Active Malaysian Guild & Servers

shahmetal — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 10:51:09 +0800

Hey as the title says, anyone could give information on which server will have active Malaysian guild(s)?

Yesterday out of curiosity I wanted to test this game, and managed to get the trial version. I may or may not play seriously, but at least if I want to play for awhile I wanted to progress in a server that I may join other people. Currently in Aether (NA) - Midgardsormr, but it's only a level 5.
Second question, at which server level I could meet each others? It has three level (like NA-Aether-Midgardsormr) as I saw. Is the player base unique at the lowest level, or I could still meet each other if we're all in NA for example?
Lastly, is there any other community social media that I could join, like Facebook or Discord? Found few FB links in this forum but they are all dead (or closed).

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I am taking this opportunity to share my recruit code:

WSKSZZBW

What you will get by using my code?
BOTH of us will gain rewards. These are rare currencies only obtainable via this campaign
Me: Gold Chocobo Feather. Could be traded for mounts and dyes.
You: Silver Chocobo Feather. Could be traded for weapons and armors.

Both will receive emotes, XP boost below level 25, and aetheryte ticket (basically free teleportation to cities) based on days of subscription. Yay trial version not eligible I guess.

Here are the details:

I wish I used this code when registering, at least I got the silver feather to get the weapons and armors earlier.

Selling all my unit trust at CIMBClicks

shahmetal — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 00:17:11 +0800

Hi all,

I just invested in one of the fundhouse provided by CIMBClicks a year ago. To redeem partial of the unit sold below the minimum holding amount is pretty straight forward . But I am wondering, if I am about to sell my entire unit, is it possible to do via CIMBClicks also? Or is it not possible and I need to go to CIMB branches?
How about M2U?

Thanks in advance

Investing KWSP to Trust Fund without Agent

shahmetal — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 17:28:45 +0800

As the title suggest, is there a way for me to invest my KWSP Account 1 directly to Unit Trust without meeting any agent? I'm the type who love to manage everything myself, study myself, and do not want to waste my time hearing an agent babbling about this product, that product, and how my decision to invest is great, blablabla. If there is a way, I would like to know.

Is there any online method (such as buying unit trust from M2U or CimbClicks, but this one is using my cash money)?

Or should i go to the unit trustee branch offices? Where should I go first? KWSP or Trustee office?

Or it's simply not possible without agent?

Maybank's Wadiah Savings Account vs M2U Savers-i

shahmetal — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 17:19:43 +0800

So I have a Maybank account for ages, which is confusingly named "Wadiah Savings Account" as my main bank account. Then I stumble upon this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybank2u Savers-i
A Shariah-compliant online savings account that based on the contract of Wadiah (guaranteed custody). It provides the convenience of opening, accessing and closing your account without visiting a branch.
Minimum Initial Deposit:
RM250

Minimum balance to maintain:
RM250

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And my current account description is this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Savings Account-i
A Shariah-compliant savings account based on the "Al-Wadiah Yad Dhamanah" (guaranteed custody) principle
Indicative Hibah Rate:
0.40 - 1.75% p.a.

Minimum initial deposit:
RM1 (Trust/Minor/Student accounts/Accounts for settling monthly instalments)
RM250 (Adults)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Out of curiosity, I tried to open an account under the Savings Account-i with only RM1 using the online application. Well it does allow me.. but question remains: What is the difference, aside from that it stated as an "online account" despite the normal account is already online? How could it offer a better rate just for being "online"? I do not think this is a fixed deposit, because looks like we could withdraw anytime. Anybody that could shed some lights to me?

Just for reference, here is the "non -i" version of interest rate for the account Maybank2u Savers (the "-i" version did not have any interest rate:

New Balance Minimus 20v5 Training shoes

shahmetal — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 10:04:52 +0800

Anyone knows where to get the New Balance Minimus 20v5 Training shoes in Malaysia? Couldn't find it in their brand store in Sunway. Not even in their website. If you know any online seller would also be great.

Repairing PC Speaker Wire/Cable

shahmetal — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:16:52 +0800

I believe this problem is quite common, speaker starts to malfuntion or only one side of the speaker is functioning due to faulty wire/cable. Any place you guys know where to send for repair? I don't have experience using solder except from Kemahiran Hidup classes so I don't think I want to do it myself.

I use Creative 2.1 speakers.

UniFi Suspended But Bill is Still Being Charged

UniFi Suspended But Bill is Still Being Charged

shahmetal — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:38:45 +0800

Hi forumers!

Anyone here experiences this? My bill has been suspended due to unpaid bill. I'm still fine at this point, because it's my own fault. But what really upset me is they still charged the bill for last month, even I have no more Internet connection and HyppTV. When I call, they say that is their policy, they could suspend any time they want but still charge me as per usual.

This is bullshit since they expect me to pay for non-existing service. I even say if it is because of my contract, then just provide the service and accumulate my bill amount as per usual.

Anyone has the same issue? If yes how do you take action? This look like a fraud for me

Computer tends to restart by itself

shahmetal — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 10:48:29 +0800

Hi all, could somebody help me here?

My problem is simple: My PC keeps restarted by itself randomly. I am pretty sure it is not motherboard or RAM, since I just changed my mobo and has tested my RAMs on other system. Also, it is not a virus since it could also happened just after I formatted the system.
My suspect is, it has to be either the PSU or the harddisk itself. Are my assumption correct? Could this two contribute to random system restart?

Last time it was less frequent, now it started to occur more. I am planning to buy a replacement, but I got to be sure which is the defective one.

BTW for reference this is my specs:

AMD Athlon X2 64 3600+ (Windsor)
MSI 770T-C45
4 x 1 GB Corsair at 800Mhz
MSI Nvidia GeForce 7300GS
Two harddisks
One DVD-RW drive
430W CoolerMaster PSU

As you can see, my PSU is not that good, but still my system is not that demanding.

Any help?

Proxy Avoidance

shahmetal — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:34:19 +0800

HELP!!!~

Anyone out there that know proxy avoidance that don't pop up million of ads?? Well in my office, seems like the IT department has done a great job of detecting web proxies. Most of the popular ones has been blocked. I also subscribe to one of proxy avoidance mailing list in Yahoo to get a new list of proxies. And guess what? Even the new ones are blocked. I suspected they subscribe to the mailing list too, and just block them when they released a new address.

I happened to find a proxy that somehow can get through all that filters, but it is litters with annoying ads. Everytime I enter, or click a link, a numerous pop ups will appear. And firefox internal pop up blocker only catches a few. To install a third party software to block the pop up?? No. This computer is so ancient, it is so slow even to have more than five browsers open at once.

One I currently using is swanbike.com, and if you take a look and do some searches, you will found out it is similar to thousands of proxy avoidance out there. I suspected they used the same coding/exactly the same site with different URLs to fool the IT departments. Well like I said, the problem is they produced a lot of pop-ups, and with this ancient computer, it is more than frustrating. So, anyone out there that can show me ways to have a good time playing thecrims, instead of a screen appearing and then says "This site is filtered as Mature Content. Please be aware that you are blah,blah,blah..."? (WTF 'Mature Contents'??? That is "online game" you dumbass)
