WHEN COMPETITION IS TOO MANY…

RuneScape is one of the oldest but trending games in MMO nowadays.

Last November 2012, the Evolution of Combat has been released. It is said that the new update is to balance the game’s classes, since previously melee are more powerful compared to Range and Magic. While later this year in February 2013 RuneScape 2007 has been re-launch having the old feel and game interface of the old school RuneScape system.

A lot of players continue to transfer to RuneScape 2007 due to the said updates (EOC). Even my friends transferred to RuneScape 2007, I can’t help myself but to transfer as well since my friends are there… and they are waiting….

On the other hand players that had transferred to RuneScape 2007 are most likely the veteran and PVP/PK oriented players, they transferred because of the simplicity and nostalgia feel of the old RuneScape. But most likely, they really didn’t like the Evolution of Combat system.

I noticed that Gold sellers are also moving to RuneScape 2007, since in RuneScape the market competition of RSGP is high, that the sellers tends to lower their selling price due to the growing numbers of sellers While on RuneScape 2007, the demand in buying gold is increasing due to the players who are transferring from RuneScape. Since the server is somewhat new, the consumer demand in gold is increasing but the sellers are still few unlike RuneScape.

Sellers in RuneScape 2007 are commonly buying bulks of gold which are much cheaper, so that they can resell it to a higher price. But there is a downside to it in which leading the buyer on getting banned due to suspicious trade. The trading of large amount of gold can be detected by the game system itself. Due to this case, buyers should have safety measures to consider. I read a thread at STYHE forum about the successful trade using a secured trading platform called PlayerAuctions; it’s a Gaming Marketplace that allows players to exchange real money to different types of game currency.

I would recommend using PlayerAuctions since most of the users at SYTHE use it when trading in RuneScape 2007 and it is pretty much safe.

No need to compete for the low prices, when you can just migrate to another server.

When “dedicated” Dungeon Defender shop is not too dedicated

Co-Op games are one of the game types that usually played by a casual gamers like me; playing with friends is the key! Dungeon Defender is all about treadmill and defending your dungeon, some people usually say its like Diablo III + TowerDefense and you get DD! As I play the game, I come to notice that it seems like the players around me are focusing on their everyday grinding; grinding for Mana to be exact (in-game money).

                I’ve been focusing on grinding my dream set of equipments, I spent time on grinding for gears but I always ended up not getting any. I’m getting really tired of it and wanted to fully enjoy the game before deciding to leave the game. Catching up with my friends on a very short time is my target but with my level and dealing with newbie, greedy or bot partymate sure is a pain in the head.

As time goes by, I’m getting more and more desperate on having my dream set. It would be MUCH MUCH easier for me if there are cheap mana around. I did my research and saw this online trading site that is “dedicated” for Dungeon Defenders. As dedicated as it can be, the items are still expensive and feedback from them that I don’t like is the delivery time. Again, I did my research and found an interesting Online Trading Platform named playerauctions which is one of the top online trade markets to provide many reliable sellers with good feedback that claimed to deliver the goods on time.

Thanks to that and I’m able to kick some cry babies in-game.

When dedicated shop is not too dedicated, that’s the time to look for alternatives.

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF 2D GAMES

Socializing can be this exciting! If you are not familiar with Habbo, it’s a 2d web-based game social networking site. The game is famous for its unique blocky 2D graphics. Nowadays Habbo is one of the trending games, so I tried the playing it myself. On my first experience, the interface and quest is very confusing for a beginner. But thankfully the game has its own help chat.

                My Habbo character has its own room which I can customize by adding different kinds of furniture.  To avail furniture, I tried doing the mini-games which I earn duckets. Duckets are the secondary currency wherein it is only use for renting. I wanted to have permanent furniture, but only gold coin can be use to avail permanent furniture.

                To experience the full customization and permanent in-game items, I asked my in-game friends where I can find cheaper gold coins other than buying in the habbo site. One of them said to use a site called PlayerAuctions wherein the site also provide security in all of my transaction. Thankfully I use this site; I’ve never had any issue in buying my gold coins.
