Wether those things stop working/happening or not, you're still gonna be a horrible 1 shot terrible player playing on a crappy pc with a horribad internet connection pretending to be something, so why does it matter?
I find the bottom of that chick too large for my taste. Koreans cannot into proportion.

The environment looks fantastic. Can't wait to try out the new race. :p
Screens are for girls, we need facts.

Later this summer in show of NCwest mean xmass gift?

Large hips on women are often viewed as proof of fertility.

A shame that the symbolism is lost here, because the Ertheia girls can't procreate...
They could be like the Amazon Women from Greek Mythology, but then again finding a mate would kinda be impossible

maybe sacrificial offerings to gain new kids is an option :D
Mules can't procreate because of biological reasons. Ertheia halflings are the same (they're the product of intercourse between Spikenard Ertheias and Orcs). It's not because of a lack of male Ertheias (male Spikenard Ertheias do exist, although they're few).

And mules still have well developed haunches :D

I personally think that the original inspiration for the Half Ertheia design were indeed mules, also when you take into consideration that mules have slightly smaller ears than their donkey fathers.

Mules can reproduce :) Such was the case in 2007 Colorado. There have been over 50 genetically confirmed offsprings of mules in the last 200 years. Moreover, basically anything can be done in a laboratory nowadays.

A good read about all-female society: "When It Changed" by Joanna Russ (http://americanfuturesiup.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/russ-when-it-changed.pdf)

He looks like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones :p

That's a win :D

Daily reminder that Jon Snow will die.
Would you need a reminder of how?
minor detail but the last book ends with him mortally wounded not dead as such..

anywayz most ppl die in game of thrones :P
Daily reminder that Jon Snow will die.
Quite sure it won't happen. At least till A Dream of Spring.

He is "presumably" dead in A Dance with Dragons, but there is no confirmation of such result.

Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, aka "Wylla", Ned Stark's sister. In the book, he has purple eyes, which only the Targaryens possess. Lyanna was r@ped in the Tower of Joy by Rhaegar and gave birth to Jon. Ned Stark wanted an honorable death for his sister by claiming Jon as his own bastard son. Notice how both the TV show and book portray Ned as an overly honorable man except the part in which he cheated on his wife, Catelyn. By birthright, he is the true heir to the iron throne (higher order than Daenerys) and he will sit on it.

Get mind-blown.
still waiting for this new race to come out. heard pretty awesome as warrior

Because browsing a forum and posting a quick remark takes oh so much time.............................

The content on the forums doesn't take but a few minutes to read, a few seconds to post, if it takes you longer, well.............

As for people with higher post counts, if you actually paid attention, we are all generally active in a 8-9 hour window, and maybe a couple hours here and there at other times, now what does that suggest to you, hrm ?

And if you think even in those windows we spend that whole time hawking the forums your delusional.

I assume he will be one of those that had life breathed back into them, or even worse case a walker, don't see any other way around it after they turned on him like that.

Wether he is a horribad one-shot Player or not, why does it matter?

Guess he just hits a nerf there with his attitude of being a pain in the @ss for NCSoft lazyness or better carelessness about rule-enforcement and Players that take advantage of it.

Ride on , Colorado, Ride on !

It is only a theory. Nothing is certain.


(spoilers)
Afterall he can be the son of the Fisherman's Daughter, or the son of Wylla, or even of Ashara Dayne.


And the true king is Tommen, not a Lord Commander of the Knigth's watch that wanted to abandon the Wall - with the Others at the doors... - to go fight against Ramsay Bolton. (/spoilers)

Where did you get the purple eyes thing from btw ? I read the books as well, and while I like your theory as it fits with the prophecy that the dragon has three heads as well and only two heirs have been revealed so far, I don't ever remember them saying this, not going back and reading every book to look for it, but even on the Wiki its states :

Appearance

See also: Images of Jon Snow
Even at age fourteen, Jon is said to have more Stark-like features than any of his siblings. Jon has a lean build, with dark brown hair and grey eyes so dark they border on black. He is graceful and quick.[3] Tyrion Lannister notes that Jon has the traditional Stark face in everything but name— long, solemn and guarded— a face that gives nothing away. He remarks to himself that whoever Jon's mother was, she left little of herself in her son's appearance.[4] Arya Stark is said to resemble Jon the most of the Stark children.[5] After joining the Night's Watch, he dresses in their official black garb.
There is no description of a personal coat of arms in the books, but George R.R. Martin told the company Valyrian Steel, who made replicas of Jon's sword, to use the reversed Stark colors on the plaque that goes with the sword.

Arya is supposed to resemble Lyanna as well, so that also fits your theory, I don't believe Roberts r@pe theory, if you read the other stories it looks more like they were actually in love, even so it still fits, it fits Daenerys vision of the blue rose as well.

The purple eyes are briefly and precisely mentioned somewhere in Book 1. Rhaegar, not Robert, r@aped Lyanna. HBO already knows how the series is going to end in case George RR Martin suddenly dies; in the show, there are many hints that supports this theory (not MY theory). Everything just clicks together if you pay close attention to detail.

Honestly, how else do you think the series will end? :rolleyes: Daenerys proves to be an incompetent ruler in Book 5 by economically destroying the cities she freed and her dragons won't even obey her anymore.

No, I never said Robert r@ped her, I said that because he is the only one that says that, and of course he would, she was his betrothed, it was a matter of honor. Like I said, almost everything else points to the fact they ( Lyanna and Rhaegar ) were actually in love, including the books not in the series.

As for Daenerys, I don't think he was showing her as a bad ruler, a little naive maybe, of course the economy is going to go to hell when it's based purely on slavery and you abolish that practice. She is going to have a very good advisor soon anyways in Tyrion.

As for GRRM kicking the bucket, the basic outline for the story has long been done, he just procrastinates to hell and back, and whether he admits it or not, gets sick of writing the series.

Lots of things in the TV series lend to this. First season Ned yelling at Jon about why he won't call him his son, basically saying I will not call you my son but your my family. (Would be his nephew)

Claims Jon is his bastard but Robert on his deathbed says Ned is an honorbale man and would never break a vow (ie never cheated on his wife)

The past season the Red Viper stated his brother law Rhaeygar was in love with another besides his sister, and he went to be with her towards the end when his sister was killed and her children.

If you add all the pieces to together Jon Snow is the "Song of Ice and Fire" bringing together the Ice of the Stark families and Fire of the Taergans. Starks have control over animals and some can Worg, where Taergans can give birth to dragons.... See where this is going?
stop talking game of thrones i havent read the books haha

Rhaegar*

Targaryen*

Actually the Starks have "control" over direwolves, as symbolized by their flag and the direwolves companions of the Stark siblings.
Its warg, not worg, can also be called skinchanging. Sly is right though, it can be done with any animal, it can even be done with humans, but its taboo to do so.

If Jon is the third head, that would solve Daenerys and Aegon's upcoming problem that the dragons were not raised with dragon trainers to guide Daenerys and so they would have very little control over them.

And yeah Rumble, you forgot all about Aegon, whose claim to the throne is of higher order than both Daenerys and, if he is in fact the third head, Jon's, as he is the legitimate heir of the Targaryen's with his mother legally married to Rhaegar.

Remember Rhaegar's vision/prophecy, the dragon has three heads, no one of them will sit on the throne, it will be a joint rule.
Ertheias reminds me the Elin race from Tera Online
=> little girls with big bottom and animals ears

Funny story, Tera Online's dev team contains 3 people who left the production of L3 and when they left they took a bunch resources with them, which is probably why the Elin race looks like the Lyn and Ertheias.

Sure, but bot is ever the problem of lineage 2, I want to know if current staff will continue the free bot land at Lineage 2 world.

What a hell we got some new screenshots of a future update while a current server stats is a complete fool staff with botland festival in all spots (include 99 only area).
Actually this is very much on topic. In Ertheia the amount of dropped adena will be reduced by 85% as compared to Valiance:

If a monster is dropping 100 adena now, you will get 15 adena after the update. Basically 1/6, like on the Classic Servers. Here are some screenshots from the Russian PTS:
http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=1136&start=840#p26899

This is driving players into despair, they buy items from the L2 store and sell them for botted adena in-game. NCsoft happy, botters happy, happiness all around.
No bots, no adena, no money laundering, NCsoft sadface :D

Would be surprised if L2RU doesn't revise the patch, or do so later from dropping numbers and public outcry.

Unfortunately, neither will effect the patch here and we will get that nerf tight on top of our other nerf's = final nail in L2's coffin over here. Probably within a year of that patch's release.

What's a jujitheia?

Also... Cry is actually Cryo.
Juji went on a cruise with Leona Blackbird, but shortly before they put into port at Talking Island they had an unexpected encounter. Now soon there will be little Jujitheias:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBXivxrNX7k

On Monday, July 21 he will be back at the office and can tell you everything about his adventures :D
Silly me, I didn't realize it was supposed to be Juji+Ertheia.

Does this mean we will have a GM staff entirely comprised of his children?
Exactly. Since Juji is more the skinny type, those what you could call "Quarter-Ertheias" will have narrower hips, being more agile and able to get anywhere, sniffing out bots from the deepest dungeons of the Imperial Tomb all the way up to the Chromatic Highlands :D
WTH ! How did we get so off topic and start discussing Ertheia and stop discussing Game of Thrones future events ?!?!?!?

Oh, its a good memory! Hunt Fafurion dragons to get a blue scales!

When hellbound comes and they introduce Isle of Prayer and Cromatic Highlands, there is a nice game lore. The game history was more fun when Hellbound comes, and everyone in Aden believe in Hardins is Beleth, or him son of Beleth.
Good times when we spend lots of times to do dark cloud mansion and crystal caverns... after a long time people hunting in hellbound to increase the place level... realy good times.

GoD destroy a lot of game history, IOP, Crystal Caverns, Hellbound, Beleth... whats happening with the old game? Simple, kneaded like a sheet of paper and put in the trash.

Now new race come to the game. What is next "forgotten place" of lineage?

Oh sure, whe I speak about jujitheya, valiance, cry(o)... and all "staff" (I believe 4~8 people, no more)... I'm talking about people who don't know who is Lineage 2. Maybe they know "skill test" (l2.eu introduce it and nceast just copy/paste), restart computer after maintenance or just speak about new items in l2store. No one know the game or play the game.

This is not a "game"... oh dear GM SPAM, come back and drive this game to a good place for players and not a good place for RMT and bots. When this day comes smite will leave the game as well the same groups of bots who run in every server farming only merchants will end. While we have juji/cryo/vali as "managers", the game rules will not change.

As I say before... Yidao for president.

The lore surrounding the Ertheias is not bad, actually much better than the simplistic "good guys vs. monsters" stuff in GoD.

With "Ertheia" we have a return to the Monastery of Silence, with Zephyron, the king who led the Ertheias into exile, having placed an Astatine Crystal in the Holy Grail and everybody, from Hardin via the player to Etis van Etina, being after that Astatine. It's people vs. people instead of people vs. Shilen. All this is revealed in the Ertheia class change quests (http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1179#p24432) but ultimately it's just a "spectator sport". No matter what you do, you can't influence the fate of the server like back in the Kamael/Hellbound updates, when it was the players who were responsible for advancing the island through the stages and making new hunting grounds available.

I personally think this was the best time Lineage 2 ever had, also from a community point of view. Suddenly it was not "our clan vs. your clan" but "we on Teon are already at stage 5, where are you on Bartz?". Less bickering, more cooperation. Ah well, those times won't come back. What with the development team having been split up in a Classic Server Team and a Live Server Team, there simply isn't the manpower to design such complex mechanics again :(

The next "forgotten places" of Lineage 2 are the Temple of Spirits and the Astatine Fortress, scheduled to go live in August and according to the concept art probably located in the Wind Spirit Realm, where the Ertheias spent their exile:

wow! (not world warcraft)
Thanks for amazing info! Unfortunately for us on NC server, world evolution based on hunting is not a god thing due to current bot out of control.

About the new race... humans are the greatest race of world, dark elvens whant to kill elves of light, dwarves want to trade with everyone and sell totems of maphr ( :) ), orcs plans attack humans all the time... things like this, "race wars" who we lost when GoD comes will back to game or everything will still like "Now": "all races are friends and the past is the past"?
Those "race wars" are over. With the Ertheia update, Dark Elves can even take a Light Elf class as Subclass (and vice versa), Kamael can take any class as Subclass, the only limitation remaining is that Maestros, Dominators and Judicators are still tied to Dwarves, Orcs resp. Kamael.

This is unfortunate for the game because it is one more step towards arbitrariness, towards interchangeability, taking away the specific flavor of Lineage 2. As any professional novelist will tell you, it's the limits, and the hero's struggle against them, which make up a good story. If everything is possible, boredom sets in.

Make war, not love! :D
