Survival Project is going down... TT_TT
"13/12/2006 All Good Things Come to an End
Dear SP Heroes,
There were good times and there were bad times, but mostly good times. We really did do a lot of fun cool stuff together didn't we? So it really is with a much heavy heart that we have the following to announce.
We deeply regret that we will no longer be able to provide support for the Survival Project Malaysia server. We will begin by shutting down the Card Shop on 18th December 2006. However, all players are still welcome to play Survival Project until 31st March 2007 after which, the servers will be brought down.
For our great heroes' benefit, we will be having a final event for you! All cash cards in the card shop will be converted to codes! You will be able to purchase all cash cards in codes! Stay tuned for this final event especially for you!
We heartily thank everyone who has played and enjoyed Survival Project all this while. We're deeply touched by the immense support everyone gave during its run on e-Games and appreciate the cool and exciting moments you've allowed us to take part in.
You guys and gals are the best gamers in the world.
Thank you,
The SP Support Team"
Now, for our memorial. To one of the best games ever!
To summarize...
For honour, for my brothers and for the RCAlliance!
Short summary? :P
By the way, let me do some writing.
In Survival Project, there are modes called "Quests", where players team up against monsters, each with different specification needed to complete the quest. There are three types of Quest, Flame, Dungeon and Forest, with different scenery and monsters. There are also five levels of difficulty for each of the three types of Quest.
The first three levels only allow a maximum of four players at once, while the forth level allows up to six and the final up to eight.
In Flame 1, the players' task is to go around the map, destroying the three Sealed Stones around the map. At the completion of this task, a Dark Orb will appear. Destroying it means completion of the quest. However, Hell Hounds, the weakest monsters found in Flame quests, will spawn occasionally and try to stop the players. They may be weak, but when in a cluster (like 10 or 15, hey, it is possible), they can be difficult to defeat, as they like to "push". They push you into the lava, seal your moment, and you die. Fast and quick. Simple as that. Never underestimate the weakest enemy.
In Flame 2, you now have to destroy four Sealed Stones for the Dark Orb to appear. However, the Sealed Stones are at different "islands", separated by lava, so you have to use a few teleportation panels to warp around. These games give good scores and are often used by the RCAlliance to capture the server [to win points, and if your guild has higher points than others, you capture the server, allowing a bonus in the experience and Code (currency in SP) you obtain in the server (Edit: But of course, we go for the pride you get when you conquered the server )]. Magma Golems help the Hell Hounds out, throwing huge balls of fire. And when the Dark Orb appear, two Magma Bombers and two Hell Hounds appear along with it. Magma Bombers, although slow, have an area attack that affects its nearby surrounding.
Flame 3 is where it gets difficult. You start at a separate "island" and battle your way through Hell Hounds, Magma Golems and Magma Bombers to a teleportation panel where you go to the center. Three lanes there that split off into different directions, two guarded by flames and unable to go in. The first lane continously spawns Hell Hounds, and at the end is a Cerberus {not a Cerlickus XD [Edit: Note - This is a reference to One Piece. In Enies Lobby, there is this three-headed judge whose name I forgot (he's too much of a noob if I forget his name, I guess... -.-). One of the Franky Family, upon seeing him, gets reminded of this three-headed watchdog in hell he read somewhere, but forgot the name and shouted, "Cerlickus?!". Zambai turns around and shouts back, "Cerberus!!" XD]} guarding a Sealed Stone. Cerberus has a weak attack but it makes up for it by being able to fire from long distances. It also likes to "push", similar to Hell Hounds. Destroying the Sealed Stone opens up the second lane, where Magma Golems spawn. At the end is another Cerberus guarding another Sealed Stone, which when destroyed opens the third lane. Again, the third lane contains a Cerberus and a Sealed Stone, and spawns Magma Bombers. After destroying the third stone, a Dark Orb as well as three Cerberus appear in the middle. Destroying the Dark Orb yields victory. This quest is extremely difficult as the monsters tend to cluster together. A divide-and-conquer strategy, devised by yours truly, worked very well against it. Oh yeah, a Burning Soul walks around the map too. This monster cannot be killed, and serves to heal the monsters. Annoying.
Flame 4 is a rectangular map. You start at one end, destroying three Sealed Stones as you go. The map is split into four parts, with three Sealed Stones at three of the first three parts. It is impossible to enter the next part unless you destroy the Sealed Stone at the part where you are. At the end is not a Dark Orb, but six Efreets. Their melee attack makes them spin like a tornado for an amount of time. You hit it, you get damaged and you get bounced back. Their ranged attack shoots out three red arrows. Dangerous, indeed. If you stop to retrieve the treasure chests dotted around the field, greed shall be your downfall and you will be unable to succeed. [Edit: I remember my old strategy on this. We would all use the character Shamoo (who has high speed) and rush through this, ignoring the monsters and treasure chests, and just focusing on destroying the Sealed Stones (since we cannot proceed if we do not. A wall of fire will block your way and will only disappear if you smashed the Sealed Stone). We rush and rush, and finally, defeat the six Efreets which serve as the "boss" for this mode.]
Flame 5 is extremely difficult. One bunch of Efreets around the map, and you have to kill them all. They won't spawn, but the other smaller monsters will. After defeating the Efreets is the Red Dragon, being able to fly up, making it invulnerable, and drop "droppings" in the shape of flaming balls at the players. Very very difficult to succeed. (Edit: I just had to add this in: Flame 5 is renowned to be the hardest mode in Survival Project.
Dungeon 1 is where you have to navigate around a lame maze, against useless Skeletons and extremely annoying traps, to obtain a crystal. Dungeon 2 is no difference, except you have to kill every monsters too. (Edit: I still remember how annoying the traps in Dungeon 1 are -.-)
Dungeon 3, after obtaining the crystals and killing the monsters, are two Golems you have to face. One common strategy is to run to a distance, and while the slow Golems (which do not have ranged attacks, just two melee attacks) walk towards you, fire an extremely deadly and dangerous magic attack. Then run away and repeat.
Dungeon 4 replaces the two Golems with six Gargoyles as final bosses. They can make themselves temporarily invulnerable, shoot fireballs, and have a swiping claw attack. Six of them at once. You should watch how Yuchi goes against them. Wow.
Dungeon 5 has the final boss as a Balrog. It cannot move. Rather, it teleports. It disappears, making it invulnerable. Then it appears behind the player with the least HP. It has a swipe attack and an attack that injures all surrounding nearby players. You can only hit it when it appears for a short while. Activating scrolls make it disappear. Skeletons also join the fight, spawning endlessly. Killing them gives players HP, which can be a good thing, although one shouldn't kill the skeleton nearest to Yuchi, unless you like to examine the barrel of his flamethrower. XD (Edit: Lol, I forgot how much he used to flame me when I killed the skeleton he wanted to kill!! XD Oh, and in case you don't get it, your HP recovers by about one-quarter when you killed someone or something)
Forest 1 is lame. Kill every monster, and (I think) three Goblin Mages, guarded by Dark Trees and Horned Owls. Forest 2 has an Orc as a boss, with Goblin Mages, Goblins and Horned Owls. The Orc swings his iron spiky club like Alvida in One Piece does (Edit: lol, Alvida... XD). Watch out, you can get fling back a long distance. Forest 3 has (I think) three Orc Mages, who throw fireballs at you rather quickly, and several Orc Berserkers, with double melee attacks.
Forest 4 has two huge large Cyclops as final bosses. Yikes! Huge wooden clubs. And they swing it like the Beaters do when they get near a Bludger in Quidditch (Harry Potter). Unfortunately, you are the Bludger. (Edit: Lmao.) Forest 5 has a Dark Fairy as a final boss. Runs very fast, although she has extremely low defense. She has two attacks, one sends three balls of lightning that track and seek targets by themselves. The second attack fires lightning bolts 360 degrees around her. And when she is at half life, she summons two Cyclops. Bloody hell.
Another feature that attracts me are the Games.
You can play Soccer (my favorite Game), where you send the ball to your opponent's goal. The ball flies off when you hit it. You can also hit your opponents. (Edit: I think I should add this. The sole purpose of hitting your opponents is to stun them and give your team a slight advantage. Of course, unless you are an asshole who likes to keep hitting your opponents and piss them off. By the way, there is no HP in Soccer, you can't be hurt, damaged or killed by any attack, only stunned for an extremely short while) Some characters work rather well as strikers, some as midfields, some as defenders and some as goalkeepers. You play against players, in a one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three or four-on-four. Extremely fun.
Next is Racing. Simply, you race and whoever reaches the goal first wins. Almost everyone uses Shamoo, the fastest character, here. Players are split into teams, and the team which has the player who reach the goal first wins. Yes, entire team. Some teams have one person just rush to the goal while the others attack the enemies constantly to stun them (no health is deducted under an attack).
Third is Mole. A mole pops up, and you tries to defeat it. If you do so, you earn score for your team. First team to get 50 (used to be 100) wins. Golden moles gives more points when defeated, although they have more health. Hitting wooden stump gives negative points. Hitting red moles cause it to use an attack where surrounding players are unable to move (although still able to fire weaker ranged attacks).
Forth is Dodge. Snowmen are dotted around the map, firing snowballs, and you have to dodge them. Team with the player who last the longest wins. Players are unable to attack nor defend. This game requires concentration.
New games are added, such as Hockey, but they suck. End of story kthsbye.
I don't like PvP (Player vs Player), so I won't talk about it. Kthsbye.
Edit: Oh, what the fuck... Did I really have to go on and on about the different game modes? Oh well, give me a break, I was probably sad about SP closing down, and just had to type all that down, sort of as a memorial. I was probably high on alcohol too. Don't mind me. Thanks. :)
And now for the images!
These two pictures are glitches that occur in two separate games of Flame 2. The game is supposed to end when you destroy the Dark Orb, by the way.
Lava! A scroll allows you to walk past anything.
My forum sig, featuring my favorite character to use in SP, Xyrho. :P
I prefer this sig better, featuring my favorite characters, Xyrho and Hawk, in premium. 8)
Lag in soccer causes nothing to happen despite the ball being in the goalpost.
Edmond and me as Hawks.
Edmond and I fighting in Flame 4. Notice Eugene at top-left hand corner.
After being killed by the Dark Fairy, I, as a ghost, went to her and said "I'm a noob!". My Guildmates, after seeing this picture, is quick to notice that the Dark Fairy has become the Leader of the RCAlliance, lol. -.- Yuchi manages to survive rofl. XD (Edit: I meant he managed to survive in this game. If you looked more closely, he is the only survivor in the game, lol. But then again, there's only two of us playing...)
A wallpaper I made for the RCAlliance. Free feel to use it, rofl. Yuchi dislikes the fact that Vernon (who betrayed the RCAlliance) is in there. Yes, the same Vernon who goes around and say "I'm pro. I'm pro." like a stuck-up arrogant bastard. Yes, the same Vernon who spams my tagboard under the alias "Justice", which he is not fit to use. (Edit: Reminds me, I used to be rather rude and offensive to Vernon for betraying me in some stupid game. -.-)
That's all for today. I shall post about the ten characters available and my Guildmates. I SWEAR! :O (Edit: Here is that tribute)
