Adventures in MMOland part 6

This is gonna be my last post in the actual uni schedule, but I might post more, 'cause they're fun :3

So, since this is the last time I post before the deadline, I decided to go on an explore-athon. Once I got to level 26, first stop was Zaid, which I found out is always snowing, and wasn't just 'cause I went there around Christmas.

There's not much to do there, since there's no monsters on the outskirts and I didn't fancy going through a load of warps just to see what was around me.

There's two sets of stairs that lead to...well, they didn't seem to lead anywhere, really. I got a nice view of the town, tho'. Well, I can't really call it a town. It's more of a village, really.

Then I went to Madelain; the jester town. I was hesitant to go there at first, 'cause I've had bad run-ins with jesters taking my items >.>

It's certainly a bright place. Clowns creep me a bit, and I was expecting something to jump out in front of me O_O

And there's the main attraction, I'd assume. I gotta say, there weren't many people around. I guess everyone had the same idea I did when it came to circuses XD

And there's the obligotory closeup backshot of Kiya looking at it. I wanna tinker with this and make it look like a painting sometime X3

Next I headed to 'upstream on Glasis River'. I'd already been there once with Leanne, but this was my first time alone. I fought a few Wood Golems, who are quite easy to beat, and they don't try to attack you when you're dozing off to regain health.

Then I fought some Nixies. They's stronger than Wood Golems, but give some good experience. A couple of potions sorted me right out after fighting a few of them :3

Then I decided to head back to Madelain. It was night by then, and the lights were on, which I thought looked really pretty. I have an obsession with lights in the dark for some reason.

Then, once I returned to the Madelain through the warp, it was off to sleep for Kiya, until I decide to wander around Shiltz again.

Adventures in MMOland part 5

So, I went on SealOnline to meet up with Donna. First thing I noticed was how annoyingly overcrowded Elim was with all the merchants. It managed to slow my computer down, and I've got 2gb of RAM! O_o

I finally met up with her and friended her (I had to switch servers first). And we talked for a bit on private chat, fighting some Rascal Rabbits.
That's pretty much all I did on there today. Fighting rabbit after rabbit after rabbit. Wasn't too bad, really. It's not like their experience is terrible, and it gave me something to do. I got some more items that I sold for some cegel, too :3
Anyway, there's this warp in the area that I was fighting that said not to enter unless you were a really high level. My hand slipped and I hit 'yes' instead of 'no', so I got taken there. Not for long, tho'. Two seconds after deciding to take a quick look at the place, I was something move...
I immediately ran back to the bridge entrance and look a better look. Their names were in bright red, so I knew I didn't stand a chance. After getting this screen, I headed straight back through the warp.
And finally, a random shot of Kiya looking out over the waters. The area beyond is at least partially 3D rendered, but she would never get there. Kinda deep in a 'what the hell are talking about' sorta way.

Adventures in MMOland part 4

-This first bit's mostly for the lecturers, so don't read it if you don't want to-

First of all...sorry about the lack of anything the last few days. I've had a few...problems that's kinda taken over my time. And for those who wanna know, I've got a boil on my cheek and it's made me ill. I might have to miss at least Tuesday 'cause I've gotta go to the doctors again then (already went today). My cheek is all swollen, and it hurts loads - -;;;


-Okay, now for the actual post-

The winter event's over on SealOnline, so everything's gone back to normal. The giant Christmas tree in the main square's been replaced by the more usual fountain.

Of course, since I arrived in Elim during the winter event, it wasn't a usual sight for me ^^; It's very pretty tho'. Too bad you can't paddle in it XD

I also loved being able to see the actual water effect. The snow on the ground hit is a fair bit, so I spent ages watching it flow by X3;;;

I started fighting some Beanies and Piyo's again so I could get some healing items (I have a bad habit of using them way too often). At least that way nothing'd attack me when I used the sleep command to heal, so it's win-win! :D

The grass is a weird texture. Looks more like paving stones O.o Oh well, it makes a nice effect in the distance. Also, my sister Leanna (Ayana in the game) traded me a new shiny sword ^^ And it's part purple, too, so it's even more awesome! X3

Next time I'll look arounf the other areas now they're not wintery. I love comparing stuff :3

Adventures in MMOland part 3

Okay, so here's what I've been up to lately.

I fought a giant tree with an afro and comb.

I saw a birdy. It's not very interesting, but I wasn't expecting it ^^;

There's a building with a giant book and pen on top that keeps trying to fly away like a bird.

There was a giant killer raddish XD I think it's called a Queen MooMoo.

I found one of those comedy swords. Didn't do much for my stats tho' :/

Neither did the face part of the chicken costume XD I'll stick with my MooMoo headphones.

I went on a few quests to gain more fame. It increases as you complete more tasks for people. I needed to Giant Rascal Rabbits to get Wit so the kids in a school would be smarter. I have no idea how that works, but I took the job anyway. It was great experience. Oh, and those Afro Trees earlier were to get oxygen for something. I'm too higher level to get that quest anymore, so I can't remember ^^;

The Tower of Training in the main town, Elim. There, I can learn new skills and abilities to help me out.

Oh, and guess what?














I got new gear! It's called the Aviator set. I've got all of it on except the hat, 'cause I hate how it hides the hair. All I need now is a weapon that's better than my Rascal Rabbit Cleaver, 'cause I've had that since I was in Town Newbie ^^; I don't think I've mentioned my bat wings, either. They increase my ability to dodge attacks, and I love 'em to bits ^^

If I have any more pictures, I'll scout them out. I think I took some of Town Lime the other day. It's a small place, but it's better than Zaid. I couldn't get used to that place :/ I'll post pics of that too, later, but I gotta get some first XD It costs 1,200 cegel to get there, so it's not cheap. Well, I've got about 80,000 cegel, but I'll send up spending most of that on potions.

Adventures in MMOland 2 part 1

It's been a busy week for me on SealOnline, so I'm posting this in two parts; a Christmas part and an explorer part. So, I finall graduated from Town Newbie and me and Leanne decided to head to the capital, Elim. To our surprise (though it should have been expected), it was snowing and there were Christmas decorations in the main square.

And there was Santa, too! He said he's visiting the people of Elim, but he hasn't moved from that same spot the whole time O_oThere's an extra little thing you can do where you buy a ring from a merchant and transform your pet (which floats around you, but I haven't got one yet) in to a sleigh to travel around in. I prefered to keep my money, since I'd only started the game a week beforehand, so I was pretty poor compared to most people.There's also a Christmas quest to help a crying girl out. You collect gift boxes from Bales (monsters), which they drop ocassionally, and give them to the girl to get a Shining Light item. Once you get 5 of these, you give them to the Newbie Santa and she'll give you an item. There are two items to collect, and if you get both, Santa'll give you a gift. Sounds fair enough, but you need to get 100 gift boxes for each shining light, so that's 500 gift boxes. Then you need two items, so that's 1000 boxes, and one of the item is rare, so I doubt anyone will be able to finish that quest unless they're REALLY good at this game :/So, back to Elim. As you approach the main square, you see a load of giant presents. They're actually merchants selling goods. They're actual players, too. Seems kinda boring to me. The place sure was crowded tho'. Especially with all the promotional text bubbles @_@

Adventures in MMOland Part 1

I finally got around to joining one of these! X3 I don't like online games like SecondLife, 'cause they're too....normal for my tastes. So me and Leanne went stalking around the net for one we both liked. That happened to be in the form of the overly cute online RPG, SealOnline.

So, here's my character:
Isn't she adorable? ^_^

So, on the game, I'm a Knight called Kiya and Leanne's a Mage called Ayana. Here's a pic of the two of us together:
We tried to make our hair look similar to our own, but there's not too much customisation in this game, so everyone looks similar at first...until I started equiping :3

Now I look like this:
I've been wearing a lot of brown lately, so it's pretty coincidental ^.^ I really wanna draw a pic of Kiya sometime, so I'll post it when I get around to it.

Some interesting points to make about this game.
1) There's a rabbit in the moon, just like the Japanese say, but this one's got a meat cleaver:
You get to fight these guys to train up. They're pretty cute in a killy kinda way :3

2) To gain regain health, you sleep under a newspaper:
I read that these can get upgraded to a bed, then a comfy bed if you get your fame level up enough. You do that by completing quests and the like.

You start off in Town Newbie, which is for people level 10 and lower (I'm level 11 right now, but as long as I don't leave yet, I'm okay ;P)

There's also a lovely couple of lakes there :3

I tell ya, this game is so sugary it could rot your teeth, but I don't care, 'cause I love it to bits ^.^ I've got some more screens, but I'll probably upload them some other time....if I remember to ^^;
