Chatcast #3 — Christa and the Mind Behind the Chaos
Welcome back to another Chatcast — the text-based series where we sit down with some of the most unique and influential IdleMMO players.
Today’s guest is Christa, a name that needs no introduction. Known for her sharp mind, bold opinions, and signature style, she’s one of the most recognizable figures in the game.
Let’s dive in.
Origins
1. Where are you from?
I was born in Indonesia. My mom is Chinese and my dad is Indonesian. My mom passed away a few years ago, and now I live with my dad in Singapore while attending SMU.
2. How did you discover IdleMMO, and what keeps you playing?
I have two main games on PC and this one on my phone. I play idle games because they don’t take much time — perfect as background games.
This one stood out because it’s multiplayer. I like games where you can interact with others. I’ve played idle games since the old Kongregate era, and IdleMMO is easily the best of them. It’s like a supplement game for me when life gets busy.
3. How did you come up with your in-game name?
I forgot.
4. What’s your personal philosophy or quote you live by?
It may sound cliché, but I guess… just be yourself. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
Influence & Identity
5. You’re one of the most influential players in the game. What do you think makes people see you that way?
I'm a knight, and my name is automatically on top, so it stands out. Joke aside — same as above, idk.
6. Do you see yourself as a role model?
No.
7. Have you ever wanted to step back from the spotlight?
No.
Playstyle & Strategy
8. Your playstyle is quite different from others. What’s your usual approach?
I don't have any special strategy. I just do whatever I like at the moment and change it based on what's happening.
9. You seem to balance fun and optimization — how do you do that?
I focus on having fun, but while doing that I usually end up min-maxing or finding the most profitable path. Maybe it’s because my dad is a businessman — he likes to share his stories, and I learned from that.
10. Any advice for players chasing progress?
Never chase progress head-on. Invite it to come to you.
11. Any regrets in your gameplay journey?
No.
Coal Mafia & YOU
12. How did you get involved with the Coal Mafia?
When I was a newbie, I didn't know what to do, so I farmed coal 24/7 on all accounts. Then it became fun — farming, sniping cheap coal, reselling it. That's as far as I can go. I have a pact with the Coal Mafia and can't share more.
13. And how did you join YOU?
Because YGGDRASIL IS THE STRONGEST GUILD IN THE GAME, and I wanted to join the strongest guild. It's like a home to grow stronger every day and search for a new world.
14. Is there anything behind the scenes about YOU that outsiders might not know — something you can share?
People don't realize that our hierarchy is way above theirs. We make decisions based on whether it benefits us or not. The only reason you can win against us is because we let you.
15. Do you think power or morality guides your guild’s decisions?
No. We make decisions based on intrinsic value.
16. What do you value more — loyalty or results?
Neither.
💬 Thoughts on the Game
17. What’s one thing you’d change in IdleMMO right now?
Delete alts. It's cringe.
18. Any criticism or wish for the developer?
I hope Mike will fight his fear of inflation and remove all the unnecessary gold sinks in the game. That's my single biggest criticism.
19. Do you think he will?
Yes — if he removes his fear.
20. Funniest moment you’ve seen in the community?
When Catius got banned for posting his food.
21. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to new players?
Only level up skills that you think are necessary at the moment.
Personal
22. What’s one misconception people have about you?
People think I'm a weeb. I cosplay, watch anime, and have an anime pfp — but that doesn't make me a weeb.
23. Describe IdleMMO in three words.
Best idle-multiplayer game.
24. Favorite in-game emote or expression?
boop2.
25. Final words for the readers?
To get rich like me, you have to have an Asian brain. Why would I ever buy an Earth Destroyer Pickaxe that takes 5 years to pay for itself?
You also have to learn to scam. One time I was trading with Merethyu — I offered gold, he added his item, and I reduced it by 5% before he noticed. He didn’t. That’s how you win.
