I have loved playing fiesta ever since i joined in closed beta 2, loved console games, and gaiaonline actually, until i tried this, being my first MMO also.

It was a lot of fun when I first got into roumen, killing slimes, starting to use the controls as second nature, getting 10 whole percent each, it was really easy, but even when it got harder, it was still fun of course. Played my hours away here, not doing much school work or chores XP, am now though, just not enough as I should I guess...heh.

The job quest was something else, fighting myself, same power as me...oh and the new music, hearing it for the first time while seeing my shadow self speaking to me, was like "whoa what the?" while he was talking ><. And of course when I finished the job quest, I felt like taking on anything so I went into collapsed prison........eeeeeeyeaaah....riiight....got 1890 damage from a king coll.....not so fun :P.

When i was level 25 i had made a few friends, not serious ones, but nonetheless people who wanted to party..and...heh.....duo (yep, I loved duoing back then too ^^). I was shouting in eld for a guild since I was tired of going solo mostly, and who isn't? Shouted a good many times, even used caps once. wootwoot told me I'd get an invite after the guild war Zer0Brethren was having. Of course they forgot after, but I got the invite eventually, during a GM vs GM event. At first, I was a little quiet, but I soon learned that it was a silly guild, kind of a family type one. I was even nominated as one of the craziest members, when you're lower level, all ya can do is crack jokes to get people to like ya >.<. so thats what I did, i got some respect for my way of thinking also, maybe not, it ~was~ a long time ago >.>, still trying to remember correctly ^^".

When I had my first guild war, we actually were ambushing people in Crimsonwolves, I got beat badly when many level 30+ showed up, and as a noob I got ticked off, but as someone like me, I at the same time made a joke when I got killed the third time >< - went along with getting beaten - and ultimately took all the crap instead of staying there and complaining.

I loved being level 30 just for that awesome spiky armor ^^. As I continued leveling,things got less stressful, more areas i could grind in. I've always loved the creepy areas of any game, so of course I liked grinding in moonlit tomb, the broken music box being the best part of the music ^^.

when I was in town one time, I heard in an announcement that this "cash shop" was now just opening, and that we got free points based on our level. I got 12500 spark cash, bought some low price extenders(200% hp+sp, i miss that T_T) and a racoon mount, sooooooo much faster than a hobby, and a bit more fun to use too ^^. 4swordslink(the current GM of Zer0Brethren, and a good friend since I usually act a little nicer to higher ups >.<") got a cicada mount(giant beetle). It was kind of fast, a little interesting to watch move also, moved in small leaps. The 200% extenders helped a lot with grinding and faking myself to be a higher level in roumen ^^.

I partied with ZB a lot after that, got introduced to ventrilo but sadly, it got screwed up when I joined, didn't get setting my mic to a key >.<. so after ventrilo crashed.....heh.....I continued on and made it to uruga at level 35, yeah, back when the only way there was uru scrolls, or dieing in concealed prison 1....sigh......that was fun, scrambling to get everyone past that evil bridge(on the left side of the map) that holds ya in place for 5 seconds aka long enough for the mob to come execute ya right on spot :X. I was able to get a few guildies there, but had to use tier 2 stuff though, otherwise I couldn't get my self there ><.

When I heard that our characters would be wiped, I was shocked and ticked because of the effort I spent on getting to level 37, almost 38 (not as much as I would be now at level 68 heh). I loved the level 40 armor, a kind of mature upgrade from the spiky armor in my opinion, so I wish that I had at least a few more days to level, but such could not be the case.

So when it was to be closed down the next day, ZB got together and took pics of course. we all got escorts to forest of slumber, awesome place for a low level when it's your first time ^^, though quite scary ><". When i made a quick gag reel from a few pics of a blue archon chasing, then killing me, it was time to leave.

On the last day of closed beta 2 of Fiesta, I was in ancient elven woods with a couple friends, farming sap for fun. We decided to go to elderine, the place to be, when it was the final 30 mins. Many were dancing at the end of closed beta one, which i saw on a youtube video, so I decided to do the same, got a good dance line started too, mostly ZB. We went from the center of eld to the arena. Then when all fun and games put aside, we said our "good bye"s and "see ya again"s. Then as Teva shut down, and I got the infamous "you have been disconnected from the world server" message of closed beta 2, I moved around for a bit then finally hit "ok" ^^. Sigh

There are several things I missed about closed beta 2, but i can explain those another time.

Anyway, this is part one, working on part 2 now ^^, reserving a few posts for it.

Also, I may come back and add stuff, if I remember any more, I know there's a few things I'm forgetting ><". oh and post if ya want whomever wishes to, I got the amount of posts I need.

Continuing where I left off, it was so boring to wait for Fiesta to come back. In the mean time, I posted at zerobrethren.com with guildies, talking mostly about fiesta of course ^^. Some I got to know better, some became my best friends in fiesta.

Though it what was terrible at first, my comp couldn't handle it for some reason, I couldn't install the client T_T, it was hell. I heard on msn that other guildies were fine, and already got to level 20 again X{. When all the craziness of finally starting open beta finished, and everyone including me, go in(woo, no waiting for an e-mail invite this time >.<), it was a feeling I had long been missing. Some things were still the same, but who would care? We got to play fiesta again, and we weren't gonna get character wiped ever again.

Leveling was fine, same old quests(and a few new ones I think ><), reliving being level 1, and having a bunch of people who were waiting for me to catch up, I had lost a lot of time due to the client issues. So I once again began my way back to my highest level(37) in CB2.

It got really stressful though, I kept getting d.ced every 5 mins for about 3 days straight, couldn't play fiesta at all. I figured out that it was this new faulty wireless internet router, freakin piece of junk, bro got a better one later. Then I really started playing again, now that I could walk 5 steps and kill more than 2 whole monsters =O before getting kicked out ^^.

I had a lot more fun this time around, mostly because I was in ZB, I was buying hp stones in eld when I saw the guild invite once again into ZB, good ol' Keenan had gotten enough to bring the guild back, though BusouRenkin beat us to first guild of open beta >.>. So Keenan was the GM of ZBs first half of open beta, some didn't think he was the best for it, but I personally was fine with it.

We had a lot of good times, doing the quests we had come to love finishing, always perked up when i saw all those green exclamation marks on the map. I think one of the funniest moments for me was when I was partied with Drusciliana and Vipebunny when we were in Graveyard of the Dead(if that's wrong, just sayin I can't remember what its called, haven't been there in a while ><). Got a few funny pics of their antics that'll Ill post after I finish this little thing I got going here.

I was in ancient elven woods, always needed an escort of course, and I found a place where when all the mobs are cleared, you could make a lot of profit, well at the level i was it was a a hefty amount. Had to run a lot from monsters near the wood I was farming, but mostly got what I needed to cover skills and such before getting killed. 10s each stack of 50 of high, and sometimes highest quality sap which got double the amount of money ^^, every 15 mins. It was how some payed for their guild :P. Being the first in the guild, I assume, to find it, I called it "the Sal spot." After a while of being alone, which was awesome, I finally saw someone show up and start to farm also, of course I got a little ticked. I asked how long they had known about it, they said "since closed beta." Well that beat me :x, so I farmed less and less at the now "sap spot" or "ZBs finance area" and moved on back to leveling.

Anything under level 36 is kinda fuzzy to me, I can remember 2 friends who stopped playing, and several original ZB members leavin, we lost a lot of our level 50s back then, really got to me how much we weakened. After several series of events, Keenan decided it was time to move on, He passed the title of GM of Zer0Brethren to me, a loyal member. Little did he know, I'm a very lazy person, and quite selfish, I do most things that are beneficial to me(sometimes ><), others only when its a good friend of mine(also sometimes). I was very honored of course, I loved ZB, and being the GM was a dream, just wish I had woken up from that dream to realize its harsh reality -_-.

Anyway, I had gotten to 38(surpassing my previous CB2 fighter) and then to 40, getting that awesome armor and that +3 2 hander from robo kq. I decided at level 46 to commit to that wonder monster known as orcs. Being full strength build, I had an orc license put on that +3 sword. It worked perfectly for me, though I heard there was going to be a battle arena event for level 50-55, so I rushed for levels. With this orc license, I was able to kill them fast and level fast, while making profit while soloing(which is what I mostly did, had cleric duos rarely actually come to think of it).

It was only a waste of time though. I had gotten to level 50, reached my goal, almost had orc conqueror on my license too ^^. The most annoying thing though (and I know I've said/posted this before, but this is the last time) When I had everything ready, I saw the monsters there, had a _5 40 ax, and my signature +3 40 2 hander, and ever a 50 2 hander I burrowed from a guildie. I watched the fights, and even tested you my weapons on the actual monsters in CP while the arena battles were going, I really was ready to take first place. Little did I know, after all the lost sleep while grinding, after all the stress of sjut staying on repetitive orcs to level..............the freakin battle arena event was canceled. I heard they were going to distribute the rewards to the few people who got to fight, and as Dakkon said he would "make it worth our while" with some consolation prize. I felt really sore after, really ticked off. and it turns out that I got an item that I would ironically receive 5 mins later from my second mini dragon kq, gimme back my lost sleep Dakkon T_T. It was disappointing to not see the battle arena event ever again, until that one recently that was for lower levels >.>, then it pulled another Houdini on us, the GMs must really be busy, haven't seen that many events lately ^^".

As I slowed down in leveling I noticed ZB more and more some problems. Being the GM, and having very few original members to get nostalgic with(and a lot of inactive members), I one day( I think a month or less of being the GM) decided to end ZB. We didn't talk much in guild chat(there were sometimes when it was lively), too many inactive, and overall lost what made us awesome. We had made an alt guild, Genesis, controlled by an alt of a member in ZB, who had beforehand handed over the Gen guild to a great member of ZB. All the people who wanted to stay with ZB members went to Genesis after I asked to have ZB put away on an alt.

I continued my onslaught on the orc race now with a fresh orc license out on a +6 50 ax, the second +^ I had made since I broke th first, was never going for +& ever again Y_Y. I killed almost just as fast as my orc conqueror 40 sword, it was awesome. Got a few people to "ooo" and "ah" at me killin em ^^. When I had gotten conqeror once again, I was 56-59, and had joined Collision after a few good friends from ZB had joined it. It was short lived stay I must say, I missed ZB, and didn't like a few members in coll.

I don't even remember if I had a guild when I capped at 59, all I can really think of is that I chest hunted a lot, got many in forest of slumber, it payed well ^^. Though i was a good chest hunter long before capping. I spent most of the rest of the time before the big cap raise helping a few friends along, and making money.

When the cap was raised and the Christmas patch came, I came in to hear holiday music(soohoho fuuuun), quests, It snowing everywhere(even in dungeons) and a new spectacular crit animation. It was a blast.......but little did I know.........we fighters had a big problem. I could not grind much at all because of the missing skills animation for 2 handed weapons, it....just ...sucked =_=. I stopped grinding for two days because of it, but I learned it wasn't gonna be fixed for a while so I pushed on through the annoying crap. I had gotten used to it, while grinding at ancient stonies, which by the way weren't then always occupied by an aoe party -_-.

Ancients stonies became my next wonder monster, but with so many people trying to get to 70(and now capping) and little to share, I had to compete and bring a cleric to duo with, so as to keep myself alive when I had to pull a bunch. I hated competing for mobs, and so, until the aoe parties are done with(which probably won't happen until another map, or burning rock) I had decided to switch to the next wonder monster in line: lizard knights.

there is more to post but for now, I leave ya with something I find funny and irritating at the same time.

So there I was in Roumen, riding my Pegasus (which I had won fair and square) with its last few days(died today T_T) and previously getting whispers about how and where I got it when low and behold, a GM whispers me asking me where I got this Pegasus. Asked me twice, so I was at first suspicious if he was the real thing(thought he was an impostor), He told me he was a real GM, is one of the regulars actually, just surprised a GM (Game Master I think it stands for) didn't know about the events. He said he'd have to ban me if I didn't tel him where I got it............=_=.........what the crap man? What if I had lagged or d.ed making it look like I had "tried to escape" after "getting caught" on my "haxored" Pegasus. I'm not sure the extent of being banned, but I surely don't want to face account deletion(or account suspension thank you very much) because of a mistake, not after paying actual money and spending a lot of time on this game. No I forgot to get a pic but I asked a friend of mine who also won a Pegasus to stay in roumen for a little bit to show I was telling the truth. No disrespect is intended from this little story but just think if he had actually banned me for not knowing about the scavenger hunt. It just ticks me off thinking about it ><.....anyway, I'm done ranting about that. I don't wish to point out which GM this was, though with few GMs in Teva, there isn't that many to guess about.

I'll work on part 3 later
