10:20 am	Rarely post but this was cool. I had a good night. To preface that, since I stopped a while ago I got mage to almost 48 and leveled my knight and de to 45. Tricky part was trying to get all new equipment since I only get to play an hour a day or so. Mage is a bitch because for some reason at 47 I died like 50+ times. Really discouraging to a player who can't stay on long periods of time. Anyway, I got mage and de to standard decent items. +5/+7 and almost 50 base ac which is good for me i guess. I still need ALA and Arobe but those are pretty far down the line it seems. However, I'm only posting because I had some great luck (for me at least) last night. I logged in and couldn't find my +5bcomr. It wasn't on any char on any account so I have no idea what happened. I was a little pissed and decided that I'd just make another. grabbed 7 bcomrs and bought a ton of zels. (this was actually all my money on hand) First Bcomr went +5. Sweet! What good luck for the night. I figured I had the zels so why not keep going? 2nd = +5... holy shit. lovely, now I actually made a profit! 3rd,4th = blows 5,6 = +5. 7th = blows 4/7 is some awesome odds. So I figured I had awesome luck and couldn't waste it. I sold everything that I could at the time to grab more zels. Shadow mask blew, tshirt blew, 2 more bcomrs blew, homr blew but I made a +5bcomr and +7EBP. Overall I had 5 +5Bcomrs and 7ebp. Put the ebp in storage and after careful deliberation decided I'd make a 6. Risky for babo players like myself. 1st goes +6. Yes! Quit right there and sold the rest. Made like 3m or so the entire night. excellent for me, it's the little things. Pictures, less words, more updates in future.

10:54 am	it's not enough? it's not enough that i get NO drops, EVER. it's not enough that i wait on losus for a full hour when some jackass teleports in and kills the ramia. it's not enough that i NEVER pk or pick on ppl. it's not enough that when i do have to kill, i drop 9 spells, +7sls, 2mm rings, +4 igloves/boots. What the hell I finally had a bit of change saved up for int ammy and then i lose 2m of stuff... awesome. and i'm still freakin chao. rock on. i hate this game.

2:36 am	still around Making wafers and lvling up animals as well as trying to set up base ac/wep. Managed to get almost everything and just about lvl 30. Dob and wolf are 20, starting rabbit/cat combo now. Pretty cool that they use magic especially when they're higher lvl. I'm excited just since it's a change of animal. Anyway, by the end of the week if I can stick to being bored as hell i should be set for ac. Need about 15 zels, 1 dai, and 100 iron. No biggie. Then rushing can stop and I can finally just hunt. It'll be nice. It's great playing knight again. More to come when things get interesting. ~Phil [Cut and print] (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:12 am	Wafers... Um yeah, so I practically live in EF. I decided I would make them only to take small breaks to start my newbie knight till i can get her full ac. Jesus christ, it's been 20 hours. So far i've built up a supply stash of braves,greens,reds,ojs,sosc,btele and a few other things as well as almost full base ac. 2 +6 weps. I figure I need pgs (which is UGLY on LOA) they're like 4.5m which is absolutely psychotic. And I still need irons and homp. I figure i can do everything but pgs by the end of this week. Sigh, i really don't want to devote all of next week just hunting ents lol. That's a crazy thought that I can fund my entire knight setup just by punching trees. Goodnight =) Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)
1:43 am	Amazing... simply amazing. As posted by me earlier today on the boards concerning Tank's thought on Lineage, I shared my own. http://boards.lineage.com/cgi-bin/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=Discussions&Number=483387&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&part= This really struck me the wrong way. I was kinda half-assed kidding around about the game's current situation yet it was not seen as that. I hate being censored especially when I'm definately not at fault or to blame. I pay good money for a game that screws me over, they provide message boards for what we have to say. Well I said it. What I wrote that was such a bad seed was: It's just sad. I could sit and reminisce much longer than i'd rather play the game. Pity, i'm still gonna stick with it though. Lineage is like the child in an abusive trailer trash relationship. We're the pathetic wives who keep coming back to our abusive husband (NC) to stay together for the kids (Lineage1&2). They beat us... but we love them so we're sticking by them till the bitter end (and i'm sure it will be bitter). However, this is life and so I'm done complaining. I still find redeeming qualities no matter how many times I'm hit with a beer can(nerfs) or slapped and told to shut up (bad updates). So be it =) Response so after which I'm almost positive will also be deleted hopefully not inciting a ban but still making my point known. It may seem stupid but for some reason I really really wasn't in the mood to get edited like that. "[Edited inappropriate non-constructive criticism.]" Wow, I didn't realize this was communist Russia. Thanks Kyzah *thumbs up*. I guess I was simply unaware that speaking one's mind about poor game quality had to include constructive criticism or nothing at all. I mean who would have thought that there would be message boards where users and game players could direct their thoughts and opinions? Silly me. Replace everything I said with Good Job. I do find it funny however that anytime suggestions or constructive criticism or bot identifying is mentioned, it falls upon deaf ears yet anytime, ANYTIME something offensive is uttered immediately it's picked up and weeded out soon to only be censored. That's killer workmanship. Seems you can get heard quicker and more to heart if you truly speak your mind... pity it won't be available for others to view. What a weak company. NC needs a backbone. They need to take responsibility for problems that occur or game changes that upset everyone. I mean what is the true goal of this game? Of this company? To provide a service to the public in the form of an internet game. In exchange for our hard earned dollars we get to play and in order to help you efficiently serve us as well as game players simply speaking their minds, message boards are available. After all the years of Lineage, I've always been more upset than how things are handled rather than what goes wrong. Everyone involved direct customers in a neverending loop of backwards doublespeak and re-routing departments. Frakly, I just don't see the point. I handle as much as I can myself, I ask for help in the rest which generally goes unchanged and when I feel the need to speak up, I'm silenced and shut down. To use another analogy if I may (which is funny since I obviously wasn't before). Support workers are the sales people in retail or corporations when customers complain or have problems they direct us to superiors or get a second opinion yet little do we know that they don't care either. Everything seems like an inside joke. Everything we say comes off as hilarious to those knowing that no matter how much we get annoyed or quit or flip out, they still get paid and the game goes on. It's extremely upsetting. /end rant, probably soon to be deleted anyway. I think Lineage needs a revolution =) ~Cut and print Current Mood: pissed off Current Music: Ahmed - Back in the day (Comment on this)

2:36 am	*Ahem* Lots of happenings. Went out of town and I've been playing a lot. however, it's been on Loa. With Blake coming back and the possibility for a new setup, I've decided to make the switch. Not necessarily permanent as I do miss my mage and pledgemates but that's what I'll be focusing on. I've been on it just about a week and probably got 3 20 or so chars with almost full base ac and weps. 90% of time is on elf banging away at Ents, creating items for bilsa and myself, but I have started my knight & DE. Did both 15 quests today which took forever on knight sein as how NO turtles wanted to drop me a shell. We went through so much mith... soooo much. probably 500 or so total. Not to mention brings and irons... oh the irons. Starting up again is always tricky but with a friend especially one like that guy, it's quite worth it. Plus it's been so long since I've had my knight as lead char and I like testing out DE. STR/Dex is hella fun even though the hp is gonna suck, he'll lvl quickly. Perhaps pictures if I get around to it. I take tons, just never use. Hope all's well in Lineage land. ~Cut and print~ P.S. ALL of this was done while I had/have pneoumonia, and let me tell you it sucks. Current Mood: sick Current Music: 311 - Transistor (Comment on this)

3:52 am	going great I hunted about 5 hours and got from 46.84 to 47.05.... figured i'd play it safe and go by what bilsa found out. you can hunt mlc1f and make decent exp. no joke. i was getting almost 3% per hour at 47. however, no lag the entire day and it comes right then.... 2 minutes d/c. even skeletons can kill you in that time. SO after all that work and hunting crazy crazy safe exp and STILL dying. I've had it. i'm gonna play new fucking chars on loa. see ya in a week when i cool down. this is bullshit. i lost almost 12% too and went down 1 hp. thank you nc. i was almost having a good time, way to keep me in check.

3:09 am	getting somewhere Haven't been playing too much in past few days. Was kinda discouraged from difficulty and having a bit too much painting. However I freed up a few hours tonight from 1ish to about 4 to play. I think by the time 4 rolls around I'll have gotten a bit over 10% and 200k or so. I did however *drumroll please* made a +7 som! The safe way of course but hell, it went and I was very happy =) {finish in a bit] (Comment on this)

2:47 pm	few days Ohhhh ok. Past few days have been full of finding bosses, getting annoyed and not killing/not getting drops from bosses, lots of odd drops, and d.c events. First off, been doing a lot more hunting again. Pushing and pushing even though there is trouble and a bit of lag, i'm going to do it whatever it takes. So some crazy Fv hunting was in order. Packed as always but I've gotten a few good groups Also, we had even more "fun" feuding with the Superman pledge. Seriously, I wish they'd just get over whatever problem they have with us. All the time our pledges are canceling each other and fighting. It's so annoying and distracting and we each gain nothing.       I'm trying to ignore them personally because it's so pointless. This nice little fight cost us a few members too. They were so frustrated that they decided to leave the pledge. Great. Well, I just hope they lose interest and maybe our members will give it another shot. Hopefully. I tried talking to the Superfolks after that but all and i do mean ALL are completely idiotic. Zefe, Kraken, the bunch. you would think people that have been playing for so long would be smarter but sadly this is not the case. I didn't get any drops but did fight and kill DK and Necro last night on 6 & 7f MLC which I've moved into to lvl since it's empty. Again adding to the complaint that now *really* tricky bosses don't drop crap. At least one person is happy. Recent DK upgrade Faethorx Current Mood: blah (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:08 pm	Great, so it's happening again A pattern if you will. Anytime I get a goal, for some STRANGE reason, when I get anywhere near it I begin to die.. and die... and die. Almost two weeks back and not a single problem with my connection. Last 2 days I've died 3 times. Highest I was at on Tuesday was 46.51.12 and now I'm down to 46.34.60. Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful. I first died in TOI, fine it's too hard when my connection is bad. I moved to DVC. Fine, still great exp for mage with shit items. Lag->death. Fine. I'll just do the last respectable place where I can kill everything and still make good exp. MLC 7f. Nope, lag on 5 cerbs with a couple KBBs and it's still enough to kill me apparently. I seriously don't know what to do. I'm about to shoot myself. Arrggh! This game drives people to madness. I'm gonna take a break me thinks and play a new knight on LOA. A good friend of mine and old face to the lineage scene is finally back and we're finally gonna split a char. He wants to try out LOA so I figure why not? It'll be a nice change of scenery. So we're starting from scratch. zero. Donations from those who might have left Loa or are rich beyond their wildes dreams are welcome =) Maybe I'll only money hunt on DI to get some items before trying to power lvl. Although without the bad connections I'd hit my goal quite soon. Pity it has to be giving me such trouble. ~Phil Current Mood: disappointed Current Music: The Doors - The End (Comment on this)

2:51 am	woot DVC hunting went better than expected. Thanks to a Dk pal. Pictures tomororow. Turns out i'll be ending the night with 45%. lil bit closer to my goal. Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)
1:16 am	short update Hunted in toi for like 3-4 hours... on one trip that was cool. didn't have 11f scroll or anything so we did 10. Not really good exp but the drops were alright i guess. fun hunt at least until i died soon after messing up my hotkeys again. not very good when you go to hit oj and your haste is recasteed... yeah. anyway, i made that up and a little more hunting with Fields who is KICKING ASS btw. Demon was up, became very crowded very fast so no drops. Then DVC (actually what i'm doing now, just regening). So back to it. I'll retire for the night when i get to 35%. this is taking forever. I figure it's because i have no wep. I need a 6sls. Hopefully i'll get something. (Comment on this)

10:11 am	Sigh Death last night. Ugh. My internet connection is still not perfect. I thought that since I hadn't been disconnected in the past few days it wouldn't ever happen. Sadly I was wrong. I died in DVC4f with a couple succs when it happened. This bites. Oh well, here's to getting it back and moving on right? Current Mood: 46.23.06% (Comment on this)

5:34 pm	*power lvling* I know it's not exactly what I'm doing and it's going somewhat slowly but hey, I've got no items and i'm a mage =) what do you expect? I've been pushing myself to just hunt. Just hunt. I started with this yesterday   With a few hours of hunting with Spyder1 (good fellow from the pledge of course) in FV I leveled to 46. Only 2 away! Then I broke up from him and let him go back to his crazy DK routine hoping we can do it again soon. Then I explored Kent again... ahhh it's been years since I've been in a pledge owning Kent. Memories hehe. Got a bit of money, almost completely paid Fields back the 400k I borrowed a while back for an som. And I got a lot of exp. Going as fast as humanly possibly. Not sure if I dig the new interface yet. I'm giving it a shot though. Trying to perfect it to mage standards although going back and forth between ctrl set 1-3 is tricky. Ended VERY early this morning with Current Mood: productive (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:02 pm	Back So I'm back. Missed the game, I figure after 4 years I should simply accept that I won't ever truly quit, stop sharing and STOP DELETING. So i'm sticking to it this time. No matter what. Dep only for life. First server, last server. Not the only one I played but the only one worth playing ;) Anyway, i'm sad to remember what I left with. Oh well, I can only go up. Did some FV, oren, Toi with pledge and Di with Ith from pledge. I love hunting with more mages. Dunno why. Anyway, we boss hunted and took out 4 or so with one dropping Bzel to TheDarkSage.  Now, he's not in Lineage but thank god he's a good man. He definately sold it and split the earnings with both of us 3 ways even! not just half for him and us splitting the rest. That made me pretty happy. This means Fields gets his 400k back that I owe him. Anyway, by the end of that long long day/night i left with . Not bad considering I have jack shit for items =) Gonna get 46 by tonight. It's already 11:20 but I figure what the hell. Then it's 2 levels till I can relax. 48 can be when I just money hunt and then start up knight again. Good 'ol Axo can make his comeback.

11:29 pm	Hey now Lineage has been lagging like a bitch lately so I haven't been playing too too much. past few days have been tricky with a nice twist at the end. I started hunting DI for a bit. Making some ok drops. Today was the kicker though. I was just about to get offline and I heard someone quitting. As always i wish them a happy goodbye and to my return he gave me a +6int book. Hell yeah! Rock on mister, thanks. I'm currently trying to sell it for a som. Another guy got his +6mage cloth and figured what the hell and zel'd it... well, he's selling a 7cloth now. Lucky him eh? Here's the picture to summarize the day. Ended up with +6 int book, about 12% gain, and 160k. Also, finally got +4 tshirt. Now if I sell the book, I can get som which will be a huge help i think. Maybe pick up an sls as well. Who knows? Now the big goal is 48 for kbbs to make the mage a money whore. Tomorrow, hopefully it will sell and then it's off to FV and TOI for pledge hunting and hopefully good exp gain. Current Mood: excited Current Music: Tenacious D (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:15 am	not too shabby Finally decided to play a bit due to my insomnia. it is my birthday today! yay, hooray. whatever. Did a bit of FV hunting, got bored, need money so I went to DI. Hunted about an hour and when summons vanished on me I had one zel. Hmmmm, not bad I guess. Still not very good though. Resummoned and went back to hunting. Killed a water spirit, and like 5 golems then died to another spirit >.< that big attack on me kinda hurt being that my mr%/ac is still horribly low and not recovered yet. Kinda funny though, got my drops from the guards when I was lying on the ground. Overall, it was fun. Ended with 3 zels and 1dai from about an 1.25 hours of hunting. That's good for me. Used the zels on the Int book and sold the dai to almost have enough for a bzel. I've never had one go +1 before so let's hope this one doesn't either ^_^ I'm debating whether or not it's better to hunt DI a while longer to build up some ac/money to get a som and then go back to hunting. Or power lvl to 48 for kbbs... I guess to power lvl you need some good items. *shrugs* we'll see. Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue (Comment on this)
