You already use Bots. Be contented with it.

Ragnarok Online in the Philippines is a big success. With over 10,000 players on 1 server on its first launch, its no wonder the competition is stiff, and several players want to gain an “edge” to other players. This is where Bots come into picture. Bots are automated programs designed specifically for one purpose: to let you gain extra levels- even while sleeping. It became an epidemic and uncontrollable that Levelup!games, the company who hosts the game actually gave up in eradicating it. It’s no problem to players since almost all uses it anyway.

Bots alone is a form of cheating. But as I’ve said, it already became some sort of necessity in order to survive in the game. But some people wanted more. In my site alone, keywords like “Zenny Duplicators” and “Item generators” are common. To make things everything clear and shut the idiotic dreamers who think such programs exists, NO, IT DOES NOT EXIST! And to make to shut your sorry asses more, here’s a piece of question: You are bot. Now you actually want for forge/fake money? Isn’t pathetic? It kills the game you know

Philippine’s Combat Against Piracy a Big Joke

“Software piracy rate in the Philippines went down to 71% in 2004, a decrease of 1% from the 2003 level. However, losses due to software piracy increased to US$69 million (PhP3.7 billion) from US$55 million last year. In the Asia Pacific, 53% of the software installed on personal computers was pirated in 2004, the same level as in 2003, with losses increasing from US$7.5 billion to almost US$8 billion.” – BSA

Despite enormous publicity of government about piracy, their efforts are miniscule to be exactly called, uh, effort. I’ve seen countless breaking news of pirated stalls raided, and usually, it’s the same place as before - Greenhills. I cannot understand why stiff IP (Intellectual Property) laws as portrayed on T.V. cannot prevent the perpetrators from selling their illegal goods again. But one thing is certain, the fight against piracy in the Philippines is beginning to become a political tool-A mask perfect for gaining the people’s confidence to the government.

Filipino software programmers are discouraged to make programs- and they have reason to be. While most Filipino people buy Pirated movies and softwares instead of licensed ones, Software programmers cry as their masterpieces spread to every computer like a virus, without compensation. They won’t even get a thank you remark. For a common pirated buyer, this mean nothing to them. But for a developing country like the Philippines where ICT is a critical tool for success, it’s a big problem.

The government must employ stricter policies to combat this crime. Piracy is not something to be taken lightly. Php3.7 billion losses is not just a shimmering number. It shows how lame our policies are and our fight against piracy

Assassin Cross Build

Ragnarok Game - Builds - Assassin Cross

I'm tired of seeing SB builds, SD builds. Heck, here's a hybrid guide!

For those planning to make an SB sinX, Here's my Build. This is still experimental and i'm still waiting for mine to reach Base 99/Job 70. So all here is still theoretical. Feel free to tweak it to suit your taste. (But don't make one the same as below. I still don't know what this build can do. Atleast not until mine reaches max level.)


Included a damage simulation with Orc Lord and Emperium using the weapons indicated and the build explanation below.


Damage Simulation with Orc Lord DD mode

Minimum Damage 3993(190)
Average Damage 4710(213.5)
Maximum Damage 5498(237)
Damage Per Second 9556.85
Minimum Number of Hits 47
Average Number of Hits 54
Maximum Number of Hits 64

Damage Simulation with Orc Lord SB mode

Minimum Damage 12665
Average Damage 14208
Maximum Damage 15743
Damage Per Second 7104
Minimum Number of Hits 25
Average Number of Hits 28
Maximum Number of Hits 32
Average Battle Durration 56s

Damage Simulation with Orc Lord SD mode (Using the same weapon for DD, assuming there's no time to equip +10 3 hardworking Saber on right hand)
Minimum Damage 9207(6900+2307)

Average Damage 10719(8150+2569)
Maximum Damage 12331(9500+2831)
Damage Per Second 3533.74
Minimum Number of Hits 32
Average Number of Hits 37
Maximum Number of Hits 43
Average Battle Durration 112.23s

Damage Simulation with Emperium (Dual Wielding Ice pick/+10 2 racial/size cards + Cursed water)

Minimum Damage 3766(162)
Average Damage 4161(172.5)
Maximum Damage 4614(183)
Damage Per Second 8421.74
Minimum Number of Hits 10
Average Number of Hits 11
Maximum Number of Hits 12
Average Battle Durration 8.37s

Damage Simulation with Orc Lord, GT mode

Minimum Damage 2585
Average Damage 3109
Maximum Damage 3627
Damage Per Second 5757.41
Minimum Number of Hits 109
Average Number of Hits 127
Maximum Number of Hits 153
Average Battle Durration 68.58s

Build:

Str 95 + 25 = 120
Int 30 + 10 = 40
Agi 55 + 15 = 70
Dex 58 + 22 = 80
Vit 47 + 3 = 50
Luk 2 + 8 = 10

All stats boosted with Blessing

ASPD when dual wielding: 161.9 with awakes
ASPD when katar: 172.8

HP 13226
SP 765

Accesories:
2 GoMs

Weapons DD mode - +10 2 racial damascus, Ice pick
Weapons SB Mode - +9 Infiltrator

Key Skills:
KM 10
AdKM 5
SD 10
Right Mastery 5
Left Mastery 0 (Not worth getting, IMO)
EDP 5
GT 5

Build explanation:

Vit is kept to lowest i can tolerate to avoid 1 Shot Acid Bomb
Luk is raised to 2 for perfect dodge bonus, making the final stat point 0
Dex is kept to mid, waiting for Noghaltz' Sonic Acceleration quest skill

Left Hand Mastery is kept to 0 and replaced by GT. Damage difference between level 5 LH Mastery and level 0 LH Mastery is 400+ with EDP, meaning 100 w/o EDP.

Another Reason:

Maximum no. of hit against Orc Lord with Level 5 LH Mastery is 61 Hits
Maximum no. of hit against Orc Lord with Level 0 LH Mastery is 64 Hits

A 3-Hit difference. O.o

Damage Analysis:
Damage is high, but Pure builds will definately have higher. Good thing about this build is all offensive skills do quite fair damage, All have good DPM. Meaning with proper handling, you can outdone a pure sinX build on combat.

I did a damage test on PvP with EDP-SB using +4 Infiltrator. At lvl 78 SB reaches 1.6k per hit, 4000-5000 SD using Infiltrator. Haven't tried going DD though. That's STILL without the proposed accesories and weapons.

Potential Damage can still be higher. I didn't include stat increasing headgears. Because this is a hybrid build. You can't stick to one headgear.

Blessing is the only damage increasing support skill included. Meaning you can still have higher damage with other support skills such as Impositio Manus from Priests/HPs , Endow Elements from Sages/Scholars, Provoke from the Knight class and other support skills.

Additional damage can be attained from Sonic Acceleration.


P.S.
Again, this are all still theoretical

Legal Crap

Levelup Games is Dying

Another sign of a dying gaming company is the presence of the Google Ads in the Levelup! Games official website. . Though the company is still currently the major pay-per-play company in the Philippines, the constant decrease of population of its flagship game, Ragnarok Online is obviously contributing in Levelup! Games’ decrease in revenue. Google Ads, are targeted advertisements from Google’s program called Adsense. Advertisers pay the Publishers (Which in this case the Levelup! Games website) to display these advertisements and in turn get paid for it. Though it is not an issue that the company implemented this, it’s starting to contradict their rules and regulations regarding their games. Commonly, these targeted Ads displays “Selling online games currencies” Which does not only includes Ragnarok Online’s zenny, but other MMORPG currencies as well. It is clearly stated on their Policies that these kind of trades are illegal. The policy clearly stated that:

What is Illegal Trading?

Illegal Trading is to exchange Ragnarok Online items, zenies, or accounts with real money or goods; or to swap Ragnarok Online items, zenies, or characters from one account in a server for items, zenies, or characters in another account and server.

Current List of Illegal Trades:
· RO item for real money is illegal
· RO item in one server for RO item in another server is illegal
· RO account for real money is illegal
· RO characters in one server for RO characters in another server is
illegal
· RO Load for RO item / zeny is illegal
· ISP Card for RO item / zeny is illegal
· Cel Card for RO item / zeny is illegal
· Zeny for real money is illegal
· Zeny in one server for item / zeny in another server is illegal

Bots, which the company is allegedly trying to eradicate are being promoted on the Ads as well.

It is an act of desperation? Judge by yourself.

Testing your Internet Speed

Why Test? Testing how fast your internet connection speed lets you know that you're getting the most out of your Internet Service Provider. If you happen to experience slow pageloads, downloads and uploads, you can use the data you gathered from internet speed tests when you report you problem to your ISP. There are a lot of bandwidth tests available on the internet. But one of my favorite is the one by auditmypc.com

http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp

It gives you a nice graph where your connection speed falls. The graph shows both download and upload speed. I got a rating of 445kbps out of my max 512kbps connection. Not bad at all. Try it out. Most cust care reps get intimidated when the caller knows their exact internet connection speed rating. lol

Globelines Wiz and Worldpass – going WI-FI

Let’s define first what these services are

So what is Worldpass? It allows you to use your existing Globelines Internet service, whether it’s dialup or broadband. Or WIFI

And what it Wiz? Wiz stands for Wireless Internet Zone. It lets you connect to the Internet via WIFI enabled laptop, PDA, or cellphone.

The good thing about this service is you can use your existing internet service and connect to the internet wherever you are. Sounds cool eh? But you need to have the proper equipment. But if you already have it, let’s move to configuration

For manual Wi-Fi configuration:
1. Set the SSID/Network Name of the Wireless LAN enabled device to “GlobeQUEST”. For MAC users, enter the DNS server configuration as (Primary DNS: 203.177.255.10 ; Secondary DNS: 203.127.225.10)
2. Launch the Internet Browser and enter a website you wish to go to
(i.e., www.globelines.com.ph or any other website).
3. A login page will appear to prompt for your User ID and Password. Type in your user ID, followed by “@globelines.com.ph” for Luzon or “@visayas.globelines.com.ph” for Visayas. Example: subscriber@globelines.com.ph) Type in your password.
4. Upon successful authentication, the webpage of your requested URL will appear and you will be connected to Internet. If not, type in the website again.
5. To end your internet session, press “Logout” or type in “http://logout.globquest.com.ph” in the browser window you are using.

For automatic Wi-Fi modems:

General Instructions for WINDOWS XP:
1. Double-click on the Wireless Network Connection icon on the task bar.
2. Click Properties
3. Click the Wireless Network tab.
4. Under Available Networks, select GlobeQUEST and click Configure
5. In the Network Name (SSID) box, enter globequest (all lowercase) and click OK.
6. Click OK again and Close.

Oh btw, going WIFI doesn’t necessarily means that you can go surfing the web from like, mars or something. You need to be in a Hotspot zone in order to use them. As of now, hotspots are located only at

Ayala Center Cebu
Ayala Greenbelt 2
Ayala Greenbelt 3
Coffee Beanery, Greenbelt 3
