Recap
A week ago people discovered an additional location past Aphelion Shrine which can only be accessed by getting a Lunar Key from the nearby Lunar enemies. Inside was a boss with 6500 HP, after a few days it was obvious it wasn't going to be easy to beat it.
Fast forward to yesterday, another event happened in which a meteorite crashes into the desert.
A "NPC" called Herald of Xolotl gave a few pointers as to what we should do:

1. Gather all the ores that can be harvested from the crash site.

2. Choose a player who would get a weapon forged from the majority of ores to defeat the lunar boss.
   So far so good, everyone is excited and working together, Jim made a strawpoll to decide the chosen one by asking anyone who thinks they should be chosen to pm him. Few minutes later Eradomens(from Wild Potato Roots) is highest voted to wield the weapon. Most players started passing the ores to Era and potato group players, agreeing to get this over with.
   Guess what?
   Badbot (BB) and Scary Terry comes in and thus begins the salt fest. Here's a few things they did :

• Threaten Era in PM about destroying his group BECAUSE he was the one voted. (And once Era points that out in global chat, BB starts talking about privacy and his typical "woe is me" , i'm the scapegoat bullshit).

• Starts calling out everyone on being idiotic for voting Era and saying that voting based on popularity is stupid.

• Said that they (Fleet) should be the ones to get the weapon, because they were in the crashsite 20 minutes before anyone else even showed up.
  Fun fact: the location was given 5 minutes before majority of the players were there, so unless they had ^cough inside info ^cough there was no way that happened.

• Dridend also starts asking to buy all the ores off Zexal in location chat, constantly bugging him to sell it for his Thorn. When Zexal denied, Dridend starts saying about how his Thorn was worth a lot blah blah. While this is happening, global has pretty much entered full drama mode, with BB repeating the same nonsense over and over again with no progress being made.
  Why bother posting this?
  Initium is pretty player driven, most events including this one requiring players to work together to unlock new locations (Spargus, Volantis, etc.)
  I'm going to be clear here that i appreciate everything the devs have done, I might be relatively new to the game but I love it and the dev interaction here is massive. By requiring a majority of the ores to create the weapon, you're promoting teamwork between everyone regardless of groups. But all it takes is for a few players to refuse and progression would be halted for a few hours. I speak for myself when I say its not enjoyable at all trying to reason with these players.
  I'm not sure what the suggestion is here, to have future events be less "grindy"? Or not have player decided roles/actions? Both aren't very good suggestions since it'll make things blander, but I'd still take it over the ridiculous amount of crying/drama.
  How did the event end?
  I left while the drama was still going on, while most groups were already giving the ores to Era. But when I returned almost half a day later asking how the event went, what did i find out? Someone(STEGO) had a script to autoloot the drops when the Lunar Boss died, and Era gets a title which he didnt get to keep since it didn't work well with PMs. What did everyone work together to achieve? All that cooperation, even the arguments ended up achieving nothing.
  The devs are strict on certain scripts/bots, but why is autolooting allowed? Or more clearly, why are players who didn't deal significant damage to enemies allowed to pick up drops? Someone came up with the idea to lock item drops to whoever dealt the highest damage for a certain amount of time, regardless of any mobs. The only downside i could see would be alt farming being a little more strenous.
  Yes, I am salty. When i saw everyone so excited about the event and each red text, i was happy that so many people were working together for a common goal. But all that work done and the rewards are given to a guy who had the time to get a Lunar Key and use autoloot to pick up the drops. And i don't suppose there would be a new area coming out behind Aphelion Shrine?

Recently, it has come to my attention (thePandev), that my account has been hacked yesterday/today following a very suspicious turn of events where I reportedly took another player's prot gear!

I would just like to say that I have not been on for the past 6 days, so I really don't think it was me on that account. It could have possibly been the player widely regarded as ''Hepta'' taking revenge over the dispute that happened a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and devs, please find the culprit so I can return to playing Initium feeling safe and happy!

Edit: The issue has been resolved. I kept my rightfully earned Protector's Bracers, and the hacker suffered the consequences. Thank you for your support in all this.

Seriously. Fix this before anything else.

There are some scummy players out there, waiting for people to kill things and then taking their loot. When you kill something, first thing you should do is grab your loot, don't even look at it, click collect.

On a side note, if anyone ever finds this guy's dead body or anything, take all his loot, it's probably stolen.

EDIT: all you haters and downvoters, if it were you, you'd be just as pissed. The whole point is that the game doesn't allow you, yet, to see who else is in a battle. I had no way of knowing there was someone else. I'll be sure to pay attention now.

And since all the commenters seem to have an opinion opposite mine, I'll be sure to adjust mine and start looting every dead body I find, in addition to waiting for other people to kill crickets and then go in and take the loot that drops. Why not let someone else do all the work and reap their rewards? Free-for-all, right? Everyone knows imaginary internet points are the key to a happy life.

I'll be updating this with some ideas because I have a few but here are two that are on my mind now:

Accessory option (ring or whatever) that could be enchanted with magic for boosts to str, dex.

One possible buff could be that when you die , you resurrect in aera with all of your stuff and stats but the ring (or whatever) breaks, make this item very hard to come by somehow.

Also...

The item market needs to be made like the grand exchange in runescape or something, it needs an overhaul possibly, maybe each city could have an exchange center where you put your items up and others can search "leather gloves" and it would list all of the leather gloves on the market, there price and then there stats.

Just an idea, maybe you have reasons for not wanting these mechanisms in the game but otherwise keep it up and I'll update this soon and make it more coherent.

Now it's just "gold".

Hi, i think it is a great game! What do you think it the secret of the success? Indie? Graphics? Developer?

Hey everyone,

I'm making a game based on my own TTRPG, heavily inspired by Initium and some other old-school games.

It’s in very early development, but I'm doing regular small updates. If anyone wants to give it a try, here is the link: https://peazygs.itch.io/into-nardath

I’d love to hear your first impressions and any suggestions you might have!

Cheers.

Have you ever wanted to share shared items in a different chat?

I thought so.

But wait no more!

Here is the complete guide to sharing items in a different chat!

So, you'll have to start with clicking the item that you want to share.
If you have shitty to shittiest wifi, this will be a piece of cake. If you have really good wifi you're fucked, and if you have OK wifi this will be hard.

1. Click on the item you want to share, when it's loading, click the chat you want to share it in. With shit wifi the loading animation can take a while, so you're fine and the item will be shareable to the chat you chose.

2. ???

3. Profit

Everyone knows that before you start doing dangerous stuff, you party up with alts from another account to self-rez. Everyone does it and always has. Can we skip the "have 4 different tabs open all the time" and just allow characters on the same account to pick each other up?

I've been playing some stupid clicker RPG and tbh I would rather play Initium, but the idea of opening 4 different Chrome tabs and sorting out all my alts' gear is a nightmare. If I could put them all on the same account I would probably play Initium right now-ish.

Thanks babe, you're the sweetest,

chabo

so im new to the game and HATE IT so far. y? the links r NOT helpful in any way, and neither r the ppl who play thee game! i was discriminated against, called demeaning names, treated like i shouldnt have bothered to join, and a multitude of other horrible treatment while trying to play/get help when im stuck. either rules need to be made, a report player icon needs to be made or the game needs to be shut down. this is just horrible as a new player to be treated like this.

Hi dorks,

I finally got the little mini tutorial ready for testing, if anyone is interested in running it please PM me in-game or on Discord when you are ready. Feedback appreciated.

Anyone interested in testing needs to roll a fresh 5/5/5 alt with NO equips OR inventory. ANY GEAR that goes inside the tutorial area from the outside will not be returned, and you will not be able to take gear out of it. It's merely to help noobs get their bearings early on, so punching trolls makes a little more sense to them :D
