Player Interview: MaxSkull the New Guy

Hello MaxSkull, what can you tell us about yourself? 

My main character is MaxSkull, Glaphan server. I’m 40 years old, been playing for about 7 months. My hobbies are music, games, electronics, and wrenching on old cars and show trucks.

 

How's the help you had received in game or on the forums so far?

In game help has been great. Everyone has been very helpful, I have only been sent on one wild goose chase, which thankfully I figured it out before I got too far into it.

Do you think you could keep playing this game even though you are new?

Yeah I’d keep playing because I’m bull-headed and like a challenge and to stumble around till I figure it out for myself….if not then I’ll ask for help.

How did you hear about Flyff?

Had a classmate in college that got me hooked.

What features of this game brought you to it?

It’s simplicity….I looked at playing WOW and that game just has way too many controls and choices and just too much….remember I’m old and simple is better to start off with

What job do you want to be and why?

So far I like the blade and the Billposter because of the up-close fighting.

Do you intend to use the forums outside of the merchant related sections?

I’m just now getting into the forums. I wanted to get comfortable with the game before I got too distracted with anything else.

Have you made any friends?

Tons of friendly people in this game and I have accepted a lot of friend requests but sadly I have deleted a couple because they were just users that wanted free stuff……sorry if I have to work for it, so do they!

Have you read the guides on the forums or have you asked for information from people in game?

I’m somewhat of a stickler for “rules” or “guide lines”, but sometimes you gotta throw caution to the wind and just go balls in and have fun! So yes I did read some of the guides, but not all of them.

Are you satisfied with that information?

So far the guides have helped but I like to find stuff out the hard way……makes you learn better.

Have you joined a Guild?

Yes, I was invited into NooBTroupe……..WHATS UP…….Brothers and Sisters =p !

What aspects of the game will keep you playing?

The best aspect that like is that you can go out on your own or you can go out in a party or go into the tower or the different dungeons.

Have you made any mistakes when first starting out?

My dumbest mistake was when I was in my first party to get plvled. I just heard somebody say go….so I jumped in and 1 hit later I was laying on the tower floor stone cold dead! D: Now I ask before I jump in.

How did you choose which server to play on?

I think I have a lvl 5 character on the ClockWorks server, but my classmate got me on Glaphan server and the rest has been a blast. A lot of really cool people.

What do you feel about the free for all arena as a new player?

I like the arena, until somebody takes it personal and ruins the whole party for everybody. It’s a great place to unwind after a hard day of grinding, or if you want to try out your new gear and find out if you have it set up right. The first time I went into the arena I got my butt handed to me about 100 times but I got that never say quit attitude and just kept going back till they gave up or I just stayed dead on the arena floor. It’s a cool place to socialize also, you can meet people that you see out grinding and talk to them about their equips and find out where you messed yours up at.

How much trouble did you have finding necessities such as the Food vendor, the General Vendor, and being able to buy arrows?

I found it very easy to find the stuff that I need to survive in the game. Things are laid out fairly well and you can always ask somebody where things are. You might need to add these kinds of assists in the outer laying continents; it would be a little more convenient to nave a bank and mail boxes on Rhisis or Shaduwar or even in Darkon 3.

How important is flying to you?

Flying beats walking or running any day……I’m lazy and always in a hurry.

Do you like PVP or PVE?

Like them both, but haven’t really got into the pvp yet.

Do you play with IRL friends?

Heck yeah……my classmate got me hooked and I consider everyone in my guild a friend cause there always there if I need a hand and hopefully I can return the favor to them or to new recruits.

Do you use Ventrilo?

Yes I use vent. It’s really cool, who knew that I’d be talking to people all over the world live via the internet let alone in a game.

If you could change one thing concerning the game play, what would you change? 

First thing that I would ask to change is the lvl 65-100 mobs be made more plentiful and the re-spawns a little faster. Also more blink wing spots throughout the game would be really cool.

Would you work your way by grinding or getting power leveled?

I think I got my first 20 lvls from plvls on MaxSkull and the rest we gotten the hard way……..the dreaded solo grind. But I did get to know the game a little better so I guess it was a good thing.

How do you like the Flyff community so far?

The Flyff community has been great……my only [I Have a Potty Mouth] is the penya spammers that are hanging out in Flaris and Darkon, selling their web sites, Can we just get rid of them…….PLEASE????

Which event has been your favorite so far?

It’s a toss-up between the 3x and the 120 master events. They both are great opportunities to get lvls.

Any last words?

Again thanks for picking me to do this.....it was a BLAST!
