Auction My last chibi ever [HB: 7.1k] ended

I just have to stop by and say that the RO fanart made me really happy. : ) Always great to see that more people play/have played the MMO! And your art is really cute. Good luck with the auction!

Whoa, it's not everyday I meet another RO player *high fives* I thought no one was going to recognise them lol.
I used to play RO like mad during high school. It was just so addicting! I quit the official server after a year, but after that I play in private servers once every few years :p I can't seem to find a MMO as good as RO.
Do you still play RO? What jobs do you have in RO? xD

And thank you, glad you like them! I'm a little nervous since this is my first art auction hahah. I love your chibis too by the way!

Yes 3k lol. I LOVE YOUR ART TO PIECES! You are one of my favorite artists on TBT.

Ehhhhh! Sure! I was asking because I love having art of my boyfriend and me. XD

I'd love that! That's very kind of you dear. :)
I was hoping for the main piece my mayor and a very tiny cat like Mizti, like a plush of the villager or something (because I am not sure of actual villagers with this?).
And for the tiny Chibi a tiny Stefan thinking of me (non mayor) if you can add a thought bubble hehe.

Thanks again for that.

Gah, but there are so many amazing artists in TBT ;_; I'm so honoured to hear that, thank you! Now please excuse me while I turn into mush lol.
Psst, your chibis are one of my favourites too in TBT

Awh I love your idea, it's so adorable! I can already picture the whole scene in my head. It involves stars though, since I keep remembering your old signature ^^; It was Katy holding a star if I remember correctly?
A villager is okay by the way, since they are counted as the extra small animal :)
Hahah yes I've seen your refs from Donacabana's thread, I love the marshmallows :p

And thank you for your bids Chibi and Selcouth! I have updated the HB, and added the extra little chibi option :)

What! This is your first? :o

Nooooo! Don't turn into mush! Ch- Chibis... *blushes and faints*

Oh my I can imagine that as well, that would be such a lovely piece! Ahhhhh <3
..and OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS! HO- HO- HOW DO YOU REMEMBER MY SIG FROM THAT LONG AGO! :o
Yes, yes she was!

Haha thanks #/\#

Ragnarok online.... You brought back memories. I played ragnarok online way back a little after it started up in 2002 until 3rd classes got released.... Around 2008-2009ish. I grinded in the labs with high wizard respawn and a whole team of people. I had a gypsy (my friends who quit) and had some side characters like champion and a side alchemist. My main was a high priest named Jeweliya... I got her to 99 high priest with lv 70 job then quit the game because the grinding made me sick of RO. That was way back when it was actually hard to level, the best thing we got was double exp book and everyone went broke buying one lol

I met some of my best friends on that game, some of which I am still close to over 10 years later. Met my first boyfriend on ragnarok online too and he lived all the way out in California so I didn't visit much. This was a few years before I met my husband lol. Also met some very crazy guys from the UK who are still my favorite Welshmen and Irishmen lol there is nothing like WoE with a crazy Irishman screaming over Ventrilo about how much he wants to kill Fatty Chubby Kitties (***)

Anyway, sorry for the long walk down memory lane, I just really loved RO. I would have not survived my aldolescents without the friends I made from there over 10 years ago.

*High-fives!* Yeah, I know the feeling! That's why I was really surprised. Most people tend to play the 3D/full-body/non-sprite MMOs, so it's always rare to find someone else into RO. I played RO like crazy from the summer of my senior year and into college. I joined just around the 2nd beta (near the end) and I paid to play for... about a year or so on the official servers (Chaos, specifically). After that, like you, I've been on and off private servers since. I'm currently on "break" from it, but I always end up going back. XD I just quit DreamerRO as of last summer. I GM'd there for about a year and a half and played for 3-4 years on that server. I'll probably end up checking in on it again sometime, if all my stuff is still there. lol Where did/do you play?

Favorite jobs... man, that's hard! I really enjoy a lot of classes in the game. I guess my favorites are probably Arch Bishop (I've always loved playing support classes), Sniper (Ranger is OK, but I don't like how the female ones look. lol) and Lord Knight. I have soft spot for High Wizard, too, which was a lot of fun to play. What are you favorites?

Man, just talking about the game makes me miss it already. I was such a headgear junkie.

Anyway, you're welcome! I'm sure your auction will go just fine! There's no way people are going to pass up such cute art. : ) (And thank you!)
 
@Chibi: Hahah yes, this is my first one! This was made 100% on impulse though, just suddenly wanted to do something cute for one last time. Hence why the lack of fancy formatting and all ^^;

It's one of my TBT goals to get a commission from you, hope you don't mind me stalking lurking in your pixel thread... xD

Hahaha you got that signature the first time we talked. It was a thread where someone's Marina got stuck for 20 years in their cycling town I think. I remember seeing your signature and I thought "That's one cute picture" xD That was around...uh, early 2014 or so?


@Diamondarcadia: Oh my gosh lv99 high priest?! O_O You are so patient! How long did it take you? Even my most dedicated friend only reached lv50 high priest lol. (he used bot too iirc). I got sick of grinding quickly, the double exp book haven't even exist when I quit haha ^^; I think mine were a lv70 assassin and lv55 blacksmith.
And in the labs too. I can only imagine how hard to take down the enemies there.

Have you tried private servers though? A lot of them got much higher exp and drop rate than the original RO, so the grind is not so bad! One I used to play also got custom bosses and pets. It is certainly a good option if you miss playing but don't feel like grinding really hard.

And it's so nice that you met many friends there! Gosh it's really nice to be able to still keep contact with them too :D I lost contact with most of mine but one, he is a really nice guy from Spain and he taught me some Spanish sentences xD
Hahah that sounds like really crazy WoEs xD I'd love to see the crazy conversations, must be epic!

Aw, your picture really hit me with nostalgia wave. I only played until the second job came out, but they got what, rune knight and warlock and other classes now? I'm so out of touch with the latest news *_*;



@Amissapanda: Haha yes most of my friends play FF14 and Tera, I'm the only one who played RO ^^; I might be old fashioned, but to me 3D MMOs are not as charming as sprite based MMOs. Speaking of 3D MMO, I have yet to try RO2. Heard it's not good though.

I used to play in HiddenRO in 2009, I think it's gone now :'< I also went to HyperRO last year, but suddenly the GM reset the whole server and deleted all the accounts without announcement, just because he felt like it. That was so not cool, man. The whole server was gone a few months after that happened too. Weird ^^;
I checked DreamerRO and it sounds like a popular and stable server, I should give it a try sometimes :D Did you try other servers or did you only play in Dreamer?

My original favourite from the official one was assassins, they looked dark and cool to teenage me, heh. Turned out I suck at using meele chars, so I died a lot lol. Once I tried high wizard I got hooked though. Especially since they can insta-cast in my private server so I can spam like crazy haha. I love the snipers as well, the eagle looked cool and i love how they also participate in battles *_*

Gah all the RO talks really make me want to play RO again too xD Haha what headgears were your favourites?
My first headgear obsession was the angel wings. It was an impossible dream in the official server... Though after playing on private servers my favourite becomes valkyrie helms. Not sure if it's even an official item, but it looks so great *.* And gotta love poring hats too.

And aw thank you! ;v; I've been a fan of your art so it means a lot!

Oh dear so sorry for the long replies... once I talk about RO I can hardly stop *A*;

You've done better than my first auction that's for sure. I've only ever done one.
Hehe, I understand.

Ek! Oh my again I am honored you really like the chibis. #><#
I am hoping to get back to art very soon once I get a few things settled in rl. I'll let you know when I am back to doing them.

And oh my yes I still remember that thread! Yes, it was in early 2014.
 
The Pennifer jumps in with a bid of 3.5K (jealously wishing that she had played this intriguing game of Ragnarok so she could join in the conversation!) :rolleyes:

Girl, don't get me started LOL It took 6 months to get to 99 high priest. With large leveling parties in the labs, you were lucky to get 5% A DAY! If you died, it was literally 4 hours of RO wasted. I was around for the 3rd classes for a bit but the downgrades they did to assumptio and other high priest buffs really irked me and I stopped playing. Then shortly after the game became free with a lot of in-game purchase options. Before Exp books I used to pay 12.99$ a month for so many years lol then it was 12.99$ a month PLUS add ons and so many of us went broke, especially because we were young college students or high school seniors at the time haha. I didn't like private servers because they used to wipe them a lot and I considered it a waste of my life lol I played on the server Loki and occasionally Chaos but that wasn't very often because Loki was the most populated and active of all the servers at the time (there was only 3)

There is a website ropd.info that shows the last known looks and outfits for your characters. i assembled a compliation of what they had on my character and actually forgot I had an Assassin Cross and a baby mage and I also had a soul linker for buffs. Oh man... the days!!!! You have made me miss those days so much, when my only issues in life was getting on before WoE and making sure my party was buffed. Check out my character compliation pic!

@Chibi: Aw really? If only I know you made an auction, I'd bring all my bells hah :p

Oh thank you! When you announce slot opening I'll stalk lurk like an eagle lol. Hopefully I can commission you this OC :blush:

Hehe that Marina thread was a little creepy. Nobody can move out from OP's town for some reason o_o


@Diamondarcadia: Whuh but 6 months for high priest?? That's still insanely quick! O_O It took me a little over year to make lvl70 assassin xD I remember the 1% penalty when you died... Must be a nightmare when you're so high leveled! One enemy only gave you like 0.01% if I remember correctly?

Ohh yes they do wipe private servers a lot ;v; One I used to play wiped all account without a notification! Annoying was an understatement lol. I think there are plenty of stable servers that have been running for years though, I really need to find one stable server instead of hopping from server to server hahah. I played on Loki as well, you're right Loki was really crowded. When I played Morroc used to look like this lol http://f.ptcdn.info/364/009/000/1378458412-morooc-o.jpg

Your little priest is so cute! Love your choice of headgears too :blush: What is the wing hat your linker wear? I spy an alchemist too :o
I almost forget that you can have a baby character. I used to have a baby super novice and use her to annoy my friend all the time xD Good time, good time.

I wish I still have screenshots of my characters! All I have are unfortunately... crudely drawn pictures of my characters xD I'll dig for some when I got home lol.

How did you originally get into RO? :D


@The Pennifer: Aw thank you, glad you liked them! ;v; I just don't see myself go back drawing chibis again after this, I got too hooked on realism hahah ^^; But thank you so much for your interest!!

And it's never too late to start playing RO. Join us, we have cookies on this side :rolleyes:

Hnnnngg and thank you for the bisa Chibi and Pennifer! I've updated the OP again ;v;

It only went for 500 tbt bells. Back then I really thought my art wasn't good enough and no one liked it. I was really depressed about my art.

Oh my that's a lovely OC. I will have fun drawing that haha.

I think I know what the problem was now but man it was so long ago! I think the worst glitched thread I have ever read is the two Wolfgangs and the invisible plot. XD

Aw don't ever feel bad about your art, I think your style is really charming ;n; *hugs*
I know how you feel though, I feel like that too all the time ^^;

Haha glad you liked her, I'm so excited to see her as your pixel :blush: I hope you liked the other character too x) Have fun with them!

Haha yes I think OP resolved the problem in the end, but I can't remember the solution. Oh yeah that invisible Wolfgang glitch, that was really creepy lol. Probably the weirdest glitch in NL. I really want to check it out myself, but I'm too scared to visit the dream since some people reported crashing ^^; Did you visit their DA?

Something that tore me apart in my life was happening at the time and it really affected my art...a lot. Thank you dear #><#
I really worry if people really do like my style or not of my villagers. *hugs*

Oh yes I did! I will have a lot of fun drawing them and I can't wait! :D

I guess it was something Nintendo didn't expect and I have found from there more people have gotten that glitch. I did with my friend, I walked around the town and it wasn't hard to find the weird plot. I just stared at it. On my friend's copy it didn't take long for him to find it and he opened the map, it crashed. So just don't open the map lol. But after I got out of that dream address I soft resetted and reloaded my game. I was that chicken.

Plus I want to play that game now from all the talk you guys are having. XD

Oh dear so sorry for the long replies... once I talk about RO I can hardly stop *A*;

Yeah, I know the feeling! A lot of my friends are into WoW and other games like that, but it just doesn't have the same draw to me. I even played FFXI back in the day to get a feel for that type of game and I honestly did not like it at all. XD;;; I really love the charm of sprite-based MMOs. I wish there were more of them.

My gosh, I can't remember all the servers I've played at. Most are no longer (I would generally leave after they wiped them, which happened to WAY too many.) Let's see uh... EssenceRO, RebirthRO... there's a lot, but I'm completely blanking on most of the names. There were at least a dozen I've been on, though. Some long term, some not so-long term. DreamerRO has been really solid, though. As far as I know, they STILL haven't had a wipe. And I was there pretty much almost 4 years or longer. I just couldn't take the stress of working to GM on such a huge server of people that were NEVER satisfied. It felt more like a job than for-fun anymore. Plus most of my friends had long-since left at that point.

I was SO terrible at assassins. Hahaha. That's why they didn't make my list. XD I couldn't play one right to save my life. High wizards and snipers are great, though! I can definitely adapt to those playing styles.

As for headgears... I like too many to name, but here's an old gif I made a couple years ago of my sniper gal wearing some different outfits/headgears that I had in DreamerRO (I used to have a weekly line up to wear, one color for every day of the week):
tumblr_mync8bN5Kq1r2hi3po9_500.gif


What she looked like in-game:
tumblr_ly27ojIdng1r2hi3po1_r1_1280.png


Melody Rose was my main in DreamerRO. I loved the pigtail style. I don't have it pictured, but I also loved wearing the Bunny Top Hat headgear on her. It's super cute and matched her pink colors. Actually, nevermind. I found an old gif I made where she's wearing it.

My arch-bishop Serika looked like this:

tumblr_lzd10bpOUG1r2hi3po1_400.gif


I was really excited about the introduction of mounts and made a gif. In retrospect, they're actually alpacas, not llamas. XD That veil was super cute on arch-bishops though, and I wore it a lot. That and the Virgo Diadem/Tiara. And from the really old-school stuff, I still really LOVE the ear-muffs. They're so cute. My knightress wore those.

...Gosh, you got me talking about headgears and now I 'sploded all over this reply with rambles.

Anyway, that means a lot to me, too! Thank you! And congrats on your win in the fair, too! I know I kind of congratulated everyone in one big bunch, but I definitely wanted to tell you that. Your work was stunning!

Hi hi, just want to bump this for the time being.

Sorry can't give proper reply right now, I suddenly got a flood of works coming. Looks like I'm going to not sleep for a second day tonight, oh joy >_< Should be finished by tomorrow and I'll reply after that:blush:

Thanks again for being sweethearts and until tomorrow! ;v;/
