Greetings,
In this classic fable by Jean de la Fontaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_la_fontaine) , the ant works hard all summer during a heat wave. It build its house and prepares its provisions for the winter. The cicada thinks the ant is an idiot, she laughs, dances and plays all summer long. Once winter comes, the ant is warm and has plenty to eat. The shiverring cicada has neither food nor shelter, and freezes to death.
And now... The version you folks have been waiting for... The L2 version of this beautifull fable. So open your minds and listen to these words...
The L2 Version of the Cicada and the ant
the ant grinds levels all summer during a heat wave. It build its chars and prepares its weapons for the winter. The cicada thinks the ant is an idiot, she laughs, dances and plays all summer long. Once winter comes, the ant is high level and has plenty of armor and weapons. The shiverring cicada organises a press conference and asks NCSoft why the ant gets to have high levels and nice gear, while it is freezing to death naked with no weapon...
Then the board revolutionaries (the squirrels) start to debate on how in such a great game, all animals should get to experience the high end content. They event show clips of the ant, doing outrageous stuff like Antharas raids or seiges, while they then show clips of the cicada, loneless and hopeless in a n00b town.
So the Trolls hop in, asking NCSoft officials to give out answers as to how the ant got rich on the back of the cicada and asks NCSoft to raise the taxes of the ant, so that it pays it "just dues".
Following the polls, NCSoft decides to instate a equal economy law (retroactive to three months before) and a severe anti-discrimination law. The tax on the ant is raised and she has to pay a fine for not giving free stuff to the cicada.
With this news, the clan breaks up, and the ant doesn't have the adena to pay for all the back taxes and the fine. The ant rants and curses NCSoft, then leaves L2 and goes to play City of Villains.
The bats come to praise NCSoft, showing clips of the cicada in high level gear with a Draconic bow. The majestic armor that was once the ant's was recycled and given to the cicada. The cicada starts to complain to NCSoft that this game bites, and there is no content to last. The seagulls blame it the lack of a NA dev team.
So they get Ornery to create an event that will cost them 10 million adena. The cicada decides to go on a pk rampage and then quits. The local unofficial boards comment about the failure of NCSoft to erradicate e-bayers, bots and farmers.
So a band of cockroaches (pro-farmers) buys up the majestic armor and the accounts. They terrorise the community by farming raid bosses and selling stuff for outrageous amounts of adena.
The End.
Have Fun ! ™
