People Behind the Puppets Volume 17

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the 17th Volume of the People Behind the Puppets series. This week beautiful and strong Taropie will be my guest. She was kind enough to accept my interview and we had a nice chat. I hope you enjoy it! 😀 😀 😀

“Hi Taro, thank you very much for accepting my interview, let’s talk about your current situation before interview, so, how are you? What have you been doing lately in both real life and Puppet Guardian? 
Hey Rivers, first I’d like to say that I’m a huge fan of your blog! I’m doing alright, though I have just a couple of weeks left before university starts up again and I’ll once again be drowning in projects/studying. On PG, however, I’m just enjoying our current bridal event—really happy we finally got it, even though most of us have completely exhausted our dice/luck!

Do you remember when and how you first started playing Puppet Guardian? How did you find the Puppet Guardian website? 
I started in March 2009, just about a month after beta was released. I think I was researching 2d isometric art and gaming (no 3d games, they always give me headaches) and one of the results led me to the official blog run by Zorba, which detailed some screenshots. From there, I just completely fell in love with the unique and cute gameplay/items/graphics. 

What are your favorite items and weapons in Puppet Guardian? Can you tell us more about your goals and progress at the moment?
Tough question. I think I enjoy the vast array of clothing the most, though I also love the Paragon Axe, which is my primary goal at the moment—I’m roughly 2 Holy Axes away! 🙂

Can you tell us about your secret on earning gold coins?
Hahaha… If only I got 5g every time this question has been asked to me… The secret to being rich is to simply not spend much and when you do, do so wisely! Having a sense of restraint also helps.  😛 I also used to do Free video offers from RadiumOne, but sadly that’s no more due to others abusing it. 

As a player who played for a long time, what are your thoughts over changes or updates on Puppet Guardian over the years?
I would say that most of the updates over time have been great. Sure, they’ve tested our patience with some of the updates (most memorably waiting for T8/9!), but I think many of us have gotten used to the idea of waiting because slowly, but surely, we’ll have all of the same updates as JP version. 

Do you have any memories or players from the past which makes you smile when you remember them?
Yes, many! But a funny one that comes to mind is remembering how me and a group of other beginners were trying to “beat Tower 1” by defeating the giant beetle boss just like all the other games, right? So we rolled and rolled back to the boss square of Tower 1 despite continuously dying due to our ill-equipped clubs and wooden staffs. We had no idea why defeating the beetle only gave us intestines and nothing special or worthwhile. Did we have to keep doing this to get to the “next level”? xD

What does Puppet Guardian mean to you? How important is it for you and how can you describe it?
PG means a lot to me! It’s one of the only mmorpg games I’ve stuck with for so long because of the small-knit community and awesome friends made along the way. The distinctive game atmosphere and non-competitive nature of the game really appeals to me. There are no levels, no blood and guts, no grinding for levels; just a sophisticated sort of simplicity, if that makes any sense. I look forward to the continued growth and success of the game! 🙂

If you were without all your friends on Puppet Guardian, would you quit or would you make new friends? Why?
Of course it would be sad; I’ve made so many great friends over the years, but ultimately, I would stay and continue making new friends and just hope that they would come back to visit at least. 

As an experienced player, do you have any suggestions for new players?

Don’t be shy; we have a great community of dedicated and helpful players! If you have any questions, consult the Wikipedia pages and take some time to watch the tutorials. Most players would be more than helpful if you’re stuck, though! Also, kindness and politeness goes a long way. 

Thank you so much Taro for this interview, see you!“

Thank you so much for reading, i hope you liked it. Take care and see you until another volume!!! 😀 😀 😀

Did You Know… #12

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the 12th edition of the Did You Know series. This week Clown Clothes will be my feature. I hope you enjoy this! 😀 😀 😀

“A jester, joker, jokester, fool, wit-cracker, prankster or buffoon was a person employed to tell jokes and provide general entertainment, typically by a European monarch. Jesters are stereotypically thought to have worn brightly colored clothes and eccentric hats in a motley pattern. Their hats were especially distinctive; made of cloth, they were floppy with three points, each of which had a jingle bell at the end. The three points of the hat represent the donkey’s ears and tail worn by jesters in earlier times. Other things distinctive about the jester were his laughter and his mock sceptre, known as a bauble or marotte.”

Thank you so much for reading, take care and see you till another Did You Know entry! 😀 😀 😀

People Behind the Puppets Volume 16

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the 16th edition of People Behind the Puppets series. This week dear friend, elephant lover, chest addict also my co-worker Cloudstrife will be on spot. We talked about his Puppet Guardian life, moderating, current projects, his feelings, future plans and many more. Have fun while reading! 😀 😀 😀

“Do you remember when and how you first started playing Puppet Guardian? How did you find the Puppet Guardian website?
I joined Puppet Guardian in February of 2009. Back then, the game was very primitive and when I was presented with a dice-rolling game, I became fascinated; The storyline was amazing, the graphics were reminiscent of my favourite anime studio (Studio Ghibli), the music was innovative, and the gameplay was extremely unique and addictive. I think I was searching up “free multiplayer browser games” in Google and came across some webpages that re-directed me to the Puppet Guardian website.

You recently became a Moderator, like Wero and I. What things have changed since you became a moderator? What are your plans for the future as a moderator? 
Since I have become a moderator, my role in the game has changed. As a moderator, I shall ensure that players abide by the rules and conduct of the game because – through the years – it is this kindness and consideration towards others that have successfully defined the Puppet Guardian world we originally intended to create and live in.

What are your favorite items and weapons in Puppet Guardian? Can you tell us more about your goals and progress at the moment?
I don’t have a favourite item or weapon in the game. My goal at the moment is to learn more as a moderator and see to it that the game continues to grow. I guess I can say that it is progressing slowly. Despite there still being cases where we need to crack down on warning/punishing the use of multiple accounts (mules), I’ve seen a good number of new players. Introducing them to the basics of the game will be a key step in moving the game forward.

As a player who played for a long time, what are your thoughts over changes or updates on Puppet Guardian over the years?
Updates to Puppet Guardian have been reflective of its predecessor, the Japanese version of the game. I think for the most part, those updates work for the international version as well. So I’d have to thank our development team for their great work and their best ability in keeping up with the Japanese development team. It’s not easy!

Do you have any memories or players from the past which makes you smile when you remember them?
Yes. Too many to share though. I would like to give a shout out to Pattinson, Eric, Jaded, bumbleb, janime, Captivo, Ares, Morning, Lineage, ReiXVII, Hoyeen, Dale. If any of you are reading this, please drop by and say “Hi”. I would like to know how you are all doing!

What does Puppet Guardian mean to you? How important is it for you and how can you describe it?
Puppet Guardian to me is a virtual world that has become reality to me. In other words, Puppet Guardian is now part of my life and soul. But it is also like a mirror – a mirror realm, pardon the pun – which reflects what the real world we live in should be: magical, fantastical, harmonious. In this sense, its importance is immense for me. I really want others in our real world to escape into a different reality, a world where you can relax and have fun, and it will mean no worries for the rest of your days. ;] 

If you were without all your friends on Puppet Guardian, would you quit or would you make new friends? Why?
I would not quit Puppet Guardian without all my friends. I would make new friends. As Zorba best puts it, “Friendship matters and humility, and all the other values that have allowed people with different points of view, different personalities, different anything to get along throughout human history, and even see their way to become friends.”

As an experienced player, do you have any suggestions for new players?
Play the game and invite some friends. Add each other on friend’s list. Look at the wikia to set goals if you’re curious about any items you want to make. Be courteous to everyone and stay active in the community. Have fun! =)

Thank you so much Cloud for this interview, see you! 😀 😀 😀“

I hope you liked the interview, next week there will be another amazing puppet here with me answering my questions, please leave your feedback, if you let me know your ideas, suggestions and your comments, i can improve my articles. Thank you so much for reading, see you until next time, take care!!! 😀 😀 😀

Did You Know… #11

Hi Everyone,

Weekly Did You Know series will feature scythe this week, as you know last week there was penguins, since Bridal Event still happening, i want to feature an item which almost everyone working on at the moment. I hope you enjoy my research for this week, next week, there will be more summer theme subject for series since our summer fashion even is on way. Please don’t forget to check forum for further details, maybe it’s you who will win the Scratch Card items. 😀 😀 😀

“A scythe is an agricultural hand tool for mowing grass, or reaping crops. It was largely replaced by horse-drawn and then tractor machinery, but is still used in some areas of Europe and Asia.

The scythe also plays an important traditional role, often appearing as weapons in the hands of mythical beings such as Cronus, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, specifically, Grim Reaper (Death). This stems mainly from the Christian Biblical belief of death as a “harvester of souls”.”

I hope you enjoyed this week’s presentation for Did You Know series, i will be here with new topics next week, unti then, take care and see you!!! 😀 😀 😀

Wanna meet Shasura army again? ;D

Hi Everyone!

Check the picture below which i took today on Japanese Puppet Guardian, but aren’t you curious how i got that picture? And even that picture is taken on Tower IX, ok let me tell you 😀

As you read here before, Japanese Puppet Guardian now has a brand new tower, it’s entrance in the end of the Tower X, some people call it second level of Tower X, but i love to calling it tower XIII anyway.

With this release of this brand new tower, there were also new items released same time and one of the items is “White Dice”. White Dice can be used to roll backwards on map, this may sound weird to you, you may tell, why would i ever wanna use it? Here is the reason: as you know you can enter Tower IX from mirrors from Tower VIII, as many of you know, before first mirror on Tower IX, there are also spots, but we were not able to reach them, until today.

With this release of White Dice, now you can roll backwards and enter “Ruined Spots of Tower IX”, you will be able to find  Army of Shasura (!). But there are some bad news, they are as strong as they were on Final Battle fights, but also there are some amazing drops from those army you can get.

By killing those army on ruined spots, you can get Illusion Fragment, Illusion Ore, Crystal, Thunder Crystal, Sapphire Fragment, Tourmaline Fragment or Diamond Fragment.  Thanks to close friend (Also my Co-worker) Wero, we took a screenshot for you on our visit to ruined spots, but unfortunately after 2 minutes of our visit, we ended up on lobby, i hope you enjoy the picture we took for you, take care and see you until the next post!!! 😀 😀 😀
