Where's L3G3ND?! We miss you hun, get done with your exams already!

Hi all dears in SoE:

   It was such a weekend.

   I went to Lake City, South Carolina to hunt deer.  Hunting Deer?? in Spring time?!

   Yes, we got permit from local county government to hunt those deers on my friend's farm.  It is my first time to hunt.  When I got down from Jeep, my friends yelled," Quick!! a deer!!".

   After his shout, I picked quickly up my 30-06, aimed that deet within my scope from 150 yards away...

   *boom!!!!!*

   A hugh gun shot noise was surround in the air...

   Poor deer... he is shot.

   "What I have done?!"  This is the first word I said after pulling the trigger.  I harmed a cute animal...

   That poor deer got badly wounded.  But it still tried to run away.  I decided to chase it... to make some pain-removing decision...  After a short chase, I found it lied on the ground...looking at me...
I can never forget its eyes... my heart hurted so much for hurting it.  Then... I aimmed its head...

   *Boom....*

   Both of my friends tried to give me some compliments that it was a great shot for a beginner.  They said I am a natural born sniper...  But I didn't know why, don't know why, won't know why, I pulled the trigger...

   Touching its body, it was still warm which soon wouldn't be...

   May God rest its soul in the heaven. May God forgive me.

Many of you asked me why I left SoE. I think it is about time for me to say something.

I joined SoE on Sep. 14, 2004.  Then became a GK on Nov. 17, 2004. It was such an honor.

 Music: Superman - Five for fighting
   
     So it been a long and very eventful past few weeks, eh? Friends are quiting left and right. A few individuals continue to act like childern ruining the experience for all, most of all me. Ive spent a long time looking out for everyone, not just my pledge but my friends as well. I wont pretend that I dont bring the stress on myself, because I know I do. I love you all and I guess the saying is true..
The road to ruin(or in my case hell) is paved with good intentions. Too many of you rely on me to hold your hand in this game. I cant log in one day and not have to deal with someones problems. Ive tried warning you all that im well beyond my breaking point. Its sad really..... I thought my friends would understand and give me a break. (I know a lot of you tried)

     I really think some of you need to take the time to re-evaluate who and what I am. Many of you have reduced me to a princess sprite, there to do nothing but take care of YOU. How selfish are all of you anyway? (not just talking about my pledge but everyone outside the pledge that comes to me too) Ive spent a lot of time on the phone with a couple of you resently and on vent. Do you hear my pain?
Do any of you know how bad it hurts me? Am i real to you? I have tried so very hard... to just play lineage.. as a game, but none of you will let me. WHY? So now im going to start naming a few names so that maybe you might all get a hint.

     Eternal- For all your love and support thank you, but you cross the line sometimes. I cant/wont love you like i did coeba and it bothers me every time you would compare yourself to him. You have
drawn lines in the sand for ppl that are intrested in me and guard me like a bull dog! stop! As a gk you also need to learn to seperate yourself from your personal feelings. you must be fair to the ppl you lead.

     Drae- Your bored and bitter with the game. So you find ways to amuse yourself by annoying others and then cover your tracks by only doing so to the low lives of aden. You bring your problems to me even after I ask everyone to go through the guardians becuase i need a break. The drama you breed is unbelievable at times.

     Everyone - you will always have my love and respect and i know some of you are trying, but you really need to learn to ignore babos that do nothing that run their mouths. WALK AWAY AND IGNORE. if you attack or talk back it only encourages the situation.

     Elfcloud - for a kid I had a lot of respect for you really did a 180. I dont think i need to go into detail.. because i think you know what im talking about.

     Takeda - Not my problem? Thats why you were growling at me for ikaris taking swings at you in toi, while he wasnt even in my pledge and while i was growling at him trying to just get him to ignore you. Really I dont know why I should even give a damn. Fuck you man. You run your mouth just as much as anyone else. You shut gala behind a gd door while she was helping you with the 50 quest you stupid arse, and then you whisper her hurrassing her.. saying "better luck next time" YOU DID NOT GIVE HER THE MONEY, magestar eventually did ..what days later? Wether the letter was true or not your shyt stinks too. YOU breed the hate that follows you. So why dont you try leading by example in everything you do and you wont have these problems. -.- And OMG "Ill stop when SoE stops" what are you 5 years old?! Dont you see you are keeping things going. How many times did Nukes and I have all this stopped and then either you or someone my pledge fucking cross the lines again. Be a god damn royal and help me out. -.- geez And dont you even try to tell me you arent trying to keep it going.. cause i got to hear ALL about your mouth running at drakes the other day.

     The above is only the most recent sources of aggrivation. Now where was I before I starting ranting......

Hi everyone, still trying to figure out how this post works lol.  GL all :)

     Havent had a whole lot of time to play anything lately. Ive spent a good amount of time with the kids, cleaning, getting my hair done :) and talking with old friends this week. I also got a chance to renew my Horizons account and send out a couple invites to some of my friends I thought might be interested in trying the game. So far its just been me, though ive had little time to play, I managed to talk to some of the old veterans of the game and see how things have changed this past year.

     Among some of the changes I have noticed so far:
       *An increase in party experience
       *A large increase in the amount of training points allicated per lvl up
          -I now have over 300 to place v.v
       *3 new races have been discovered (unlocked)
       *All the resources are in different places -.-
       *Land area was increased
       *Mops spawns have decreased. (at least in the areas i use to know)
       *It seems that adventure exp comes more easily than before.
       *Hoard drop values have been greatly increased. v.v
       *Dragons now have a form of weapons
       *Right of Passage (adult) has been added -Dragon
       *Ancient right of Passage (ancient) partially been added -Dragon

     Anyway, like I said havent played much but i managed to get 1 and a half adventure lvls and take some screen shots to share with everyone.

     For those of you that have never seen my character before here is a quick introduction. Her name is Thyella meaning storm or to be more specific a sea storm. ;) She is a white dragon with cold blue eyes and chest scales. Having had a some what rocky start she quickly gained a distrust of the naka-duskael (thats unscaled in the dragon tongue, also known as bipeds). Her distrust made it easier for the ancients of the lunus (Dragon elitests) faction to sway her to their cause. Now she wonders istaria mastering the ways of the claw and beginning her right of passage into adulthood. Waiting for her wings to grow in, so that she too can join her brothers and sisters in the sky.

     I also managed to make a guild, of course called Spirit of Eternity.


     Thats all I have for now. Im eagerly awaiting this event that NC has planned for us, even though i have to work, i want to try and get as much exp as I can.

     Wind to thy wings!

Welp...
I supose you all want to know what Riddics been up to the past month or so....
Id better give you all and update on what stole me from you fine folks.
Simple enough to say... Addiction.
Addiction to a new game that has a little more of a plot line then just simple hunting.
(Questing) Something I picked up quite quickly and have come to greatly Enjoy.
Endless hours of hunting for money might be a challange, but mind you questing is such a change from the mind numbing dullness.

Anyways...

Alow me to enterduce myself... On WoW that is. (World of War craft)
I play a char named Sederia, She is currantly a level 42 Night Elf that has pledged her loyalitys to her guild (The Legion Of Elune) and her friends.
She resides in the Relm of the Centerion Circle... her profeshions are Skinning/Leather working.
Rogues have the Talents of a theif in most games.. they sneek in and out of the shadows
un-deceted by enemys and friends alike, this is true in WoW as well.

This was a SS from a  Scarlet Monastary Run Amorel and i went on, in atempts to earn the money for are mounts.
It turned out awesome except  for the fact that are priest Fadeen, has an extreamly lucky dice and recived all the drops >.<
Ahh well... better luck next time.

    I know you all have been waiting for a post from me and I apologise. For some reason my current version of PhotoShop is not opening ss's captured in my lineage folder. Ive got a friend that can help me, but I have to wait for him to get online. kekeke Anyway, in the meantime.

    There have been a number of our pledge mates and friends expressing their boredom with the world of lineage. This is normal for people that have been playing the game as long as many of us has and many of use simply remain becuase we have made lasting friendships with the people that we play with and cherish the time we spend with them.

    We do not have to limit our time to lineage. There are many many many other things we can do together over the world wide web. Some are free and some are not, but as long as we decide as a group to remain together, we can maintain that community that all of cling too in lineage.

    With the help of friends, we will be reopening the Ventrillo server and invite all those in clan SoE regardless if you are playing wow, lineage or anything else to take advantage of the opertunity to stay in touch with your friends. This site will also remain as a dedicated line between us. If any of you wish to post regarding other games u might be playing. I ENCOURAGE you to do so please. It was always my intent for SoE to be simply what it is... a group of friends and family. That does not have to be limited to the realm of one game.

    Keeping all this in mind Id like to start compiling a list of suggestions of other games free or subscribed that we can all play together. I have opened my msn messenger and given a dedicated grouping to those friends I have made in SoE and I suggest that all u do the same.

    Some of the games i thought of include:

Free:
   FairlyLand
   Card Games (pogo.com)
   NeoPets
   Age of Empires II

Subscribed:
   Lineage (lineage.com) *free dl*
   World of WarCraft (worldofwarcraft.com) *sold in stores*
   Horizons (istaria.com) *free dl*

     Also if anyone wants to try out a great game for free. Horizons has emailed me with a great offer if I return and try it out again. If I renew my account, I can get any and all of my friends a free MONTH of play time. This is a game I very much did enjoy but lacked the friends to play it with.  I will look into doing this if 10 or more of you express an interest in trying it out.

     You may question "Is Storm leaving lineage again?" The answer is no, I am not... but I do want to make sure EVERYONE is having fun. Otherwise lineage is just a mindless waste of your time. Its time to regain our play time for what it should be. Im tired of listening to everyone complain. STOP! (that doesnt go just for my pledge but everyone ingame in general) Everyone needs to learn to relax. Suggestions are great but ive come across a few ppl that are SO high strung lately that my indifferent "just deal" approach to the game is rubbing some ppl the wrong way. If you are one of these ppl, you need to seriously take a step back and ask yourself what the hell YOUR problem is. ;)

     So how about some fun guys! What other games can we play?

 

This is the article which was written in Chinese by a famous singer, Annie.  This is also my flavor article.  In this day, I translate it into English and share with each one of you.  Wish you would like it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listen the CD of Santana which you gave to me.   "Somewhere in Heaven". It is my favor song.

 

When the moment I miss you, I will listen the music.  Then image all of the voices from the singers are yours.  You are singing softly with a gloomy face.

 

Most of time, you are very blue.  You don't like to contemplate.  Don't want to be ridden by those thinking.  Unlike me, my thinking is always massive and complicate.  Your thinking always cuts into the point of life, the final solution of life and death.

 

"It is fare.  Everyone is equal."  You said.

 

"In somewhere, in somewhere, in the heaven, waiting for us, we shall finally be freed."  Santana sings.  We talked about the problem of death. Especially it was after your friend's death in the car accident.  You became so sensitive.  We went to the movie theater to watch Titanic.  When it was showing the part, an old couple holding their hands and waiting for the death, you held my hands hardly.  I could feel you were going to cry.  At that very moment, I swore to God, in the entire life, in my entire life, I must live one more day than you.

 

            I will bury you.  I won't let you feel the suffering of losing the love.  Then I will follow you.

 

            I remember once time we talked about breaking up.  We didn't talk to each other for few days.  When I saw you again, you had exhausted eyes.  After that, I asked you what you did during the days of breaking up.  You answered softly, "I closed myself in the room without doing anything."  Then you kept saying, "I didn't even speak a word in the room."  Later we always joke about it.  If one day I left you in the world, you would become a lonely old man.  You would be staying in the big house, turning TV on forever, waiting for the death also to bring you away.

 

            I am always stronger than you.  Although you are worried about my sentimentality, I do, however, understand the meaning of life.  You are like an old child, can't see the cruel in the world, always have a pure heart.  However, we all understand we can't live in the world without each other.  We can't live with fear which is like the bird can't fly anymore.  But whenever I think if I left you first, your pains would make me suffer to leave the world.  My soul would float in the sky, saying the assuasive words to you which you couldn't hear.  And you maybe would lose the ability of speaking; leave your physical body to reach me in your memories, and not able to go back to the reality.

 

           

            So I always love to see when you smile and swear in the deep of my heart.  Let me live one more day than you, just one more day than you.  I want to stay with you until the end.  I must give you the first and also the deepest true love.  I want to take care of you.

 

            I won't drop a tear, I won't let you concern the world, and I won't let you solicitude me.  I would play your most flavors songs, bring your best friends, and hold a best party.  Then, I will lie on the bed which we slept together before, close my eyes peacefully, and smile to wait you welcome me.

            "Somewhere ... somewhere in heaven ...."
