Chapter Two: VENGEANCE It was four months later before the starting of all possible troubles start to link together to form possibly the most ultimate disaster EVER to strike Trickster Online. It’s all begins with a patch, and like all usual patches by NTreev, it’s mostly made of fail and filled with unexciting contents. As for today, they released a level 250 MyShop set, probably the most elite set ever to emerge on MyShop. Though [SSJ]BuffaMax wasn’t level 250 yet, he was amazed by the pure power flowing out of this new piece of equipment. To him, it’s probably what he needs to survive throughout Caballa Island. the second thing that’s almost, but not quite, as important as his own mother. He levelled towards the MyShop set, as if its beckoning him to get closer, get nearer. He went for 24 hours grinding sessions, calling those who quitted the party as idiots and newbies that don’t know how to train and whined on Forums about not being able to one hit kill the monsters he’s training on. He struggled with other players, together with the same mind and thought, slaughtered thousands of monsters and fought each other for experience. He’s now so focused on levelling that he din’t even bother about picking up his own loots, called those who looted his items as Noobs and tried his very best to kill them off by luring monsters. His hatred for Lions, gunner Foxes, arrow rushing Dragons, area damaging Sheep and the occasional card throwing Raccoon grew by leap and bounds. Often did he stop to call them names but mostly he’s focused in taking revenge by using his own area affecting skill to steal their kills. As soon, when he reaches level 251, he disassembled party (6) and left for Megalopolis. All these pure grinding costs money, and of course; it had taken its toll on the wallet of [SSJ]BuffaMax as he realized that he’s only left with a few million galders. He then went back to Red Rock Fire Mountain (1) and looted for galders. His mind is now so focused on the target that the rest of the world just died by.
Finally, he made JUST enough money before the next patch where NTreev’s removing the 250 equipment set. He went up to Megalopolis; place up a party bulletin on buying MyShop points and soon was approached by another character. This character, though was only Level 27, promised [SSJ]BuffaMax that he have points for sale. They then worked on the price of 1,000 MyShop points for 3.5 Million galders exchange. [SSJ]BuffaMax added the person on his Buddy List, and paid for the points. But to his shock and horror, the person ran away with his galders after deleting him off thier buddy list. This greatly angered [SSJ]BuffaMax and he spammed the official Trickster Forums with threads about being scammed by a Noob. But soon after, [SSJ]BuffaMax began to crave for the 250 sets all over again. Not having enough time to earn his money back for the set, he decided to do things the untruthful way. He placed a bulletin about buying the 250 MyShop set, waited for another MyShop seller and soon after a few hours of persuasion and pleading about being scammed and wanting to be gifted first (7), he soon ran off without paying for the equipments, laughing at the stupidity of the MyShop points seller. This soon became a habit, [SSJ]BuffaMax just scammed people who’s dumb enough not to realize that he’s a scammer. When any other person places Bulletin requests for MyShop points, he will be one of the first few characters to whisper about it. He’ll fight against them on the Bulletin Board, calling them scammers when in actual fact that he’s the one that scammed them. Soon, [SSJ]BuffaMax lost all his friends, most of them who use a fanbased forum that actually cares about scammers and list them out (8).
With the equipments he took untruthfully from the other players, and with ample luck from Nate, [SSJ]BuffaMax is now one of the strongest ever character to exist in the arena. He laughed at the pathetic attempts by other players when they tried to kill him. Beating them down without mercy, he’s now no longer a part of himself. To him, it’s more important to take the opposition down than to finish his dinner that’s waiting for him. More important to earn galders than to go outside to exercise and play. Playing is now even more important than sleep, which is a waste of time towards his thinking.
He went for the Chaoz Tower (9), the new tower where many players tried their best to reach the top, beaten it and boasted it throughout the forums with screenshots. He laughed at the rest who complained that the tower was difficult, and told them that by scamming is the only way for them to even have a hope of winning. Soon, the stupider and much more idiotic percentage of the community (10) begun their scamming craze. Trickster is now a scammer’s paradise, where thousands and thousands of players go around scamming the unwary. The cases of players getting scammed increased dramatically and NTreev staffs tried to keep up with the unbelievable amounts of 1:1 requests about banning scammers. This resulted in thousands, if not millions, of innocent players getting banned (11). Players that gotten themselves unlawfully banned sent in their own 1:1 requests, and soon the entire channel gotten itself jammed up because of the massive amounts of 1:1 being sent to the headquarters of USA NTreev.
NTreev finally decided on a simple but efficient way of ending this mess, by removed gifting from the next patch onwards. This causes tonnes of unhappy players to riot against NTreev, and the stupidity of the lot is undeniably incredible. Tonnes of players boycotted NTreev and refuse to buy any prepaid cards or points. The revenue of USA NTreev plunged rock bottom and they soon ran out of money for the upkeeping of the servers. Trickster will have to be closed down, or NTreev will start losing their hard earned cash.
Just before Trickster Online closed, the half angered, half shocked and all unhealthy [SSJ]BuffaMax stared at his computer screen. He had spent a total of 2 years on the game and now they’re deleting his elite buffalo because of cash?
[SSJ]BuffaMax died the next day from the pressure. Its all too much for his mind and body. But before he died, the failure which he called life flashed pass before him and he felt a pang of hopelessness and regret. Why was he so stupid to waste his life on a computer game? Why dint he make more friends online? Why, why why... With the whole sea of unanswered questions, [SSJ]BuffaMax left for the better, not even calling out as he sighed when life was whisked away from him right before first light of morning as the warm sun rays hit his cold hard lifeless face...
