Hello Hello!

Tonight will be the usual maintenance of the week.

You can expect server downtime from 11pm PDT - 2am PDT

It also will be a patch tonight, not only a server restart.

This week's maintenance question is...

If you had unlimited funds that could ONLY be used in a humanitarian way, what would you choose to do with it?

    First non-human reply!

    The latest manual patch appears to be: Patch 747-748 13.8MB (14491174 bytes)
    That's average-sized.

    This patch hasn't been officially listed yet.

    You will be the first to know if that happens.

    >MFW Unlimited cash
    >Inflation

    Because even if I gave it away, it would eventually be used elsewhere as it changes hands, wouldn't it?
    Keeping it to in-game matters, I'd buy up many different essential items (orbs, tokens, mirages, shards ect) and hold fun contests or occasional give-aways with such as rewards (and even those who participated would get something out of it).

    Hmmm... I could write an essay, but I'm lazy XD

    Okay, I un-laziafied myself.
    If I had unlimited money to only go to humanitarian uses I would first:
    (before I start this, just a side note that this is just a basically outline, of course it needs proper research and planning, but this is just so you can get an idea)

    -First I would remove all forms of government from every country and put in place a modified version of democracy, where each community would elect their own 'community leader' and then those community leaders would then compete with each other for regional leader, after the leader of the region is decided then it would go into a state level then into a country level, so the leaders have truly been voted in by the people, instead of being placed in parliament for us to vote on, which really isn't the people choosing their leader at all because they only have a limited choice.
    -I would remove all poverty and hunger, making every person equal.
    -Big corporations would be shut down and smaller family businesses would be highly encouraged, local produce, shops, hand made and original work would become the normal with the removal of huge department stores and mass production, allowing communities to bloom and become unique instead of just being slaves to the mass production industries.
    -Health care would be free for all, all around the world along with natural remedies being brought into "traditional medicines" instead of them being outlawed in many countries.
    -Education would be free for all, and the allowance for all teachings, religions and belief systems to have a say in the world.
    -Housing would be available for all people, no-one would be homeless, support would be supplied to those you cannot afford housing.
    -Cars and other pollution creating technology would be replaced with more sustainable technology, such as cars that run on water, air or electricity (they do exist, look them up, big petrol companies squash any hope of them being publicly released any time soon)
    -Poaching of wild animals would be banned in all countries along with de-forestsation.
    -Technology will become more stable and renewable, with working towards less throwing away and more recycling, moving away from our 'throw away society'.
    -Free speech and human rights would be promoted and enforced in ALL countries.
    -Animal cruelty would be punishable in a similar way to human abuse.

    ...There is more but I'll stop for now- too much info! XD

    Make sure all the world's citizens had food, water, shelter, and immunizations. Too many people die from Malaria, for example. When that's a very preventable illness.

    In-game wise..

    I would give everyone the materials to make one character R999, full josd and sharded. If they wanted more than that so they could play on alts, they'd have to go out and earn it so that there would still be a reason to do pve stuff but everyone would be on the same level in terms of gear ability to farm. I'd choose rank gear mostly because you can't stash it.

    For that issue, just reliking the page on facebook (unlike it and relike it) seems to work. Try that and see if it works.

    I'd pull a Bob Barker and help control our pet population by spaying and neutering our pets. I'd set up a vet clinic in Lost City.

    I'd also have barbs and venos tagged so you can find one when you need a buff or something purged. Or if they get lost.

    Fix the planet.

    Destroy all the current methods of transportation and power and permanently ban non-sustainable clean energy.

    Terraform third world countries with crop problems. Terraform overpopulated cities and develop less invasive methods of living. Metropolis cities inside skyscrapers to conserve space.

    Develop tiered crop lands to use less space.

    Replant coral. Fix the ocean, the world's LUNG, in any and every way imaginable.

    Create flying carbon eating nanobots to clean our atmosphere, that biodegrade in the ocean to feed algae/corals.

    Create trash/pollution/CDC eating nanobots that break the trash into its molecular components to release it as reuseable materials, or fly it back to plasma camps that burn unbreakable compounds into their atomic structures to be used in atomic prototype building projects.

    ...create modern tech to make living in the wild luxurious, safe, and comfortable.

    Repopulate animals on the brink of extinction.

    ............ I'm sure there's more.

    I saw that thread and it doesn't work, I can send to all chars on my account except the one I made the other day, I tried EVERYTHING in that thread and others said as well that new chars cannot get it.

    Edit: My friends and me made new chars and NONE of us can get a blessing on our new chars, but can on other chars on the same account, we all tried everything said in the thread.

    Tough choice would be 1 of 2 things either help out all of America's forgotten youth (kids abandon by their caretakers at ridiculously young ages and therefore become homeless, usually in gang territory or they get kidnapped and forced to do even worse things).

    Other choice would be to put an end to human trafficking world wide.

    But I can't decide which is more imperative I guess since it's a hypothetical question I shouldn't think about it to much...
