Somev kits are available for throaway prices now... Get them while you can... XD

Easy. Don't buy paints.

The only problem is change... XD. We're used to paints being protections so it's kinda hard to digest the prices. But now, paints are just cosmetics. Something for rich players to spend on. The main thing is modules which are priced quite nicely. Once we get the idea that we don't need paints anymore, I guess most of us will accept this update.

Yeah. That's Legacy Module.

Well, going by the paint prices, I'm happy I bought Hohloma... I have at least one good looking paint now... :p

I guess they're monetising on cosmetics this way.

Around 3.5 hours left.

There will be some kind of premium module, obviously. They won't take away the premium advantages.

One thing I can say is that No Reload hack works (or did work back in 2014). I tried it on my own account, took a video and reported it to Help Desk. They wrote back saying that hacks have been patched up and don't exist. Well, I had some more fun with the hack (it actually set every parameter including reload time to 0...Sk basically I had 0 crystals and was doing 0 damage to players. Not a very good hack.. XD), but I deleted it later on to avoid landing up on trouble. I don't know whether it was patched up later or not. But that was the only one of the two time I've seen a hack work (The other one was a jump hack.. I saw someone in Monte Carlo do it... But that was long ago).

The Sand Falls Note: This story is a Part 2 of a series. Please read the previous parts before reading this one. Part 1 26th May, 2016: A generic IT office, Gurgaon Arya yawned rather loudly staring blankly at the screen. He couldn't care any less since he was the only one working overtime in his department that day. In the back of his mind, he cursed his colleagues for messing up a simple report. The next day was a holiday which combined with a weekend, made up for a highly optimistic mood for most people. "Finally! Done! Now for some much needed sleep!" As he was about to shut down his computer, for a fraction of second, he thought he saw a mail marked 'Urgent'. But as the shutting down process commenced, he put that though away. "After all, who would send an urgent mail after closing hours?" "No.. No.. Not Oriya! A-R-Y-A! Arya!" He sighed. His British accent did not help in this place. Even months after moving to India, he still had to catch up on the accent. He connected his phone to the wi-fi while sipping the overpriced coffee. 'Unread Mail: James'. Memories flooded his mind as he opened the message from his old pal. 'Where are you?! Have been trying to contact you since yesterday! Something bad has happened to the old geezer. He's critical! Has requested our presence. I'll be on flight for next few hours. Please contact me ASAP! ' 28th May, 2016: Heathrow, London Finally! Nothing like London air to refresh our friend. On the other hand, though, Arya couldn't afford to enjoy his old hometown. The traffic was quite clear. Something he hadn't experienced in a long time. He got down at the hospital and raced to the reception, "Arya Agarwal. Here to see Professor John McGrathy." The receptionist looked at him for few seconds, as if wondering whether this unkempt man had any ulterior motives. Pushing any thoughts aside, she glanced at the screen and said in a monotonous voice, "Room 54, 6th Floor. Take the elevator on the right." Giving an obligatory thanks, Arya proceed to see his old history professor. 15th August, 2002: Oxford University A lean and pale looking boy sat in the library reading possibly the fattest book available. His tall athletic friend didn't seem to like it and it was clear by his periodic scoffs. "Arya! 'nuff of that now! You've spent the whole afternoon reading that ancient text! What's the point of it, anyway? You're a Computer Science student not History!" Arya scowled. "I suppose your life revolves around nothing but Maths, James?" "Hahaha.... I get your point. But you seem to take things too far." "Well, Indian history in particular has a lot of points which rather pique my interest. Anyway, it's getting late. I have a very busy evening. I'll catch up with you later." James gave a smirk, "Who's the lucky girl?" Without looking back, Arya replied, "Microsoft PowerPoint." 17th August, 2002: Oxford University Arya knocked on the heavy oak door and waited for a reply. "Come in". The old man smiled as he walked in, "Arya Agarwal! I've been waiting for you. I suppose you have no idea why I've called you?" "Frankly, Sir, no. I don't. " " I noticed you have a deep interest in History.. Indian History, to be more precise. " " Mysteries, Sir. I like to read about mysteries. " " That is good. Tell me, are you familiar with a Professor AK Sengupta? " " Of course, Sir. He's the one who introduced me to ancient history. He was our neighbour back in India. He had many twisted theories about various historical events. They were interesting to me as a child, but most adults did not like to entertain him. " " Well, Arya, Prof. Sengupta was a close friend of mine from back when we were in college. Regrettably, he recently passed away. He ingested some kind of poison. Anyway, the police is investigating all that. I'd like you to do me a small favour here.. " " I can't interfere with police matters, if that's what you mean, Sir " " Oh, No! Nothing like that. Actually, he contacted me a few weeks ago. He said he was onto something. Something quite hush hush... He said he was going to post some papers which, haven't arrived. I'd like you to go and get those papers for me. " " Uh... I will be going to India at the end of this semester. But.. Um... " " Oh don't worry about anything. Those papers are in a bank locker. I have the details with me. You won't get in any trouble. And I can promise you a deep and intricate mystery if we get those papers. " The professor gave a wry smile, knowing that the fish had taken the bait. 24th June, 2003: Oxford University James stormed into the room, running frantically and out of breath...." I.... I've got it!" McGrathy got up and offered a glass of water, "Easy there James.... Here, sit down and relax." "I've got the code, Sir. At least the first part. The numbers form a logarithmic series. If we take the Euler's number as the common base and apply a shift in geometric progression, we'll get various different sets of numbers. " Arya took the sheets and started analysing the numbers. " Good job, mate. We're getting some where now. " McGrathy looked quite disappointed. " We just got more numbers now." James smirked, "Yeah.. But now they're in a pattern and make more sense.. They'll probably correspond to some characters." "It's definitely not English. Since this code originated in India, it could be Hindi, or Sanskrit. ", Arya said, looking up. McGrathy looked at the clock, " If that's the case, you can leave it to me. Both of you should go now. I won't disturb you for next few weeks. Prepare well for your exams. We'll continue this later." 28th May, 2016: The London Bridge Hospital Arya greeted James with a warm smile. " What happened?" "Some kind of accident. Heavy internal bleeding and Organ damage. Chances are pretty slim. " " Oh dear! Why did he call us, though?" "I don't know. Maybe something to do with our secret project?" The light above switched off and a group of doctors came out. "Are you people related to McGrathy?" "Yes" "I'm sorry. He couldn't make it. There was just too much damage. He managed to say some last words though. He's left some papers for a Mr. Arya Agarwal. " " That's me. " 30th May, 2016: Oxford University " WOW! There are a ton more papers than what we left him with! " " Did he decode everything? " " Seems like it.... Oh, here's a letter addressed to us. " " Dear James and Arya, If you're reading this, I am probably missing or worse, dead. The codes are worth far more than what I had initially speculated. The mystery is deeply connected with the Mughal reign in India. I still have no clue as to what all this leads to, but I am sure that I am not the only seeker. Many of the players won't stop at anything to get to the end. Fortunately, I hold the major keys. The numbers which James decoded led to various sites in India. I tired to visit them personally but it was an unsuccessful venture as my Visa was denied. The clues are all in front of you. If there is any mystery worth solving, this is it! Yours, John McGrathy " James looked awestruck, "His death.... His death is related to this thing?!" Arya nodded. James said, "We should hand this over to the police! It's a murder!" "You think they'll believe this tale? Ancient secret... Conspiracy theories?! " " Well, what do we do then? I'm no Indiana Jones, if you're getting any ideas in that funny little head of yours. This is serious matter! If you want to die, go ahead! I don't want any part of this! " Arya smirked. James knew. His eyes opened wide. Whatever he was seeing, it wasn't of this world! The light was blinding. He could feel the pure energy emanating from it. There was nothing more to be done. He let himself be consumed by it.

8 hours?! Wow! Biggest update since rebalance in 2012...

Um.... Hi?

I've never heard of Number 2. Never. Objectively speaking, more number of people know @Lhamster or or @Issho_Fujitora then Darren4Turbo. I don't get the basis for this list.... What is it based upon?

As for the first issue, I am 18 years old and manage to do it. Two words: Mobile Data xDYou need a credit card to make payment. I have made it using an HDFC credit card once so that's definitely allowed.

Statistics will be released on Saturday.

Saw it late.... ._. Btw, Issho, if you smell anything fishy, @sanskar123456789 is my brother, not my alt. Just in case you notice anything suspicious. XD

It will likely be postponed by 24 hours. You can go to sleep. :p

Well, many of the tracks inspire trance like state... So, you never know, it might appeal to your thinking... :ph34r:

Here, listen to this playlist .

The rewards have already been sent. If you didn't receive yours, please contact @Issho_Fujitora

It's supposed to come at a set time. If it doesn't, it's probably a technical error. So no point on either refreshing continually or ranting about it. :P Please have some patience. We'll hear from Issho soon.

K.. Guys, don't flood like last time, please. Let's wait for it.

:( Goodbye, 3vil Dictator #BlameNS
