Hi again... got tired of me already? well that's what u get when Im bored at work with a new toy mwahhahah (bang pow lightings, evil laughter and macabre music playing)
OK.. So this post has the solemn intention of showing my first impressions after 2 completed weeks on the Teon Official L2 server.
Like Greatoldone said before on one of his posts, this is not our first time here. We had a SH on Lionna a few years ago (I think it was C5 or Interlude) when the game was not that newbie friendly. For those of u who arent familiar with the previous chronicles, it was basically a tiny bit newbie friendlier than C4 and all the previous ones, since we started getting herbs, a great boost for soloing which was kinda impossible back then.. No xp, no adena, no nothing. THANK God we had an old friend who took our little wannabe mage to Magistri Operum and we got clan armors, adena and stuff for the beginning.
However, it was too tough to follow cos all the other players were already high enough, and we couldnt keep up under no circumstances..
So, we ended up playing on prive servers over and over again, doing countless of times the same old class change quests and trying to level and equip as soon as possible in order to taste a bit of the end game...
George never really got to play endgame with his char, since he had to fulfill his military service obligations, so I was left on the greek BNB prive server all alone, in a small clan, then in a bigger one, facing wars and doing awesome epic boss raids. Then we even got a clan of our own, consisting of friends and people our age (the average player age on bnb was like REALLY low) and right at the point when we finally got out A sets altogether (yes I got my A set at level 77 and it was a dark crystal robe for my stormie), boom! the server is closed down.
A few years and countless prive servers later here we are, all alone, starting allover again on Teon.
(Im gonna say one single thing. IF I ever, EVER have to do the second class change quest for a SH, honestly Im gonna jump out of the window, or cut my veins... so hopefully it's the last time for me)
Two weeks after joining, we dinged 50 and given the fact our jobs kinda suck, I think it's a great progress! So, here are my thoughts on Teon so far:
Rates
I love how the game is rly boosting the xp now and u can get lvled and buffed up pretty fast! If u consider the fact that my last SH was on a prive server with x4 xp and x4 adena and drops and I made it to 59 in 3 weeks, I think this is also pretty possible to do on Teon too. The adena and drop rates can be a huge problem tho cos in that case u lvl up pretty fast, without having the necessary wealth for the equipment of ur grade, but it's ok, been there, done that, I will settle with be when I should be wearing A grade! No prob with me at all :)
Players
Well I have to admit, that on all the fuckin servers Ive played and out of all the clans Ive been, Ive never seen so many good people in one clan. Unity is by far the best clan Ive been and Im having so much fun xping and chatting with u guys. You are all awesome and u made us both feel rly welcome from the very beginning.
Clan aside, the rest of the community is rly the same as in every server. You get to have ur occasional bot (thnx so much on the pk points on both my dorf and sh), your classic bully who wonders around in B while being S just to pk u (gf gf peeps! hope ur dicks have grown an inch now so as to be able to actually see them and pee properly), your classic predator (excuse me, but I need help with this: when a she-male hits on a girl for internet sex talk, doesnt it mean it's a straight guy in denial? Oo), your know-it-all, your poser, your Greek (yes we tend to be our own category, cos we suck in mostly all games as a community. we think we are too good for school, so ignore us), your pimp, your all around good guy and so on...
BUT all in all, I think the official servers have more classy people and even if those categories can be easily found on private servers too, maybe the fact that u actually pay real money for the whole game experience makes u more noble and chivalrious. Id love to hear ur views on that by the way :)
Game Experience
After reading for days about the Gracia update package, I really cant understand why people tend to say that it sucks. It doesnt! I mean let's face it. The last chronicle I played was Hellbound and the differences are devastating! You have a whole new world of options opened up now, so what's there not to like? The new skills? the new features? the instances? the territory wars? the dino pets? WHAT? Let's face it, L2 is a team game, it's real MMORPG (ok it lucks a bit in RP, but new quests and a beautiful lore can actually fill that gap in future updates) and ur main goal is PVP. You cant play it alone by no means. You can get the levels without a clan, but u will never get the gear and u will never get decent pvp. If u dont like that, then ok, go play Warhammer, WoW, Age of Conan (yack) or FFXIV when it comes out :)
Anyway... better stop mumbling now cos this could go on forever.
To sum it up, me and George are having an amazing time on Teon so far, thnx to our wonderful clannies! So thank u all for everything so far (special thnx to Narim or Vindr, Cheda, Ycra, AmeliaLeFay and her AuntieLily (i opws tin lew egw sta ellinika se vlaxiko stul - 8eia Liiiiliiiy Liiiykos), Juliano, Jarvaro, Lihman and of course our lovely leader AKJosch - hope to get to know u better mate :) I guess every single one of u know why Im thanking u. ;) And if Ive forgotten someone, Im sorry, it wasnt deliberate. Oh yes of course! Mr Pancakes for being Swedish and making us all laugh :D
So see u later ingame!
Kisskiss
THNX!
