No, we have no King!

We are a community, expecting the higher level characters of the clan to help in any possible way the lower level ones. This includes mentoring, sponsoring, buffing/healing/*, chocolate and encouragement.

The clan leader (Aristotelis) has sacrificed lots of SP in order to raise the clan level to five, and he is required to do warehousing duties as well.

Decisions are made based on discussion and ultimately voting.




Monty Python's Holy Grail

Arthur: I am your king!
Dennis' Mother: Well I didn't vote for you.
Arthur: You don't vote for kings!
Dennis' Mother: How'd you become king, then?
Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!
Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!


Maybe one day we will vote for a King :-)

A new Saint for Shillien

Big news for the notorious Shillien Elder SofiaGR, whose name color has probably inspired our the name of our clan, as she is always in a blue state by the shower of recommendations for her valuable buffs and heals. She has passed the Saga of the Shillien Saint and achieved divine status in the L2 cronicles. Congrats from all of us and let the Saga continue. To noblesse and beyond!

Unreal Engine 3

On March 27th, NCSoft announced the licencing of the Unreal Engine 3 for two unannounced, top-tier massively multiplayer online games.

NCsoft has used Unreal Engine in the past, shipping Lineage II, and the soon to be released Exteel, using Unreal Engine 2.

Through this licensing agreement, NCsoft will be able to take advantage of the latest enhancements to Unreal Engine 3, including:

o massive world support,
o multi-processor support,
o dynamic ambient occlusion (i have no idea what this means),
o fracturing tool and runtime (nor that),
o realistic crowd system
o ..and much more.

“Unreal Engine 3 has a well structured rendering pipeline, and its graphical quality is superb thanks to advanced lighting and shadowing systems,” said Young-muk Choi, lead programmer, Development Unit, NCsoft.

Note that NCsoft does not buy the Engine itself, but the right to use it for future projects. Developers and publishers around the world have also licensed Unreal Engine 3 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Ally?

Yesterday ally EllinesKroisoi suggested that we join them. Member clans include HellasForce (70 members) and R3RARROWS (41 members). No wars present or intended.

Scope of the alliance is fun, parties and maybe RB.

Please feel free to communicate any questions and/or opinion.

LAXTARAS Graduation!!!

Grats LAXTARAS, the latest graduate of the clan academy!

Few days ago, the first Phantom Summoner of the clan has finished his second class change quests.

This Dark Elf magician can summon cubics and other entities to battle. These summons aid him and the party members to their cause, providing a formidable enemy especially in the higher levels of the game. He also gets the Summon Friend skill at level 56 - an extremely helpful ability for all his .. friends :)

Many thanx to LAXTARAS for the valuable reputation points, we look forward to the parties we will do together!

Tax 0% today

Notice to all:

Today is the day to buy your soul and spirit ore from dwarven village, since the area tax is 0%.

Hopefully it will last (at least) till 01:00.

NB Many thanx to Fyonar and FiremasterGR for offering the tip.

CT2: The Gracia Expansion

I found out a (tentative?) map of the Gracia Expansion (i.e. CT2).

It sort of left me speechless.

It's supposed to go live in Korea in the summer, so I suggest you get to some decent levels "soon" so we can all go exploring!

Korean Random Baby!

I was just finishing my B grade in Frozen Labyrinth when the game just exploded on me!

During the last half level I dropped about a dozen books (of the 1kk each kind) and, within 10 minutes from each other, 2 Rings of Binding.

On top of that, I then tried the event and got back a Fire Stone (15kk) - and I still have more than a thousand event items from the hordes I've decimated in Frozen Lab plus many bunny scrolls to try!

I think I'll screw the plan to craft the Soulbow, buying it will do just fine :)

The Power of Archers

You may have heard that archers are cool, that they hit hard and kill in a few hits.

Well, it's true.

I've been exping an archer with a bow in B grade for some levels now and I can only marvel at how it goes. I am mostly in Frozen Lab (awesome place), with plenty of mobs and I can kill them with two hits, literally non-stop... until I run out of either shots or arrows!

In theory I can stay in Frozen Lab until level 66. Unfortunately, there is only a single spot for those levels, the one with the 2 Ursus groups. So I'm looking for new places to go and new wonders to visit, ideas anyone? (besides Valley of *yawn* Saints...)

My next project will be to craft the Soul Bow for A grade. I have lots of key mats (I just love clueless ebayers selling Soul Bow Staves for 50k each) and I have the Kail's Coin quest, so it's time to revive my dwarfy from her 10-month-long hibernation and drop 30 coins in Forsaken Plains to get the recipe.

I can only hope the 60% craft succeeds. Everyone who has played Dungeons & Dragons knows that even 1 in 20 is a huge chance of failure!

The SA will be a pain, level 12 crystals cost 100 millions (that or do Einhalder von Hellman enough times - LOL), so maybe I'll pass that up for now.

Coralenia Graduation!!!

Hail Coralenia, the latest graduate of the clan academy!!

On Sunday March 2nd, in the early hours of the morning, this promising young lady graduated successfully.

Coralenia is on her way to greatness. Pictures will be posted as soon as they are available (i have some, but they need a bit of work - if anyone else has, please mail).

The whole clan would like to congratulate the new member, thanks her for the valuable reputation points and looks forward to seeing her in action!!!

PS. This post has been recently edited, due to a mistake to the names mentioned (Coralis, Coralenia, Coralia, Prophetoula). Just in case you are as confused as I am, I will just copy paste the phrase of Coralenia herself: "the universe just went crazy and created 2 ppl from one that now coexist in our dimension".
