Ragna Rocks Diary

Its allready ten days since i arrived to calypso, I was lost in space traveling from MMORPG to MMORPG, then I saw this planet, full of ppl, full of oportunitys, i thought ill just pass by or have a sneak peek in the lives of the citisens, but i didnt knew that Ive come to stay here…

It was a hard time in the first days, my CC module was damaged, no money no weapons, no armor, no nothing, just the ability to run and to talk…

Some citisens have told me about a wierd habbit on this planet, collecting the sweat from frightend animals, its like magic full focus in your mind and you are able without to come in danger to collect some Vibrant sweat from a creature. I was unskilled in this ceremony, so i needed some 15 minute to make my first sweat loot, nice feeling… It was smelling like hell, but at least i could sell it for a small amount. So i started to sweat…

A few days after that i met a hunter, trader / miner and started to chat with him, i heard before about a mentorship sistem here on Calypso, so i asked him to become my mentor. He agreed, and the first thing he has done was to give me a task after an introduction in the world of calypso. The task was to achieve the TP on Port Phoenix allone, and the reward would be an axe.

I tried it for a few times allone, but the area was crowd with mobs, just to many for me, I needed some help. I asked a miner named Sting to bring me there, he tried it, but @ half of the way we were killed by aprox 20 mobs which spawned in the area. I tried it then with another guy, a hunter called Phantom, we came across the mobs with no problems, his Jester was fully loaded, and since we worked as a team, i gained also some loot during this run. I was so proud as i arrived to Phoenix. My mentor gave me the reward and a new task. He has teached me to trade and told me to buy or collect some dung @ fixed prices. I made it even better than expected, i found him some sellers for lower prices he asked for. He was maximum fair to me, he has given me the difference in PED as my loan.
I sweated a little more, collected some more money, bought the Poo low, sold it for maximum price so I made some bucks for myself. I felt great, and i gained a reward for this, uncolored basic pattern clothes.

Two pairs, one from my mentor, and one from one of my friends and soc. mates, and one of my bussines partner, as a partnership present. Thank you all.

I tried to hunt on my own, but Lootius the good of the native Civilisation, didnt like me to much, (I think he knows that i am not one of his followers)
So I made more loose than gain…

I needed to start over again, with 7 PED in the pocket, some sweat, some dung and some fruits…

I came up to 20 again, and put much of them for an auction,… Damn i need some nice armor, the mob is to hard to take it with nothing beside clothes…

Then i went on team Hunt with one of my soc. mates,… The mobs where to hard for me, to hits and i was killed, but he was a real friend for me during this ocasion, he wouldnt leave the team, and take all the loot for himself, he shared it with me like a brother. Thank you my friend…

After a meeting with my Soc. the FoxCubs i decided to try the new weapon ive taken to sell for a soc. mate. EWE EP 32 Enforcer, nice handy gun, not to heavy, verry good damage capacity… It was a hughe difference in compare with my beloved Axe. Ive fallen in love with the gun as i killed my first comundo with it. The decision was made I will buy it for myself, whatever comes, so I bought some ammo and went to hunt solo. The hunt was succsesfull, nice loot, not to much but i made profit - Still waiting for the big hit, for the HoF or Global - May Lootius Bless me.

I felt asslep exhausted from the hunt, and decided to collect my strength for Tommorow, when i meat my friends to a Massive Hunt Party…

PPL… C Ya there…

(I overjumped a few things, but I hope noone will be mad @ me) :smiley:

Damit,… back at the bottom,…

One glimse in my eye was enough to make me lucide and try it with the last strength, MAKE SOME LOOT was written on my soul…

I sold it, my almost full goblin, my gun, my axes, my clothes, my FAP, my everything, i sold it…

walking to the terminal was like a march of the red army, full concentrated on my goal, I want to find a loot mining…

The equipment for enmatter mining was so shiny and new, it was in no compare with my leftovers… the dirty white briefs, and the few shiny ped left in my ped card.

60 probes were a little bit heavy to wear, but i didnt need to walk far, it was just in the near of Port Atlantis were I presumed a deposit, I felt it, I actually heard it calling:" Ragna come and get, I am waiting for you…" I thought I am going crazy, but i still followed the sweat voice, calling my name.

Droping one or two probes ocasionally, just to see if something is there,… and there was something, not much, verry poor deposits, but of a dunkel particle Ive never seen before, some small deposits of force nexus, and some poor of melchy…

I followed the voice further, as nerer I was the stronger the voice was, and I found more, some average Aliences, some modest Melchy,… And the voice was even stronger:" Ragna come, i cant wait forever, someone will take me, someone will steal me, just hurry,…" And I ran, ran like a wild Daikiba, past the Berrys, beside of the Exos, they didnt even noticed me…

As i looked in my inventory I thought it is over, I have only two probes left and I still havent found my beloved one…

Standing there in water with a tear in my eye, I dropped one of the two last probes i had to the ground, and waited to see what would happen, allready giving up my hope, sending a goodbay to the sweat voice of my promised one.

Just as the tear has fallen to the ground, the voice started to laugh and said:" Finaly ragna, finaly you have found me!"
My enmatter detector was vibrating, and there was it written “You have found a substantiel deposit of unknown…”

I drilled the place, every time i started the driller it was like a kiss to the lovely voice, and I kissed it for a long time, it was like an eternety for me…

At one moment the voice said to me" I am so glad you have found me, now I am finally all yours" and the depot was depleted…

74 PED of melchy water, that was the lucid mans dream…

Then ocured a light around me and the whole world knew that Ragna Rock has found a 74 PED worth depot of Melchy standing there in white brief underware in the east part of the Swamp :=)

Its been a while since I had the time to sit down and take some paper and ink to actually write down my records of this quest.
It happend much since than, I dont remember everything but I know that I had a lucky strike, and its over now.

I was out hunting on a place I never been before, just to try the area, the sound of the name of this place sounds creepy, the place is even worse…

Large blue wingless butterfly like creatures are there, some mutants, also I can hear the distant voice of my worst nightmare… I hear Atrox…

I have gathered some money trough trading and hunting so I could buy some “goblin” armor, and I borrowed a gun from one of my friends, the 10 spare peds in my pocket, are ment to be spent for ammo, so I did it, I started running west, just in the direction of a red spot on my radar, as I came near enough I started shooting and moving backwards, I didnt even knew what I am shooting at. Shooting and running back, taking a small amount of HP from the mob, finally it came out jumping from behind the trees, large blue and old Snarg, at half of its HP, I continued to shoot, it hits me once for 50 dmg, i go on with shooting, and as it was almost dead, it hit me another time, and I was dead…

Revived again with a blush on my face, and adrenaline in my veins, I run back seeking for revenge. I found it… it was still tired, my fap was broken so i could only heal 30% of my energy, but i started to shoot, and just before it reached me, it fell down dead…

I came near to observe what Ive killed, I looked a little bit better, and there were 187 PEDs and a plain chair :stuck_out_tongue:

my first and only thoughts were “nice… more money for ammo :D”

Slide back to IRL:

welcome to the twilight zone…

never actually introduce myself on this blog, so I thought why not:

My name is Elvis

I am a 24 years old gamer from Bosnia and Hercegovina.
Working as a sales manager IRL, but still dont have a CC ( :smiley: ) so I am unable to deposit IG.
Sales manager sounds freeking nice, but its not well payed in Bosnia, I earn aprox 250 € per month, because I dont have a PC home anymore since I lost my home, I am playing PE from an internet club which costs me aprox 1.5 € per hour (I am playing for at least 6 hours a day )so theres not much left for deposits.
In my free time, I use to write lyrics, actively doing in HipHop since 1997, had a few stage performances, and a loot of freestyle battles.
Not married yet, but engaged to a wonderfull anti cyber chick, which is actually the most important person IML. we are living 67 km from each other, so I can only meet her during the weekend.
dont laugh ppl… I am still living with my parents :smiley:
we lost our home twice, once 1992 during the war, the second time during a landslide in 2000. so I am financial unable to go solo IL, and morally unable to leave my parents without helping them.
I am studying menagment, 2nd semester. Was studying medicine for 2 years, but since the stuff happend with my home, I was out of money to continue, so I found a job, and started to learn for the job.

I have a great bunch of friends, we are like brothers and sisters having parties most of the time we are together, and helping each other were we can.

I have also a nice bunch of friends IG, and I am verry happy to see that my FL is full and I am in contact with at least 90 % of the ppl
now I am a collonel in Crimson Angels, next to mudkicker, crazy girl, phobia, terra, grey, Viagrafalls and others (sorry for the notmentioned). The soc is great, most of them are passionate hunters like I am, and I am glad to be in a soc with such ppl.

I would like to thank my mentor for beeing a great mentor and a great friend too, I am almost finished with my discipleship so I wish him at least a DOA ME, or even something better :smiley: without the first axe he gave me, and the 20 PED he borrowed me I would be stuck in PE, without any PED.

Also Id like to thank Darkangel Sunlee for beeing a great friend in this game too, as I thought about quiting PE because I was out of money he borrowed me 100 PED without even knowing me, and short after that I started to global, and had also my maffoid uberhof.

Id like to thank ZuuHou Sting for being a great buddy and for his mining lessons, he helped me to collect many TPs, brought me into Fc, and borrowed me my first HG for hunt purposes.

Id like to thank and to apologise to Hoob and Willis, they know why I apologise, and I thank them for being such friends to me.

I started to be a little bit sentimental

I love this game, because of the comunity, if it were because of the money I would have withdrawn the 400 $ I had on my PED card, but I spent it hunting and having fun. I just love it to team hunt with ppl, and having fun :smiley:

the most impresive 2 guys in the game for me are Tigerman and Faustian, thats what I call uber, and thats what I want to become.
I wish so badly this shadow armor :slight_smile: need to hunt more ambuli :smiley:

Ok I wish u all a nice day. HoF soon

Finally back again to this topic.

After 3 months of beeing idle I need to put some of my thoughts and feelings on this sheet of virtual paper.

I was for a while busted in Kuwait, a few of my Ig friends know the whole storry, and I wouldnt like to explain it again, but the fact is that it was able to turn my life upside down in only a few weeks.

I was happy to be back, but the thing Ive found was an empty inventory on my avatar. Not the best thing I could have expected. Before I left I had some debts, which I finally managed to clear a few days ago, almost all.

I still have left to pay some 252 PED to a fellow entropian, and than I am clean.

I am just happy noone had called me scammer because, I had a lot of debts as I needed to go.

I am working now again, and cant await to get my sallary to repay what I owe, its a burden you carry every day when you are online, and need to tell the person “sorry I cant repay the debts right now…”

oki lets finish with this topic…

I made some new friends since I am back, and a few bussines partners in PE.
Its always nice to have someone to chat with and someone to share your feelings with.

The other thing that I had a nice meeting in PvP 3 the other day, I was gone with 20 bombs to try mining there since my antitoxic shot has never exceeded and I found a great cluster of lyst there, ample, sizable, large. Actually made aprox 120 PED out of 20. until Ive seen the green dot on the radar. I tryed to run away but had overweight, this guy tried to hit me with his tango didnt hit me. I asked him not to kill me, and he only said “you are dead dude!” and killed me with an ancient improved A3.

I didnt even have a man mph in my inv to defend myself. I had only my mining gear and bombs.

the next thing was a global msg: “Hyperion C4 killed Ragna and found loot with a value of 114 PED”

Never ever PvP 3.

Actually I am happy to be back, missed the game a lot and the fellow entropians. We share the same burden, and we are all together in this. Critical times will come and critical times will go, but PE stays the best Virtual universe in the world.

A little bit more of my real life on this forum, this time in pictures.

[CENTER]This is my bed, I needed to modify it a bit, but this way I can spend even more time in PE:[/CENTER]

[CENTER]http://img15.imgspot.com/u/05/326/05/computernut1132741108.jpg [/CENTER]
I am still working on this one, but I placed it on paper allready

[CENTER]http://img15.imgspot.com/u/05/323/13/addicted1132511378.jpg [/CENTER]

But my addiction isnt my own problem it went over even on my aunt, and her cloister sisters:

[CENTER]http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/8695/nunin7ix.jpg [/CENTER]

I tried to get rid of it, had to compensate it with food. preferably chinese.
this was my favourite restaurant.

[CENTER]http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/9417/restaurant0gq.jpg [/CENTER]

But I just became fat, and also couldnt cure my addiction.

[CENTER]https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/gallery/files/2/9/2/calendar_thumb.jpg [/CENTER]

And PE had cost me this much money till now, that even IRL like in PE I own only panties, nothing else.

[CENTER]http://img15.imgspot.com/u/05/272/18/51128120055.gif [/CENTER]

So ppl be afraid, be verry afraid when you start to become addicted to PE.

[B]I was siting in a bar yesterday, drinking my coffe after a hard day of working, and was prepared to go to the internet caffe to check out how the mining is for the day. I was sad because when everyone was going to the new CND I couldnt because my PED card was almost depleted and the last 30 PED on it are for just another bombing run.

I have a moto:" All or nothing…" and nothing inbetween, maybe this is why I lost so much of my money on PE. My goal is to get one of those ATHs, no globals, no HoFs… I want the freeking Nr. 1 ATH in mining, and one day I know Ill get it.

So I was kind of depressed because I couldnt go up there. When suddenly, unexpected a known melodie came from the stereo, and my fantasy started to play trix on me. I was back in time, had summer in my heart, the smell of salt and road dust in my nose, I remembered the cherrys I have been eating than, and the Balantines I was drinking. I was seeing my girlfriend next to me, felt her heat, and the wish to see her just for one moment.

I never even know that one song can make my day.

It was “Laura no cé” from Nek

Laura non c’e’, e’ andata via
Laura non e’ piu’ cosa mia
e te che sei qua e mi chiedi perche’
l’amo se niente piu’ mi da’
mi manca da spezzare il fiato
fa male e non lo sa
che non mi e’ mai passata

Laura non c’e’, capisco che
e’ stupido cercarla in te
Io sto da schifo credi e non lo vorrei
stare con te pensando a lei
stasera voglio stare acceso
andiamocene di la’
a forza di pensare ho fuso.

Chorus:
Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso, se vuoi
pero’ non e’ lo stesso tra di noi
da solo non mi basto stai con me
solo e’ strano che al suo posto ci sei te, ci sei te.

Laura dov’e’, mi manca sai
magari c’e’ un altro accanto a lei
giuro non ci ho pensato mai
che succedesse proprio a noi
lei si muove dentro un altro abbraccio
su di un corpo che non e’ piu’ il mio
e io cosi’ non ce la faccio.

Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso, se vuoi
pero’ non e’ lo stesso tra di noi
da solo non mi basto stai con me
solo e’ strano che al suo posto ci sei te, ci sei te.

Forse e’ difficile cosi’ ma non so che cosa fare
Credo che sia logico, per quanto io provi a scappare lei c’e’.

Non vorrei che tu fossi un emergenza
ma tra bene e amore c’e’
solo Laura e la mia coscienza.
Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso oh no
pero’ non e’ lo stesso ora so
c’e’ ancora il suo riflesso tra me e te
mi dispiace ma non posso Laura c’e’.
Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso oh no
mi casca il mondo addosso ora so
c’e’ acora il suo riflesso tra me e te
mi dispiace ma non posso Laura c’e’
Laura c’e’.

English Version:

Laura’s away
she walked out the door
Laura don’t live here anymore
and you ask me why
I’m wasting my time
over a girl no longer mine
my world is falling down around me
and she will never know
but i just cant forget her

Laura’s away
and i realize
its crazy to see her in your eyes
I’m feeling lost
like i’m going insane
I don’t want to drown you in my pain
tonight i want to tear the walls down
forget about my past
but my heart keeps beating faster

cuz baby when we make love, oh oh
sometimes i feel i fake love, oh no!
i know its a mistake but in your place
i can see Laura here i
see her face
see her face!

Laura’s away
she locked up the key
Laura’s no longer part of me
even though i keep asking why
i cant believe she said goodbye
when i think about her moving slowly
in another sweet embrace
there’s no way i can replace her

cuz baby when we make love, oh oh
sometimes i feel i fake love, oh no!
i know its a mistake but in your place
i can see Laura here i
see her face
see her face!

why is it so difficult to be
what we feel deep down inside us
i believe its logical
but although i try to forget her
she’s here!

I don’t want you to be the other women
just a kick or a special friend
but its hard not to pretend now

cuz baby when we make love, oh oh
its never quite the same love, oh no!
her perfume lingers on and now its clear
I’m so sorry but i know that laura was here

oh baby when we make love!
cuz baby when we make love!
cuz baby when we make love! [/B]

Happy New Year

Here is a new years gift for all of you (us) hard alcoholics…

Enjoy :smiley:

Ispired by Lykkes last post in her diary:

Good Morning,… My name is Ragna and I am PE addicted…

In the morning while drinking coffe with my mother before work, I talk with her about news in PE, how I globaled or how much I lost because of what. When arrived at work I login, and until I am finished with work I stay, most of the time at EF, and IRC… All the time feeling like I miss something when I am not up to date about PE.
After work I skip the coffe with friends, lunch with familly, or the visit to my grandmamma and go directly to the net cafe to play PE, I promiss myself to stay only for 1-2 hours but most of the time I am in game for 8 hours a day, which is tearing on my pocket… Since one hour of PE for me is worth 10 PED IRL and my wage is around 4000 PED per month, from which I use only 1300 PED and give the rest to my familly as support.
When visiting my gf I used to take time to visit also some entropians from her city, or to go to a net cafe in her city and play PE with her.

I am even talking with my CEO about PE and try to explain him the virtual economy inside of PE.

When not able to log in to PE for more than 1 day, or when the average loot is dramaticaly bad I become nervous and have fights with the ppl surrounding me.

I spend more time with my “virtual” friends in PE, than with my IRL friends, and they become more important for me than my IRL friends…

dunno why but I feel happy when I can blow up some PED and when I get revenue, I have fun in PE, more than IRL because even if I live in this city for now 8 years I am not used to living in small cities, its just plain boring. The comunity in PE is mature and I feel like most of the ppl I have in my FL are understanding me better than PPL I have in my phonebook…

I am addicted and its true…

But I still dont feel bad because of this addiction,…

Reading the previous entries in my diary made me think where I came from and where I am now, opening the question where I will be in the future.

As I started I was aiming for small gains just enough to finance my hunting, sometimes I was succesfull, most of the time MAs share on my money was larger than my. I had to think about PE and IRL, am I anyhow able to finance this game, since living in a low wage country and playing PE isnt just the best combination you can get, and than I came to the conclusion that I need an idea how to earn the play cash in game.

I started this comissioning service a while ago, it still in the begining but the inquires I have gotten are promissing, some deals were easy to handle some a bit harder, but I am still on the ball and still runing after those.
I build up some connectiones in the past, made friends with even larger connections, which becomes a giant help atm.
