Well here is my relaunch of the site, with the same title, just without the hyphen. So "EOBroadcast.weebly.com" is now the site. Hooray.
If you're not familiar with what the old site was, well, it basically showed lists of all the different items in the game of EO, with their stats and such showing... I had to go through the entire game and obtain items and search for stats on them to acquire information. The process was not so easy, but once it was finished and thrown up online, apparently people found it very helpful. It was there for a bit until Weebly decided to take it down. Now, I plan on regathering the information.
Thanks to Wickedfrost, though, he had grabbed most of the lists I had on my old site and put them on the official Endless Online Wiki a while back, so I can at least re-obtain most of the info.
And now, for some news of what is happening in the world of Endless Online...
Well, when I started playing again today, I noticed there is TONS of blockage to so many locations, everywhere... to get to the desert to fight the Rocks and Stone Gollems, you need to be level 14. To get to the Ice Mountains, it's level 10. To get to the Reaper Cave, I heard it was 33. What?
This was a sheer disappointment to me when I found this all out. New players are extremely more limited to where they can go, and all they can do is train until they get to those levels so they can move on some more. Sadly, the only place to really train is at the Sheep, outside of Aeven. You have to grind through tons of them until you can finally get out of that dreadful location, but unfortunately the place is infested with botters, making it even more of an utter nuisance.
I'm at level 6 as of now, when I'm level 7 I can have the access to Malone Outlet. I have no idea how much higher of a level I need to be to go even further than that, and I would REALLY like a new training spot. At this time I would be happy to go to the desert, but as I've said that's been blocked to everyone under the level of 14. I can't really go to any bosses either, which at those places, even at a low level, if you have the proper equipment, you may have a chance and get lucky here-and-there, as well as make some good experience at times.
Right now, though, I'm stuck in this area. I like how the game now has multiple quests that you can redo to help gain some experience, but they get annoyingly repetitive VERY fast, and they don't help out all that much anyway.
What was the point of all this blockage? I understand you need to keep the inexperienced ones out, but if someone is inexperienced, they won't be able to do adequately in that location, let alone survive. That's one of the things I loved about EO, it was free-roaming around world. If you did not have decent armor, or you were not a high-enough level, the monsters there would let you know. Now it's literally just an invisible wall, limiting you to a spot that you MAY actually have a chance, based on your prior-knowledge and perhaps your equipment.
It's a shame. But I'll let you know how things work out once I hit the next level... I can say, though, I'm glad there's no more super/hyper-speeding... that is a blessing.
