Aden siege 27/3

Well what started off as a day of me trying to get to 10% resulted in lag deaths all around :(.... I was just getting bored and swung by kent to see what was going on and I saw this .....




This was a little strange to say the least.... any prince who fancied kent could have it ( even Justi who would no doubt d.c 5cm from the crown and still claim it >.<). I thought this was very strange becuase it was an SLM owned castle and they are rarley so charitable with there castles !!

Then I got a wis saying there was a siege going on in Aden.... and boy it was a big one.... On one side we had the juganaut that is SLM with rings submitting there heavy hitters... rings are also very experienced holding IGG now for a good 6 months on a very regular basis and showed it... SLM lack strong bow elfs so it is a good job rings brought theres ^^

The other team were formed up of 300 (now headed up by Suasponte) Pilimit who can boast a range of talent including Speakers, royal family who largly provided fodder for Oin :( and noob club who are not afriaid of a fight and have 037 umungst there ranks.

This was always going to be a good fight and I predicted a close encounter.

SLM are very patient they will happily sit for hours and repel waive after waive with no appearance of bordom there stratagies are largly based on atttrition and form very strong defensive units.

The tactics the sieging side used were very smash and grab and frustrated slm for long periods slowly drawing them out and using up their pots.

It started off with a standard siege layout with around 10 a side with SLM forming around the main tower.

But it soon it became apparent that this was not going to be a pledge dipping there toes in the water as each side got more and more people involved.






SLM, as you would expect were very diciplined and experienced and set out there stall early claiming the tower as the ground to hold and forming a cube around it, however there are always 3 people that can really do some damage it tends to be the same 3 names....




And do not get me wrong SLM are packed full of talent with many 60+ but these 3 once were like a thorn in SLM's side all day !!!




Here we see Oin and next to him is 037 drawing a few SLM out into a small skirmish on the edge.

More and more people got invloved with SLM around 30 in number franticly defend the tower against a repeated onslaught each time they came a few more pots were used up this was going to be a battle of attrition and it was one that SLM were very prepared for.


Despite the best efforts of Pilimt and Co there first wave was repeled... round 1 to SLM.



On so many occasions SLM has outlasted there opponents by stobernly defending the tower using what seems to be an endless supply of pots with the ability to absorb damage and deal it in equal measure..... not this time !!!

By this time there were ring side seats available and I would just like to say thankyou to both sides for not attacking me whilst I was taking photos :)



.... there was one ( there is always one)... chance you babo E-bind me once is an accident but twice is just stupid >.< !!
Pilimit, 300, royal and noob came back and had a plan... it was a good one and it worked well.... mages send in wave after wave of LS and MS as the tightly packed SLM group just stayed resolute.... they had to they had no elfs to repell the mages !!

This led to 2 things !!!

1. SLM coming after the mages and engaging knights on the edge of the square, which created this beauty of an opportunity !!!

2. death of mages .... no one likes to see it !! (lol!)


Me and syni(babo) were commenting throughout and slightly after I said about speakers and 037 and then this happened ..... after SLM broke rank 037 and Speaker came through the middle !!!!



WITH 20 MINS to go !!!!!!!!!!!! the breakthrough happened !!!

Then came the call..... from Loushah !!!



come one come all..... with SLM on the ropes now was the chance to take up arms.... for every time you go to kent to find it closed, for everytime you want to hunt giran for every time Beleth takes your fancy only to find closed doors... now was the time to defend !!!!

I have no idea who LuoShah is as I asume that is not his main char but it made a refreshing change from the trash talk going on on global !!! I have had the pleasure of chatting to LuoShah when he was in noob tos and was a nice guy... maybe you will wis me with your real Identity batman !!!!

The previosly imperious SLM had fallen there battle of attrition was lost due to the sheer determination Pilimit and Co !!!! with SLM's weakness bare for all to see !!!!



For the first time Pilimit, 300, Noob club and Oin were is possetion of a 5m a week castle !!! they formed up around the tower ready for the inevidtable SLM attack that was assembling outside. 10 mins and they would be the first alliance to break the iron grip of SLM !!!! GAME ON !!!


If SLM showed that they miss elfs and mages from the pledge as there weakness, they sure as hell showed what there strength was. Wth SLM not needing to sit tight and out pot there opposite number they set about slaughtering all in there path with the array of talent they have at there dispossal.

SLM made short work of the defenders and reclaimed there castle with 5 mins to go in show of brute force.... with so many 60+ there was unlikley to be any other outcome !!



I like rings especially there prince who I think is very down to earth and of course high lev ^^ so it is funny that he should wis me and remind me that speakers is bottted... yes he is but he is still a bloody beast !!!! (this was in responce to me shouting on global that Speakers is a monster!!)

Whenever I see him at a siege he causes a lot of damage !!

I would also like to point out that NO PLEDGE !!!!! are 100% angels every pledge has the occasional botter or brought char or adena buyer or uses scroll macro's.

Overall another SLM win, but this time they had to fight for it !!! I was a great siege even better then the giran one a few months back !!!

* on a side note I cannot help but mention Nowudie.... I have hunted with you before and yes your a strong and skilled char, however please remember that once upon a time you were bad mouthing on global at SLM when you were at 300 !!!

No.... I do not need to ask for directions !!!

As anyone who has gone hunting with me will tell you I have certain drawbacks...


1. I am worse the a girl.... I take sooooooo long to get ready for a hunt... like really long !!
2. I get lost take me to TOI and I garentee you we will get lost if you follow me !!!
3. Running away from bosses ... shouting help help help * see point 1 about being a girl*

The first one people have got used too. Even the pinicle of patiance that is Conal accepts it takes me 10 mins to set up...he know gives me 10 mins notice of the hunt whilst he goes to the toilet and gets something to eat.... at least when he gets back he only has 5 mins left to wait >.<. I was hunting in TOI and as per normal got lost.... very lost and somehow ended up here....

Things got worse....



A lot worse....

SR has become a very interesting place to be and when Milla gets back it will be even more fun with more take the piss out of Joe days :P

A very warm welcome to our new arivals !!!

Just when I thought things were getting quiet !!!

Hello everyone,

It has been a long time since I have posted which is not ideal I have been very busy with uni at the moment and to be honest I have no had taht much stuff to post. I will promise to update on a more regular basis from now on... I have a feeling things ar going to get a little more interesting.

Since hitting level 52 I am now involved with a lot more boss hunting and a curious addition to the pledge has got me on a steep learning curve once again.

Needless to Say I am averaging around 1-2 deaths per night though bad internet connection, boss hunting... hunting or just plain stupidity e.g

I think I tele home to regen so I alt tab out of game and go look at gamespot for some bits and bobs.... what actually happens is I go AFK at south drake spot, and die !!! (lol!)

I am really looking forward to the exp event as it will be a chance to break my 5% duck I seem to have aquired.... got to 4.9x and few times but not past 5% yet.... worse still of all the times I died non of them were on Friday the 13th >.< >

Ep U part II/III preview

Today after what we all thought was nc going on a lunch break and forgetting to switch the servers back on turned out to be a real treat... well kind of.

The good things

- Everything according to nowudie drops condensed OJ's as seen in global.... about 7 times !!! - Yes they drop pots but we already have OJ's on server !!!! small things amuse...... (lol!)

- Bears... I got some bears. Not only are they super cudley and cute but they still have the 3 cell attack range, which is very handy.




The bad things


- Oh My GOD !!! the LAG ..... where did it come from ? I was on DI after I dc the first time, but it was so so bad... even worse is when conal said

" I hope they did not trial new death system >.<" - Thankyou for that conal that makes me feel so much better !!!

- Conals Titan belt is broken from updte (he has to feel mortal for 1 hour!!).... no wonder he can carry so much !!! if carry anymore then 50 pots I have to use Str spell to regen >.<

NERF ALERT !!!!

Bear summon do not seem to be as good as current dire bears in terms of damage dealt.... "yay!!" becuase mages need more balancing....

*flashback*

NC lacky 1: We must do that update sometime soon that GM is breathing down our neck

NC Lacky 2: What a ball breaker !!

GMLyzira: I heard that !!!! Stop chatting like girls and get my update done !!!!

NC lacky 1: mutter mutter *sip cofee*

NC lacky 2: Mutter Mutter Mutter *sip coffee* *eat cookie*

1 day later....

NC lacky 1: *says to himself* Good job finally finished the update no bugs what a masterpeice....

NC Lack 2: Hey, I just seen the update....

NC Lacky1: It's great is'nt it, amazing what we can do when stop drinking cofee !!

Managment Laky: *burts in* Dude.... your update is crap... Mages have more HP and more MP, what is going on...

NC lacky 1: Well we nerfed Destroy so it as strong as e-bolt and we discuised well by giving mp discounts on spells noone uses so I think that balances things out, you know we have been pretty tough on mages afterall !!

Managment Lacky: WHAT.... WHAT did you say !!! mages are the source of all problems they are lucky they have an ac at all !!!... with the increase in HP and MP there is a serious balance issue.... mages should not be able to hunt outside of SKT....... MAKE THIS RIGHT !!! I WANT ACTION NOW.... oh and make sure you add a few bugs we need to justify our jobs !!

NC Lacky 2: But GmLyzira said that the update should be bug free and should be kinder to mages ....

Managment Lacky: I don't care what she says.... she has been listening to too much construtive feedback !!!! I GOT IT.... THE SUMMONS..... nerf them !!!.... don't forget about the bugs..... Bugs mean jobs, repaeat after me " bugs..... means..... jobs" !!

NC lacky 1: but but....

Managment Lacky:..... DO IT !!!!


Ok I have got to confess getting excited about stat re-roll now.... it is coming soon !!!

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.
