Okay I am in full rant mode. Free MMOs. Everyone's making them. I'm sick of them. Why? Because it seems every week there's a new one everyone's flocking too, and forgetting about the one that came out LAST week.
Okay so example. I'm looking for a new MMO to get into because poor old World of Warcraft just doesn't satisfy. Well I don't want to pay anything so my only choice from there is to go free. Where do I go? The Asian market of course! So I sift through the literally 100's of MMOs there and find Perfect World.
Lemme rant on Perfect World for a second. This is a gorgeous game. For a free MMO? They put work into this. Real work. Just the way the armor shines makes me go "World of What?" (Hehe I so funny). The game has its own flaws no doubt, which is why I am still a WoW player and not a Perfect World player, but Perfect World is definitely a game to look at and try. Game play is alright, the effects are crisp and shiny, and you can even customize your character to unbelievable looks. You don't find this in free MMOs much at all. There are well over 50 hairstyles, and you can even apply one or two textures to them, and change the color to nearly any hue! How awesome is that? Quite if I say so myself. Look the game up. It's getting an English version (A TRUE English version might I add) soon, so definitely look it up.
Okay back to ranting. I picked Perfect World up for a bit when it was in beta in Malaysia, and liked it a bit. It was definitely not perfect, but it was effective in what it did. Well suddenly ... A new MMO comes. Who's the new kid? Dream of Mirror Online. Now it's Perfect what? World of What? Oh right. Dream of Mirror Online. I try it. Meh. No-where near Perfect World or World of Warcraft caliber. So I abandon it and go back to World of Warcraft and Perfect World.
BUT WAIT! There's someone else now! Who else could it be but (I forget the name, the game just wasn't that significant.)!! Let's try it and forget about World of What, Perfect What, and Dream of What Online! It's A NEW GAME. Sucked. Back to World of Warcraft, and some Perfect World on the side.
ONOZ WAIT WAIT WAIT. Plz? Some other game wants your attention too! It's (Again, not significant enough to even remember the name, I can barely remember the gameplay it was that bad.)!! Let's try it as well and forget about everyone else! Nothing.
The point I'm trying to make here is this: Find a game, and stick with it. Don't be super wishy-washy and go "Ooooh this one is so shiny I'll play it now." "OOOOH This one is so super more shiny so I'll play it now!". Find a game, play it, stick with it. Switching games every 2 weeks just because a new one is out and is "a little more shiny" is silly. It's downright silly.
Are you too picky (Almost like me, believe me if I don't like a game, I'll let you know.) and just can't seem to find the right free MMO? Here's a good suggestion. Find some other genre of game to play. Obviously if you can't find a good MMO to play, maybe you shouldn't play MMOs. All they do is eat up your social life and take it away anyways.
Am I done? Heck no. I'll never be done. I could rant on this all day and night if I could but I'm not. I'm out for now. Go find an MMO if that's your thing, but please, PLEASE if it appeals to you, stick with it. Don't abandon it as soon as a newer, shinier game comes out.
Storm's coming it. Later ya'll.

Meh, I'm not dead I suppose. I'm still throwing a bone here and there ...
Been on the low lately because of disfunct. software and hardware, but everything's better now.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Yeah I'm half preparing something pretty big, I'd think so anyway. Keep in tune, I'm excited for it, should it get off the ground without a hitch.

P.S. It's a comic if your curious, much better quality than The Last Stand. What was I thinking for the last stand? Not even I know. What a flop o_o!
-Valcron x2
This is the poem by which all Elementalists go by. Without this poem their organization may very well crumble beneath their own feet. It has endured the years and still holds stronger than any fortress.
Become the Strength for those whom are weak.
Become the Leader for those whom are meek.
Become the Knowledge for those more feeble;
Our mission is to destroy evil from the lowly dark breeder.
We are the light: The Sword and the Shield;
The day's end victory is our only true yield.
Through the elements we defeat the sinister liar;
As our weapons come from Earth, wind, water, and fire.
The day may end with victory on the enemy's side,
But we end the day with our hearts full of pride.
Pride before the fall, but glory is as pride's brother:
It is here we are frozen; forever in prideful slumber.
Strength, leadership, knowledge, and power.
We are Titans among men each day and hour.
That is all.
Looks like it's time to admit it. I'm unknown by the masses. I have no room to be saying big words, or going off and saying big things to people, they don't know me! It's pointless to do so anyway, it's not like people listen to a nobody.
Is that what I am? A nobody? I'd think not, I hope others think not too. Should I become mass popular and everyone start loving me because I say so? I'd think not either, but the thought is again, nice :).
I AM VALCRON. DEMAND THE GENUINE ARTICLE. If you see a Valcron hovering around and he's not a red-haired, lightning shooting, green sweater wearing kind of guy, SHOOT HIM. He's NOT me.
Some history:
Valcron is a name that derived from Valkerion. Valkerion I would find is a name my own father created, so in a sense, Valcron is sort of a lesser name of Valkerion, indicating the genealogy. Sounding smart yet? Just wait.
The name 'Valcron' would in actuality evolve from an EVEN LESSER NAME 'Vava'. Vava is the name of Vile from Megaman X (Japanese version), for those whom know their facts. You guys get cookies. Vava ended up being the name of one favorite roller type robot of mine that I happened to draw a lot in my younger days. Will I draw him again? Not before the new kid (Valcron the character!). I've sadly outgrown Vava, the name and the robot. There's no telling however, how long ago it was that I actually came up with Valcron, but [b]I GUARENTEE YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING, I AM the genuine article.[/b]. DEMAND IT.
I've gone by a host of names before Valcron: Dreatos (zomg for those who check my portfolio), Conner, Vava, Valkerion (Yes I stole it from Dad >:D), and Henry. Why Henry you ask out of all those cool sounding names (blatent self glorification)? He's the father of Conner Lebro, whom was the owner of Vava! It's complicated. PM me if you want the whole story!
I digress. Will fame ever come to me? I sure hope so, but if not, I can take being the underdog for a while longer. I'm an artist, and one day hope to take my skill to new heights no one has ever dreamed of. I'm an optimist at heart, and with such power in my grasp I will do anything to achieve my goal. These are my dreams, and I will make such come true.
Well that seems to be it for now.
The secret to being popular? LOTS AND LOTS OF CASH-Er wait. No, being a good, modest person whom is kind and respectful is a good way. Am I such? I sure as heck hope so D:

P.S. NO BEFORE YOU ASK, this isn't a plea for popularity, I just want to write on a random subject I might notice for the day. Who knows? In a couple days, it could be cars, or pants, or even love. Hey, give me a shout, I could talk on anything just about!
P.P.S. Nothing Lewd please. I'm pure at heart. D:
