JUST AS PLANNED

I have noticed the sudden and violent hostility towards my blog. Wow. Looks like I have exceeded my target quota when it comes to enforcement.

Feh. Flamers can only unleash threats online, and IRL, we have laws that will whoop them with a guillotine if they ever try something like that. Flamings in my blog wasn't that intense, not even with my so-called "lies" from the past years.

I can guess... it started eversince I spearheaded the Midgard Police team into apprehending as many bots as possible in Thor. Maybe, maybe not.

In the starting part, the initial effort to detain bots was slippery, due to botters being able to escape. We're happy to say the Midgard Police already found a solution to this.

If you've read some of the news... you should know by now the Midgard Police means business. Woes and cries of botters getting caught can be seen.

And they strike like a thief in the night. So botters scheduling their bots aren't guaranteed safety, if not unsafe at all.

The Midgard Police will make botting in Thor a living hell. Ang bumangga sa katarungan, gigibain!

A long time?

Maybe I'm not the type built for blogging.

I only type when I feel like typing. If there are some things I don't want people to know, I let it perish into oblivion, and I don't care for... history.

That's because I haven't been able to update my blog. The histories, the design, even the links I promised so many people with. I feel rather ashamed about it, but that will change tonight. I hope.

On to business.

1. "HUMAN TRASH"

I find it rather amusing that people I did not aim with words reacted violently to the calling of "human trash."

Let me ask you this. Why do you care if you hear this word?

Is it because you're trying to uphold the good? Or because you yourself are hurt with those words?

A person in the ragnaboards said that by calling someone a "human trash"... you threaten their right to live.

Or does it?

In the internet, such word is so easy to type and to tell. Why make serious business out of something?

Anyhow, in Waukeen's blog, in this post, a few people still hold grudge when I said those words. I wonder why?

It all started when certain banned users forced their way back, insisting that they were banned based on contributed information from a certain chatroom, which they claim, was within their whim of privacy. Who says you can't use that as evidence to make your ruling? I have verified that evidence to be credible. Even my closest friend confirmed it.

Those who were the recipient of those angsty and bitter words are proven misfits. Botters, flamers, you name it. Human patience has its limits, and this is not the first time that I have verbally lashed at them severely. I certainly know when to and when NOT to, but I'm sure people sympathetic of me knows how it feels.

Indeed, sinners hide under human rights like a naughty child hiding under the skirt of his or her mother. Sometimes, do you even wonder if I am a human being to think like this?

Do not give someone a reason to call you names. Especially those in the pedestal. Because as much as I am on your side, I can easily go against someone whenever they do something contrary to the rules.

2. THE WATCHERS; MIDGARD POLICE

Just recently, I posted a screen capture of the Midgard Police in action, in their behalf.

It was met with cheers and jeers. Cheers because MPs are indeed doing something. Jeers... well, you don't see bots being banned yet.

In Thor, that is.

While I understand and would react the same way, do know this. The effects of the dupe wipe... overwhelmed customer support and the GMs. Even Waukeen himself said it.

3. REPUTATION

For someone in authority, I am not the type who cares what people see me as. Some see me as a menace. Some as cool. Some as windy or blowhard. Some even evil.

It reminds me of the time when Battlechaser stood up for me and called me the Machiavellian Moderator. By that, he meant that if I need to be evil to bring order and peace back, I will be so, not "that any evil action can be justified if it is done for a good purpose." In short, I do not do evil for the sake of it. Even the Hakkeshu as a collective aren't that conceited.

I have received so many threats and hates because of what I do. But it simply doesn't matter. I'm not doing it to hear hatred towards me. I want to see peace and order in the boards. And if given the chance, in the game too.

4. RAGNABOARDS

I and other moderators are planning some changes in the boards.

a. Upgrading of forums to invision powerboard 3.0 -- part of the solution to eliminate the pest we call spambots. Yes, I am just irritated by it as everyone else is.
b. Skin. I won't spoil about it, but it'll be among the changes.
c. New moderators. Some moderators will be coming back. Others will be a new generation.

5. THE BLOG

I'm toying with some design right now, it's the only free time I have (as of this writing).

Of identities and ashes...

How pathetic.

A certain candice_michelle3 started shit in the forums. WHich got her promptly banned.

However, upon inspection, it turned out this has deeper roots than initially seen.

Refer to the list below.

18 corpses to burn. Indeed. I feel no remorse burning these incarnations to oblivion.

Grievances like Baldur's connection quality is no excuse. You break the rules, you will pay for it with your life, dignity, and your descendants.

What happened to KILLpRObots?

The forum associated with it has disappeared. My friend's space there, together with the domain itself, has expired.

But that did not mean KPB was a failure. It wasn't. KPB helped the pRO GMs in the effort in countering bots, by giving them information, programs, and suggestions.

Stay tuned to this place for the reintroduction of KillpRObots. I'll give you a hint as to what happened to it.

It finally got the official support it needed.

In the end, the law prevails

When we last left the bot debate, it was clear they were doing it to discredit all anti-botting initiatives and to dissuade Level-Up from ever acting against it.

Whatever they were trying certainly was doomed to fail.

For one, Waukeen, like me, is hellbent on destroying this pest that has infected Ragnarok for over four years. That's despite him being a botter once.

Another, I was merely playing along in their play of debate at why botters hold pRO together and that their removal would spell doom for RO. Almost all their points were refuted, yet they still insist on things. It didn't save them from being banned for botting advocacy.

As a result, Legato and his puppet account yoh_asakura, and Pax Lucis have been permanently banned (and will eventually become Persona non Grata) from the ragnaboards for their incurable and foolish advocacy of botting. Sure, they deny advocating bots, but with their rabid criticism (of which many are negative, dumbfounded and baseless, like their adherence to Shiela Paul's admission-- which BTW is now nullified due to recent events Level-Up has made) and their general put-down attitudes towards any sign of enforcement... like with the Midgard Police, makes them obvious they weren't just looking for a friendly (which I highly doubt) debate... they were ensuring the future of the botters.

I'm sure there are more posters worthy of permanent banning due to advocacy of bots. But one would wonder... Why? Why defend these lawless elements? Despite the debate nature, the policy about botting is one of the rules considered dogma; unquestionable and absolute. Despite LU's lack of enforcement regarding that rule, it didn't mean they were consenting usage of bots. They should've removed that from the rules if it were so, but they never did. Which is good, considering lots of MMO companies will take advantage of that, and will hasten their demise.

Pax may now argue it was a debate and no advocacy was in it. But I've seen his advocacy OUTSIDE his posts. Same with Legato. That debate was made for me to gague how honest they were in regards that they were merely debating. You'ld be surprised to know how much it revealed about them.

You are with the future or you are against it. The future of order, a future without bots, and with happy and law-abiding players is being made. I, and many other people who still believe in the future of Ragnarok, will not let these scum survive.

The "whose are you" post!

Influenced by Morrigan's post, I've decided to take this for a spin...

You Are 70% Evil

You are very evil. And you're too evil to care. Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot.

You Are the Super Ego

While some people may think first and act later... you often don't act at all. You rather be safe than sorry, and you take ethics pretty seriously. Like everyone, you have some pretty crazy desires. But unlike everyone, you restrain yourself. You have high standards for your own behavior. And you happily exceed them.

Are You Id, Ego, or Superego?

You Are the Index Finger

You are ambitious, driven, and capable. You aren't afraid to take responsibility for your actions - or place the blame on whoever deserves it. You are honest, free thinking, and objective. You see things in your own way - and you aren't afraid to let everyone know about it. You get along well with: The Thumb Stay away from: The Ring Finger

What Finger Are You?

You Are a Realist

You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass. You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is... But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on. You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

Are You An Optimist or Pessimist?

You Have Your Emotions in Check

You are an incredibly stable and happy person. Ever consider being a therapist? You have figured out how to keep a positive outlook, no matter what. You don't have an easier life than anyone else. You just have figured things out a little more.

Can You Keep Your Emotions in Check?

You Are Destined to Rule the World

You have the makings of a very evil dictator... Which is both kind of cool and kind of scary! Will you rule the world? Maybe. Maybe not. But at least you know that you could.

Are You Destined For World Domination?

You are a PC

You're practical, thrifty, and able to do almost anything. Appearances and trends aren't important to you. You just like to get the job done.

Are You a Mac or a PC?

You Are 54% Perfectionist

No one would call you a perfectionist, but you definitely have a side of you that strives to be perfect. Try to see your mistakes as learning experiences, and don't be so hard on yourself when you screw up!

Are You a Perfectionist?

Your Pride Quotient: 32%

You're a little prideful, but nothing out of the norm. Like everyone, you enjoy attention. But you're also good at sharing the spotlight!

You're a very powerful person, and you know that all of your power comes from within. Keep on doing what you're doing, and you'll reach your goals.

How Powerful Are You?

Hmm... That looks a lot too much for a decent post. That will be all for now.

Rant Part Deux

Kapag kinalaban mo ang batas, kahit anong talino mo, kahit anong kisig mo, ikaw pa rin ang talo. (When you rebel against the law, desipite your intelligence, despite all your strength, you're still the loser.)

How many people have you met are arrogant enough to claim botters keep pRO alive? How many of these claim that pRO owes its existence to botters?

There may be a lot, but it is time to bring back the correct figures.

Studying an existing iRO with staunch anti-botting policy or zero botting, yes, there is a few amount of players, but iRO's situation is different; disgruntled players, boring content, rude community, and melancholy, isn't something that makes an active server.

So many people have accused me of being cruel to the RO franchise. I, as someone claims, would be the cause of RO's demise, because of impending removal of bots.

Excuse me, but that reeks of sourgraping. For now, botters think I am a mere joke or a dog that doesn't bite. My bite doesn't come from my mouth. It comes from what will happen.

And as with awhile ago, the reality that bots will no longer be a part of RO sets in, the sourgraping comes. The doomsday cultists come. The threats pour in.

They do this until bots somehow comes back to RO.

Sono teidou ka? Is this all what you know to do? Indeed, unevolved and primitive thinking! Selfish and inconsiderate! Anarchist and self-centered!

RO, for all its old-school graphics, still has a charm, unmatched by even the most modern of games. It will draw people to come back for as long as the conditions are right, and the playing environment is balanced.

Those who desperately argue and rationalize their crime, the crime of using bots and/or promoting people to use bots, will find no refuge in the advancing future, the law, and karma, who knows the true nature of their hearts. My words may be a joke to these people, but karma gets their man every single time, without fail.

If you cannot adapt with the future of eventual order, you have no place in it.

When one must sin to survive... hah!

During the holy weeks, I took a vacation where I mostly meditated.

After the holy week, I decided to go back and meditate again, following the favorable conditions, and the fact that I can afford it.

But when I went back to duty... ugh.

First, there were people who were playing the dating game with me. This was already told to me by colleague Nirvelli, and I'm disgusted by this.

Now this.

It seems that pRO is fitted with yet another antibot feature. How I knew this?

My friends told me that there's a very strange absence of bots serverwide. To my pleasant surprise.

Until I visited the ragnaboards and went on with my usual rounds.

Typically, a botter, with a foreign IP, posted "a world without bots"

IRO is dead(serious) about hunting down and banning botscheck out the end result:http://forums.roempire.com/showthread.php?t=144995

What is this lunatic thinking? Or more specifically, what powerful drug has he been smoking to come up with such conclusion?!

This is an example of pathetic assumptions based solely on personal desires. On top of promoting to break the rules.

And Pax Lucis, who apparently is a warfreak, debated with me to the very end. Until moderator Sakura, speaking through Nirvelli, told to break it up.

Other moderators don't really trust Pax and his intentions. My colleagues tell me he too is a botter... While I cannot prove this immediately, I should at least state this, because the circumstances covering his unusual disapproval against Level-Up enforcing the rules; especially those in regards to botting.

Was his argument "Look at the situation! If you kill the bots, there will be nothing left in Ragnarok! These botters will never return to RO anymore! You cannot press for a move to remove all bots this late! The game will die if you destroy all bots!" valid, or mere sourgraping following recent actions?

True enough, he tried very hard, using logic, realism, and occasional fault-finding to further his argument. But it was an argument doomed to fail right from the start. When you're challenging policies, policies not even those in authority are immune to, by default, those who are against it always loses.

He argues how can a policy be valid when no one follows/enforces it? It will always remain a valid policy. People may ignore or not implement such policies, but it will never change the fact that it is a policy indeed. Just because the bible had rules we don't follow doesn't mean those rules don't apply to us anymore, merely because we don't recognize it as rules. Guess what, they STILL are rules! And it still applies!

Only those who authored a policy/rule can change them. In an official ceremony and in an official word.

Why is this world filled with fools; greedy fools who will do everything and anything to maintain their twisted lifestyle? To boot, these mortals, who will never bring their ill-gotten fame, levels and glamor to their graves, have the nerves with a sharp tounge.

And they wondered why there are people who do not like humanity at all. They'll never understand because they are the ones benefitting from it.

This is one of my arguments that rings true not only in Ragnarok, but in real life as well...

Allow yourselves to be used by evil, or a tool of evil, and you yourselves commit a crime. When you consciously know the evils behind it, yet do it, without regret, that's graver than grave.

Being an accessory to a crime may give you less liability, but you still have commited a crime.

This quote of mine may sound like Martial Law, but sadly, this is true.

The question is not about respect. Whether you like the guts of the enforcer or not, rules are to be followed, or consequences will happen, implied or otherwise.

The enforcer implementing the rules should be followed at all times, especially when you are on their territory. Resistance equates to a less-than-pleasant experience.

And when you claim total victory under questionable circumstances, you become less than a man. You become a crab who only cares for one's own pride, and becoming righteous, even when you are in no position to do so.

Like this.

Eh... 12:45am. I'm leaving this thread. Pax Lucis you can finish it off. One last thing.Geonitz, you know you lost this match. You know who you remind me of? sudius. sudius was a very arrogant and stubborn/constant TS in the Gunslinger Section who refused to give up. But eventually, sudius did give up and stopped posting. Only there it wasn't Pax Lucis and I, it was Yralyn and I.'Till we meet again.

He spoke a lot of bot advocacy, by the way. Want proof? Here's a glaring one.

No Geonitz, you are asserting what YOU believe. I don't think that "people must use bots for the game to survive". I think that people must use bots for the game to have real lives! I want you guys to look at Geonitz's blog and tell me what you think. In my opinion, it's pretty paranoid if you ask me. He talks about how he hates the human race?

Paranoid? Me hating the human race? It has probable cause, if any, but this words will bring you right back to reality.

A person having a real life by using bots? No matter what you say, no matter how you rationalize, it's never an excuse to break what is considered policy, moral or otherwise.

Sad isn't it?

It seems that the grim reaper of the Ragnaboards will have a lot of bounty later on.

Will it be me? Will it be one of my colleagues? It'll be easy to tell.

In ending, there's a policy before that prohibited challenging rules that are set, many of these which are dogma. I should have that rule reinstated.

Disappointments

It's sad that most of my comrades have been preoccupied by their real lives.

I miss the old days when we all worked as a team and worked things out as one.

But, ah, we all do not grow any younger. We get families. We get children. We age.

Perhaps I should be happy that I have given up my humanity ages ago.

However, even yours truly, with the powers of Orochi, is not immune to the damnation humanity has imposed. (Though I don't get to suffer the same fate as they do in certain situations, heh.)

Humans fear what lies ahead. This is because it's literally unchartered territory, and the fear of making the fatal mistake is dominant.

On another note, on Women's day, I read Morrigian's blog (linked from here, check out the links) and read all about a poem dedicated to women. Let me snip a sample of it.

If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait
If she is late, she says that's a girl's way
If you visit another man, you're not putting in "quality time"
If she is visited by another woman, "oh it's natural, we are girls"
If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold
If you kiss her often, she yells that you are taking advantage
If you fail to help her in crossing the street, you lack ethics
If you do, she thinks it's just one of men's tactics for seduction
If you stare at another woman, she accuses you of flirting
If she is stared by other men, she says that they are just admiring

Let me comment on this as an Orochi. I'm more effective at this rather as being Kaiba, where I'm more likely to say stuff that I would regret later.

Women may have their excuse of getting exclusivity and getting the excuses they need to get their way... but this is inequality at its worst. People are forced to make excuses for a woman. This is not right.

Moreover, it imposes things that are outright unfair. It is right when done to a woman, but WRONG when done to a man. This is certainly twisted.

In the aspect of romance and value, this would be excusable and tolerable.
This is unacceptable for someone like me.

But why, you ask?

When people asked long time ago for gender equality, women got what they want.
But as time goes by, women realize their potential, value, and power. Without respect to the other gender, this brings women to an uneven slope; the exact inverse of what has happened before, when the men were dominant.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against women being successful; but when they use their position to gain unfair advantage, to the point of trampling men over like they're nothing, this is where trouble starts.

My words may reek of communism, but man and woman should work hand in hand, not work against the other. When this happens, you do not get harmony in the world, and you set each other into inevitable self-destruction.

Neither men nor women can live without the other. Men alone can't procreate. Neither can women.

And I'm still looking for a good blog design. All my drafts are horrible, and I'm not going to stop until I find a design that fits.

The blood runs wild, again...!

I have updated the Blogger platform for this blog.

And today, Ragnaboards has once again, given rise to my persona.

The persona that hated humans.

I can never wonder for myself as to why I've never liked the human race. And like my alter ego, seek any opportunity to bring them to ruins.

I've always joked, when I first used this alias, that I would one day go wild and act exactly like him, and feel overwhelming hatred for the human race. As a moderator persona, I only utilize the fearsome side of him that I use to reinforce my assertion.

But little did I know that I was slowly beginning to act like him. Think like him. Reason like him. The only thing needed are my other counterparts; Yashiro, Shermie, Chris, and the others.

But let's be serious. I'll admit that I, as my own, and not as Goenitz, hate humankind too. But, perhaps, unlike the real Goenitz, I would still see a ray of hope for those who are striving to be different from the mundane. The real Goenitz, and the whole of the Hakkeshu, would simply say, "Death to all humankind!"

The difference is, people in the unrepentant wrong will always be the foremost recipients of the hatred that I have for humankind, and give those who repent another chance. The Hakkeshu, on the other hand, will always dispense hatred, repentant or not.

But there are times I act like a Hakkeshu. The jeers and cheers of the sinners only fuel this. A taunt that I have been defeated by Kyo, Iori and Kagura? That means nothing, in fact, I thank you for reminding me, and now, I am less sympathetic to humans. And when I'm detached to them, I am able to do things that a human have great difficulty doing; dispense justice even to the best of friends.

Shouldn't I be thankful to the botting community/botters/lamers/flamers/bot advocates for indirectly fueling what I do best? Maybe. Useful as they are, in the end, they too will see red. A sea of blood. From their own bodies.

Septette for the Dead Princess

Let me tell you about one music my friend let me listen to, some days ago.

He told me it was an arranged tune from a shooting game. And the track title is Septette for the Dead Princess.

He made me listen to the original and the arranged tunes. It's not a funerary music. The arranged track sounds like one, however, and it sounds like a theme track for a movie.

But you know what is strange? I could see a complete flashback from the beginning of my existence as an RB moderator when I listen to the music. How touching, indeed.

Once I find a suitable host, I could upload the track and let you listen to it. This isn't possible currently, because the MP3 is quite large.

More of things from the underworld

Greetings. It has been a while since I posted, and I have been convinced by several factors to return to journalizing my actions.

1. I have more free time now.
2. There are things that I feel people must know more.
3. I have more acquaintances back in the blogging.

However, several people I know have left LU, including Phage. A sad event indeed. But she still continues in the blogging, despite the departure.

And now the explanation; what's in the underworld?

Server problems.

Do any of you recall Hell Week? My, what an infamous event forever engraved in people's memories. People's faith to LU were tested to the very limit, but in the end, this was all worked out.

People should learn to strengthen their faith, instead of assuming, complaining, and cursing. Life would be more simple that way.

And yes, I still hate bots, and will still do everything and anything to destroy them. Even if it takes an Orochi-style Armageddon to make this happen. Yeah, bad for company profit, but money is regainable. Integrity and reputation, isn't as easy as money.

Thorians, a call to arms!

To combat the inferior and ancient race of botters, all of us glorious residents of Thor must cooperate and stick together.

1. Report all bots, together with a working configuration file, to Level-up Games customer support. I, Seto kaiba or better known as Goenitz, will also accept such data.
2. Encourage the players to go to Thor and forsake the old world, now riddled with filth.
3. Report Thor botters to Customer Support. The evidence you must submit must be verifiable, accurate, and most importantly, true.
4. Report to Level-Up all progresses of botters, their developers, and their allies. You shall not show allegiance to these weak beings and their minions.

There are also other ways you can help, but these 3 creeds are enough for me.

Also, in other news, _XP_, also known as h0t_chikk, has been advocating bots in the ragnaboards and after exposing his or her nefarious lies, promptly banned, and his/her trading thread destroyed.

This person claims neither Gravity can do anything about the bots and bots are part of Ragnarok.

I then pointed out this quote...

SO IF TOTOONG MATATALINO ANG LEVELUP
ALAM NILA KUNG PAANO ITO MA ISTOP





ako alam ko, baka gs2 nyo malaman paano ito ma istop

And this was his/her reply.

your just a Sh!t moderator.
you know nothing.

LoL.

And thus, the damnation of his/her regular account. I will also see to it that his/her Thor account in RO be banned as well.

me knowing nothing, huh? Your greatest mistake, was to underestimate me.

Enjoy your stay in the toilet of hell, bitch.

A REMINDER.

Rules and enforcement covers people of all kind and condition. People who are sick or ill are not exempt from the rule. Well, maybe those who don't have sound thinking capacity. But my choice; they have to follow too or they will be caught.

Also, arrogance and pride from a mere member is looked down upon by any community. Their intelligence are nullified from the fact that the person lacks Emotional Quotient or Socialization Skills. As the saying goes, it's my way or the highway.

Or is that diseases or certain conditions erode these vital faculties of human thinking? We may never know, but for sure, they're no excuse to cause trouble.

I'm particularly antagonistic of people who use their disabilities as an excuse to cause trouble. There's nothing more annoying than using one's priviledges to cause nothing more than disharmony, strife and conflict.

Especially those people who carries the trait of their severe dislikes. Hypocricy at it's best.

RPC 2006

Still a memorable and enjoyable experience despite the typhoon that preceeded it. (It will also be succeeded by another typhoon the day after-- be warned!)

From Hatred, now, the new champions of RPC is from Odin server, Armed N Loaded!

From me, my sincerest CONGRATULATIONS! Keep up the good work! You will be representing us in the Ragnarok World Championship!

The true legality of bots.

Once and for all, let's settle this.

The INQ7 article that LU has said to given up bots has given rise to proud botters, arguing that their activities are now legal and will not be stopped.

But is such spineless activities truly tolerated?

Let us dissect the article one by one.

If you can t beat them, join them. And for online game distributor Level-Up! it would be time to capitalize on the growing popularity of real-money trading (RMT) and bots.

They have realized how wrong this mentality is. Why did you think they put up Thor server WITH Ragdefender, if they are hopeless in terms of erradication. Furthermore, WHY WOULD THEY WASTE MONEY ON A HOPELESS CAUSE? Businessmen do not waste money.

The company is even planning to have an online auction of rare items on June 28. Although the online auction is not new for the company, the money would be real and not just using Ragnarok s zenny currency.

As for RMT, there are changes of heart upon this matter. Newer MMO models actually promote and tolerate RMT. But why is RMT actually banned here, while tolerated in others?

Simple. You can't tell the trustworthiness of a typical seller, and there are no safeguards should the unlikely happen!

The newer MMO models have a way to secure this; Credit cards and age verification. Plus and auction system where your credentials are visible, plus the provisions of rewards and penalties for users.

But this is not our subject.

And for users of automated Ragnarok characters called bots, the company said it is allowing players to continue using them if only to collect zennies and items. Only during guild competitions would bot users not be allowed entry.

This does not mean the absolute tolerance for bots. Bots still have the restrictions as seen in the 2nd sentence. To say bots are allowed is a mistake; they still have limits.

And with Thor coming, the views of the company is changing regarding this; They haven't really given up upon the situation.

The online game community has become so organic and so diverse that it would be hard to control people from going beyond the bounds of game rules. It s not cheating anymore because everyone is doing it already and it s becoming beneficial for everyone, according to Level-Up! Chief Operating Officer Sheila Paul.

Likewise, a world filled with filth, and to kill them, the world must perish.

So what would you logically do, without hurting existing life?

Make a new world where such things will not exist in the first place!

It s becoming a lucrative business and for one thing, even bot users still have to pay for the time they play the game, Paul said.

Paul admitted that at any given time, a fifth of Ragnarok players are using bots.

While Level-Up! has limited methods against RMTs, the company is still hoping to manage bot users by telling guild masters to monitor their members.

But our message about RMT and bot usage is this: if you re using them, be responsible, Paul said.

Unfortunately, have you seen the attitudes of botters?

Spineless, insensitive and scheming criminals in-the-making. They will grow to be more of society's bane.

Botters' excuse of real life as to not play and rely on cheats are comparable to that of the excuse of stealing to survive.

A laughable excuse, might I add.

And bots are not the only classified 3rd-party programs still under prohibition.

There are fools that still believe on this INQ7 article as their gold-brazen savior.

How pathetic.

Moreover, the LU articles in their announcement in their website do not reflect the hopelessness in INQ7.

Now who are you more inclined to believe? The one in the newspaper or the one who themselves speak?

Newspapers are the middleman. They tend to get the message all wrong, a common mistake where messages get distorted.

Now if it is the people themselves who would speak, it is more deterministic and trustworthy.

To point this further, let's quote the latest Thor news.

For Philippine Ragnarok Online players who want a fresh start, a new and better beginning will be arriving very soon! On September 21, pRO will be launching an entirely new server called Thor. Named after the Thunder God of Norse mythology, Thor server aims to encourage players to start a new life - bringing them back to their gaming roots and restore the basic elements of playing online games.

One of the main features of Thor is Ragdefender. This software helps prevent illegal third-party programs from entering the server and allows true online gaming to exist for all players to enjoy. Now, Ragnarok players can experience a more fair play and once again feel the fun and excitement of being with “real” players – the way it should be.

See? Under the logic of the INQ7 article, what LU is doing is a complete contradiction.

And we trust LU's words more than a mere news article.

But does this mean INQ7 or Inquirer are publishing a false story?

I wish not to comment on that. There are such matters about it that are far complex for discussion here. Let's leave it at that.

It's been a while.

It's been a long while since I set foot in my blog.

I have been busy both in job and irl.

Firstly, Thor, the anti-bot server will come in the 21st of September. Cheers and jeers abound, I am among these people who rallied that LU do something about the sickness that plagues pRO.

It paid off.

But then, new enemies will come. New challenges, and new destinies.

I am not afraid of my reputation; Such wordly statuses mean nothing in the end.

The destiny in the end is what will define the worth of all your deeds.

Idiotic hackers who doesn't know their victims.

Ragnaboards appears to have been compromised by witless hackers who simply had too much of free time.

But take heart. LU will do somethng about this. Because of the situation, Ragnaboards will be temporarily down until the security issues are resolved.

Another thing, those hackers are attention whores. Don't feed them because that's what they want you to do.

And another; the hackers are high and mighty thinking they have RO database on their clutches and that they hacked LU's network. Well, that's simply a pile of dung. Firstly, it (Ragnaboards) is under Yehey's network, LU does not have direct access to Yehey's facilities. Second, RO servers are nowhere near Yehey's facilities.

What does that show? The hacker is dumber than dumb. A mere script-kiddie. A noob.

They have been barking on the wrong tree all these times.

Idiocy and Stupidy from moronic personalities.

An update from yesterday's Scrooge-esque action.

I placed in permanent moderation status a certain "Santa Claus" in the ragnaboards.

Now, according to colleague Chiyo, he created several more accounts for trolling.

Ahahahahaa.

He's no santa after all. Just a plain lamer.

In other news, Cammy and his bastard boyfriend of an incredibly retarded orgy of Tulfo fanboys and fangirls have been spotted again on their nth account and have been beheaded on sight. Seriously, you two, get a bed plane to Canada already and cry your half-grown heart out there were no one gives a shit about you. Tulfo is not going to give you vindication. Just get the fuck out of the Philippines, because you're no different from hypocrites and lamers, by breaking rules to get your way.

Just how do you think flooding, making untrue statements (sup goenitz is miriam?) and breaking the rules justify your self-centered motives hmm? You're hypocrites. Its no wonder whoever edited your signatures thinks you really don't have the right anymore to be in the ragnaboards, and really thinks you two are walking mules.

And no, I know better than editing signatures like that.

The same personalities are possibly behind a pathetic smear campaign against the moderators team. Either that or its the work of more disgruntled members who were caught violating the rules.

Here is a sample of their mundane bitchings.

uu bc sila nagpapaphp eh... bc sila sa pag ban sa marami kong accnt dito sa rb wahaha.. mga kurakot kc mods kita mo yan d nila yan aausin agad kc lazy sila active lang sa boards kc na ngangamoy ung baho nila

Maybe if I do that in your hometurf, he won't act the same? He's thinking he doesn't stink, but he already does, by breaking rules. And his pea-brain won't digest it, because he's only a self-serving bastard.

bat nyo erase posts ko? kc 22o dba?? y be silent para kaung c gloria d nagiimik kc 22o hayy anu 22o ba??? bat nyo nggwa un?? kapos sa pera?? dami nyo na gawa n nakakasira sa mga tao.. alam nyo b feeling ng nahahack delete???? anu kaya kng ikaw masunog bahy mo ganun feeling pag na hack delete haayyy amg pplastic nyo

This is logic made out of a laughingstock. Yes, people, he doesn't know what he's saying. He claims he's hack-deleted and yet he doesn't post proof, and worse, he doesn't post in compliance to the house rules of the Ragnaboards.

anu mods??? anu na???????????? **** kayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
laht ng tao dito gawa kau ng new accnt tapos post nyo baho ng mods.

And their "baho" fails and crumbles upon scrutiny.

I wonder and await the next reply of this goat who obviously doesn't take a bath. It shows that he's lacking the proper educationa and decorum. Poor parents, they should've aborted him long time ago. We don't need these kinds of people in society.

Hum.

Today's news.

Santa Claus suffering from alzheimer's. New moderators watch in awe as he was suddenly muted.

Even Goenitz doesn't respect christmas icons when it comes to the law.

Also, news says that two hackers from another gaming company is behind the HD's that plagued pRO. Sounds dubious, but it would be best to get to the bottom of it.

Hm.
