In this Issue: Real World Noteworthy People who play on Erica, Updates to 'The Best of the Best" poll, plans for interserver PvP competitions, and More!
Overheard in Giran:
CL #1 "I think we will win any interclan competition on that issue"
CL #2 "LOL, you fool, we pwn u hands down!"
CL#1 "How about a bet? Loser gives the winner an A~Grade weapon?"
CL#2 "You're on! The bet is ...which clan has the biggest drama queen.... we have Ph*b** You can't top that!"
CL#1 "LAWL, sure can! We got S*l*r**l"
Readers choice...who wins? The BD or the Archer?*
Discrete enquiries by a new junior reporter for the EE has turned up a list of 'famous real world' people who play, or have played, Erica.
- Senator Larry Craig of Idaho Played a male dark elf until he realized the game had no bathroom stalls.
- Gov. Mark Spitzer of New York Played a human male until he found out that not all female characters were female in real life.
- Guao Shi Duong (PRC sub-minister of technologies) who played by following around the following character, until the following character quit.
- GW Bush (Pres of US) who quit at lvl 12 complaining of the excessive grind and that the game was 'too frickin hard at this high level'
- [censored] Cheney - banned for botting
The next expansion will include the 'Pet Olympiad" Not only will pets get an exaustive list of skills to learn (including servitors like golems) but they will also have a competition where we will have...yes...PET HEROS. Pet Heros will have the same glowing electrons that the pc heros do. They will also get a special hero skill, similar to Kamael 'traps' where the lil babies will leave a sweet little pile of baby pet p**p which acts as a lvl 9 bleed when you step in it.
How quickly the server changes! FoB left for greener pastures, RR Reigned briefly and are now getting shoved aside by the Shogunate. Will FoB return? Will RR fold up and whimper away?
NBC is floating a cartoon series to top management roughly based on Lineage2. It may come out this fall and if it does, expect a flood of new players before Christmas. Mature players...probably not, but lots of players, for sure. Good Job NCSoft for that marketing ploy. Or is it Fox doing this?
In the next issue....Lineage2 Swimsuits competition, both ingame and in real life, pics coming!
* This is totally fictional, the respective CLs never had this conversation, at least to the best of my knowledge they didn't. ;)
