Before the Blog

The twenties passed by in a day. I started at twenty-two and a party formed. It was full of people. Once again, I was the only yo yo acrobat, not only that, I was the lowest level. Though, they didn’t mind.

Looking back now, it seemed like something people should’ve done. It was a level distribution party. We also didn’t fight like a full party does. Instead of staying where we leveled and fighting sperately, we all went to higher levels and took down one high level monster has a group. Though, it’s hard to be a supporter when the knockback, so most of the time I did nothing.

It was a fine display of teamwork. It reminds me how greedy you become as a high level. It’s disturbing. As a low level, you don’t think about how high you are or how much you need that last five percent before leveling. Instead, we see that level rise and get caught up with how much we want to see it rise, that we push another away.

You can’t deny it, it happens in all games. If you disagree, tell me, when did you help a stranger when nothing was was being gained? Face it, when you become higher, you don’t think about how fun the game is.

At thirty-one, I started to mess around with friends. Leveling became almost unbearable, so I took a break for a week or two. During that week, I made a lot of friends and made a lot discoveries. The flying teleportation glitch went on that whole month. Since I was curious about new lands, I explored Darkon 3 on foot.

At the end of the month, I found myself back to leveling. A few levels, the bow jester video came out. I saw the video but thought nothing of it. It never crossed my mind that this would start something.

I was level forty-two at the peak of the bow Jester craze. I knew a little of bow jesters, yet I knew enough. I was hanging out with some friends, when we partyed with this acrobat. I’ll never forget it.

Bow Acro>> Why do you have yo yos?
Lamvao>> I’m becomming a jester.
Bow Acro>> You’re kidding, right?

That’s when I thought about my decision as an acrobat. Friends I had made that were far below me were now reaching their second job change. Leveling became almost impossible. I somehow made it to forty-five. Never had I felt so good to change clothing.

By now, I met Killala. We talked a lot. We even tryed to level together a bit, since I could stun for her, it was a big help. Even still, she rocketed passed me. I learned of the display damage toggle by then, so I realized how weak I actually was.

Basically, if you’ve been reading the passed few blogs, you know what happened from forty-eight to sixty. I started the jester job change ten minutes before the version six update. A day after, I became a jester.

I spent the next few weeks getting to wear that suit. When I eventually did, I found that there was lack of a quest. I then quit for about two months. When I eventually came back, I felt ashamed. I felt like I let Killala down. After I got into Atmosphere, I got back to leveling.

And here I am.
