GAMING BUDDIES

whilst i await the patching of flyff to be done, i shall blog!
flyff is actually a game that is somewhat similar to maple, as so i've read, but its a 3d game. it looks not too bad. shall go and see how long i'd last in that game. considering the watermargin online lasted barely 1 day before i went back to maple with a veangance. its gonna take a hell long time for flyff to patch cuz right now im only at version 1.3 and the most updated version is V6. rahs. neh mind i shall slowly let it patch.

was thinking of trying for kongkong close beta, but sad to say i dint receive any invitation in my mailbox. nonetheless they are still gonna continue sending out invitations until 7aug so lets just wait and see shall we.

i speak as though maple is out of my life, pronto.
and i guess, it sorta is. i mean, i dont even bother to go in everyday. there's no longer motivation to level, no fellow kakis to disturb except for brandon and jolvin who check this place regularly enough such that i dont see the need to go in to chat with them. plus one particular event just makes me wonder, if your buddies in game will truly be your buddies.
look at this scenario.
A,B and C are good friends. B and C know each other in real life. A is a msian. A and B are particularly close in game, and they go around together because A is a lvl11X priest and B is a lvl 11X dk [maplers should know what im talking about]. C helps A trains his lvl11X priest when A is busy, and in turn A helps C play. then one day, A's lvl 11X priest account got hacked. [for non gamers, please dont come tell me aiyah its only a freaking game, whats the big deal. i'll slap you, really. so just shut the trap and swallow your words if they are about to come out. ] A suspects C is the culprit, 90%. however, A doesnt want to confront C because he thinks there's no point.
question: if you were B, what would you do? B knows C in real life, and total close chummys with A. what would you do?
its very disheartening for A because its a bloody level 11X priest. god knows how much time he has invested in his account, efforts and all. the amount of millions of mesos his gear was worth. and how much real cash it would worth if he were to sell his account. and now, everything goes down the drain. if i were him, i would be simply too shocked and dumbfounded for words. and he cant do anything, simply because two of them belong to different countries. no point accusing him in maple and msn, because C would just deny his way through.
dang i feel so much pain for A.

yes this is a real life situation and A is one of my favourite boys in maple. i felt so bloody upset for him when i first heard the news. he wasnt in game, so i quitted game to come msn and check if he was alright. i guess he was already resigned to the fact by the time i got to him. :( he's upset, and so am i.
so he's gonna take a break.
whats left of the old gang, no one. what's left of the 6, became 3 and then now, zero. because i longer believe in real gaming buddies from this incident. which is precisely why i dont wanna let brandon try my account. bro, you see my point? im sorry =X but if my lvl7X DK gets hacked, i'd think i'd quit maple for good. this is nothing compared to my fave boy's account.
sigh. to put it simply, i feel soo dui for him. ><
but you know, i'll always be here for you, no matter what little help i can offer. and i offered brandon's help too! ><




offtopic: i satisfied my secret recipe cravings today by buying home 2 slices of cake. i shared them with mummy, and she kept saying we were eating gold. which is rather true, considering its sgd4.50 a slice. she wouldnt spend the money in the world for it, but i could tell she was happy eating it because she has heard about this cake shop from one of my aunts who kept raving about the cakes in secret recipe. i mean cmon, she even knows that the choc banana cake is one of the best cakes there! to think i thought mummy wouldnt know. ><
and and i did impulsive shopping today!
cakes: $9
2 books [impulse]: $26
4 pairs of earrings [one for my sister which im sure she'd love. pink buttons leii.]: $10
total damage done: $45
