have this first set? Crucify: " Yes, they voted about it, the reason that I got the first set is because I was the most active rage fighter in guild and I am the best rage fighter in server even with plate set, you can see on third CS ^^" Reporter:" Who is taking the decisions in Hardcore? " Crucify: "Council. 1 people from every permanent party(some parties 2-3, if they are active most of time) in council so we take decisions together " Reporter:" Hmmm, it sounds like the newest project of Admin, so, do you already have a council where guild decisions are made? Can you name the members of this Hardcore Council?" Crucify: " Redbull, Shady, Maki, No1, Rusu, Mafy, Azir, Darkyo, Fane, Moonlight, Takeshi " Reporter:" Lately, more and more players are complaining that they have been scammed in the game, trying to buy items at prices that the market does not allow, thus being tricked. They are outraged on the forum and ask the admins to take action, what is your opinion about these events?" Crucify: " Admin is right about it, in my opinion, because this is a limit for prevent pay2win and make jewels more valuable. But still scamming is for dishonorable guys, like Chukundah. Rusu shouldn't trust him at first but I think he thinks that chuku has honor :)). Hope no one trusts him anymore." Reporter : "Do you have any enemies in the game?" Crucify :"No, I'm really new on OldSquad Community. I just don't like few toxic players but they are not strong enough to be 'my enemy'. " Reporter:" Can you tell us about the funniest moments you've experienced on OldSquad?" Crucify :"We played Inception with my friend, WhoAmI, and AlmightySM helped us so much, as I said before. When we started on Phoenix, we thought that we can join Attack guild with AlmightySM. Anyway on first day of server, WhoAmI, me and 3 other friends (that are not playing anymore) were leveling in Devias 4 and another party came and tried to KS us. WhoAmI really got pissed off and started to argue with them, then they ask us which guild we will join and WhoAmI says we will join Attack and 'kick your asses'. The funny part is he argued with Speedy(Wanheda) and his party. Only after we realized that he is one of the founders of ATTACK :)) " Reporter:" The number of online players started to decrease lately on Phoenix, what do you think that are the main reasons?" Crucify :"I think main reason is that Admin is not active and there are always another bug, i just got 3 warn from IT today morningm but I didn't participate. I was going to BC and I was warned. Also server is not easy, so new players get bored and leave. " Reporter:" Do you accept a few challenges?" Crucify :"If I understand right, you ask about players on challenges and I don't know players, I just know players in Hardcore. Am i right? " Reporter:" Well, first of all you need to accept the challenges. Who knows? It might get tricky. There will be several questions and one request, and I need details on each answer of yours." Crucify :" Nvm, I am in :))))) " Reporter :" Challenge no 1: Tell us the names of the 3 players you respect the most on OldSquad and the names of the 3 most toxic persons on Old Squad." Crucify :"I respect most Azir, mafy and Rusu and 3 most toxic players are Chuku, TrueSquad and gimiurhelm " Reporter: "Challenge no 2: Tell me 3 things you like most about the staff team of this server, and 3 things you don't like about them!" Crucify :"Admin is not active, i don't like it like everyone. Gion being too soft about bad langauge, he should give more warn/ban for swearing at family values. And Reporter looks like Squadron fan instead of neutral (no offence but everyone who can read newspaper about cs can understand that :)) " Reporter:" Challenge no 3: Give us the name of the 3 best pvp players on OldSquad !" Crucify :"Rusu, Zutto(only if he's not using macro, I don't understand about macros) and me, ofc ^^ " Reporter:" Challenge no 4 : What do you like most and what you dislike on Old Squad game play" Crucify :"Events are so important, you cant do any shit with 7/24 afk. Dynamic exp is amazing for encourage new players. Alliances can't participate on CS, so it's good, you have to make strategy instead of bringing so many ppl in the Siege. I don't like website blacksmith, especially add luck to items. There are always bugs, as I've said before. And Non-pvp events are annoying :)) " Reporter:"Challenge no 5(the in game request) :Give us a print screen with you ML skill tree build!" Crucify :" " Reporter:" Did you register for the Soccer Event tonight?" Crucify:" Yes, I was registered, but I wasn't lucky enough to be chosen" Reporter:" So, would you like Gion to increase the limit of participants?" Crucify :" Yes, it would be better i think. More players = more competition " Reporter:" Do you read the News Paper?" Crucify :" I did it only for this DB" Reporter:" What would you improve on NewsPaper ? Crucify :"Hmm, maybe you can start new series like daily things for every week, only top guild players read The War for Supremacy series. For example someone get banned today for selling item for real money. " Reporter:" Well, now I will argue about the lack of time, imagine that I am a player too and I spend 60% of my free time doing reporter job, so i am focusing on what I think that really adds '+' value for The News Paper " Crucify :"Yes, but I think that players can report to you for that daily things, with screenshots maybe, but yes, it requires so much time, it was just idea :)) " Reporter:" Since you already told us what should be improved, what do you say about all the unique and futuristic things added by Admin to a season 6 server (merecenary squad, all the / invasion, / entries, / info etc.)? Do you know that no one says anything about the cool things and only the bad ones are in the forums spotlights ? Crucify :" Except non pvp invasions, they are all useful, but I hate non-pvp invasions. " Reporter:" But not when you where a newbie and you will not stand a chance to hunt a gold when someone stronger comes and you already 60% killed it " Crucify :" Good point ! " Reporter: "Thank you very much for your time, patience and for the pure honest answers ! Now it is the time to let you send a message to the staff and to the friends/enemies !" Crucify :"Thanks to you too, I really appreciate it :)). To staff, pls feedback more on bugs. To my friends, let's destroy OneStepy too. And to my enemies, I don't have enemies :)) " This was Crucify's interview, a young player on our community, a player who has created the strongest Rage Fighter so far, and also a really nice guy, the interview lasted much more then I expected because he is a really nice guy and we also chit chat about a lot of things! Thank you again, Crucify! Wish you all the best, and I hope your father will stop smoking and he will get better!!

Last week we had one of the most unbalanced battles for Phoenix #2 supremacy, the surprise coming from Hardcore,a great guild of fighters coming to the battlefield with their heads held high, even though they suffered a shameful defeat a week ago, these warriors returned to the battlefield ready to tear apart, suffocate, destroy, and then trample on anyone and anything on their path. The fight has started, Hardcore and Wiggle unleashed the attack, Squadron in the position of defenders resisted well in the first hour of this fight, Wiggle did well also, they scored points, they counted in the start but the madness was unleashed immediately after the first hour of fight, which, by the way, was also the hour when guild leaders usually are concentrated in the consolidating or adapting strategies. But, as I said, the time for probing ended and now the bloody show with the Hardcore in the foreground begins. mafy successfully registers and Hardcore becomes the Defender, then focuses all their "cannons" on Trippy, and when he is shot down they quickly move them cannons at Slawomir, these two Guild Masters are frozen or stunned and then KOed one by one, whenever they try to register the seal, by "The magnificent" Crucify ( THE MVP of this Castle Siege). RuSuLeTzZz, "The Machine Gun", and Makiavelli, "The Ripper". These mercilessly warriors, after finishing the enemy Guild Masters, are slaughtering all the remaining enemies inside the Throne Room. These brave warriors were also assisted by the 4 elves: Shadyska EE, WhoAmI, xSOFIAx and Maria, who behaved exemplary, managing to freeze Trippy and Slawomir almost every time they were registering. Squadron, did not give up and fought until the end, even if at the end of this Castle Siege they were forced to bow their heads and kneel, again, in front of Hardcore, being defeated by a difference of over 8000 points, "The amazing" Zutto, accompanied by "The mighty" BBwojownik, "The Insane" Chukundah and Voymax "The Brave", were highlighted by the multiple kills made, as for Wiggle, they managed to gather only 4908 points at this Castle Siege, and the following warriors stood out: TzakTzak, Xeroo and Nephilim who close the top 10 killers. The warriors from Hardcore manage to sit mafy back on this most desired throne and together, at the end of this castle siege, they celebrate a victory that, although it seemed easy, was not one without sweat. After this Castle Siege, unexpected strange things happened. Squadron and Wiggle disbanded, related to Squadron, there are rumors on the server (coming from Hardcore side) that say they were so humiliated after this defeat that they disbanded the guild. I started a little investigation in which I found out that this disband was not spontaneous, that the end of this great guild on Phoenix # 2 was planned for some time, the reasons being that a large part of the "old" players from the core of this guild had quit game for some time, also some old players like Chukundah have quit game right after this Castle Siege. But as always, from the grave of a great guild another one is born, so, this new guild named OneSteppy, under the command of BedeJutro, comes to life, and BedeJutro starts to recruit all the active former Squadron players and the ones that quit Wiggle. This week, I had a short discussion with "The Amazing" Zutto in which I found out that, although he is not currently in any guild, he has not given yet his last combo on the battlefield called Valley of Loren and will follow his Polish friends in the new guild that seems to gather all the remaining forces on the server to challenge Hardcore . The following questions arise after these unexpected moves on the chessboard of the leader of this server who is fighting for supremacy: Will the OneSteppy team manage to make a team in such a short time that will be able to put those in Hardcore in difficulty this week? Did Hardcore learn from the past and will they take the next fight seriously? Below you can find a summary of the last fight achievements of the 10 players mentioned above and of the 3 Guild Masters. Rank Player Name CLASS RESETS GUILD Weekly kill points Weekly death points 1 Crucify Fist Master 4 HARDCORE 182 3 2 Zutto Blade Master 5 Squadron 130 1 3 RuSuLeTzZz Dimension Master 5 HARDCORE 115 8 4 BBwojownik Duel Master 3 Squadron 112 38 5 TszakTszak Dimension Master 4 WIGGLE 96 51 6 Voymax Fist Master 4 Squadron 75 13 7 Xeroo Fist Master 4 WIGGLE 72 38 8 DuK4N Fist Master 4 Squadron 70 18 9 Makiavelli Duel Master 5 HARDCORE 69 16 10 Nephilim Duel Master 4 WIGGLE 59 40 38 mafy Lord Emperor 5 HARDCORE 3 1 39 Trippy Lord Emperor 4 Squadron 3 16 40 Slawomir Lord Emperor 3 WIGGLE 3 20

1st. I'd like to suggest to maximize the credit limitation from 500 to 1000. 2nd. I'd like to suggest that u implement a new rule (even though harsh) of not allowing players to sell for more than the max credits allowed on market, comming with harsh punishment. I understand that if @ADMIN starts banning people that are scamming, then he cannot maintain his idea of max 500 credits. The issue is, people have been buying items for 2-3-6-10k credits from the begining of the server, and now realized the can easy "scam" with no punishments and lots of credits are lost for no apparent reason. (Also a lot of mu-players do not join the forum, compare the forum users, to in-game users and or are not reading the rules, which i understand is their fault but can be taken action by you against that). But if u add a NEW rule, against selling for more, i think would be benificial, we are losing players because they got/are getting scammed (i also understand is their own fault but let's try to prevent it somehow). There are all sorts of rules that are preventing stuff for happening in place everywhere and in my opinion this one could be beneficial also for the flow of market and also for the game itself. Maybe make a pool or something?

As we are already mid-game, i think it should be a good idea to take a look into the PVP aspect of the classes again and try a reballance? Maybe pump a little bit of some chars dmg or so. I know there are chars for PVM or PVP but i guess striving for absolute ballance is not that bad. Thank you in advance.

It's a Sunday morning, a spring Sunday, flower buds can be seen in the "ferris" wheel from Noria, trees sprouting in Lorencia, but the deeper I move towards the land of trials everything turns red, the red of the blood shed by the heroes of the past still feels in this part of the land but everything is green all around - a quiet Sunday with the market going smoothly, the sellers are looking for profit for their trades. Checking regularly the chat & market, buyers are careful to quality and price and everything is going smoothly. The morning starts to be pale because the noon begins to make its presence known, in Lorencia you can feel the first signs of the preparations for the magnificent war, the warriors are queuing up at Dopple, they want to reach the maximum capacity of their force at any cost. They try to charm their vital buffs to help them be victorious. I move on with the research and clock already rings 15:00: all brave heroes went to Elbeland, it is an overcrowded city at this moment, the great warriors trade their equipment, they look for their best weapons and combinations and they prepare hardly for the great battle, the battle yet to come ... Time passes quickly, the last hour of preparations comes, warriors are starting to merge in CryWolf, teams from Squadron and Wiggle are starting to form and everyone is eagerly waiting for the hour of battle. Squadron and Wiggle start the fight with the attackers advantage for the second week in a row, with 2000 points ahead, and with the chance to block a build, a chance that neither of the guilds took advantage of, as if they are too confident in their chances to care about "such details". On the other hand, Hardcore meticulously prepares everything, upgrades the gates and the stone statues in the Valley of Loren and everyone is focused on what is to come, waiting for their "prey" to join the fight. The clock strikes 5:00 PM, the fighters bravely advance into the valley and the fight begins. Squadron and Wiggle fight and successfully destroy the gates and statues, relatively easy, and get inside the castle, Hardcore regroups and the massacre begins. It's unbelievable, Wiggle is starting to matter in this war although they don't have enough strength, they are confident in their power and chances, they fight side by side with both guilds, they do anything to win, if not to take the castle at least to make precious points in this fight for supremacy and finally to take part of the treats. As for the great guilds fighting for supremacy, Hardcore seems to laugh in their path, they seem to have found the recipe for success because the incredible Crucify crushes everything in his path, knocking down Trippy so many times as if his defense didn't even exist in front of this great fighter , Squadron, humiliated, is starting the riot, although they deliberately gave up some territory, get behind Hardcore with 3000 points and only the first hour and 15 minutes of the fight passed. Squadron starts to catch up and to get organized, they manage to create chaos inside Hardcore, and slightly reduce the handicap... we approach the last half hour and everything starts to take shape, Wiggle although they have collected some points, they seem to step aside. Squadron attacks like a hurricane, Hardcore is based on dmg dealers and the throne room turns into a Slaughterhouse. Squadron manage to close the gap and they are dangerously close to win. But Crucify knocks down Trippy again, Makiavelli and RuSuLeTzZz, "the summoner machine gun", slaughter everyone in their path. However, Squadron manage to maintain the balance, it is a tiny difference and they manage to register. There are only 2 minutes left in the game, Squadron is very close, the ones from Hardcore seem confused, time passes quickly and it is the premiere for OldSquad, Hardcore winning by an unbelievable small difference: 20555 points for Hardcore vs 20340 on the part of those in Squadron. Hardcore wins and despite internal fights they manage to organize themselves so as to reduce the handicap and take advantage, on the other hand Squadron seem stunned especially from Crucify`s lethal hits and now they seem to be hit by The Curse, although they had the advantage of receiving the game for free, they failed to take advantage of it and were again brought to their knees by Hardcore. The score at this moment is 4-2 in favor of Hardcore, which seems invincible. I said earlier that Squadron was hit by the curse, well, because other scandals arise related to the members of this guild, there are voices that say they should be ashamed because again they stole items from guild members ( Collision was suddenly undressed) and there are voices from Hardcore accusing Chukundah of scam (these voices say that RuSuletzZz would have wanted to buy lvl 3 wings for credits from Chukundah and Chukundah accepted although he did not gave the wings after he received the credits) Leaving aside the gossip and scandals, all the merits to WIGGLE who are making the battle much more interesting. They have collected 6k+ points and I am convinced that in the future they will be a force to be reckoned with in this fight!

mana potion is only used when we don't have enough mana to use skill. this stops char attacking for while. i think bk is greatly affected by this since it resets its combo after using mana / stops attacking (correct me if im wrong). if we could put mana potion on MU helper to set our mana level consistent, we can prevent stuttering attacks. just imagine the attacks we could had overtime made without those stutterings.

I noticed dark raven stops attacking after I or another DL casts critical buff or after the buff expires. I only have 340 cmd but Im thinking about going full cmd on next reset.

The war for supremacy continued last week giving us a spectacular new battle, as in the previous week Hardcore parties were ready and over 20 warriors could be seen preparing in CryWolf safe zone. A group of warriors who abandoned Hardcore last weeks formed a new guild called Wiggle, they, under the command of Slawomir, also registered for the fight but they where not to be seen at start. Squadron started as defenders, confident in their breasts although they had some important absences, with the gates and crystals upgraded, they tried to gain valuable time by defending the castle from the first gates, they tried to divide the Hardcore warriors by opening the gates and closing them continuously. Hardcore does not seem shocked by these maneuvers because the same tactics was used last week, they managed to destroy the gates and crystals in about 13 minutes and the fight moves inside the most desired Castle. The fight is tight, Hardcore and Squadron fight as if they are at the same level of power, whenever one of the guilds loses the position of defenders they return quickly and register, so the first hour of the fight passes and the score is easy in favor of Hardcore, who started with a advantage of 2000 points and they could've make it bigger if they would've blocked a build, but for unknown reasons they didn't used this advantage. A party from Wiggle joins the fight after this first hour, although the guild seems to be starting to take shape, only a few warriors came, probably for pvp fun. The intense fight between Squadron and Hardcore continues, we are approaching the last 30 minutes and it seems that Squadron has started to reduce the handicap, the trophy is on the table, nothing seems lost for either of the two great guilds, if last week the elves from Squadron brought a great added value, seriously destabilizing Hardcore attacks and making them terribly difficult, this week without their ice arrow, Squadron seem tired, as if they don't have enough breath to fight 2 hours intensely. They start to lose ground and the fight ends with a fabulous score for those in Hardcore 17404 points vs only 14358 for those from Squadron, the guild that was affected by the lack of skilled elves, they gave the impression that they lost their balance, at least at the end of this battle. Hardcore guild is on the wave again and mafy is crowned, reaching the highest level of pride and glory, he is now the leader of the guild that holds the supremacy on the server at this moment. After this epic and glorious win for Hardcore, there are rumors that The Curse strikes this great guild again because some important members are starting to leave the guild, again there are quarrels in this guild which, although it now holds the supremacy, fails to keep the top players inside. On the other side, Squadron bleeds hardly and now they lick their wounds like bleeding dogs, but I am convinced that they will return with greater ambition and they are already preparing for a new fight. A fight that promises a lot of action and new strategies. Regarding Wiggle, I hope to see them in greater numbers on the battlefield this Sunday , the rewards are important for all participating guilds, if they manage to collect enough points to unlock them Will Hardcore win again next week? Will they be able to defend the precious Castle? Will Squadron come back stronger this week? These are the main questions for the end of this week.

I'd like to propose something regarding character market which i think it will help a lot. When u put a character for sale, allow the buyer to get all the points up untill then. Give them a free reset/stats (no MLVL) because i think this will help the flow of character market to start. I heard a lot of people (even one of my friends) complain about buying a character that has f* up stats. And i think this will help the characters to sell easier. I'm trying to sell 1 char for 2 weeks (1rr) and can't manage to do so, and i also want to buy 1 (but i want specific stats xD) Maybe you will take it into consideration. Thank you and have a nice day!

First of all i'd like to say that i'm not really astonished by the leveling power of AE, which is disturbing, given that it should be a really good class at leveling. Second, i think the AE really lacks in PVP (and this server is having a 90% pvp aspect). Given that we do not have the Buff powers (not on live at least), we are just walking ice-arrow supports at best with dramatic low dmg 1 on 1. Tried using demons,dinorants, decent to good weapon, still not that good. I also tried different items,specs on testserver in a 1v1 situation and i did poorly vs almost every class. I guess she has a decent PVM, but i find DL/RF (maybe even EMG) to be better in golden-like situations and regarding holding spots is not room for question that she's MAYBE at the middle of the pack. So what do we exactly excel at? Cause not everyone is hard-coring castle-siege. At least, for me, this server is making it really hard to aspire to castle siege atm. Thank you all and have a good day!

I'm aware that the team decides to remove EE in game for a reason and I'm fine with it. my prob is that there's now no reason for elf to add ene to use greater damage & defense at least for herself. Soo, instead of nerfing it so much that it became useless, why don't we just prevent it on using to others. With this, EE won't still exist in game without removing the option for elf to use its buffs. 0020010027288

There are different type of rankings on Old Squad, some are written... some are not. This one is a rank that cannot be seen with a single click, it requires analysis. Many of you are wondering who is the best player, who is the strongest? It is very difficult to point out who is the best, I really think that anyone can be surpassed by the others, with the time (ofc, if he loses his interest). There are some rumors on server about players that are "the best" in a certain class, but I think that you should never affirm this, or at least, not to be convinced of it. Although I don't think there is the best player on the Old Squad because there are too many good players , I will give you a top of the most popular ones, judging by the number of views received, as I like to call those players "The Most Famous" or "The Most Wanted" ones. News Paper presents you THE SUPERSTARS from all classes at this moment on Phoenix #2 : Dark Lord Most Wanted rankings : No 1 on this ranking is taken by the leader of Hardcore, mafy !!! He has at this moment 10053 views and with this score he becomes THE MOST WANTED NO 1 PLAYER ON PHOENIX #2 SERVER, at least for the moment! He is followed by Takeshi from Hardcore with 1824 views, Trippy the leader of Squadron is the most wanted no 3 , he is the leader of the guild that dominated the server for two weeks in a row, and he has been viewed 1750 times. Magic Gladiator Most Wanted rankings : In this class, the number one is Makiavelli, he is one of the most "followed" player on OldSquad, occupying no 2 on general views rankings, he managed to accumulate 9876 views, and he is followed at a considerable distance by Exilia, who managed to gather 3485 views and on the 3rd place in this ranking is BBwojownik, our top number one Kileer an Castle Siege, and he was viewed 1803 times. Soul Master Most Wanted rankings: Snook dominates this class on this "unwritten ranking", he is a top player who came out of Hardcore and joined Squadron, he and his party were always on the leading places for a long time, he is in the top 10 general rankings and he managed to obtain 2415 views. The next in this top is BugBless a player who seems to have given up the game one or two weeks ago, however he currently remains on the 2nd place with 2143 views ! On the 3rd place in this class is Mu3rTe, with 1780 views . Blade Knight Most Wanted rankings : This class is dominated by Zutto, who managed get no1 on this ranking being the most wanted Blade Knight. Zutto achieved, until now, 3960 views, he is followed closely by RedBuLL with 3903 views and on the 3rd place is Fofiter who managed to get, so far, 1685 views. Muse Elf Most Wanted rankings: This Class is dominated by Oklahoma, even that he is ranked second on main rankings in this class, Oklahoma managed to garner so far 1821 views, he is followed by ShaDyzzka, who, although owns 1st place at the moment on general reset rankings with a pretty big advantage over Oklahoma. ShaDyzzka managed to gather, so far, 1296 views. On the 3rd place in this most wanted class is JoliGarcon, who managed to gather 1196 views. Summoner Most Wanted rankings: No 1 most wanted Summoner at this moment is RuSuLeTzZz (a player that started this data base as a Blade Knight, but recently changed his class to Summoner). He dominates this ranking with 4118 views. RuSuLeTzZz is followed by Chukundah, who achieved 2918 views and no 3 Most Wanted Summoner is BabaJaga with 772 views . Rage Fighter Most Wanted rankings : Even if he is only ranked at this monent no 5 in general top Rage Fighter rankings, the most wanted Rage Fighter on our server is DuK4N. He was viewed 5738 times, ranked number two on this rank is Moonlight with 3220 views and Alex the Rage Fighter number one on Phoenix #2 main rankings has only 2661 views. Those are the most checked players on Phoenix#2 at this moment, and, as you can see, most of those TOP PLAYERS are not ranked number one on their class, they are the most wanted players because they are respected and they have an important role in the battle for supremacy or in events. This is the reason for their views, they are checked by all other players each day, most of the players from our community are checking their items, their levels, because they want to obtain info about items, where they are leveling, etc. !!! Congrats to all our SUPERSTARS, keep up the good work you are doing!
