[SirAaronIII]

A. B is for buying, S is for selling, T/TF is for trading, R is for recruiting.
Battle Sword is the name of an item. Usually there will be item names here, like Thames (armor), Dustin (more armor), Hebona (clothing), etc
NM stands for note me, I think. NMO is note me offers.
-color probably means to include the color of the battle sword.
B. You may wish to start them G1 quests now.
C. What is it called?

[Aklyon]

Speaking of those buying selling things, I wonder why Mabi has a different system from other games I've seen with a trading channel of official or nonofficialness. Usually I see stuff like WTB Epic Sowrd 300000pp, to use DDO as an example.

The again, in most games like that there isn't a market for specifically colored clothes either.

[Seriyu]

Alright, I've applied to the guild, so now I just need someone to accept that blasted application and I should be able to join in on your endeavours. A couple of newbie questions, though:

A: How on earth is the regular party advertisement syntax set up. A party recruitment window displaying "B>Battle/Sword nm -color" does not contain any useful info. Please help me decode this strange and arcane language.
B: What on earth am I supposed to do on my own. So far I've done some trading, but it's tedious and basically boils down to "Walk to that city on foot while being forced to walk around certain random spots in the terrain". I did try to do some solo runs, which was rather difficult and fun, but one dungeon started to kick my ass with red skeletons and the other with the end boss. What else can I do only by the company of myself?
C: Why the flying fuck does this piece of armor lack pants?

A: Like SirAaron said, that particular guy was trying to sell something. They use the party channel for this, although you do occasionally see people advertising dungeon runs. They'll be much easier to decode. Just wanted to get that out there too.
B: G1 is good to get started earlier, again, as SirAaron said, as it gives you AP, thanks to the recent revamp. It's the quest line in the "goddess" tab. Aside from that you might look into crafting or try to get into a public dungeon party. The community around mabi is usually pretty nice, so it shouldn't be too painful. With that said I am logging on right now to get you into the guild, so you shouldn't have issues finding people to do stuff with.
C: Yeah, some armor lacks pants. I'm also gonna take this moment to say, armor in this game is mostly cosmetic. I don't mean to say heavy armor has the same armor points as clothing, but there are three classes, clothing (1 defense), light armor (4 defense and 1 protection), and heavy armor (6 defense and 2 protection). So if you see some armor you like the look of, just use it! Chances are it'll have similar stats to another armor of its level. There's some mid game armor you can get through hardmode dungeon runs and such but that's a ways off, and even then they mostly provide set bonuses. Also of note is if you craft a weapon/armor / someone else crafts it, it will probably get bonuses, mostly to durability, but sometimes to def and prot, so if the stats seem a bit off, that's probably why.

(Defense lowers damage by 1 point, protection lowers damage by 1 percent, and reduces critical chance by one percent. Just sayin it now. )

G1 is pretty good, its easier to do as a human than a giant, cause they have the horse.

Wireless internet can be not-exactly-reliable over long-range that sounds like. Works perfectly fine from here to the room downstairs, but thats not a large distance, nor is the wind a factor. Any sort of cable at all would help against wind.

But for however many reasons, that is not it, and things like your landlord is the same kind of problem I'd been talking about, though for a different reason then cat arse. Also, the PS3 guy could be downloading patches or something on occasion instead of multiplayer, that tends to use much more than just mp.

The way the network is situated is there is a wireless modem that receives the signal from one of Clearwire's towers. It in and of itself is hardwired to a wireless router that in turn broadcasts the signal to a signal extender. These are all kept less than fifty feet away on a table in my apartment's common area. I get the best signal out of the residents that use it, since everyone else requires that signal extender to rebroadcast the internet signal to the rest of the complex - two apartments below me and a small dormitory-like house just next door.

The problem is that Clearwire is a common choice for internet service provider in the area I am living in, which in turn is windy and often has dense air. On a good day and sometimes an average day the modem itself provides speeds similar to a 768Kbps DSL connection at least and at around a 3Mbps broadband connection at most during the optimal hours of midnight to six'o'clock in the morning on non-windy or dense air days.

On a bad day which is usually most days when the college students return and start buying into Clearwire's services as well as when the wind starts picking up and the air is dense I at best get speeds equal to fifty percent of my average until around the usual optimal time, when I get the average speeds I have on a good day. It will remain like this until sometime in May the next year, when the university and the community college let out. I then have decent signal once again until sometime around August 20th of that year.

Regardless of the circumstances I doubt Mabinogi would be playable right now without me having to figure out some way of exorcising the chicanery that plagues the wireless signal I use. The PS3 will probably be a problem regardless of what I do, as will the person who spends all day playing poker.

The person who spent her days "watching" 2girls1cup and a variety of shiza videos was evicted recently for both false rape accusations and wanton destruction of property and currently resides in a sleazy motel. I don't think she'll be causing any more problems, which is probably part of why Youtube works again. Either way I probably will have to find the time to see if Mabinogi is playable on this connection under these current circumstances, when I can be arsed to play it again. Right now it feels kind of stale because of a shitty community and a supposed friend of mine that refuses to call me on the phone and only speaking to me through notes in Mabinogi because he's a potato in disguise.

Anyways, carry on and enjoy your event.

[Skyrunner]

...May I ask what a potato in disguise is? >.>

[SirAaronIII]

Presumably, a potato that is disguised as a person.

This event is actually not as much good as it sounded before. Plus, Nexon's servers have derped up.


Again.

It's not that much of a surprise anymore.
e: Looks like it was just for jousting? That was really really tense, though. It was like.. "okay I put W let's see what they put.... oh my god what if they put A ohmy god oh god ohgod"

[Seriyu]

Yeah startin to look like they're gettin DDOSed again or something. It'll let up after a while.

[Skyrunner]

Good thing I chose a time before the servers went bonkers to rebirth xD

[SirAaronIII]

The Littlest Ibid snagged a Glowing Stone Imp Statue for 7.5k. So, do you think we could do one of those with the largest army we can muster? It's not spiders, but..

[Seriyu]

Looks like it's mostly the same thing, just replace spiders with imps. Still need an archer to deal with the gold mask ghosts.

[Skyrunner]

o_O

That was really cheap. 7.5k for a glowing statue?

[SirAaronIII]

Our theories:
- someone forgot a 0 or two
- someone got it out of one of the event chests and didn't know what it was

[dei]

...May I ask what a potato in disguise is? >.>

...Can you count to potato? Chances are if you can you are a potato. My friend is more than likely a potato because of how he, like myself, is developmentally disabled.

I would rather much use the word potato than that other word that the Down Syndrome girl from Glee likens to the whole slew of racial slurs used against other minorities. At least people like potatoes, whether they are mashed, baked, fried, scalloped, or whatever. Potato is more pleasing for me to use than retard, which is a word I loathe and abhor.

Sure, calling people like myself potatoes is kind of obscure, but I'd rather be called a potato than a retard or a tard. Anyways, I'm sorry for going off-topic and such.

[Seriyu]

A bump because this fell behind. We're still doin shadow missions pretty often. Maybe a update later today, we'll see.
