I seriously am pissed with iZZi even more recently.

I have been disconnected more than 7 times in one single hour, and I might quit Cabal SEA permanently if this keeps happening. Stupid iZZi making me quit the only MMORPG I am seriously concentrating on.

It started this weekend, Saturday (13th December 2008), whenever I go dungeons, afk dummy, fight anything, walk anywhere else outside of town or even walk around in town, I get dced.

I am so f*cking pissed with iZZi for having shitty services like this. I mean, Asiasoft hardly have any difficulties with their services, then suddenly "Oh-shit-I-will-be-disconnected-from-the-game-after-this-10-seconds-freeze" incident that happens before I get dced just takes a toll on my nerves.

So here, f*ck you iZZi for providing shitty ass services. iZZi, your services is as bad as TMNet, one of the lousiest ISP for Malaysia. Kudos, you suck big time, you are no different from them.

I will look into P1 WiMAX due to this incident.

Was just wondering if there was any upcoming latest release on MMORPG, cause I am getting bored of re-playing old online games.

I want to play something new and get hooked on it AT LEAST until the game is going to die ...

So was wondering, any community samaritans can help with this? Drop a comment.

P.S. preferably, the game is located in South-East Asia.

Meh, my friend brought me back to this game (which I kind of liked it ... until now). So here is how to patch these updates manually fresh from the DVD installation of CABALSEA obtained via PCGamers Magazine for Malaysia, March 2008 issue:

Step 1
First, get the needed patch files via their FTP server (click on the update links below)

update_6.dat
update_12.dat
update_14.dat
update_21.dat
update_23.dat
update_26.dat
update_33.dat
update_34.dat
update_38.dat
update_39.dat
update_48.dat

Step 2
Make the folder to 'Read Only'. Then, delete all the files with 'update' in it found in your "X:\Program Files\Cabal (SG MY)\Launcher" (X being your Disk Drive letter) folder.

Step 3
Delete your CabalMain.exe and Launcher.exe, and patch it up.


I think this method is not working, at least the links to the updates files are valid. I will update as soon as I get a hold of the complete details.

Changelog
========

12-12-08	-	Changed the description for Step 2
	-	Changed the URL site as the directory of the patch server was changed.
	-	Added Update_48.dat

Breeding Chocobo in Final Fantasy VII is considerably fun, and time consuming. Chocobo breeding becomes available only in Disc 2 after you have acquired the Highwind.

Here are a few things you should prepare before you start your choco-breeding adventure:

• Have at least 1.06 million gil in your pocket
• Have 3 Carob Nuts * in hand
• Have 1 Zeio Nut ** in hand
• Stock up on Sylkis Green *** with that 1 million gil of yours

The benefits of a coloured Chocobo:

• Gain access to the Ancient Forest
• Obtain the 4 caved materias (Quadra Magic, HP <-> MP, Mime, KotR)
• Visit Lucrecia's fountain
• The Gold Chocobo does everything a normal, Black, Blue and Green Chocobo can

Okay, let us begin.

Step 1: Space for Rent
Head on over to the Chocobo Ranch nearby the Midgar Zolom.
All the Chocobos that were in the small pent are now gone, and you can rent the stalls within the chocobo ranch. Each stall costs 10,000 gil.
Rent at least 4(advisable 6) stalls from Bill's father in the house.
Purchase some cheap Greens (the first one that cost 100 Gil each) which you will need to use to feed the Chocobos for capture out on the fields.

Step 2: Seperating the Best from the Rest
Make sure you have someone equipped with the Chocobo Lure materia.
Now, head on over with your Highwind to the Chocobo tracks nearby Rocket Town.
Walk around and capture 4 to 6 Chocobos in this area. Remember to send them back to the ranch.
Head back to the Chocobo Ranch and move the Chocobos into the stalls.
Move ONLY the ones where Choco Bill says "This is a great chocobo", if Choco Bill says "This one is so-so", release them.
Remember to move 1 Female and 1 Male Chocobo of the great type into the stall.

Step 3: Back on Track
You can attempt to breed the newly captured Chocobos but it is advisable not to, as the rate for the two Chocobos to produce the Blue or Green Chocobo is rather low.
Also, you will need to mate them with a Carob Nut.
To increase your success chance on a Blue or Green Chocobo to be given birth by these parents, get them to race in the Chocobo Square in Gold Saucer to raise their ranks to at least A(reaching S rank ensures a Blue or Green Chocobo).
Now, mate these two high ranking Chocobos and await the result.
You will get Blue or Green Chocobo at random, so pay attention to which one you got, including the gender as well.
(I would advise saving at the point when you first received a coloured Chocobo)

Step 4: What goes Around, comes Around
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to breed for the other coloured Chocobo.
You will need to make sure both the Blue and Green Chocobos are of different genders, then mate them with a Carob Nut.
Of course, the higher ranking these two Chocobos are the higher chance you will get the Black Chocobo.
If both the Blue or Green Chocobos are not of A rank at least, the breeding will result in a Blue or Green Chocobo as their offspring.

Step 5: The Coveted
Okay, you got your Black Chocobo, what next? You are just one step away from attaining the Gold Chocobo that you have worked so hard for =)
Now, head on over to the Chocobo tracks in Icicle Area, a little south of Icicle Inn.
Capture about 2 to 4 Chocobos in this area, then head back to the ranch.
Move the Chocobos you have caught there into the empty space in the stall, if you only purchase 4 stalls, I would advise that you release your Blue or Green Chocobo or rent another for the Chocobo from Icicle Area and the Gold Chocobo.
When moving the Chocobo in, there will be one that looks like it is dashing and Choco Bill will comment that it is a 'Wonderful' Chocobo, that is the one you need.
Make sure the Wonderful Chocobo you are moving is the opposite gender of the Black Chocobo you have.
Again, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the 'Wonderful' Chocobo and mate with the Black Chocobo.


Congratulations, now you have a Gold Chocobo!

* - The Carob Nut can be obtained by a monster in the Icicle region wherever there is a grassy patch. The monster name is Vlakorados and is un-sense-able and have about 30k HP (rough estimation). You can either Steal from it or win it after the battle.

** - The Zeio Nut can be obtained by a monster in an island a little north east of the Midgar region, in the Goblin Island area. The monster, of course is Goblin. You can either win or steal the Zeio Nuts from them.

*** - The Sylkis Green is obtained via the Chocobo Sage, a little south east of Icicle Inn where you can enter by Highwind or a Gold Chocobo. Here, you can purchase them for 5k Gil each. A little pricey, but it is well worth the spend as it raises all 3 of the Chocobo's statistics drastically (Endurance, Speed, Intelligence)



Update Log
==============

04-03-09	-	Changed the statement where Zeio nuts must be won in order to obtain them from Goblins to be stolen and won as well.
	-	Changed the statement where Vlakorados has an estimation of 25k HP to 30k HP.

So much has happened since the dawn of November.

I never thought that so many changes can be so deftly impacting. I lost my internet connection due to retarded services provided by an alternative ISP. I lost whom I thought was my best friend on what reason I don't and wish not to know. I lost my online community because of frustration and hindrance.

The only time I have internet access is while I'm in my college labs. Wow, I'm so f*cked up.

I lost it all ... and I'm going to lose it if my studies and work stacks up and accumulates into a mountain of stress which I will never be able to withstand. I have no more close friends that I could talk to. I have no more friends that would comfort me when I need someone to care for me.

I just ... feel like I'll be lost in an abyss of loneliness. There are no more real friends in this world. It is a doggy dog world out there. I hate humanity. I really think the coming of apocalypse is just what this world needs to purge ridiculous humans off from the face of this planet.
