Greetings from Sunny Tahiti! I've been playing too much Beach Blanket Bingo to do the EE recently, but last night I got some sand in my <edited out> so here we go....
In this issue: C5/PTS release scooped, we give you the low down on the dates. Peek at new mob bosses, whats changing in the player toon faces, the Biggest Elpy in the World, and more!
The fix is in. Have you been paying attention to the weekly lottery drawings? That's ok, noone else did either, except this one player I will call him Statistics Dwarf. He recorded the winning numbers of every lottery since C2 and did something called Regression Analysis on em. He tried to explain it to me, but it was BORING. Anway, there are some numbers that come up much more than others. I tried it, it works. I won. 15k.
Next time you are in a cata or necro look thru the windows in the floor and you will see the lower level that will open in C6. The doors are already installed, takes the 'Unlock' skill to get down there...you can now but there are no mobs...and you gotta find the doors!
Avalon. Puppyrawr. Baddies. ServerPolice. H*i**le.
A lot of the SP have rerolled on Teon. A few came back, not too many.
Most of you read the 2006 predictions in my January EE. There I predicted 1) that SP would end the year quite differently than it started and 2) the change would come from within SP and not be forced on it from outside.
--->Rumpunch<---- my crystal balls work!
But now the inside story. Over a year ago a meeting was held at the Heine Docks where the 'Coalition' was formed. There were all kinds of trials/tribulations/changes that evolved into the Avalon that exists today and which holds all the castles, something that seemed impossible when SP dominated the server and crushed all opposition. That was then, this is now and there is one, just one, hero to whom we all owe the change.
This hero does not like the spotlight, she is not a clan leader, she is not an alliance leader, she is not even one who seeks PvP. Still, the dwarf with the odd name called that meeting and started everything that changed everything. Yes, there are Heros on Erica .,.and i don't mean 'heros' as L2 makes them...
Maybe an alert reader can help me with this. Before the 'Seven Spirits of Mischief' event EADs were selling for 150k. The event dumped a ton of them on the market and the price went up to 200k. Since the event it has slipped back down. Whats up?
Is it true that buffs are stronger if you use shots when you buff someone?
Want a real fishing contest? Go the the north shore of Dwarfland then to the north side of all the little islands. You can't see them from shore, but there are just swarms of dwarves fishing all day in brig up there, how odd! Check em out! Brind your red friends!
The C5 surprises, of which there will be several not on the Korean version, include:
Pet Skills! Yes, those pet SP will have a use. But most of these skills will be unlike our skills....rather than a fighting ability they will include such things as increased ability to climb (get that adena off the rock, Spot!) and emotes. Yes, emotes for pet SP! Make your wolf lift a leg on an orc or your kitty sharpen her claws on that afk store. Oh yes, they work in town, too.

Next issue: We name them all, every one! Previews of the 'female human rogue jiggle' of C5, and more!
