As the title says, I published 5 hubs at hubpages.com. Each hub is a review of a game I've played (or am currently playing). :)

What are you waiting for? Go over there and see it now! ;)

Made Jonin in Billy vs Snakeman today! :D

Well, it took me long enough, but now I'm a Jonin in the MMO Billy vs Snakeman. If this announcement means nothing to you, then it means you've never played it. :P

In a nutshell, it means that I've reached the second to possible highest rank for players in my same season. That isn't particularly hard, but it's still noteworthy. :P

Just a little post to keep this blog updated. I did promise to keep it updated after all. :)

Take care guys!

My Estiah Dungeon - Notes after a few days

Well, my dungeon (Temple of Tides) was released around a week ago in Estiah, and the players enjoy it a lot. It's the first level 41 dungeon ever made for the game, so it fills what I thought was a crucial gap in end-game content. :)

The second fight of the dungeon is way too easy, but the first and third fights are pretty interesting. It's pretty cool to see players devise devious strategies to beat those fights. :)

Until the next time, take care guys!
Have fun!

Estiah patch released today! :)

Hi guys!

Every so often, Estiah is patched, adding new features and fixing bugs in the system. This particular patch is noteworthy for two reasons:

1. There's a Christmas event now, where you can beat up a Santa Golem. I'll be trying it out tomorrow. :)

2. My very own dungeon has made it into the game. The devs of Estiah review player submissions at times and if they like them, they will add them into the game (after a healthy dose of beta testing by some of the veteran players of course.)

This is one of the few MMO's where you can feel like your opinion really matters.
That's all for now. :)

Estiah

Hello to all! :)

Estiah is another MMO I've been playing for quite a while now. I wrote several articles on it that are located at articleincome.com (that I can't seem to access at the moment, so I owe you for that). Basically, imagine having a deck of playing cards. Each card represents a piece of armor, a weapon, a potion, or a spell (or something else all together). It has classic RPG elements like Hit Points and Stats, but mixes them in with trading card game elements like the aforementioned deck (your maximum deck size is equal to your Spirit, which is a Stat).

If you're not into TCGs, then perhaps you won't like it. But, being an avid trading card game fan for over 5 years now, I have to say that it is extremely enjoyable. :)

If you want to join, I'll provide a link below. ;)

Play Estiah now! :)

Yes, that's a referral link. :P
The only thing I get is 3 points into a skill gained specifically through referring people to play the game. There has never been, and will never be a way for players to gain an advantage by paying or spamming referrals (the reward for leveling up the Mentoring skill is enough to make you feel satisfied to have done it, yet not enough to make you all powerful against players who don't refer others).

So whatcha waiting for? :P

Billy vs SNAKEMAN

Hi guys!

Well, considering I'm back, I should write a post related to a new MMO I've started playing recently.

Billy vs SNAKEMAN is an MMO game that's loosely based off of the Naruto anime and manga series. It parodies anime in general and has reference to many other TV series and videogames as well.

You can go on Missions, and some of them are parodies of common situations that you may or may not have seen on TV before. One that comes to mind is having to clean up a Ninja's house after he has thrown a party. Another one involves forcing down rations which supposedly taste terrible.

It's a pretty lighthearted game that has many minigames that open up as you level up and advance.

In my opinion, you should try it out for yourself though. Hearing me talk isn't a fair indicator of the game's quality. ;)

New Article over at articleincome.com!

Hi guys!

This time I wrote about KadoKado, a peculiar and unique casual MMO created by Motion Twin. Read the full article at: http://www.featuredarticles.com/a13399_1.html

Thanks in advance for reading! :)

Estiah - Aleas or Eversweep?

The first article to this series can be found at articleincome.com.

The other articles can be found right here in this blog and also on articleincome.com! :)

So, you've beaten up the pirates eh? Got yourself a few Captain's Hats as well I suppose. It's time for you to move to another city. Aleas or Eversweep are the most logical choices given the dungeons they contain. Each dungeon is another part of the in-game tutorial. In Aleas you will be visiting Holy Grace Square to learn how to Protect your allies in battle by the usage of charms with Protect. In Eversweep, a cocky and arrogant summoner will teach you how to Focus your attacks on a single target.

---

Let's start with Aleas, just because I'm more partial to defensive strategies. ;)

The Level 4 Holy Grace Square consists of three levels. In the first level you will have three Sword Apprentice allies and will be facing four Sword Apprentices. Seeing as how each Sword Apprentice only has 25 HP, you should be okay as long as you hit them hard (preferably with magic as they use armor charms on occasion). Just hope your allies don't die too quickly and you'll easily win this battle.

The man training these apprentices is called Urus the Grace and he will step in to demonstrate Protect. In this second battle, it's highly unlikely that you'll lose considering that Urus will be using Challenging Blade and Flash of Light to protect you. At 130 HP, I'm almost certain that your three Sword Apprentice opponents won't be able to take him down. ;)

The final battle has Urus taking the other side, as you and two Sword Apprentices attempt to take him down. He adds several charms to his arsenal including Challenging Shout, which increases his next melee attack's damage by 18, which can be fatal if you don't have armor up. On that subject, bring a fair amount of armor along, since his magic attacks aren't nearly as deadly. Oh, and he still has 130 HP. :P

You may lose that last fight if you're level 4. But, if you've been following my articles in order, you should be level 5 and better equipped to take him down. It's not an easy fight, but it's doable.

He gives you a Protect Charm (7 armor, 7 ward, Protect: 4) if you win.

---

On to Eversweep.


The High Summoner's Study is a level 4 Dungeon in Eversweep where you will learn about Focus charms. They allow you to concentrate your attacks for the next few turns on a single enemy, which can be life-saving if you're facing multiple enemies at the same time.

The High Summoner in question is Leitz, and he has quite the attitude problem.
In the first battle, he will have you fight alongside three of his Weakened Shadow Imps facing off against four more Weakened Shadow Imps (all of the Imps have 35 HP).

All any of the Imps do is shoot a fireball that does 6 magic damage, so bring some Ward charms along and just hack and slash your way to victory...assuming of course, you don't get singled out and killed by the opposing Imps. Luck, as it were, always plays a part in this game.

After you win this first battle, Leitz will chastise you for "acting like a beast and giving out blows randomly" and join your side, along with one of his Imps, to teach you how to Focus. Once again you face off against 4 Imps, but Leitz' Focus charms will make this battle substantially easier than the last one. He himself stands at a hefty 140 HP, so it's unlikely that'll he die. I've never seen him go down in battle myself.

For the last battle, Leitz will claim that he "needs to practice for the Inachis Battle Tournament". Guess what? You're gonna help him. :P

You're allied with 2 Imps and are facing off against Leitz. He only has 115 HP this time around, but gains Mind Focus, which increases the power of his next magic attack by 20. Did I mention he can still target a specific foe? If he doesn't Focus one of the imps, you may be done for, since his subsequent attack will do massive damage (and that's assuming he doesn't power up multiple turns before attacking either.) Even so, this fight is probably easier than the boss fight in Aleas since you'll most likely win if you don't get focused.

He gives you the Bright Fire Charm (6 magic, Focus: 6) if you win.

If at any time you need additional help in any dungeon (oh oh, here it comes again :P), you should consult the Estiah Wiki (I always mention it don't I? :P).

Anyways, that's it for now. Thank you for reading, as always. Have fun!
