Idle gossip !!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick news round up from carebear Ken,

Lastavard pledge hunt

Firstly Welcome back milla. She has not been very well recently, however is back on the road to recovery... nothing is more soothing then playing lineage :P

Me, Syni, Milla and conal went to Lastavard trying to find our past the genrals that lie beyond... After numerous attempts to kill Laia we have decided that we do not have the right tools to beat her down so out attention has turned to the slave king !!!

He hits HARD !!!!

Our first attempt was not as good as it could have been after a bad pull.... pulling a pull with about 5 other mops is never a great idea.... somehow we got out alive ^^, not sure how but we did.

Then back in for round 2, after killing most of the spawn pockets first time round we quickly navigated back to the slave room and got a much better pull this time, however after 10mins of beating his arse he was still standing and with neither mages able to cast on him we retreated.... this time we were not so lucky and felt the full force of Slave :(

I am coinfident that after the re-roll when I roll int we will have a much stronger chance of beating him unless NC beef up the bosses again :(. For the time being we either need 2 elfs or another tank to take him down as we are just can't seem to out do his regen and beat down his 16k HP >.<

We will be back Slaven !!!!

Has he has'nt he ?

There are some rumblings going on in the Credance camp and after sk8's desire to take a break for a while... I think he summed it up well in this little caption.


I have no idea what he is up too but "he looks like one'o dem sneaky types to me" ha ha !!!

Maybe I will be lucky enough to find one of the "golden tickets" when I next buy a willy wonka bar :D.

It is good to see him back...... I wonder how long it will take cosa to sneak back into the US from mexico after her "holiday" in mexico. I hope for her swift return too !!!

Chance the fence and the mine field..... swimming is too well guarded o.o !!

Zyxial is bored !!!

It looks like after a long time Zyxial is finally quitting lineage.... He is certainly one of those marmite people i,e you either love him or hate him and I have to confess that I have had my fair share of run in's with him, however he is a lineage institution and is the highest level legit mage Ken has.

This made me laugh anyway.....

Syni hits level 50 !!!

Grats to Syni who crawled to level 50 after a serge from 60% to 100 in a few weeks :)

I had great delight in saying that 52 is the new 50 (lol!) :P... but he still hits pretty hard o.o

He is going to be mean when he hits lev 52 !!!

Well done you you deserve it :)

Coronis Quits !!!

After Milla's bout of ilness Corro has seen his life come into focus and the original Lin addict has gone on sebatical. He asured me it is temporary until the stat re-roll comes, however he is selling is sayha bow.... so I am not sure he is coming back.

Coro.... we miss you !!!

Make sure you come back soon :)

Unfortunatly this means that my blog needs to become more informative (yuk!)..... Gossiping is so much more fun !!!

Anyway I will see what I can publish about the up and coming ring enchants that are on the way... I have a feeling the ring market is in for a real shake up !!!!

Lyz Still loves Ken

I have been slow with updates as I am having so much fun with 52 at the moment, however I can always make time for our special Super GM Lyzira :)


Trying to work out a time/date I can fit in with uni to have a chat but the interview is happening soon !!!

Hitsugaya loses race to level !!! Joe Levels to 52

After a 15% headstart and swiftly closing in on the next level hitsu just did'nt log on few quite a few days giving me an opportunity to gain some ground and eventually overtake him and win.

This means that I get to title hitsu for 1 month with what ever title I want and the title I have chosen is.... well go and see for yourself :)

Once again that window I thought I would never see finally came up..... After an exausting few weeks of grinding I finally crawled to 52.





I has taken me about 4 weeks to level up which is not particually fast, however most of that was done in large chunks as I have not been able to play much. As you can guess I went for int and 20 int is a lot nice then 16 I can tell you that much.

Dire wolfs are very strong and so much better then gargs and also the DK poly is tasty... very tasty :D

Thankyou to everyone who helped me on the way especially protein who supplied me with a lot of TU scrolls to give me a little boost to get to the finish line.

Thankyou to everyone who put up with me in ToS and for the encouragement.... Dreadlord you can't be far away now.... your monitor see's more of you then your bed !!!

A lot of people help me and continue to do so and it is really appriciated, I hope I have made mersia proud.

I have no plans to see 53 anytime soon so I can just relax and enjoy some hunting with conal :)

N.B Syni is closing in on 95% GO GO GO !!!

Heine Siege

I have not been to many sieges recently, however if I see some action I will usually turn up to take a peak at what is going on. I was getting bored of hunting so I went to see what was going on in Heine.

Troje was the current owner of the castle and X11 were attacking. I was lucky enough to catch some of the action and not get attacked by X11... which I was quite thanfull for since I have not been in there good books for some time now.

Earlier in the week there was a thread started about the best PvP pledges and X11's name came up... un-surprisingly. There opening skirmishs resulted in one of the SLM elfs getting ended. and repelling some strong attacks from SLM/rings.




X11 held there own and justly proved that if pledges went 1 on 1 very few peldges would cross them on the battlefield !!! Go and take a look in the forums it is quite a clean thread... unless you have " people who do that for you" ha ha :P


SLM where amassing more and more supprt as the siege went on X11 continued to repel the attacks for a number of waves as X11 emphasised there ability to work well as a balances team they asumed defence formation in front of the bridge.



No seige is complete without a bit of trash talk. I used discretion this time since the 2 mages at the back refrained from double destroying me !!!

X11 retired after a number of waves knowing they proved then can hold there own, with no apparrent intention of wanting the castle they retreated back to hunt. SLM moved in on the tower and ensured that the castle was safe for the remainder of the siege.



I find it tough to keep up with who is on who's side nowadays with some noobclub helping X11. All I can try and do is speak to people from both sides to try and get the full story. It was a fun siege and the first I have been to in a while. I hope I will get a chance to do it again soon.

Bits from around the server

Bot Watch !!

Right best way to start.... Bot end pictures



No pain "no Gain" ha ha..... yes ok that was bad !!!

Christmas is a time for giving and being generous !!!!

Syni likes his pets !!!

I have not been visiting the poly lady as much as I should do one of these days I will get dopel poly instead of unbrella lady or lich. I went the other day and got a tiger which could cast and attack.... it was'nt the super fast one though :(.

I love the way the tigers head bobs up and down whilst it licks it's paws !!!




You can imagine what this looked like ;) !!!

(Almost) Farewell to a good friend

Earlier in the Week Kossar decided to blow all of his items in an elaborate attempt to give up the game. He said he wanted to get banned as well.... good luck with that I have no idea what you have to do to get ban round here...

Swear on global - slap on the wrist
Bot/cheat - Get a hug/pep talk from mon !!
Change you name to something rude - Get 5 mins of fame on global but still no ban >.< class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lil off about trying to quit lin...I can't fault him for his logic (below)!!! (lol)

The funniest thing is that normally when people pop all there stuff at least one of the items goes and extra +1..... no such luck, ALL WENT POP :((

Times are hard !!

I often question my princes tactics when he manages to gain a new recruit. Classics such as FeverNova and Nellawafers have left me wondering where he gets these people and what he says to them. My concern it seems is not misplaced....


Sutsuki who is one of justi's better recruits gave us this little nugget !!!!

I can just imagine the conversation...
New recruit: I want to join a pledge
Justi: I am a prince, join me
New recruit: Is your pledge good
Justi: I am a prince, join me
New recruit: What is the name of the pledge
Justi: I am a prince, join me
New recruit: Do you go on pledge hunts often
Justi: Look.... type /join it will bring up a help screen and make you level twice as fast.
New recruit: *types away*
Justi: Wohoot, welcome to the pledge. I got to go I got owl bears to kill !!! have fun
New recruit: What is the name of the pledge again ?
Justi: Must..... Killl...... Owlbear !!!

It all makes sense now..... hmm I sure hope justi does not know command /kick :\

Beware of GayPower !!

You have been warned !!!

Sk8 and Cosa have Quit !!!

It looks like the famous Duo are not no more. After a heated discussion they BOTH decided to take a break from Lineage. Either that or they have run off into the sunset together.

I will certainly miss them both they have always been really really helpful when ever I have had questions and have always made time for me :)

I wonder how long until the 2 hardcore lin players turn cold turkey ????

I hope they return back soon... I miss you both !!!

Valentines Event

Soon after the fall out that was "OrcHunter-gate" NC buttered us up with a mouth-watering double exp event... A sure winner in everyones eyes.

Normally I would try and get some screen shots of the people who leveled up during the events but would not have been enough people to make something meaningful.

We got Valentines cards to send to "our loved ones".... So for me that is Milla and Syni ha ha ha !!! Syni's card was very amusing !!!

I only got a chance to take part in one day of the even and went about getting as much exp as possible after putting in about 10% I was still short by the end of the event by 4% :'(.

This is the sort of thing that makes me smile, we did not have to take to the forums in numbers to complain about valentines event (or lack there of). it was announced in good time in the right proportion - Well done NC !!!

I am looking forward to the next event already... I am sure this will be around the same time as they drop the next update on us !!! Excited already !!!

The "Christmas" event draws to a close

Well It seems that after a lot of complaining about orc hunters the much sought after antlers were kinda worth it, if only for this cool picture you get for turning in Rudolfs Antlers.




+7 Str, Iron Skin, extra long haste,shield and BW all made quite a nice little buff. the problem we have in lineage is that they think that in the past events have come few and far between so everyone feels that if they miss out they will never get another opportunity.

This is soooo wrong... we have an awesome GM who is not only kicking bot arse but has also pledged to give us events on a frequent enough basis to get us out of this 2 events a year mentality.... this is further supported by people willing to take time of work for events. I loved Lyz's response of....

" If you took time of for every event this year you will no have a job for long "
- Awesome !!


The Poly Spellbooks were introduced into the game with devastating effects... I am not talking about the fact that any high level mage can turn most chars into a milk cow/floating eye. No I am talking about the moaning like a little girl at how the game is unbalanced and the spell needs changing !!! ha ha !!

I wonder if the voices would mute if every mage petitioned for knights to have soft ac like every other class !!!!

They have certainly made sieges a very dangerous place, but the spellbooks are still based on level/int/luck and lets face it any high level mage is already dangerous enough. I am sure that we will see these spell books in another event sometime soon which should add a little more balance.

Suffice to say I am not looking forward to being a millk now o.o

I also witnessed something very surprising and I have to applaud Oin for doing this it cracked the final days of the event wide open.



Take a bow Oin... you deserved it !!!

This made me laugh as well.....


Ha Ha..... I think everyone should be made to do the Gludio to kent run by foot before they get given armour :P


The event for me was less about the event mops and more about the int snow rings that allowed me access to 7-12% exp days. I was lucky enough to guess that the orc warriers spawned every full moon and full sun on day 2 whilst I was not able to take advantage from this myself Coronis and Dakeebler elf snagged 7 orcs in the opening stages ( no Polly book though!!).

After people got more and more aware of spawn times and places we did not really get a sniff after that... although I went to TI from time to time the bases were already covered.

Thankyou Corro and Keeb for my antlers :D

Overall the event was quite good fun, I would supplement my normal hunt with the odd Santa sock and nip over to TI for the orc from time to time. I do not think that this event set the place alight, however I do think it is a sign of the good things to come!!

Mr Milk Cow Anyone ???

Wireless sucks

My race got off to a decent start but was not helped by 3 d/c deaths, despite that I still managed to get to 60%.... a 15% headstart is a huge lead, I guess I will just have to do as much as I can.... I should be heading towards 65% but dc's are expected with wireless connections I guess.

I also got checked by mon last night


It is good to see they are checking people :)

I'm back

Hi everyone,

I have returned after my few week break and I am now at university. I have gone from a trusty cable connection to a dodgy wireless connection which is a bit crap, but at least it works... just !

Connection or not I will be dammed if I can find one of the blighters !!!

It is suggested that the huntewr has several static spawn spots which are now boomarked and camped, I am not so sure about this as it goes against my theory of a random spawn and the faith I have in NC ^^.

I have been back one day and have already plundered 5% (-1 for lag death due to wireless connection!! *sigh*)

I was talking to Hitsugaya and randomly came up with this...

not only did this make me laugh, but the wager was also quite cool. Hits has a 15% headstart however I have 2 days free and will do my best to rattle towards 70% asap.

Game-on Hits ^^
