I won't quit, just like Julie up there, the biggest reason I play is because the people I know there are people I'd like to spend time with. But your addiction seems, or seemed to, be far bigger. I manage to do other stuff even though I play Warspear a whole LOT, even including the stuff you listed like creativity.
But sounds nice, looks like things got better for you.
Most of the friends I had ingame have quit gaming. This made it easy for me to stop too.
Things haven't really changed, nowadays the only friend online on my friend list is Mecha. And my friend list was full once...

It says that thingy is a dam.
Let's make things clear.
This is a dam. (Photo by me… BTW)
The upper thingy is just a pile of old wooden sticks. Please rename it in the next update.

How much less AP to lvl up? Is it like a half less??
To level up 1-6, it costs only half (=50%, Nightgale as wrote it) as much. From level 6, it is the same price.

One year ago, on the 15th of August I officially retired from Warspear Online. That was the last day in the upcoming 10 months when I logged on for a longer time. After that, I only checked up once or twice a month, to see if everything is alright with my character, Tatelan.
I thought I would share a brief story of the past year, since it is very interesting what happened after I stepped into real life. I warn you in advance: it may sound too uplifting, but this is only because I don't want to (and have the time to) explain everything that happened.During a period of two and a half years I levelled up multiple characters, became well-known ingame and supposedly had a lot of fun, however, my connection with people in real life was not too perfect. I was always showing more than I really was, so people weren't suspicious what was really going on. You know, I like talking and interacting with people. But as I recall, I wasn't very good at it. I kept to my fixidea "I don't care what others think of me". This was visible on my look, my clothing (just compare the photos of last and this year's photo contest, you'll see the difference), my attitude to others. I talked a lot of nonsense at that time.
And the reason I neglected myself and others was the fact that EVERY free time I had was occupied by Warspear Online.
Good job, Aigrind, you've developed a game that kept me playing nonstop for more than two years.
You may ask: "Hey! Aren't you a student? When did you have time to play?"
The answer is simple: at night.
In my case being addicted meant playing whenever I could. And that was the time from 9 PM till 3-4 AM at night. Insane to say, but I mostly slept 2-3 hours a day.
Of course, my parents didn't know about it. Playing at night had no effect on my health (looking back, it's a miracle) my grades at school (It had actually, but parents took it as a bad start of high school. Well, not really. I was playing instead of learning...), I did all the stuff they asked for.… Why would have they been suspicious?
In short, I was a nerd gamer.Last summer I had a job and I helped a lot at the construction of our new house. I simply had no time to play, and when I had free time, I strangely had no mood to play.
Quitting an addiction is hard, but in my case it was only a matter of a few weeks not being able to play. I realised I did not need Warspear Online to occupy myself.It is hard to believe that only a single game kept me from a lot of good thing in life but that is the truth. I suddenly had a LOT of free time.
I read a lot before, too, but only to be able to say "I read that book". Thanks to my photomemory I was able to read Pride and Prejudice in a week, Orwell's 1984 in two hours. And when I said " I read it", it was the truth.
I spent last summer with reading a lot, but this time I looked for deeper meanings, for interesting thoughts and I was thinking a lot about them. I also read psychological books and philosophers' writings. Doing it to improve intellectually. I also had time for crafting, and I realised I have quite cool ideas to create them (as you may have seen it too, on the specific thread of this forum.)
When I returned to school in September, I returned completely changed.Of course a lot of people realised it. Being able to speak about things and to think about stuff deeply, they visibly started to appreciate my presence in the group.
I made friends with quite a few people in my class, my grades improved a lot, I have goals for my future.In May I played a dungeon for the first time in the past 10 months. Since then I am online more often, not because I am addicted, but because I enjoy playing. Big difference!
So where are we now, one year after leaving the game? I finish high-school next year, but I already completed half of my final exams. My look's changed too. I have healthy and strong connections with the people who are important to me.
The whole thing may sound a bit sugary. I can assure you things weren't as easy and fast as written here, but I remind you that this was only a brief story. But this doesn't change the fact that my story seems to end well, and this story started when I gave up my addiction to Warspear Online.
Nowadays you can find me ingame often, but September comes soon when I will have other things to attend to. Of course, the forum is always a place I visit often. It's a cool place and doesn't take too much of my time.
Thanks for reading, feel free to comment your thoughts about it!

Always new stuff and new stuff, there is no time for fixes like this. I hate it too, I thought I could trust in a skill that says there's no way to have less than 1 hp when activated. Turns out I can't.

3-4% and noobs lvl 28 sells it for 500k
Doesn't worth even 100k
Doesn't even worth 5k and throwing away an expert skill. Nor to be called an expert skill.
I can easily get 3-4% by a simple crystal reordering.
If it was 30-35 percent, I would pay my ass out for it tho.

A solution would be new sets of equipments and new ways to get them. Crafting is a joke nowadays. What if there were equipment chests for example? I would love that. Of course, greed would make that hella expensive and inaffordable...

And the funny part is that position bug is ignored by devs. No, it's not our internet's fault, even if you have a perfect connection, there are some ways to induce it and take advantage of it. It's kinda part of the game at this point and we have to accept it, it is one more aspect of the game that weakens classes with area of effect skills. I mean, how many times a necromancer or lock died because their skills missed? How many times they dies for it? A single position desync in arena is enough to make a warlock or necromancer player lose.
Exactly, I have buttperfect connection at home, yet positioning bug is present all the time.

Supposed to be. Yet they seem to get me sometimes from 5 or even 6 yards. Idiots.

The correct order still is something you see and then learn. And there will be a high probability to miss a stun or lack of a bit of timing to cast the next stun, if you are still newbie on it. Chain-stun is not simply spamming skills. Sorry, but this is my modest opinion.
There's nothing to apologize for :)
I didn't say chain stun is just spamming skills, but it's spamming skills with perfect timing and in the right order.
Perfect timing is the thing that needs real life skills. Not everyone has the good reflexes, thus not everyone can use a warlock properly.

It's clear we have different ideas here. I see nothing wrong with who uses stats in game and learned to use a class enough to counter its enemy. He is using items in game, things that all of you can use. So my question still stays: "Why not?"
I've read your topic. I agree, but in my opinion the chance of avoiding a stun cannot increase. A class like bladedancer counts on a stunner missing its stuns, and can counter the opponent with 1 combo once he gets the opportunity.
Would still be unfair.
I don't think you have to learn how to permanently stun an enemy, I am a pretty unexperienced warlock user, yet I can do it by pressing skills in the correct order.
To @Ghostv: I see your point but unfortunately this game is far from perfect, despite it's turning 10 next year, a lot of the basic elements are heavily unbalanced. They were not looked after in the past years, changing them now would turn the game from the inside to out.

Dead topic resurrected!
Well, I loved Transformers: The Last Knight.
Yes, I am sane. Yes, I am 18 yrs old. Still, I was stunned by the visuals.
Okay, to prove I don't only watch such "junk" movies... One of the best filming experiences of the year goes to In The Heart of The Sea with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Holland. Beautiful movie.

If I had such "bad luck" like you, getting energy essence all the time...
Good to know now, I won't dispose common essences I get from dungeons anymore.

Well, that's exactly what everyone else has to do with other classes. You need to give up one for another.

I was aware of that question, depends if the developers actually care about the stuff they have in the game or not. Most players probably don't even read quest dialogues, and they are still there, so there is some hope.
This is a valid argument. I like it.
Well, teasers and hidden messages would be awesome.
I was an easter-egg hunter for a while, with hope something would be hidden in Warspear... Did not really find anything.
Anyways, I support your idea, I like reading a lot.
One year ago I retired from Warspear Online

You know, Mecha, if there's anything I would return actively is that time you were talking about. I was such a noob yet had a lot of fun with you. When you temporarily left the game, the guild fell apart and in a few weeks I was member of three or four guilds. (Not to mention that time in AoA :D) Since then there was no guild I really felt is a good community.
Although I can easily run a lab or solo a Hydra myself now, those nooby times were the best.
