Finally

I completed my second class change yesterday. I knew the quest because I already did it on PTS for C4.

I created the account for the OB, made a dark wizard. Then it turned out our clan got the DSS recipe. Since the clan artisan was focusing on levelling he didn't want to use it, so I created Moneta and levelled her up to 20 and she started selling DSS in Giran to pay for the clan level up.

After many problems with adenas farmers (they were pking dwarves at mithril mines I had to turn red on my DW to stop them) I didn't sign up at the end of OB. But I came back 1 year later, levelled up some more. Made some alts and levelled them all to 20+. Then left and came back again a few times.

At that point Moneta was level 38. When the PTS went down I decided to stop playing my other alts, level her up to 40 and finish the Warsmith quest.

Now, it seems the bots/farmers are gone. Good! I really enjoyed L2 during the Japanese OB, now I like it again. I hope Kamael will bring back more people but not the farmers lol.

I really dont care.

Well done and welcome back! Always nice to see returning players having as much fun as we did in the early days.

@Art: You obviously care otherwise you wouldn't have bothered wasting your time to post.

lol it's ok if you don't care I posted this because I thought it was funny to tell about an old newbie

Thank you purp, yes I still have fun playing, I always stopped when I was bored or annoyed so it kept the fun intact each time I came back.

I hope Kamael will bring back more people but not the farmers lol.

Me too. I hope it brings at least some new players too.

But the farmers are not gone and never have been.

The day "Arty" writes something usefull is the day the Devil walk around on the earth.
Welcome back to the world of L2. And indeed new players are allways welcome.

That's weird I haven't seen any on Kain. Maybe they stick at some place where I've not been yet.

Youll start seeing some in 50+ spots. Lower then that aint profitable for them not enough adena per hour.

Well, most farmers have moved on to mobs above level 30-40...

They are very big in Beast Farm, and area's such as that since the profit margin is so high.

Only ones you'll see in lowbie cats are those that just got banned and they'll be past 4X in 2-3 days.

Oh that's fine then I need to level my 5 other toons to 40 first :)

Shoot, there is a group of them up at Dino island where the T-Rex can not seem to get to.
Sucks when you can auto that play area.

Hello Moneta, I'm just curious about where does your name come from?
:)

Oh it comes from Dan Simmon's Hyperion. Moneta is a woman who loses 1 day every day so she turns back into a little girl.

As it sounds like money too I found it was fit for a dwarf lol.

The funny thing is all russians and italian players ask me if I'm russian or italian because it means something in their language.

Moneta (rus.) = coin (money, cash also). :p

Grats! Those dorf quests are epic :)

Moneta (rus.) = coin (money, cash also). :p

LOL, perfect for a dwarf.

Moneta (rus.) = coin (money, cash also). :p

And in Danish "moneter" = old slang for money. I'm sure it comes from Latin or something. I have a toon name that means something in several languages, so I get asked a lot if I'm from some-random-country when I'm on that toon. WTB name change.

lol, I wouldn't change my name for a million adena, I get buffed and the other day someone gave me a haste potion^^.

In fact Moneta = Memory.
And in Hyperion Moneta is the female warrior coming from the future with the Shrike, not the archeologist with Merlin illness ;)
That's all I wanted to know, nice name :p

Oh yes but she is the same person, it's just mentioned in one sentence it's easy to miss it :)

You'll get tired of Russians that believe if your nick means something in Russian they you're Russian (or can use it freely at least). :p We're very sociable... hehe...

Socialist you mean? O.o

(joke, har har)

And French ppl are even worse >.>

`Make like ze french !!`
`We give up !!`
`No no, the other french!!`
`Oh, On garde!!`

:)

I've nothing against french, i just remembered this and it's **** funny, if you know a lil' bit of history anyway :).

Good luck Moneta.

Oh yes but she is the same person, it's just mentioned in one sentence it's easy to miss it :)

Spoileeeer ><'


I had some greeks believing I'm greek because of the name of my character on another game.
And today I learned that a possible diminutive of my character's name was a slang term in Russian :eek:

But believe it or not, _Charmille_ is french. :)

Je ne parle pas francais >.>

Ca va washtak?

See! Living in Finland but the heart in France!
C'est pour ça qu'on l'aime ! ;)

Spoileeeer ><'

Of course, I'm a dwarf after all ;)

Juno protected the finances of the Roman Empire as Juno Moneta.

Latin: monetary coming from moneta

This is true, thanks Wikipedia, but Dan Simmons took the reference from Moneta the goddess of memory (http://www.theoi.com/Titan/TitanisMnemosyne.html).

Moneta also means in Polish "coin" :)
