244 Version 0.24 Update and Strategy Guide Pos (2/2)

'Dungeon' had numerous updates. Winterfell, a Dungeon that seemed out of reach to gamers, is now opened for exploration.

That is correct, we can enter Winterfell via the Teleport Portal!

Before entering Winterfell, there are a few disclaimers:

1. Entering Winterfell requires Magic Stones unless you are a member of the Eternal Kingdom Adventurer's Guild. The joining fee is ten silver coins. Since we don't have Magic Stones, we can only pay the ten silver coins.

2. Shopping in Winterfell requires Magic Stones. The game coins used by the gamers cannot be used.

3. Don't think that Magic Stones are more important than game coins. According to my experience, buying equipment in Winterfell using Magic Stones isn't as good as using Reputation Points and game coins to purchase equipment in Eternal Kingdom. Moreover, there isn't much of a quality difference.

4. Gamers have to abide by the laws. That includes not killing, robbing, or committing arson. However, we aren't prohibited from scolding with vulgarities. That is good.

The Magic Stone system is an important part of the new currency system. It's likely to be the symbol of rich gamers. From the gaming trends, many gamers will try to earn Magic Stones from NPCs. Furthermore, Magic Stones are the only currency for the Guild gameplay.

Next, the types of gameplay in Winterfell.

The game officials didn't introduce the types of gameplay in Winterfell. I don't think they are lazy, as there are simply too many types of gameplay for them to start.

From my experience, if I didn't know that this was a game, I would mistake it for a real otherworld.

That's because the behavior of the NPCs is too realistic. Though gamers are unable to commit crimes in Winterfell, we can freely interact with the NPCs, which don't conform to any templates. They are like a unique individual in the real world. When you try to talk to them, they will be reluctant to speak. Even if they speak to you, they won't be enthusiastic. If you say strange things or scold them, they will bear a grudge against you.

Besides the interactivity with the NPCs, there are other types of gameplay.

You can visit a restaurant to have a meal or go to the shops to buy things. You can even enjoy various services like tattooing, perming of hair, and massage. You only need to pay using Magic Stones.

Basically, you can do anything in Winterfell the same way you can do in the real world. This is the awesome part of this game. This game is like a second life.

I will discuss the concern of all gamers—earning Magic Stones!

The Eternal Kingdom Adventurer's Guild is still in the design stage. A lot of veteran gamers have posted their designs and ideas. We also received missions to visit the actual site to take physical measurements.

Today, we went to the old district and met Marco Polo. He gained the support of the NPCs in the old district. Our Guild location and the shop front were provided by the NPCs. The more knowledge you have, the more respect you will gain from these NPCs.

The creatures outside the old district are different, they will capture you instead! Please remember this!

Since the Eternal Kingdom Adventurer's Guild isn't completed, depending on the Adventurer's Guild to earn money isn't possible. However, there are plenty of chances to work in Winterfell.

There are so many professions available. There must be one that suits us, for example, the carrying of bricks!

I'm recommending a few good construction sites that we have researched. The benefits are pretty good:

(Map1) (Map2) (Map3)

Or you can go to other places to do odd jobs or become apprentices. But these jobs provide very few Magic Stones, like tens of Magic Stones per month. That is even less than a hundred Magic Stones. Carrying bricks will let you earn ten Magic Stones per day.

To the commoners, carrying bricks is the most profitable job. That's the same as reality!

Being an apprentice will allow you to learn a life skill like Blacksmithing and Carpentry.

To learn more skills, I found an Alchemy Shop to become an apprentice. I worked five hours daily without a salary, but I learned skills. I think I didn't make a loss—in reality, I'm being conned!

Lousy game producer! You haven't learned anything. You came up with these devious gimmicks to ensnare the gamers.

Forget it. This is only a game. It's not worth getting angry.

As time is limited, there are many things that we are unable to experience. I will systematically go through the things to note in Winterfell:

1. Speaking nonsense isn't unlawful but will invite beatings. Don't spread rumors as it's against the law. A gamer tried, and his account was frozen for a few hours.

2. Don't eat without paying or steal other patrons' food. This is against the law. Your account will be frozen for a few hours.

3. Don't try multi-level marketing on the NPCs. Your account will be frozen.

4. We haven't tried swindling, but I suggest not to because the NPCs are very realistic. Their lives are pretty hard, so I cannot bear to swindle them.

5. Exhibit a good attitude when applying for jobs, just like in real life. The chance of succeeding will be higher.

6. If you do away with your salary, the chance of success is 90%.

7. Play the game like how you live in the real world.

8. I will leave it blank. I will add once I think of it (Manual Comedy)

The Third Beta Testing is starting soon, and many gamers will log into 'Dungeon'. Opening up Winterfell at this critical juncture is for the First Beta and Second Beta gamers to stress test the environment and gameplay. If you discover good types of gameplay, please post them on the discussion forum for everyone to discuss.

I hope the Third Beta Test will commence soon. I'm doing an advertisement:

The Pioneer Alliance Guild is the only Guild for First Beta Gamers. We have the only Dark Rider, the rich Arthur, and the best gaming instructions and Strategy Guides. Our feet-scratching receptionist, Sylvanas, will personally welcome you. We have the most luxurious Guild land (in the process of excavation), the most advanced technology with the help of Hemp Rope Technology (the most powerful Sacred Knight), and the highest number of rich gamers!

We are providing more benefits in the future. What are you waiting for? Join us quickly!

Looking forward to the completion of the Eternal Kingdom Adventurer's Guild. I cannot wait to become an adventurer! I will post the Strategy Guide at the earliest opportunity. Look out for my post!

Let me challenge the Devil King!

That's all, folks. I'm going to play the game.”
