Cabal Online

I've been working hard on our new events system. The list I have left for Monday's build is coming along nicely. I played a bit of WoW and Cabal this week and a bit of Battlefield Heros beta!

Make sure and check out my guild's new Cabal podcast: http://nacabalcast.com/

I play games like every other gamer except I can be very competitive and I am one of the people that can actually say "It's just a game" because I don't get angry at dumb things.

If I lose a duel, I don't say "WOW YOU'RE A NOOB!" I say "Good fight" Then ask them a few questions so I can improve my character.

I have been the Guild Master of many good guilds. I also am the Leader of a guild for Halo 3.

I play games to have fun, not to get mad at people I don't even know.

I'm not talking about the game of "Perfect World" but what I mean is about the community in a game we play. Even on real life, someone out there is wishing for a Utopia but in such a world like ours, there is no such thing. Utopia is a fool's dream, right? Still, I try to live in hope that one day there will be a Utopia that I can live in, even if it's just an online game.

I'll live through the day working, feeding myself or if I ever have a family of my own and then live a fantasy world that I know. Heh, I don't think this is such an ideal life. One has to grow up but I can still play my game, right?

Last night, I was frustrated when someone in the game called me arrogant when I was only asking where to get a class 1 shaped cartilage for my crafting. Once again, these kind of people reminded me why I left RF Online in the first place. I'll give the game one more try but never again will I ever talk to that person: Ferro.

I tried, I liked, i got addicted.

So I skill a lot on Cabal right... Skilling is a selfless, thankless hobby. I skill other people's characters even (there's a waiting list, don't get any ideas o.O). It's a lot of time-consuming work. Time I should be doing on housework, schoolwork and lots of other work-related activities.

Well anyways... In game its pretty bad. People disrespect skillers like we're some kind of freak who doesn't deserve to do anything in the game. I get KSed a lot, which ultimately ends up in me losing a lot of honor. And when I fight someone and completely waste them they always ask level and skillrank right? So I tell them and I always get something like "oh you're a skiller psh.' Like WTF does that mean?

Two important elements in this game are skill rank and character level. They each contribute and enormous amount to the power of any particular character, only followed loosely by gear. So why is a character leveling so much high and mightier than a character skilling? No one seems to understand it. Just because you have a quest to kill these mobs does NOT mean you can take them from me. Guess what? There is a quest to kill every single mob in the game. Seriously think about it. Any mob I choose to skill on will be for a quest. Your quest status is not any more important than my skill rank status.

So usually a confrontation ends in someone's guild getting involved. I never have any intention on making it a guild matter, but it always ends up that way. I keep most of my characters out of guilds for this simple reason. Some douchebag high and mighty is going to come KS me, get killed and call his guild. So what am I supposed to do? Let these stupid elitists grief me? Hell no. I get on my main which HAPPENS to be in a guild. Then thats where the whole guild crap gets out of hand.

This is just a tiny part of an average day for me in the game of Cabal Online.
