In this Issue: More C5 Changes found, Interview with an archer, Travel Guide to Death Valley, Secret Dwarf, Magic, and more!
Remember in Gludio how you would run behind the church on either side and there were these little hidden plazas where you could drop stuff on the ground with one character and then log in another to pick it up if you were too cheap to pay the 1000a? All the time your account was reloading you would be hoping noone was going to be back there picking up the bones and charcoal and Tiger's Eye earring pieces? Well, they closed them off, you cannot go back there any longer. Perhaps removing that space makes the lag less, or someting.
Some of you may know Vina. Here is an interview with her, my questions and her answers are unedited, my post-interview comments are in parenthesis. She gained some gossip when she claimed on these boards that she could "solo Rune Castle", the one castle not yet taken from the NPCs.
RP: There has been a lot of chatter about your comment that you could solo Rune Castle if you wanted to. We all know that you are strong, but do you honestly think you could do it?
Vina: All I need is zarachi. and a clan leader. (sic)*
(You had zarachi, and you didn't take Rune. Clan leaders are not hard to come by, or is this an implication that your current clan leader isn't competent? Hey, wait...if you say you need a clan leader to solo Rune, then you aren't solo 'cause you have a clan leader. In other words, you are saying that you CANNOT solo Rune, right?)
RP: Do you think that the war between PR and Avalon is based on different philisophies, or has it just become a habit and a grudge match?
Vina: It's always been grudge/habit since C1. I forgot how it started though. (sic) It's definately (sic) NOT based on different philisophies. both (sic) sides are the same, RP wise (they don't RP at all, they just hate each other.) (sic)
(So you have an alt in Avalon and know what they RP?)
RP: Do you think that there are too many buff pots now?
Vina: no. (sic) Real buffers >CH/Pots BY A LOT. you (sic) only get decent buffs with a buff scroll. You need real people for greater might/shield, prophecy, CoV(and prophecies are Huge), resistance buffs, dances, etc. probably even more crazy 79/80 buffs in interlude. (sic)
RP: Who do you admire most in game (besides yourself)?
Vina: heh thats a tough one. (sic) DLM probably who has inspired me to go kill entire parties of enemies solo (and win.)
(Narcisstic Personality Disorder, or NPD for short, can be Googled easily).
RP: What question do you wish that I had asked you, and what is your answer?
Vina: hm. (sic) Which class would I rather play, my archmage or sagi? Sagi by a LONGSHOT (sorc is a useless piece of c**p). oh and my pvp score! (sic) 1239/37
(I am sure you will update that pvp score, I know it is higher since this weekend, see prior comment)
* When you see (sic), it means that the mispelling or grammatical mistake was the part of the speaker's reply, not an editing mistake by the EE.
** Vulgarity edited out.

The Halloween visit by GMs was a fun break, they tossed ricecakes and elpies around some cities. They didn't go out into the countryside where I was hunting, too scared of the mobs I guess. Hey, I'm running low on L2Day Scrolls, was kinda counting on undead Halloween mobbers, but that was my mistake. The Halloween event has been different every year, 3rd one for me!
So you gotta be a Cardinal to use the 'Turn Undead' spell on a character. You cast it and they are now subject to Hold Undead (para) and Might of Heaven, so Cardinals have become the Ultimate PvP class, wow.
So when did keltiers start morphing into bandersnatches? I just noticed that. Also, now you need a ticket to take the ferry from Gludin to Rune, I got bumped off. I wanna be able to fish from ferries, too. Speaking of fishing, I want Flavas to spoil! Of course, I also want reds to spoil.
Least well set up manor: Schuttgart. Hire a consultant if you can't figger it out yourself.
In the next issue: The clan lord with four in-game girlfriends, Dwarf Ale Crafting Secrets, the reason pla*a's toons all got banned (AGAIN), and more!
