From March 12th to March 31st, users will be able to submit entries for the "Tailoring the Perfect Cloak" event. You can simply cut out some cloth in the shape of a cloak and stitch on some emblems or you can go all out and knit the cloak from scratch. The cloak will have to be based off of a real in game cloak. Also, keep in mind that the cloak MUST BE REAL and it has to be big enough for you to wear. That's right! You will have to submit a photo of you wearing the cloak so that we know that it is real. What will be the prizes at stake for this event? You can pick one of the awesome cloaks listed below in the prize section. There will be a maximum of 5 winners for this event!

What: Tailoring the Perfect Cloak Event
When: 3/12/11 - 3/31/11

SNS Events, Blog for Rewards, and more events!

2011-01-07T19:31:00.000-08:00

Hey Flyffers,

This is a special Flyff blog update filled with special events for next week. We sincerely apologize for the lack of updates leading up to the release of version 16. However, there will be additional efforts put into maintaining and updating the blog more frequently.

Blog For Rewards (1/7/11)

Featured Blog: My Journey Through Flyff

You can check out the blog here

Mike has been blogging about Flyff for a while now and he posts about interesting events that are currently going on and miscellaneous fun activities such as his character damage test. It was pretty enlightening to read his article entitled "Gianting....Is it still worth it?", as he addresses the updates that we have recently put into the game and how it causes a phenomena of players switching from gianting to farming dungeons and premium areas to make money. How do players feel about this? Do you guys think that gianting is an activity that has been thrown away due to the newmoney making opportunities that come with each update? Does anyone still participate in "gianting"? Do you guys think that less competition for giants is better? Is anyone actually benefiting from the increased prices of drops from giants? Let me know in the comment section below!

Thank you Mike for blogging about Flyff. The prize for this featured blog will be:

(1) Big Red Pick-up Pet

Thank you for your participation and congratulations again! We will be contacting you shortly or you can claim your prize by providing us with your character name and server in the comments section below.

Player Interview: MaxSkull the New Guy

2010-08-17T17:51:00.000-07:00

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!

Game Master Interview: Raizei

2010-07-30T19:01:00.000-07:00

Tell us something about yourself, like how old are you?

I am 23 years old, probably the 2^nd or 3^rd youngest in the company :).

Well what CAN you tell us about yourself?

Well, I certainly love video games and everything that is related to video games. It’s one of the main reasons I became a GM. Working in the video game industry has always been a part of my dream.

What does a typical GM day for you look like?
A typical day for me is solving problems for many players through emails. I would rather do it personally in game but there are always too many emails.

What do you like about being a GM and how long have you done it for?
I’ve been a GM for almost a year now and I really love the job. What I like about being a GM is being able to help users with any problems they have. It is the most rewarding part to see our players smile after I’ve helped them with their issue(s).

If you could be any Pokemon which would you be and why?

Hands down, I would have to choose Ludicolo. This pokemon is carefree, loves music, and loves to PARTY!

If you could be any flavor of flying sandwich which would you be and why?

I would have to choose a Tuna Sub with extra jalapenos from Subway. Not only would it be awesome to ride a clock bike sized Tuna Sub with jalapenos falling from the end of the sandwich, it is my favorite sandwich to get at Subway’s and it is very delicious.

What is your favorite part about working with the other GMs?

I think my favorite part is that we all have really good chemistry. We work so well together and they all have such a great sense of humor. We like to joke around and just have fun. They are simply the best!

Do you ever take GM trips/parties/events together?

Occasionally, if any of us are free on the weekends, I like to call them up to see if they are free to hang out. I love to hang out and enjoy the company of good friends. The last major event that we had done together was the Flyff 15 challenge in honor of version 15. The Flyff 15 challenge was to choose any food or drink and eat/drink 15 of the same thing. It was definitely a challenge for everyone haha!

Which server did you have the most fun on?

I don’t really have a particular server that I like to hang out on. I like to have a great time on each server whenever I get the chance to log in and hang out with the players.

Why do you help TurBo steal all the hamsters?

TurBo only has so many pockets lol! Besides, I like the idea of the hamsters getting some recreation time since they are overworked.

Have you ever played Flyff before actually becoming a GM?

I’ve actually played Flyff before a long time ago when one of my friends told me about it. I remember logging into the game and feeling overwhelmed by the private shops, spamming, and shouts. I didn’t get too far and I rage-quit. LOL

Where did your GM name come from? Or was it just given to you?

I actually had a pretty tough time picking a name. I wanted a name that was original and sounded cool. After using about 10 name generators, I mashed up 3 names that I saw and liked. I’m very happy with my GM name!

What's the funniest thing the GM's have done to you or another GM in the office or outside of it?

The funniest thing that has happened in the office was when I accidently shot a CM from another team with one of my many Nerf guns. I was sitting on my chair and I had my gun pointed behind me (loaded) while looking at my computer monitors. Polynikes told me to just shoot the gun and I did just that. A second after I shot the gun, I heard a big “OWWW!!!” from across the office. I hit the CM on the back of the head. I felt really embarrassed and apologized to the CM. The CM was fine and even laughed about it. It was surely embarrassing but the other employees thought it was really funny.

What is your Favorite event since you joined the GM crew??

I don’t really have a specific event that I like. I like any events that require our presence because we get to hang out with players, talk, and just have fun!

Do you wear as fancy suits in real life as you do in game?

Not as fancy but I like to dress nice in certain occasions. Other than that I like to wear shirts with tuxedo or formal designs. It’s dressing comfortable and keeping it classy at the same time.

What are your thoughts about giving GMs more power?

More of something isn’t always as good. As long as I have the power to help users with anything they need, I don’t need anything else :).

What are you thoughts about giving the community more sayings in updates, so that they can be satisfied on a greater scale?

I believe that our users should have a bit more of say in terms of what needs to be updated or fixed. I also truly believe that some of our users also have great suggestions and great ideas that will help improve the experience players get when playing Flyff.

Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they?

[I Have a Potty Mouth]

Have you ever had the compulsion, and followed through with it to make a low level nub and be a noobish troll just for fun?

I don’t need to create a low level character to be a noobish troll LOL.

What is the most annoying thing players have done in the game?

The most annoying thing some players have done is ask me if I am a GM, say how cool it is, and then ask me for penya. O_O

You have a nice smiley Bear suit in the forum Where did you get it?

It’s actually a bear from the cartoon Harvey Birdman. The bear shows up at random times, starts clapping its paws, and has a big smile. Novalis created my sig for me and I love it.

Did you sign up to answer random questions from players or did you get dragged into this by MaxPang?

I was dragged into this kicking and screaming LOL.

Moderator Interview: Pastry

2010-05-30T21:03:00.000-07:00

Could you briefly introduce yourself?

I'm Tom and I play Pastry, a 115-M Ringmaster on the Mushpoie server.

I understand you are a Flyff moderator. How did you like the game before becoming moderator and how do you like it now?

I was very content playing as a non-mod for quite some time and although being a mod made me somewhat more well known in game and on the forums it didn't change my game play experience too much. The title itself doesn't change anything for me in game and too few players use the forums for it to change my experience in that respect.

How does it feel being able to help supervise the Flyff forums?

It was a little daunting at first but being able to deal with the problems as they arise rather reporting and waiting is definitely a nice perk.

Why does Flyff need a forum moderator?
Why it needs moderators I couldn't say, but I do think the forums benefit from having players with the ability to remove inappropriate and out of place content as well as people being able to pass messages to and from the Game Masters; this helps when they're too busy. For example, when they are running big events and if the servers go down, which albeit, is much scarcer lately.

How long have you been a “mod” for?
Over a year with about a month or two break. I ended up a mod in march? last year I think.

How do you choose moderators for such a large forum?
Well some our priorities overlap when choosing but personally my recommendations are people who I think are helpful, have strong game knowledge, would be useful to a section that is under-modded, have a good understanding of the rules, and quite importantly, who wouldn't go mad with the power.

Are moderators required to give reports?
There is no fixed structure for the reports but yes, every week we have a mod meeting and the first order of business is usually to discuss any issues from the past week. Serious issues will usually have been discussed with the Community Manager whenever they arise but the more minor ones are also discussed here just as a heads up to everyone else on the team.

Do the other players know you’re a moderator? How do they react to your presence?
Some do and some don't as, like I said, a good portion of the players don't use the forums; the people who don't use the forums a great deal quite often confuse mods with GM's. I try to draw the distinction quickly to avoid the next most common question, "Do you get free items and/or Penya??"

What would you say are the pros/cons of being a moderator?
The Pro's for me would really be that people (I hope) tend to trust me a bit more than the average forum-er so my advice doesn't fall on deaf ears as often. Additionally, people will pm me asking for help or just with general questions.

The Con's are that not everyone likes a moderator. We're in a position that is very open to criticism and we're seen just as often as forum suck-ups as we are forum helpers.

Well I believe that Moderators have a lot of work indeed, but no one really knows for sure, so has it been hard work so far? Do you get frustrated sometimes?
Yeah I get frustrated sometimes but I think I'm reasonably laid back, so the frustrations don't really get to me. Logging into a section like general and seeing a load of red threads makes browsing annoying, so the frustrations really drive you to do the job sometimes.

Have you ever suggested something to the Flyff Developers that is now released to the public?
I'm not sure if it counts since it's not released to the public yet, but I designed a masquerpet called "The Grey Earl" for the "Design a masquerpet contest" we had on the forums. Mine was one of the winners that will be implemented into the game for
events and raids.

How do you imagine Flyff 1 years from now?
Well I'm really not sure what it would be like, but I'd personally like more and different PvP additions. Objective based PvP systems, separate areas for guild wars with more elaborate settings would be pretty cool. Other than that for Ringmasters to
inherit the Earth.

What is your favorite thing about Flyff?
As cliche' as it'll sound, the friends I've made. I don't think I'd have played for that long on this game, or would on any other mmorpg had I not made good friends - that's really the whole point of a multiplayer game for me.

What sparked your interest in Flyff?
A friend named Ana told me to download it a few years ago, so I played with her a bit. Although in the end as I met more people, I played more and I'm still on it long after she left the game.

How was the game at first sight? Did someone help you out to understand this game?
Yes, Ana gave me a nice tutorial just outside of Flarine with a run down on the classes and different hot keys. It was a lot more confusing back then since that was before the new player tutorial and such had been re-done to be more user friendly.

Describe a typical day.
Well when I go on the forums I usually deal with the reports I see while I browse; these are usually ones in general, the Mushpoie Sun, Off-topic and class sections. After that I'll check the list of open reports to see what else does or doesn't need attending too.

When I get the chance to go on Flyff, which isn't as often these days, I usually have a several PM windows open where I'm talking to people. My actual activity varies on the day. I really enjoyed the new dungeons and tower siege as well as main siege although
my character isn't really suited for that. I manage to survive for quite a while with less than half the hp most people have since I'm using a leveling build; I usually have around 70-80k but most people assume since I'm an RM that I'm full STA and have HP into the 120-130s so I can go about my holycrossing business in peace.

What is your favorite thing about moderating?
Again it's really just being in an elevated position to help people, as well as having the power to deal with problems as they happen rather than watching them get out of control.

How much time do you spend on Flyff each day?
A couple of hours a day if I have the time at least, I don't play it everyday at the moment though.

What are your favorite forum threads?
TheDarkPawn's record thread in the Mushpoie Sun has always been very well organized and maintained. It really attracts people to the section and plenty of people have been setting and breaking records since he made it.

I had a lot of fun with the "Locomochi hoax" thread which was completely not my idea.

In your opinion, what, ideally, is the role of a forum like ours?
It's a place to share knowledge and information. My favourite people on the forums are usually the eccentrics and the very knowledgeable. People like sarisairis, herki, isingh, Filiachan etc who really know what's what in the game and definitely aren't shy about telling people what they know on the forums.

It's really also a place to enjoy yourself and, (provided they're sticking to the rules), the zany people like cowardspunks really make my day.

What are your future goals on Flyff and how would you like to improve the game?
Getting to Hero is really the main one. It seems like everyone's done it but me but someday hopefully. For Improvements, as I said earlier, improved PvP advents would be the best thing in my opinion. Some people are so well geared and so experienced they can siege with their eyes closed so something a bit more challenging would provide some players with a lot more to do and a lot of fun.

What advice can you give too any player that would like to become a "mod" on Flyff?
Don't try and force it just because you want the position. If you are a knowledgeable and helpful person we'll more than likely pick up on that, but there's no shame in just being a respected and trusted forum-er. You don't need to be a mod just to help out.

Do you tell people in real life that you are a moderator for Flyff? Is it hard to explain your profession to people in real life?
A few IRL friends know and they understand what I'd be doing pretty well since they use other forums, but "I'm an internet forum moderator" doesn't often come up in conversation.

Do you look up too anybody on Flyff? Any shout outs?
I have big respect for the knowledgeable people I listed earlier. I have a lot of very good friends in the game though and it'd take up way too much space to list them here but they should know who they are. Since I use too many words as it is, Ill leave it at that.

What do you think of the whole new version on Flyff?
I like it, aesthetically each version is better than the last, as it should be I guess. Game play wise it's new content which is always good. The lower level dungeons are really nice although the new HERO dungeon was a let down for me. There's not really a
point in doing it unless you're a ranger or a knight since otherwise the rewards aren't good enough.

And last but not least, what advice can you give to moderators/admins of forums?
Definitely don't accept the position unless you're really ready. I made that mistake by becoming a moderator only a month after coming to the forums and it was a pretty daunting experience but I'd like to think I've become at least a half decent moderator now. The bottom line is, if you're really mod material, the community manager and the other mods won't think less of you for waiting for a while and when you're ready to take on the position the chances are they won't mind you asking them to take them up on their offer later down the line.

Player Interview: TGE & Pudding

2010-05-19T12:00:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys! I was able to grab an awesome interview with TGE & Pudding. Please check it out below.

Briefly introduce yourself TGE & Pudding! Who are you? And what can you tell us about yourselves?

I'm Tom, but you can call me Ping, TGE, THEGREATESTEVER - whatever you want! I'm the co-creator of the "PUDDING and THEGREATESTEVER" FlyFF machinima series and am currently working on our team's newest, biggest machinima project, "Legends of Roika: Dawn of the Phoenix!" Um, I love to do video editing and animation. My favorite color is red. And.... I'm excited to get deeper into the story of LoR!

And I’m Kristen also known as PUDDING, Mystic, or MysticMoon. I helped Tom create the original series. I’m pretty much his cheerleader. Go Tom GO!~ While he makes all the awesome videos, I’m the one trying to get it out there for others to see. I guess you could say I’m the voice of the series since I talk to most of our contacts and the fans. But now we have a production team to help us out with all of that! I like sweets, cute things, and cats!

Why are you called Pudding? Why are you called TheGreatestEver? Where did these nicknames originate from?

The PUDDING and THEGREATESTEVER names originated from my entry to the FlyFF Halloween contest in 2007. We needed a name to describe somebody who was a cocky, full-of-himself loser, and thus THEGREATESTEVER was born! PUDDING was actually a name I called Kristen back in the day, which came from her love of pudding and jello pudding pops! It also fit nicely with the character being all cute and stuff.

How long have you been playing Flyff for?

We started playing back in June of '07. We were looking for a fun game that we could play together and just happened to see an ad for FlyFF on a random gaming website. We played Flyff for a long time, eventually getting some of our friends addicted to it *cough* Matt aka the voice of LegendaryLover XD. We don't play that much anymore, though. We're too busy with our projects and whatnot. If you see us in-game, it's usually because we're doing some filming!

What are your favorite things about Flyff?

Tom - My favorite things about FlyFF would have to be the music and weapons. I fell in love with the game when I heard the battle theme of Flaris when I first started playing. It was awesome! And I love the weapon art of FlyFF. My favorite is the Ivillines Big Sword - it looks evil >:D

Kristen - Aibatts and lollipops! And the really cute cs clothes and pets. I also like the fact that you can pretty much go anywhere in the game. By this I mean the ability to fly, jump, and the use of the wasd keys. This really helps when you are trying to make a machinima. Sadly there are a lot of mmorpgs out there where you cant even move your character other than by using your mouse. It may seem insignificant to others, but it really makes a big difference.

What inspired you guys to create MysticalPing Productions?

When we finished the "PUDDING and THEGREATESTEVER" series, we wanted to create a more official identity for our next projects. We couldn't think of anything when it came to a name for our group, so we just named it after my first character in FlyFF, MysticalPing. We invited some people to join the group that had helped us in the past. Our hopes was that if we could get more people to help us, our projects will finish faster and be higher quality!

What are your responsibilities in the team?

Tom - Pretty much everything lol. I do the scripting, filming, editing, 3d animation, voicing, etc.. I also create the MBC News episodes that launch whenever a new LoR episode is released. It's all very... time consuming XD

Kristen - I do the voice of PUDDING! I also manage our forums and take care of things over on the official FlyFF forums! I have various projects that I'll be releasing soon, too. But I don't want to reveal all that yet! I'm sort of the project overseer and keep tabs on everybody, EVEN YOU! lol

What sparked your interest in making a project that involved Flyff?

We love doing video projects and thought why not do something for the game we play? It's really broadened our talents in the field as well.

What is Legends of Roika: Dawn of the Phoenix? Who came up with the idea behind this project?

It's basically a rework of the "PUDDING and THEGREATESTEVER" series. We thought that since we improved in our video skills that we could create a bigger, better "PUDDING and THEGREATESTEVER!" And since we also partnered with Machinima.com to showcase our work, we wanted to create something that non-FlyFF players could watch and (hopefully) relate! We also wanted to create something more professional than anything we've created so far.

The name also implies that there could be future series to the Legends of Roika story. For example, Legends of Roika: (insert title for series here)! We did this so that we could add to the story eventually, while at the same time being a totally different series.

Did your group feel pressure about making the first episode successful?

Well not really haha. We were more or less excited to see what people thought of the first episode! If there's any kind of pressure, it's usually the wait for Machinima.com to release our episodes. We want to make sure we release the MBC News announcement asap whenever we see the LoR episode on Machinima's youtube.

Were there any challenges in the production of this project?

In the beginning of the project, the main challenge was limiting the story to what I was capable of doing in 3d and through in-game filming. There were also issues with trying to get things done in a timely fashion. There's a lot of time and work spent into each episode, more than 100 hours I'd say! And that's pretty tough to fit into everyone's lives when they've got school, work and other things going on. Other than that, there was the challenge of making scripts/episodes last a certain length. That's no-longer an issue now, though. The issue these days is trying to get things done while trying to keep to our planned 2 week release schedule!

Describe a Typical day.

Tom - If I'm not working at my job, then I'm working on the project. I'd say an average of 3-6 hours a day is spent on the project for me. If I'm rendering something, or if it's 12am, I usually take a break and watch anime or play a game with Kristen!

Kristen - I work semi full time. On my days off I poke around on the interwebs and work on various aspects of the project. Most of my time is spent on our forums moderating and what not. When I’m not working on the project, I enjoy playing games with Tom, hanging out with my cat Mystic, and watching anime!

Are there any other members in MysticalPing Productions that you would like to mention?

We have a handful of awesome people on our team! Everyone collaborates on different areas of the project, but we more or less have certain responsibilities.

Matt (TickleMeMatt, LordBizkit) - Does the voice of LegendaryLover as well as any other minor character in the scripts. He also has a marketing project that he just started that'll help promote the series and our production! Matt also helped create the skeleton of the story, so much of what you're going to see is based off of his awesome ideas!

Lauren (Kinneko) - Does the voice of Rain. She also created some story for the first few episodes! Lauren does character development for the series as well and has a ton of ideas just waiting to be put into video-form! She also helps manage our forums.

Anna (Tefira) - Helps edit the scripts so that they flow better. She also voices some future characters in the series!

meimei - Does the voice of CuteButt and edits the scripts too. She is also a voice director where she critiques the voices of the episodes as I create them. We then redo the voices to make it fit the scene better. Mei also takes care of things on FlyFFWorld by promoting us there! Mei helped setup our forum and installs new features for us! We turn to Mei when we want a new feature on our forums

blinkky - is our tech guy and the one hosting our forums! He is awesome!

Jesse (Jessymaru) - Does the voice of various characters, such as Shadyman. He helps promote the series through facebook and other forums sometimes, and also is a voice director.

Key200 - Helps moderate and promote our forum! He also does his own machinima projects.

Sal (Caelum)- Creates background music for the series. He is awesome!

Steven and Jeremy (rei0 and Ares) - Create music for the series as well. Their band, Blackout, is responsible for our current intro and outro songs for LoR! These guys are awesome! Aside from music, they also help with extra voices. You can find them on facebook, http://www.facebook.com/blackouttheband and myspace http://www.myspace.com/blackouttheband.

How was it to work with them?

Sometimes it's hard to get everyone on the same page, but that's expected when we all live in different areas of the world and can only communicate online! Overall, it's a great experience and we're glad to have them on board!

What are you currently working on? Are there any special projects that you would like to mention?

Tom - Currently, I'm working on re-rendering the original "PUDDING and THEGREATESTEVER" series, although I'm not sure if I should say exactly why yet . While doing that, I'm also working on episode 5 of LoR - 3d animations.

Kristen - Umm, I can’t really say right now. I want it to be a surprise!~

Do other players know who you are? Could you provide us with a URL to your projects?

Our guild on Kern server knows us. We have a full friend's list of fans in the game as well lol. Even some people in other games know us! It's crazy O_O.

You can find all our projects at:
http://www.youtube.com/theping781
http://www.mysticalpingproductions.com
http://www.facebook.com/mysticalpingproductions
http://www.twitter.com/legendsofroika

Any shout outs you would like to make?

Tom - Bruce Willis, you're my hero!
Kristen - Omg Tom… lol - I just want to thank all the GM’s (world wide :3) who support us and our project. You really help to inspire us to keep at it. Also, thanks to all of our fans that watch the series. It would be nothing without you guys.

Any last words?

Tom - BUCKLE UP HERE WE GO!!!!

Kristen - You don’t mess with… THE PUDDING! - Join our forum!!!!!

Game Master Interview: Another day in TurBo's Calendar

2010-05-10T15:11:00.000-07:00

Snagged an interview with one of Flyff's most talented GMs, TurBo!

Tell us something about yourself, like how old are you?

I am roughly 27 years old, younger or older depending on who you ask :)

Well what can you tell us about yourself?

I’m just a regular guy. I enjoy video games, browsing internet, and hanging out with friends outside of work. I also enjoy drawing, reading, cooking, and trolling internet forums during my alone time. (Just kidding on that last one, who does that? That’s just rude.)

Is being a Game Master a real, full time job?

Very much so! 8 hours of work a day on average, Monday through Friday. Just like any other regular job :)

How did you become a GM?

I found a job application on craigslist, filled it out, got interviewed, passed, and became a GM. It may be slightly different for other GM’s, but that was the general steps I personally took.

So what does being a GM involve? What does a typical GM day for you look like?

Usually answering massive amounts of customer support emails a day, this takes up 90% of our time. Then on the other 10% we create events and host them for players. It’s pretty fun when we actually do go in-game and interact with players. And in-between those 2, we have an assorted range of random issues to handle, it’s somewhat difficult to categorize them all. All I know is that my day passes by very very fast!

What are some special tasks that you do on the GM team?

I primarily work on account compromised cases. That’s the name we call issues where someone got their account accessed by someone else, and in most cases, had their items stolen or their characters deleted. When I work on these cases, sometimes I feel like I’m on an episode of CSI:FlyFF or something.

In addition to account compromised cases, I do a wide range of art related assets for US FlyFF. Most the time, it’s just the sales or event banners for our front page. Occasionally though, I’ll get to work on something bigger like an email blast poster, or a FlyFF comic. :3

Do you get many stupid emails/tickets?

I personally have not found any “Stupid” emails, but there are a lot of confused emails from players, due to the fact that a lot of our player base may not speak English as their primary language. I guess the only seemingly “stupid” email would be players trying to send us fake information trying to gain in-game advantage or items. This usually results them getting a permanent ban for providing intentional falsified information. It’s like trying to trick the police into giving you free stuff. Don’t do it :)

How many other GMs are there?

From what I heard, there used to be a GM for every server of FlyFF. But now, we primarily have 4 GM’s, and 1 CM (community manager). We’re a pretty tight knit group because of our size.

What is your opinion of FlyFF?

FlyFF (the game) itself is a bit outdated in comparison to the large amounts of newer MMORPG’s out there, but FlyFF’s community is one of the strongest I’ve personally ever experienced out of my entire MMORPG playing career. It sounds kind of cheesy, but the players you meet both in-game and on the forums almost feel like long lost family members. There is a lot of love for this game, and it really shows.

Flyff recently had a version update to V15. What are your opinions?

There was a lot of new content added with this update (most notable ones being the lower level instance dungeon The Wilds, and the Guild House), and a lot of players seem to enjoy it. However, with all the good things, there also came a flood of technical issues that needed to be addressed and fixed. It’s very fun to have new stuff to play with, but sucks when you can’t –actually- play it because you’re busy crashing from bugs or whatnot. Hopefully we’ll be able to iron out all the problems and have players sailing smoothly again as soon as possible.

Are there many female players in FlyFF?

There’s actually a surprising amount of female players in FlyFF. I’m not entirely sure why, but it’s possible due to the large bubbling community or just a multitude of dress up fashion items. Regardless, everyone is welcome whether you’re a dude or a girl.

How about non-English speaking players?

We also have a very wide range of global users, even though FlyFF is available in almost every region (China, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Europe... etc) Again, it is possible due to the fact that foreign communities have been established in the US FlyFF from so long ago, that the lineage of that establishment has continued to this day. We see players talking in different languages in-game all the time, it’s kinda cool actually.

Are there a lot of children playing the game?

Yes, but we have a pretty wide spectrum of player ages playing FlyFF. From as young as 7 years old to even parents or grandparents. It’s very heartwarming to see an entire family play together. I wish I had that as a kid ;_;

To wrap things up, do you have any tips or secrets for players?

I think at this point, due to the age of the game, the collective player base know more tips and tricks than a GM ever will. If I had to give one tip, it would be to make as many friends as you can. The more friends you know, the more help you will receive regarding everything in FlyFF. But please don’t share your account information with players you meet, this will land you in a bigger mess than you can ever imagine. If there was a single way to lose the game, sharing your account would be it.

Have fun folks, but please watch your safety first! ;)

Player Interview: Sieging with Dexion

2010-05-03T15:08:00.000-07:00

Grabbed an interview with one of Flyff's notorious guild siegers, Dexion!

First, please introduce yourself quickly.

My name is Josh and I'm the leader of the Ridicule guild on Kern.

Where does your guild name Ridicule originate from?

The face. /ridicule

Why are you known for siege?

I am the MVP of 5 servers: Aibatt, Mushpoie, Mia, Kern, and Glaphan

How many times have you won in siege?

I have sieged for 4 years and have only lost 9 times.

Any players or guilds worth mentioning?

Mundus on Mushpoie has been MVPing mostly every week since V7. He has had the most individual points. He doesn't die at all because he swaps 9 items in between each ASAL(9 items that throw his HP above damage limits), then he switches 9 items that allows him to one hit anyone. Same thing for Tsuchii, they just can't be killed at the moment.

Insanity on MIA, he plays very defensively. He uses a strategy where he won't stay visible for more than one kill(dark illusion). It allows him to stay alive all siege. No one knows where he is during siege when he uses the dark illusion skill.

LordWayne on Aibatt, he is the same as Mundus.

What kind of BP build would you suggest for siege?

Full STA, but it is important to consider building your character to kill what you need to kill. Blades usually just cap their damage so they can farm while being able to tank. BPs usually cap their ASAL and HP in siege. It is just about knowing everyone's HP/Damage and building your character to take advantage of it.

Any tips for other players on winning guild siege?

Don't play for yourself. Make smart kills that will help your guild or benefit another person. An example would be me killing full STR BPs that are able to one hit our guildies. My guild's BPs would kill characters that I can't one hit with my jester.

Any shout outs you'd like to make?

Oh, hi mom.

Any last words?

I guess, just have fun lol cause tbh people take it too seriously and they forget the game aspect of Flyff.
