First of all, I hope you ll have enjoyed the new layout, the old one was ok but it was also getting into my nerves, part of the motivation to keep posting comes from the layout, so, this one is new and fresh and is about the upcoming throne… and I also loved the picture representing me and Wanft (Yeah, right! Sure… like a human male and an elf girl aren’t common at all)… I still need to change the forums, probably in the next few days, so it may me a little messed up sometimes, don’t worry that’s me going crazy xD

Well, the next big thing is the merge. What do you guys think of it? I don’t really have a problem, in fact, I enjoy the ideia of having more people to play with… I just want to know what will happen with name conflicts, after all, I still have a Maribel there… what if I delete it and someone take my name?

And, I’m still 51… my ISP is terrible on the past few days, there is a problem on the backbone, so I’m lagging terribly… I hope they can fix it before the weekend.

I was chatting with miz on msn the other day and she was like “guess who’s level 51?” and I replied “One of your characters? :P” and she said “No!.. You!” . All I can say is Wow!! I felt like my motivation to level up was disappearing, but she totally gave me a boost! Thanks a lot miz! Really.

And now It’s decided, I’ll only post screenshots again when I reach level 52! :D

Hey there! Thanks to everyone for not leaving this place in my absence, I really appreciate. Now that the presentation is over (a few other will come eventually, but the last one was one of the BIG ones…) I’m finally back to my old activities and of course, to gaming, I miss L2 and my clan a lot…so it is really nice to be back :D

Well, related to L2, since I did not had the chance to log in (updates over updates), I brought 2 Gracia new Wallpapers, I hope you like it:

And about other topics, I’m really excited about my Valentines Day present (huh? Valentines Day?! Yeah. in Brazil is on June 12th), I got this TV (LG 32LC4R LCD 32″) plus the HDMI cable to connect the xbox… awesome:

I finally got my hands on the Oath of Blood Soundtrack! (Yeah, that one composed by Inon Zur) A few songs were available to download on his website, (Click here to visit Inon Zur’s website) but to gain access to the rest of them, you had to order it from Amazon (As an imported product… which means $$$$$$$$$), but, if you want to listen the entire album, just say it on the chatbox and I’ll figure out a way to make it happen.

The songs are:
01 - Dream Of Peace
02 - Young Knight’s Bravery
03 - Depression
04 - Tragic Love
05 - Vengeance
06 - Lonely Wolf
07 - Joyous Festival
08 - Dark Conspiracy
09 - Falsely Accused
10 - Swear Fealty To The King
11 - Sorrow & Revenge
12 - Chasing In Darkness
13 - Hideous Witch’s Curse
14 - The Demon Reveals Itself
15 - Shout Of Victory
16 - Mysterious Cave
17 - Attack Of The Undead
18 - A Hero Someday
19 - Black Mass Of Demon Worshippers
20 - Eternal Love

Also if you are a fan of videogames like I am, I also got the Orchestral Game Concerts (5 Cds). These albums were made in Japan, and I believe the concerts were scheduled to happen all over the world. The 5 albums are great, there are songs like Mario and Super Mario Orchestraded, Zelda Theme, Star Fox, Lots and lots of Final Fantasy.

And last, but not least, I also got the album The Legend of Zelda - Hyrule Symphony, also orchestraded… brought back memories of the past… me sitting in the living room 3 A.M killing Ganondorf…

These (and the XBOX) were all my entertainment this weekend, my ISP was upgrading my bandwidth, so, no cookie for me… but I checked at home this morning… now it’s umbelievable amazing. Can’t wait to get home, I’m way behind on L2 lately. What about you guys? How was you weekend?

I was completely pleased with the following news:

Lineage II community, we hear you!

Lately, we’ve all witnessed a staggering increase in the number of Lineage II trial accounts that are being abused. As we all know, the purpose of a trial account is to give someone who hasn’t tried Lineage II before a chance to give it a test drive. Unfortunately, our trial codes are being used more and more, by individuals who are not true members of our community, in ways that harm the player experience. We have received an overwhelming number of requests from our player community to put a stop to this trial account abuse; so, we have made a reluctant, but absolutely necessary decision. As of today, April 29, 2008, we will greatly limiting trial account creation. Current trial accounts that have already been activated will be left active.

We will also be making some changes to how trial accounts can be acquired. For the time being, trial codes acquisition will be limited, but you will still be able to acquire trial codes via the Refer a Friend program. We will be monitoring all trial codes very closely. This is something that we believe will actually create a better atmosphere for our players in Lineage II and, especially since our community has requested this move, we are happy to oblige.

For those former and potential players who may in the future wish to use a trial code with the intent to simply try out Lineage II, though limited, trial codes are still accessible! You can get a trial code from an existing player via the Refer a Friend program. The Lineage II team will be monitoring this situation closely and will update our community on further developments and policy changes.

Thanks to our community members who report these abuses and do all they can to keep the game challenging, fair, and fun.

All that pms at the moment you log in were getting really annoying, i’m glad NC Soft will make a move about it, if on Gustin that is not one of the most populated servers, it’s crazy, imagine how it is on EURO servers.. or Bartz…

+1 NC Soft!

Here it goes, Kukish. The Divine Wizard Transformation. Kinda cool huh?!

So? How’s the Hellbound update to everyone?! To me is the same, lots of grinding and like every week after an update, lagging a lot. But i’m sure there are a lot of new things to enjoy, like the Underground Coliseum, the Fantasy Fun Island, the new transformations (the pic below is the Divine Rogue Transformation, if you want to see the Divine Wizard Transformation, pm me and I’ll post it here) and so on.

Oh, and after the Feathered Hat (that I’m still obssesed with…) I got a new one… the new Agathions!!! So cute xD I missed a lot on the PTS so I don’t know if only clan leaders can have it, because I saw somewhere that any player can get them now. Do you guys know something about it?

Sylvian’s Chronicles, a blog with the adventures of a fellow dwarf is a nice reading, specially for those who play on Bartz. If you enjoy reading blogs from players all over the world, make sure to visit this blog.

Beleth, Steel Citadel and The New Lvl Cap.. what do they have in common? Well, this:

Since the introduction of the high-level grounds called Hellbound in The Kamael, adventurers have been seeking a way into the deadly Steel Citadel and battle the epic boss Beleth himself. Now with the new update they have the chance they’ve been waiting for. After earning an extremely high level of trust from the Hellbound natives, adventurers will soon learn from them how to gain access into the Steel Citadel and the riches within—if they dare. In fact, players should make sure their characters hit the new level cap (Level 85) before going in.

(To read the whole article, click here )

Alright, i’d like to state that the following words are MY OWN OPINION as a player, NOT STRATICS… c’mon… lvl 85 sounds completely insane to me… 80 was crazy, now 85? At our xp rate? How long does a normal player will take to lvl up? Just to enter the Citadel (and probably die, because you’ll need more ppl who are crazy enough to reach that lvl).

I know that NC Soft had to add a purpose on the new level cap, otherwise it would be just like reaching level 80 (Everyone stops at 78…), but they should at least improve the xp rates a little bit… after all the Citadel sounds like a cool place, like a big challenge to complete…but right now i’m not that sure if it will be crowded… just my 2 cents…

It’s good to be back, for those who didn’t knew, I did a small surgery on a freaking tooth last monday… but it’s all fine (I still have to check it out the healing process and check a few things next Tuesday, but its minor stuffs), the pain is almost gone! Yay!! Even so, i’m back in the act again!

Oh btw, today was the secong giveaway of that masks, if you missed again, you still have a chance to get one next Friday 9GMT. Mine was added on yesterday’s maintenance, check how cool they are.

Last night i was on Gold, doing a good AOE with Fafnar, RingoRingo, Miz and our buffers (Bell and Cream). Fun! Tonight I’ll keep leveling the dwarf, Bell and Cream (Cream is miz’s SE). See ya ingame!
