The difference with other versions is that it has skill rings, which adds up to the challenge. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::Game Story::.. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ At the fringe of 'Galaxy-NGC1512', approximately 3000 light years away from Earth, an undiscovered star-system named 'Muracle' exists. 10 unique planets constitute Muracle. Each planet had developed its own civilization and unique culture in a peaceful environment. One day, unidentified organisms were detected in Muracle. The dragons from the planet Draconic who were in charge of monitoring Muracle took it upon themselves to examine these mysterious organisms. Upon initial investigation, they found nothing harmful about these cute creatures. While the examination of the new organisms was proceeding, people in Muracle started to raise these harmless creatures as pets. Some people even began befriending them; eventually those creatures were named Ohms for the purr-like sound they made. The Ohms were so readily tamed because they had lovely traits that the people of Muracle found attractive. Soon the Ohms multiplied and could be found everywhere. Some time later, Muracle was gradually losing its balance; the planet Eliten's scientists discovered that the Ohms were sent from Muracle's rivals the Geracle star-system. As the Ohms had been accepted as a part of society, they were easily found all over the planet. It was later found out that the people of Muracle became depressed and un-energized when the Ohms emitted their purring sound which were in fact low frequency waves. Knowing this the leaders from each planet gathered together and discussed a plan to free the planets from this crisis. Eventually they discovered that the planet O2 was the only planet that was not affected by Ohm's low-frequency emissions. They also discovered that Ohm's weak point was the O2 (Oxygen) generated when O2's people played in musical jam sessions. The leaders from O2 were requested to save Muracle from the crisis and to do this they formed a special team called the 'Muracle Rangers.' Their task was to liberate the other planets from the Ohms influence as quickly as possible. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::Requirements::.. | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ System Requirements OS: Windows 98/ ME/ 2000/ XP Recommended: Windows XP RAM: 64MB or above Recommended: 80MB or above HDD: 80MB or above Recommended: 1GB or above Browser: Internet Explorer 5.5 or above Recommended: Mozilla FireFox or Avant Browser CPU Standards: Pentium II 350Mhz or above Recommended: Pentium IV 380Mhz or above +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::The Guide::.. | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ A: Ok, so we shall begin our training. If you see an 'A' before any sentence, it means that I am talking, and you better listen to me. ..::Training program::.. Week 1: Your Start A: Ok, so you are a noob right now. Who cares? You will be good after this tutorial. Let's start. Here's your training program for week 1: +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | Day | How many times | What song level | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 1 |as many as you can | around 1 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 2 |as many as you can | around 1 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 3 |as many as you can | around 1 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 4 |as many as you can | 1 and 2 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 5 |as many as you can | 1 and 2 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 6 |as many as you can | 1 and 2 | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ A: By this time, you are now getting your first mission. Please check the mission guide for more details. If you received a notice for mission 4 between the days of your training, then go for it. Week 2: Noobs A: Congratulations on finishing your first mission. Now, after attaining level 4, you go straight to this schedule. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | Day | How many times | What song level | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 1 |as many as you can | around 2 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 2 |as many as you can | around 2 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 3 |as many as you can | around 2 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 4 |as many as you can | 2 and 3 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 5 |as many as you can | 2 and 3 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 6 |as many as you can | 2 and 3 | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ A: You might have the chance of getting level 8 mission here, if you play longer. Keep repeating this schedule until you reach level 10. Then you need to fight people. After that, you must attain level 15 for the next training program. Week 3: Not A Noob Anymore A: Yay! You're no noob now. You can start the REAL training process. Here's the schedule. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | Day | How many times | What song level | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 1 |as many as you can | around 11 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 2 |as many as you can | around 11 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 3 |as many as you can | around 11 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 4 |as many as you can | 12 and 13 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 5 |around 10 to 30 | 12 to 14 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 6 |around 10 to 30 | 12 to 14 | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ A: Take note, as much as possible, try to defeat a song of level higher than the mission requires. It may help you in the future. Week 4 - 10: Extreme practice! A: This might be your last training, depending on your skills. You can practically try any song you want. Oh yeah, be sure to buy some new songs because you will practically feel fed up with the free songs. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | Day | How many times | What song level | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 1 |as many as you can | around 15 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 2 |as many as you can | around 15 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 3 |as many as you can | around 15 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 4 |as many as you can | 15 to 20 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 5 |as many as you can | 15 to 20 | +-----------------------------------------------+ | 6 |as many as you can | 15 to 20 | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ A: You can try practicing on your own from now on, and if you took my advice in buying those songs, then good. Try them. In the level bracket 20 to 40, you can practice on these songs: "Have A Sweet Day" "Feel the O2jam" "Jinglebell Megamix" "Pit-a-pat Summer" "Blade" series... you know. "Mad Moon Sonata" If you want to practice accuracy, try these songs: "Milk Chocolate" Normal and Hard mode "Mad Moon Sonata" Normal and Hard mode "Go Hell" Normal and Hard mode "Zero-One" Normal and Hard mode "Eternity" Normal and Hard mode "%5" and "%10" Normal and Hard mode If you want real challenge, try the following songs: "[SHD] Electric Fantasy" "[SHD] %5" "Identity" Hard mode "Identity Part II" Hard Mode "Death Moon" Hard Mode "Phase 1" Hard "Black Water" "Gargoyle" "Earthquake" "Volcano" Also, a reminder. Try practicing different speeds. the most important speeds are x.05, x1, x4 and x6. If you are in it for the challenge, xR or x8. Week 11 - 21: Extreme practice! A: "10 weeks?! Are you serious?" You might ask me. Yes, 10 weeks. Training takes time, and perfection even longer. If you really want to 'always win' then do one of the following: 1. Create a single room, with is set as '13 more than' and higher than x4. 2. Create a vs room, with is set as '13 more than' and higher than x4. 3. Try to kill yourself by challenging high-level players (about 7 above levels higher than you) and try to beat them. hope that luck is in your side. The first choice lets you have the privacy. The second choice lets you have the exp and gems while practice. The third one either gives you honor or shame, depending on your performance. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::Mission List::.. | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Mission: Level 4 Mission Objective: Clear a Level 4 song or higher.

The songs are arranged in random order. Don't worry, I'll list the songs included here. Go Hell ...........................................................[GH] Identity ..........................................................[I1] Identity Part 2 ...................................................[I2] Identity Part 3 ...................................................[I3] DistroX ...........................................................[DX] Mad Moon Sonata ...................................................[MS] Tocatta and Fugue .................................................[TF] R3 ................................................................[R3] %10 ...............................................................[PT] In My Fantasia ....................................................[IF] Storm Over the Ocean ..............................................[SO] [SHD] Jinglebells Mega Mix ........................................[JM] [SHD] Electro fantasy .............................................[EF] End of Fight ......................................................[EO] Red Sign ..........................................................[RS] Gaussian Blur .....................................................[GB] Stunt Flying (O3 Remix) ...........................................[SF] Earth Quake .......................................................[EQ] Renegades of Hardcore .............................................[RH] Go Hell [GH] Artist: Red Pulse Levels: Hard (20) What to expect: 1. More notes on the left hand side, which can alternate. 2. Some seem-to-hide notes, specially near the chorus part. Identity [I1] Artist: SHK.O2Se Levels: Hard (34) What to expect: 1. Instant change in speed 2. Rapid button mashing, specially on the first parts. 3. Do not panic. It'll deplete your hand energy. You'll get cramps before you even finish the song. 4. The Machinegun part. Try to study it well. It's just a combination of 4 to 7 keys which are about 1/20 seconds apart. Identity Part 2 [I2] Artist: SHK.O2Se Levels: Hard (34) What to expect: 1. Crazier notes than the first part. 2. This song has more hold ntoes with it. 3. Apparently, this part has a lively tone. Identity Part 3 [I3] I haven't seen this yet. DistroX [DX] Artist: Red Pulse Levels: Hard (24) What to expect: 1. More notes on the left hand side, which can alternate. 2. Some seem-to-hide notes, specially near the chorus part. Mad Moon Sonata [MS] Artist: nao.paradigm Levels: Hard (23) What to expect: 1. Some crazy slides. 2. Even more crazier slides plus alternating notes. Toccata and Fugue [TF] Artist: Beautifulday Levels: Hard (29) What to expect: 1. Some crazy alternating notes 2. Instant tempo change, and there's one part that is super fast, then goes very slow. 3. Long notes + slides. R3 [R3] Artist: Kevin.O2se Levels: Hard (31) What to expect: 1. crazy slides + long notes 2. some long note combinations To be updated.... +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::Game Tips::.. | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ � It seems that I'm having trouble with other players. When you enter a room, immediately press F2 to select the yet-unused color, then F3 to click start. This will make the waiting shorter. � Practice makes Perfect, somehow. Practice and eventually, you'll get good. � Try to make a pattern of a part of a song. Patterns are made by knowing what note will start a combo in a part. Otherwise, MEMORIZE the song. � "Calmness is the Music of the Mind". Stay calm and try not to be frustrated by the notes, it will just make you do badly. � Try to hear the song better. It helps to push the button at great accuracy, � Try to look at the very top of the screen, and try to hit it perfectly without looking at the notes. This is for the Hidden Skill Practice. � Try to look at the very bottom of the screen, and try to hit it perfectly without looking at the notes. This is for the Sudden Skill Practice. � Try practicing with the Dark, Random, Mirror, and Panic Ring. It can do wonders. � One thing I find easier is to jam with the song. The song's are good enough for you to play with, so play along and you might go accuracy. � Accuracy makes the highest score. I'm an accuracy player, that's why I beat players whose levels are higher than me [for example, I'm 40, and he was 62. I beat him using %10, and he lost to me because I have more cools, less bad, less miss, and have a higher combo]. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::Frequently Asked Questions::.. | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Q: Why there are pills and what are their uses? A: The Pills appear when you get combos. They are used when there are BADS or MISSES. They prevent the combo counter from restarting. To use them, simply click them when you get a BAD or MISS. The pills located at the Upper Right side of where the notes will fall, although clicking them might be physically impossible. In O2jam PH and MY, pills are automatically used. Q: Why I always became a poring-like (Ragnarok Online Monster) figure? A: You are not trying harder. There is a "life system" in O2Jam. You play good, the life will not deplete, and play bad, your life will deplete. And the figure is an Ohm ^^_ ). The Life Bar is located at the right side of where the notes will fall, below the Pills. Q: Where is the BPM thing located? A: At the right side of the Song Selection screen. Q: I can't understand the controls! A: The controls are: ------------------------------ | | D | |spa | | K | | | S |---| F |ce | J |---| L | ------------------------------ These can be changed. Q: I'm lvl 10 and when I play a song there's no Gems or EXP earning! A: The game system is set to restrict EXP and GEM production in Single rooms at lvl 10 above. Try the VS room. Q; Some Hotkeys? A: F2 - change current color to unselected color. F3 - start game Alt+F4 - exit game Esc - cancel music selection F5 - In game only. Changes note shape F6 - In game only. Changes the note guide length. F9 - Equalizer ON/Off /w <character name> - Whisper to selected character /r <new room name> - change room name +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ | ..::Credits, Copyright, and Sources::.. | +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Thank You: E-games: for creating such masterpiece.
