The White Death

I assume every Castle Age player knows The White Death. And for the last 48 hours Castle Age has done goofed. The White Death, The Whirling Death, and the maintenance notice, which may very well be 404 CA style.

Think about it, not so hard to comprehend. It may not be that they put that note there when they truly update, it might be just their default error message. Why else would this note appear randomly, and let you play in between?

Some of us didn't get to log on once, like Dawn, who even apologised to me personally, how cute. Me, I got in, but maybe 40% of times. But I was compensated, read below.

Yesterday, my stamina was full. I attacked, until I had 60 stamina left. Suddenly, I had some 270 stamina. I hope the hits I made both times counted, in which case I got a free refill.

But that's not all. I prayed for Azeron, and when I clicked, The Whirling Death came on. I remembered my accidental free refill, so I kept clicking... And by the way, once I got 12/10 demipoints from PvP battles...

Anyway, I just noticed this now... I had 340 max stamina before praying. And now... I have 356!

356 max stamina, this is permanent.

However, I'd still like more compensation. Many of us have battles, and it pisses us off when they fail by no fault of our own.

I think Castle Age fucked up. In the past, you could tell by the nice weapons who has been in a lot of monster battles, because the best weapons were hard to get. But now they made Vincent, who is too easy to get epic loot from, and he drops the strongest ordinary equipment. And so everybody who's in a numerous guild has the best equipment in the game.

In the past, to get the best ordinary sword in the game, that is, not counting Soulforge, Devotion, and Meat Carver, you had to get serious activity on many Alpha Mephistopheles', because Hellblade's drop chance was only around 10%, but now they made a weapon that is stronger than Hellblade, and far too easy to get.

Alpha Mephistopheles was introduced on July 15th, and I have no Hellblade. Vincent was introduced October 28th, and I have 3 Exsanguinators already.

Tartu Kaubamaja

Nice salesclerk do exist. I was shopping for Duran Duran's Greatest Hits. At the checkout the clerk suggested I buy the special edition, which came with a DVD, and was a lot cheaper. Today I was shopping for Kraftwerk, the same clerk was already "beeping" the items, but then I remembered it's going to be a bonus night on Friday, where items would be 10% off. I asked if he could hold the items for me to purchase on Friday, and he said okay.
