Alright so when I heard this baby was coming out I immediately got super duper excited.  It’s been 4 months since I last played HKO and I didn’t jump into ID so I thought I would play this one.

Although it did have the same glitches (and then some) as ID it was pretty exciting to get to run through.  And since they are patching it right this second I am taking a break just to chat about it.

Unfortunately, when it comes to HKO I don’t take a lot of screen shots.  So I only have a few to share.

The first few hours were super fun.  There was maybe 5 or 6 people in the harbor, so it was very much unlike the stress test where it was full.  The name changes for monsters were fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the change up of quests.  Though the first downfall (they are fixing right now) is that you could not get noobie scissors from Kappi.  So no one in the game got to harvest anything past level 5.

This made a few quests non completable and most of us stuck between levels 12-15.  Only my pal Akimoto is the highest level of all of us, like 15.5 because he worked very hard on leveling skills (no matter how long it took).  Our pick axes also stopped at level 4 and the highest level skill I had in mining was 7.  Kinda sad you can’t buy or make higher level tools this time around.

There were a few glitches with infinite money, which we notified the GMs on and thank goodness this version is being wiped because they also didn’t mind us exploiting that glitch.  I think the entire 25 people playing on the server now use this (also will be gone after the patch).

So after the quest line was broken most everyone has been leveling any trade skill they can.  Akimoto and I also decided to play with Trex, but because he kept giving us “O-chans box” and we couldn’t throw them away we gave up.  GM_Kitolo did delete them for me.

Also one of the funest parts of the game so far was seeing GM_Calealan in there, my favorite GM from the old game :).  Although we may have to talk since I found out he gave someone a lvl 5 pick axe!  naughty!

Besides that I decorated my farm no less then 10 minutes before it closed (they didn’t give much of a warning before server shut down)  so here is GM_Kitolo visiting to see before the server shut down, and I’m happy I managed to finish it, so I’m bragging.

So glad the patch will be finished soon and I can continue on the quest line.  Kinda sad the clothes are awful, one glitches nekkid, and the content seems so much smaller than happy hearts.

The new farms look amazing, can’t wait to use them.
