i Miss you all~

Hello hello, its your Royal Coolness once again and im not here to stay for good but im here to give out my 2 cents! hohohoho.

Thanks for the visits to my site tho its been vacant. i've uninstalled my WYD, deleted everything cept the favorites in my IE (soon will tho lol) but i will never abandon this blog and its achievement! :D

WYD Journal Event

Yea, so it is finalised, the Event's Grand Prize been changed to Ancient God weap with no stats. LOL really laughable. Thank goodness i left early. :P

Can see many up and coming new bloggers tho, keep it up :D

Imbalances in the Game.

Lol. they wanna tell us how imbalanced it was to have perfect stats weaps given to bloggers who blog everyday and crack their nuts, i mean brain to conjure up wonderful entries. Now look at this Update link.

They're giving away wonderful prizes, and TONNES of them to people who spend on Wcoins during the month of September. They just made the saying, "The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer" so freaking true.

Lol. well i dont know man just my 2 cents gotta let it out. Hope this game's management wont go bad the same way in SD.

No offence tho! peace out :P

Your Royal Coolness,
Cooldude21

The Final Farewell.

Goodbye my lovers.
Goodbye my friends.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for~ me.

-James Blunt

I'm not gonna post today's topic as a summission in CM Lair as i dont intend to get prizes for this anymore. This will be my last and final entry and its gonna be lengthy, so spare some time for me wont ya?

Before i start, i wanna thank all you readers for the 1,000 hits at this blog. Its an amazing feat for me and i really appreciate you guys reading. really.

I'm the first blogger to post my picture up and many of you guys share your comments and even SultanJohor edited my picture which i really liked. None but one said i needed a makeover lol, i cant be fcuked bout what you think really. Dont hafta mention the name you can find it for yourself. (:

I'm famous and have reputation as a blogger in WYD now. People want me to use my blog to continue blogging for the Ancient Weap, but sorry guys, no can do. My style of writing is very distinctive and i would like to leave this blog clean and not abuse it.



I made this WYD Magazine coverpage and intended to summit it for the fan art event but since im leaving i'd share with you guys.

Its a sudden and swift change i know you guys may feel. One moment i just won Season 1 and the 1st weekly prize for Season 2 and now im leaving. Well, im just so disappointed in my luck in this game. Therefore this entry will be full of my opinions, opinions that i didnt voice out due to the backlash i might receive if i let it out.

You ready? Here we go.

.
.
.

Reason i left.

Firstly, what are you reasons for gaming? No matter what your reasons might be, it all boils down to this final point; to have fun. If you read my post in August i was hooked to the money cube and i still am.

From 150mil which i scrimped and save by joining leagues, making sub accounts for free hp pots and whatever a dedicated gamer will do, i made it to 400mil. The greed in me persisted and eventually i got it to 1 billion.

Only way to win in gambling is to know when to stop like i mentioned before and i didnt. i kept on trying and proceeded to lose it all. From the heavens i fell down to hell, so fast that i skipped Earth.

A billionaire for 30 seconds.

Im having fun playing this game really. But the disappointment i receive is far far greater. I even sold the 10 Laks you see for 45mil and played the cube; wanting to make a comeback and made it to 85mil and lost it all again :D

Logged my sub account which had 16mil made it to 30mil and lost it all again :D

The disappointment and sadness i felt was contradicting my reasons to play on, and read on to know what are the other factors.

Golden tip for you: If you made a 100% profit, its time to stop really. You see the pattern around here?

.

.

Regarding the Ancient Weapon Hoo-ha

So i know there was this guild gathering where all leaders and OPs attended with GM Helius and they were briefed on the oncoming events and stuff.

Many of them complained that the WYD Journal Event prizes of giving Ancient Weapon was too unfair, imbalanced and what not. Well, i agree but to a certain extent.

You see, i too feel that increasing the total winners from 3 to 10 was a terrible mistake made by the team. It will spoil the balance of the game tremendously.

A simple and shallow example will be that 6 winners outta the 10 were in blue guilds. 1 in red, thats me. and the rest pending. Imba? go figure.

I felt that at most CMs should do was to increase it to FIVE (5) at most. But oh well the decision is final so now people are complaining bout Season 2.

It was supposedly decided that GM Helius that the prize will become a +9 God Weapon, no ancient. Well, who the hell will put in so much effort to blog for a month for that? Well maybe some of you but definitely not me.

Whats worse? you break your god weap when you ancient and there goes 1 month of hard work down the drain :) so, if you really wanna change it to +9 god weap, prepare for junk blogs.

Well, i audaciously say i deserve a 72dmg/32map +9 Ancient Weap as i really put in my 101% into my blog and if you think blogging is easy, think again. Everyday i hafta rack my brains for new topics to write on, i go in-game find and create nice screenies and then edit it and again with research and readings i try to conjure up my masterpiece.

If you think im being haughty, proud and disrespectful, sorry to say i wouldnt be saying this if i do not have confidence and backup. :D

.

.

.

Alright enough bout the sad and controversies already, lets move on to the bright side of life. Writing is an enjoyment to me and i win all writing competitions held even in the old SD where i won all 3 Destiny Stories Untold Events either 1st or 2nd place. For those SD mates you would get what i mean.

Acknowledgements

This game has allowed me to meet many many friends globally and the management team is really competent. I enjoyed most of the events created and have had great fun since 19 April 2008.

Sorry i cant possibly mention all the names out but you guys know who you are. Really thank you guys if you have talked to me, pk-ed me, and what not, you guys are part of my Destiny here in WYD Global. However, one really deserve to be singled out.

CM Dhar

CM Dhar is really an important figure in WYD now and as well as the rest of the CM team whether you are behind the stage doing technical stuff or paper works, you guys rock really.

Since the introduction of CMs i think around 6 August 2008, gaming has never been better. CMs will always be there to create the mood and mingle around with you guys. They organize and brainstorm events every month to cater to players who dont just wanna do pure grinding in game.

CM Dhar was more of just a CM to player relationship to me, we kinda develop into friends as we speak mainly about events and feelings. Perhaps it was his job well done that i feel this way as thats what a Community Manager is supposed to do; mingle with the community and make them feel happy and welcomed. Well Dhar im sure you're doing a fantastic job.

Even tho i left this game perhaps maybe we could still keep in touch either via your blogsite, friendster or even my email which i sent to wyd_cm@gamenetworks.com (new email for events and community questions to the CMs)

Achievements

I'm really proud and satisfied of what i am today ingame and even tho im just a puny lv 312 newb God Hunter, i truly enjoyed the process of getting my perfect E grade set with Anct PD God Bow together on a lv 71 Fenrir. With high potential of getting a +10 set of God Armors perfect stats if i stay on.

I achieved all this without spending a single cent and i nurtured it from level 1 with my old hands. I didnt share accounts, didnt trade accounts and didnt use spirit seals to get a Celestial to where i am now. Therefore i feel all the more contented.

However i invested lotsa time as i spend at least 15 hours (WTF? i know LOL) ever since i started my holidays when im not going out. Of cos the 15 hours were not just pure grinding etc but also chatting with the wonderful community we have there. I even continued blogging when i have my final and major exams and on the 15 Sept i would get my results.

Dont know if i will flunk any, but really bear in mind, i spend lotsa effort in this blog event and i feel i truly deserve it (:

Last look of Coolio

Alright i really loved this event and i really treasure the process of my Destiny in this game but i'm leaving now, particially because im gonna serve National Service (aka Army) soon for 2 years so i cant game much anyway.

My account has been passed (lol go figure) to one of my bestest mate since SD and so will all my sub accounts too. Hes matured and wont tarnish my reputation but do take note it aint the Royal Coolness anymore.

Alright adios amigos. Peace out.

For the final time,

Your Royal Coolness,

Cooldude21 -xoxo

Anticipate the Unexpected this Season! Part II

This is Part 2 of the Weekly Topic "What to expect in my blog this season". It will cover primarily on what you will see here at Old School's Cooldude in the near future.

Welcome to my life.

With arms wide open,

Under the sunlight.

Welcome to this place,

I'll show you everything.

With arms wide open - Creed

One of my favorite songs, i welcome you guys to Season 2 with me here with arms wide open! :D

-

I've received plenty of comments bout my blog in Season 1. Trust me, plenty. All of them were positive ones and were compliments lol maybe the critics are not telling me themselves haha.

-

CM Dhar's comment was a nice one. One that would summarise what others have said. As you probably would have figured, i emphasize alot on variety, therefore i've gotten this comment from CM Dhar himself haha.

His comments matched my aim perfectly. Magazines come in different kinds, but i guess mine was more of the Entertainment and Variety kind; ironically i rarely read magazines haha.

So expect more constant variety and entertaining content here at my blog.

.

.

.

Secondly, i'm gonna try my hands on stuff i already touched, but did not majorly cover on. Something that could get me far ahead and would welcome lotsa commotion. It starts with C, no prizes got getting it right tho lol.

Yes, i'm gonna try my hands at trying to make Comic Strips too, or maybe even Cartoon drawings. So stick around if you want more of that (:

.

.

.

Thirdly, you guys are in for something really really different. How different you would ask. You guys ever heard of Vlog? It means video logging, meaning you blog with a video instead of writing words. I'm gonna try my hands on it i hope it'll go smooth cos i dont know if my handphone-taken video will be too big to upload. >_<

No, not purely only on what is going on in-game but also you get to see more of me; in the flesh. Haha. Lol i've been notified many times by CM Dhar that my face will be visible and available to all WYD players as it will be posted up on the site.

But i am ready. Lol. Perhaps many of you are wondering how Coolio really looks like in reality. Therefore i decided to post a picture of myself right here to let you readers have a brief idea of how i look like before i scare you guys with my video lol.

Narcissism aint a crime. :P

Hehe hope i didnt scare you guys off. Fourthly, expect more rewarding activities organized by me. I organized a trivia in my blog in Season 1 which sadly only 1 person took part that is my bud MSTR-FOEMA. haha. I gave away my daily award of 3 Laks to him.

So i hope more people will participate in my activities in Season 2. Ideas are gushing through my mind and some of these activities are going to be held in-game so if you see me spamming like a madman, why not head down and join my games and of cos, there will be rewards :D

If you missed them, dont worry i'll blog bout it and give you guys a brief idea of what has happened.

.

.

.

Thrilled enough i hope? haha. So this is a brief summary of what to expect right here. Hope it makes you interested and remember to check back tomorrow for a new entry! (:

Your Royal Coolness,

Cooldude21

What A Day!

In case you're wondering wheres part II of what to expect in my blog, no i havent forgot bout it. But today was such a eventful day that i thought i send part II to a later date. So much happened today lol and i'd thought i share with you guys.

If youre sick of Coolio's wordy entries and cant be bothered reading, today's post is just for you! full of Pictures :D

Anyways Academy League Results for Day 2.

• Beginner Division: Malaysia Academy
• Advance Division: Malaysia Academy
• Hardcore Division: Malaysia Academy
• OP Division: Germany Academy

No, your eyes arent playing tricks with you. Its a Malaysia Hat Trick. HAHAHA lol. Malaysia has too much in numbers so much so they fill almost half the Armia Arena.

How come Malaysia has that much people you might ponder, well its because its held 9pm on a Saturday, and we contact each other to tell them the server of League, therefore we have great attendance. (:

Unity! :D

Yes CM Dhar paid a rare visit at this time as he usually doesnt attend Saturday's league. hehe. But he was Lalaland God for the day and he and his Lalaland tribal mates captured me :(

-

There were so many Lalaland members it scares me, of cos no prize for guessing it all started with -Carbuncle- the Lalaland Princess. Lol. Finally i broke free from the evil Lalaland.

Picture a man who escaped from a Mall of Living Zombies in the twilight sky.

.
.
.

There was Guild War today and battle for Armia S1 where taxes are tempting and rewarding. However there was a man called Balmus, the tax keeper who was spamming non-stop!



I tried to contact Alia to help me teach this broke a lesson, alas, he aint online :( LOL. So pissed off with his spamming, i tried to do all i could to shut his gap.






Yes i tried all methods, from begging him to STFU to giving him a super KUNGFU KICK! but it all went to nought as he still spams like an arse. ARGHHHH really driving me crazy!

Even Balmus is affected by today's GW for taxes!



Left with Hudson's choice, you know what they always say. "If you cant beat them, join them" LOL. So i became Balmus II lol, in the sub conscious mind i heard myself spamming too. OMG!

.
.
.

What a fun-filled day and i hope you enjoyed it as much i did. I dont know who won Armia but we'll find out in tomorrow's post wont we? (:

Stick around then! :D

Your Royal Coolness,
Cooldude21

Anticipate the Unexpected this Season! Part I

Part I will be on what to expect from me and the coming hyped up September!, so lemme share with you guys some nice information and sightings at today's league! :D

So it was Friday's Academy League and an event i look forward to join and fight for our academies. One of the best ingame event i would say.

Btw if youre curious for results here you go.

• Beginner: Singapore Academy
• Advance: Malaysia Academy
• Hardcore: Malaysia Academy
• OP League: HongKong Academy

And GM Helius was riding a Fire Tiger, a God Mount and boy was it a drop-dead gorgeous sight! Think it could be level 120 or something. Back in SD it was called Kirin. Again, due to the chaotic spamming of "GM Summon me please i could not take a decent screenie. lol.

Who let the dogs out? Woof woof woof!

-

And then i had a QnA session with CM Dhar about the coming events and bout this current craze, WYD Journal Event. He was so sweet to spend around 15 minutes of time to answer my queries haha. And he was present at the Academy League cheering players on. Awww.

-

But then notice his tab, Lalaland God LMAO. Think it was to compliment together with -Carbuncle-'s Lalaland Princess lol. Talk bout meddling with players, CM Dhar does it best rofl.

-

Omgwtfbbq?!

-

Lol yes thank you CM Dhar for this wonderful Q&A session or aka Interview or however you wanna address it lol.

-

CM Dhar: Hey Coolio! Go check out my blog for the latest sneak preview of the events lined up for September!

-

Coolio: Lol cool what about them?

-

CM Dhar: You will be surprised and it would be an eventful September and the Friendster event is going to be up too :D

-

Okay, kinda tiring typing like this and i dont like the format, i think its conversational. lol. (Correct me if im wrong.)

-

Well we talked bout the boo-boo bout yesterday and that CM Aruman paid me a visit. And it turns out that. OMGWTFBBQ! That wasnt CM Aruman! AHHHH. lol. It was a new CM that was using CM Aruman's character.

-

But nonetheless she was sweet. Unveil her soon yea? xD

-

.

.

.

-

There was a question tugging at my heart, then my gullet and then threatening to blurt outta my mouth or should i say a spasm in my fingers to type it out to ask CM Dhar.

-

Coolio: Hey, i wanna ask if its possible to win BOTH weekly prizes? Like if a person did really good for both topics in a week?

-

Yes the answer he gave made me hyperventilate on the spot in front of my monitor.

-

CM Dhar: No. (Solemn look)

-

Coolio: OMGWTFBBQ! *Runs around Armia Arena crazily*

-

CM Dhar: There's no way to win both topics in a week, it'd be two different winners for sure. xD

-

Coolio: *Buy herbs from Martin* aka Going mad LOL.

-

Yes, so now you heard it first right here at Old School's Cooldude! Theres no way to win both topics in a week! >_<

-

.

.

.

-

Did you know?

-

Sometimes you would see more of a CM more than the other. That is because they are in-charge of a certain area! CM Dhar is the one who caters to the South East Asia (SEA) continent and now you know why you dont see much of the other CMs around.

-

.

.

.

-

If you already had read CM Dhar's Reflection blog, you would know the following im going to cover. But if you havent, you get to know more here. Tho not official, it will give u a brief idea as what is going to happen. Being a player who cherishes each and every event thought up i thought i'd cover it a little before the official launch.

-

There will be around 4 Community Events thought up by the CM team led by CM Dhar hehe. They will oughta be out this coming Tuesday after maintenance so make sure you stick around the CM Lair or the WYD Global site.

-

Oh and do take note my review and the stuff at Dhar's webbie aint official and will be subject to changes.

-

1) Where Am I?

-

No, its not a Who-Got-Amnesia Event LMAO. This event is related to Dora the Explorer and it is a refreshing idea and something that most would look forward to!

-

It involves a CM who will take a Screenie and post it up. Then we would have to rack our brains and think where the place could be. Take a Screenie and the coordinates and if its near enough, TADAH u win!

-

Imagine Hide-And-Seek in WYD and there you have it!

-

2) WYDian Friendsters!

-

Simple event i'd say. If you have a friendster account, remember to add CM Dhar and then become a fan of WYD Global (a fan profile) and then gotta stick around for stuff they will ask every week. Blend in some creative juice and you have a rewarding product i think! :D

-

-

Speaking of friendster, as CM Dhar has already viewed it and saw my face. he commented i look like CM Nyx LOL? Hmmm. He must be good looking chap no doubt LMAO!

-

3) WYD Fan Art!

-

Yes if you enjoy drawing and creating masterpieces of artwork, this event suits you best! Like Alia's Motivational/De-motivational posters and stuff liddat i guess!

-

4) Shouts & Answer Event!

-

Lol as the name suggests, you should get the idea! Prepare for an invasion of green letters and words rather than your usual red, blue and white as players use Shouts to get their Answer across!

-

A Yell-a Good Event id say. Oops i meant hella good event. Lol.

-

.

.

.

-

I heard theres something about a Vlog Event! Omg omg lol im still quite unsure of how to do a Vlog but i assure you readers you'd get to see me soon! That would be one of the many stuff to expect in my blog this season! :D

-

There you go readers, this is part I of the weekly topic "What to expect in my blog this season" and stick around for Part II tomorrow!

-

More fun-packed and entertaining stuff for you tomorrow right here! Thanks for reading! (:

-

Your Royal Coolness,

Cooldude21

-

p/s I wanna thank CM Dhar for taking a break of his busy schedule to answer all my questions and im sure we had a great time sharin lotsa LOL haha. cheers. :D

Reflections bout Season 1 Winners. Part II

So there was a big boo-boo when the winners were announced and i kinda brought it up but if you guys missed it then too bad hiek hiek. :P Poor CM Dhar is having his day off and i hope you enjoy your day :D

Met up with CM Aruman over the incident and boy was he a really nice and suportive CM. He was the one who took over Archimaster as the hippest and most fashionable WYDian alive. Lol if you refer to this entry you know more.

Now boosted with two Giantic tree logs as his weapons, speak an ill-advised word and you'd be bashed to death lol.

So what happened? im all yours.

-

CM Aruman was a faithful reader of my blog and im glad he reads it daily. Such support is really appreciated and he said he was a BoyBand kinda guy in the past. Just like me. LOL. He liked Shape of my Heart too! xD

--

and he like how i signed off with Your Royal Coolness lol. Really a CM who will brighten up your day. (or night)

--

And due to his packed schedule he gtg and we bade farewell :D

His weapons... not his swimming trunks. -.-

-

Anyways lets continue to the next five winners of Season One and let the recognition and spotlight shine on them (:

--

6. SultanJohor

Yes a friend who i recommended to bout WYD Journal, i always share good stuff with my friends. SultanJohor was my guildmate from Malaysia Academy and we had much fun and he often gave tips to make a good TK. Since, he has moved on to become OP of Global Academy and i wish him success :D

SultanJohor's weblog holds many of his funny thinking and his love for Transknight and gore. Edited pictures like him holding a +11 Ancient Machine Gun never fails to tickle me LOL. Tho he entered late he still managed to win the grand prize kudos to you Apis bro. :)

---

7. Tuta

-

Tuta's God with his Prize hidden. lol.

---

Tuta, was one of my early menace in Academy League before i graduated from Malaysia Academy. He was strong with his +9 Ancient PD Lightning Spear and his 8th nature skill. Often PK us in Hydra quest and at the League and now he has moved on to Shield guild to continue being my menace (im in Zeus btw) LOL.

Puppy's Lair, one of the most unrelated names to WYD but still packs a punch about WYD. He was MIA most of the time but his entries tho short, were entertaining. Entries like his suggestions for Olympics sports in WYD and useless items sold in WYD really made me chuckle.

8. wickedness

wickedness is a foema and is a fan of the black foema as her blog name suggests. Not a very close friend and i have not the chance to speak to him at all. Hope to look forward to meeting u in game. (:

the blog was helpful and in his recent post, he showed a kind gesture by showing how the disqualified bloggers how to add stuff in their blogroll or bloglist. Now, aint that sweet?

9. Alia

Alia, someone in Shield guild which i barely had the chance to talk to. Even tho i tried talking to him in-game he just seemed so busy lol.

In and Out of the Game is his blog's name and he is famous for his motivational posters which has some really creative work. Then he made a gore-filled (Im sure u love it SultanJohor hehe) comic about the tax saga.

10. newbcaKe

newbcaKe is not really a newb, hehe he merely uses the hunter for this event from what i know. till now his main character remains a mystery and i hope we have the chance to converse in-game my friend. (:

Newbcake's Nooblog is a blog full of comic strips and is really entertaining. If you have a tiring day of just wanna relax and not think too much, check this blog out for a laugh. Recently he posted a post on how to photoshop with GIMP. Tho i tried it out im still really newb at using it. hehe.

.
.
.


And that sums up the past 10 winners of Season 1 and now Season 2 has been trimmed down to only 5 monthly weapons! How challenging and tight the race will be now.

Oh and btw, special thanks to SuperHighMe my guildmate for selling me a Removal Enamel that removed the red in my breastplate. Now i look gorgeous and heres a screenie to prove that. :P

I thought i saw a coin lying around here somewhere...

Alright its time for me to tackle the second weekly topic and i have something to work on but im not sure if it would work out. Curious? Stay tuned here at Old School's Cooldude! :D

Your Royal Coolness,

Cooldude21

Reflections bout Season 1 Winners. Part I

Note: This entry contains alot of my own personal opinion (aka imho = in my honest opinion) and are subjective and not meant to flame or upset anyone. Neither do you have to agree with me, any comments are very WELCOME! :D Hope you enjoy reading it. (:

Looking back on the things i've done,
i was trying to be someone.
i played my part,
and left you in the dark.

now let you show you the shape of my heart. <3

.

Told you it'd be a week of reflecting on Season 1. Season 1 lasted one whole month, surely it could not be that easy to forget it totally? Season 1's prizes overall paled in comparison with Season 2's. So i shall dedicate this 1 week to the poor o underrated Season 1. (:

Season 1 was supposed to have only 3 winners. However due to increasing amount of quality entries, the WYD team has increased to 10. Imho, 5 would be sufficient and 10 too many, and might spoil the balance and economy of the game. However i believe in CMs' decision and they shall have the final say.

I shall go over my opinions of the first 5 winners not in any specific order but according to the post in the CM Lair. Links are provided so feel free to click and visit their blogs :)


1. Cooldude21

Lol. Hope you enjoy my work. Thanks for the support :D

2. MSTR-FOEMA

MSTR-FOEMA & me during his interview.

---

This dude from Egypt is one of my best mates i made from this WYD Journal Event. I enjoyed his interview and we shared many jokes together haha. It's my pleasure to meet you and read your blog my friend. He recently decided to swap and become battle foema and i wish you a smooth journey of conversion alright. :)

---

MSTR-FOEMA's blog has alot of entertaining jokes and humour that will get you cracking if you understand and read between the lines. Famous for his mock interviews which are real conducted interviews twisted and edited to add humour yet containing the facts still. Brilliantly done.

---

3. Soloran

---

Some call him -Soloran- i dont know why, lol. But anyways hes of the same age from what i know, 20 right bro? Tho not very close to me, we started conversing more near the end of Season 1. He ignored me when i said Hi before :( LOL but now he doesnt so its all cool lol.

---

Soloran's Newbie Guide to Everything, so far he has done a great job at covering hunting spots etc and im sure many of the newcomers have learnt something from his blog. One of the pioneers who started from Week 1 of Season 1, he remains a tough competition. :)

---

4. claire

--

claire together with me and SultanJohor

---

Claire and i go way back to SD but i quitted SD way before it crashed so she might not have any idea of who i am. She is a loyal player and she played on SD till the very last day. Kudos to that.

---

Claire's blog called wyd4fun! is a really helpful guide and although it havent helped me yet, im sure when i turn Cele or Soul i will need it. She graciously shared the secret combination of the runes and i thank her for that. Even making calculations to show MKs are better of with 1H Wand and a 1H Axe. Great effort. Make sure when you use her information you gotta give credit to her! :D

---

5. Yu-Gi-Oh

---

This dude named after a japanese anime is the OP of Global Academy and i wasnt close to him. But i was close to his other character LOL. Only after receiving his god weap did he tell me he was Yu-Gi-Oh lol i was like, "OHHHH youre Yu-Gi-Oh-My-God" lol.

---

WYDGlobalInfo Weblog as the name suggested is a blog with information and i really liked his post when he made a Recruitment for Armia graveyard and was really fresh idea haha. Yu-Gi-Oh's entries are really from his heart and you can understand his situation well from his posts.

---

Alright that sums up the first 5 winners of Season 1 and stick around for tomorrow's post in which i will cover the next 5.

---

.

.

.

---

Guys just a suggestion perhaps all 10 of us should all gather at a pre-decided time and take a Screenie of all 10 of us winners for keepsake? haha. Who knows even CMs and GMs might be in it and we'd all be posted in the CM Lair.

--

Kinda hard to organise but if you guys are keen contact each other via our comment's box. Hope it works out fine. (:

Your Royal Coolness,

Cooldude21

Reflections bout the things i'd learnt in WYD Journal Season 1

Disclaimer: This will be a long and rather wordy entry and you might get hooked on it, so you are advised to spare at least 10 minutes of your time and Coolio holds no responsibility if you are late or something due to reading this LOL.

Guess who's back...

Back again...
Coolio's back...
Here again!

Firstly, a big WELCOME to my faithful readers lol. During the past 5 days tho i havent been posting, still my blog counter went up. My poll showed that 7 readers were here on a daily basis and 2 were not. Thank you guys for all the support you've shown, i really appreciate it deeply.

Yes i took a hiatus a day before Season 1 ended, but fret not this hiatus will not last, cos im back! :D

So, before i officially start, lemme give u a slight flashback to 7th August 08 when i first started this blog. I had my qualms about starting a blog as you can read on the 8th August 08.

After that, with the words of encouragement from fellow WYDians and nice CMs, the next 20 posts all come to place naturally. You see, i was a newb at blogging. I didnt know how to add a counter to my blog, didnt know the features well and all i did was to meddle around and try my luck.

Old School Cooldude! is my first ever blog and boy has it been a wonderful experience. I learnt a couple of things and it has been summarised to these few points.

I have learnt...

• to dare to try out new things and not fret over the outcome too much; thus creating this blog.

• to utilize my creative brain juices to entertain my readers with trivia contests, creative unedited screenies and some food for thought.

• to manage my time better for gaming, blogging, studies and my lifestyle as well; thus you see my 22 consecutive winning entries in a row.

• to interact better with my readers and fellow WYDians as they mentioned they could easily relate and my entries kept them entertained.

• to improve my already huge liking for writing and connect to people's mind and hearts.

• Well, thats all i could think of for now. hehehehh.

Alright am gonna hand out a tip for you to be successful in blogging. You ready?

Release your inner soul and let it flow. -Cooldude21

Yes, releasing your inner soul and let go with the flow. Thats what i did to get what i gotten today. Let the unidentified inner self show itself and you'd be amazed by it.

Be original and not plagarize your entries. Copying + Pasting won't win you the daily prizes. Blog bout what you hafta say bout something and start inducing your readers. Of cos, you gotta be careful about their feelings and not flame others or write stuff that might offend your readers.

I always believe in consistency coupled with variety, they might contradict each other in a way but if done well, will cater to many of your audience.

Therefore some entries i wrote novel-like stuff like Coolio's Adventures.

Informative and sometimes helpful posts like the Academy League.

Entries that combine real-life and in-game like the Beijing Olympics 2008 fever.

Pictorial and colourful entries like Meeting My Other Half of Me.

And many many more.

This could be a winning formula, i feel. Thereafter i received a comment from CM Dhar that i truly agree upon which will be covered next post. :D

Alright enough bout my personal opinions and stuff i've learnt. Let me highlight some major happenings during my 5 day hiatus.

So it was the official end of Season 1 and i am honoured to be one of the 10 who won the grand prize of an ancient god weapon of our choice. Im a hunter and therefore i picked a PD 63dmg Isis if youre wondering what i chose.

CM Dhar was very thoughtful and appeared ingame to congratulate the winners "personally" (well behind the monitor but oh well whatever LOL). So i took my +9 statless Isis and with the Hunter's skill, Illusion, i teleported next to CM Dhar and held her hostage! WAHAHAHAHAHHHAHA. :D

Wheres my PD Isis DHARRRRRRRR??!!!!!1111 lol.

---

Wahaha jk i aint that mean. Dhar made some very constructive comments that helped motivate me for tomorrow's entry!! (thanks CM Dhar ^^)

---

*TING*

---

A letter appeared in my screen or should i say the ransom for CM Dhar's release LOL. I opened it and YIPPEEEEEEE!

--

My Isis was here and it was one of the happiest moment in my gaming life and i felt a GREAT TREMENDOUS HUGE LARGE GIGANTIC sense of achievement. Believe me its larger then life.

SultanJohor and claire were there too when CM Dhar was kidnapped but they were too happy to help free her LOL. So i suggest we took a screenie together! Was such a joyous occasion that i really felt my hard work and efforts paid off well.

(From left): SultanJohor, Cooldude21, claire

This whole week might be dedicated to reflections, thoughts and opinions depending on the mood so be ready for it! :)

I wanna thank all of you again for congratulating me ingame, msn, phone, pigeon carriers (oops jk) and thank you for sparing time to read my blog i really appreciate it and your attendance contributes to my success too. Thank you once again.

Hope more of you will comment here and let me acknowledge your most welcomed presence. Love you all. Peace out.

Meeting My Other Half of Me.

I woke up in the morning and check out how my CC went, and expectedly, there was a letter to tell me i've gotten my prize from the WYD Journal Event. I opened it, and there was three sentences instead of the usual one. (if u participate you'll get what i mean)

One word to best describe my feelings. WTF? Nice guess almost but not quite. Flabbergasted is the word i'd use.

Finally, my streak of best entries ended; and i know all good things will come to an end; what goes up must come down, etc you get my point.

But, i did not expect it to be my previous post that lost it as i felt it was written pretty well balanced with pictures. Good old blogs with words and feelings coupled with some pictures dont work out now i figured. Comics, majorly edited pictures will do the trick. Im disappointed. Very.

Sigh, CMs do have their right to pick the winners to their own discretion so what can i do? :/ Get on with life i guess.

Thanks RoyalRumble of guild Disturbed and OP of Malaysia Academy and the people who consoled and still supported me and my humble blog. Your kind words of motivation will get me going for the next four days.

So i dont really have the mood to write nicely so i just flood today's post with pictures. :/

.

So i was in-game and i was f*cking astonished. Suddenly outta nowhere, a splitting image of myself appeared and started talking to me. crap.

Woah. Who da hell are you?

I asked him who he was and if he was my evil clone. And we started quarreling.

Wait, your mum is my mum!

So started exchanging your-mum insults and realised, his mum was mine and vice versa. So we exchanged blows instead. (no, not that kind you horny a$$ lol)

You visited me at a wrong day pal!

He said he was here to calm me down from what has happened at the WYD Journal and told me life hafta go on. But i was too pissed and disappointed to listen, so i let my knuckles do the talking. *POW*

We're the X-twins. X_x

--

Ow, get your face outta my arse.

---

Damn, stop using Hair-Hax0r hair cream noob.

---

So we wrestled and fought with each other as he was really getting on my nerves and adding to my frustration. And finally i managed to subdue him.

Dont need captions to tell you what he's doing.

See how irritatin he can get. lol.

That's it.

--

I pressed Alt-F4 and bailed myself out from WYD for awhile, only to find myself blogging bout WYD. crap.

--

No more whining, im off to meet friends and enjoy life and not occupy myself trying to find reasons why i didnt win a blog entry of day. Its not a matter of Laks, but a matter of effort. Screw it. Tata.

Thanks to MisterCuddles aka the Knowns for his inspiration for today's post.

Thanks again to RoyalRumble bro, your encouragement means alot to me. I know you're reading this.

Without you two, there wouldnt be an entry today either. Thank You.

Stay tune for more entries as we near the end of WYD Journal Event i guess.

Reflections and my personal opinion of how the future of this WYD Journal Event gonna be up soon too.

Your Royal Dampness,

Journey of a Young Immortal.

Coolio finally fulfilled his destiny to be a hunter on 24th August 2008 and a new journey embarks for him. With newfound skills of the hunter, Coolio starts a journey With His Destiny.

First stop after the King granted Coolio the pass to Immortality, WYD Heaven.

Heaven is a place on Earth. Or not.

Coolio went into a warp portal right after the acceptance of the king and ascended into a holy place, the WYD Heaven. It was a beautiful to behold, and Coolio cannot help gasping.

Clouds and the clear blue sky was everywhere and Coolio found himself walking on air. "Cool!" he exclaimed and went back to WYD Earth to resume his journey.

The bare-naked Truth.

Transcended back to Earth, Coolio was a weak and pitiful sight. LOL. He had no clothes on and was a measly level one. Hurriedly, Coolio went to his abode and took out his armor parts he wore while he was a mortal.

Looking at his Bhopal Swords at his stash, Coolio hesistated to pick them up. Instead he walked out to the marketplace unarmed. With sharp eagle eyes, Coolio tried to look for a weapon suitable for the new him; alas there it was, an Elven Bow +5. (LOLOL serious im using this)

Ready for him to gain more experience, Coolio went to slay some boars outside armia. Past memories flashed across his mind with each squealing of a pig. ROFL. He was reliving his past as a young aspiring BeastMaster. Finally, the smell of the pigs got to him and he moved on to the Dungeon.

Visiting the Griffon Master at Armia, Coolio rode a level 50 Griffin? Lol.

Wished it was mine. =(

Overlooking all over the Armia Fields, the griffin swiftly brought Coolio to the Dungeon entrance. It was an thrilling ride throughout and one will wonder when the new mounts namely Griffins and perhaps Green Dragon will come out in WYD. hehe.

Finally Coolio was no longer a newb but a novice and he started to look for a guild. He went back to his previous Academy - Malaysia but realised Gods cannot join it. (i know beforehand of cos lol) Rejected, Coolio's head hung till he saw his old mates from Supreme Destiny (SD)

Woot PrOmiSe, Sub-head of guild ZEUS recruited me and i was rejoined with my past mates once again. TAHOE, DeneB, Zoro, -Chaos-, Total0wn, Arrancar, EnEmy0fSuN, Ryukz, Ebiru, FlintA and too many to mention all welcomed me with open arms and exceeding warmth.

With a newfound guild and new identity, Coolio seeks to level as fast as he could so he could join the ranks of the Zeus members at the shortest time.

So, CAN SOMEONE DO A N SHARE FOR ME PLEASEEEEE. sorry for caps, cant be helped no one do N shares nowadays! :(

Boo. Anyways for those who are as clueless as me yesterday about how Upgraders look like and their mechanism, here is a picture of how an Upgrader look like.

Risky AND Rewarding. :/

Alright i hope you guys enjoy today's post and stick around! :D

Comments are very much welcome!

Events & Maintenance Tuesday. [26/8/08]

The title of today's post seems familiar and yes it has something to do with today's maintenance. However, its more of an introduction of the new events that are upcoming. Therefore its more of a more-about-events post haha.

I personally value and love events alot, even tho some events might disappoint me as i could not really attend or participate in.

Events to me, are special bonuses to let u spend your attention on. Dont you feel sick always CC-ing mobs, PK-ing, or AFK merchanting? I mean, its the same old process over and over again and thankfully, more in-game events are being introduced.

Games of the Generals is now a permanent activity in WYD, together with mini events like Scrap events and Royal Rumble (havent take part in them since they held at 3am but might) and not forgetting the wonderful Academy League.

They make me look forward to loggin into the game and im grateful that WYD has so much events in store for us (tho some are not as nice) Today i will touch on the two major events coming up today; namely The Olympic Quiz and the Mystic Journey.

Mystic Journey

This event is an event im 101% certain im not able to join. Imagine a treasure hunt combined with a wild goose chase and you have this event, however the reward might be very attractive. You have to collect items from all around WYD and in the end you will make an upgrader.

I do not have an exact idea and description of an upgrader, but i provided the link to WYD's event page, click the name or here to see.

Heres an image of a Map Piece for those who like to see how its like.

Gotta catch them all, 5 more to go!

The Olympics 2008 Quiz

Ah, what a cute event even though the prizes are nothing to be wow-ing about. 30k gold for answering a question right. lol. Its a multiple choice question related to the Olympics 2008 and they give you 4 choices.

What really impress me is that the GMs + CMs actually tried to connect with the community as the Olympics Games is a worldwide event that was just over. Imagine the facts and questions they have to think of to ask us, the effort put in; even thought i had seen repeats but bottomline is, the effort they are showing.

A screenshot of how the popup in your screen will look like when you answer it correctly and wrongly. (hope you guys can see it)

LOL study more?! Im here to play! lol :D

--

Hehe this event only lasts till the 2nd September tho, so have fun answering this funky trivias b4 it ends! haha.

--

Oh another "event" which also lasts till 2nd September is the Nell Gamble thingy. For 1 whole week, there would be a 20% Gamble Price Discount from the usual 500 wcoins? (correct me im wrong)

--

Maintenance today did not go smooth and had a hiccup where Merchant Nell could not be used and delay in reopening servers. The thoughtful GMs then compensated the players with a modified experience rate for 3 hours till 12:00 game time. Good job well done by them. haha.

---

Btw check out the banners of the events, looks really nice especially the Mystic Journey one tho the event aint as good lol (of cos imo)

--

For more information about changelog after today's maintenance click here to link to the CM Lair entry about the change logs.

---

Okay to end today's entry about the events available, check out CM Dhar's Blogsite for a possible upcoming event regarding Friendster and Facebook! heheh. enjoy ;)
