The story so far Chapter III: 2 months on Teon

Howdy dears :)

Time has actually slipped from my attention and I totally forgot to talk about the incidents during the second month of my adventures on Teon :)

Where to start... where to start... Anyway, I'll try and keep it coherent whatsoever :)

So...

My general feeling and taste after two months is still the same. Official servers are A PAIN! In many terms and aspects, but still a hell lot better than customized private ones for sure. For the first time my skills actually WORK the way they should and it really feels like I play the SH all over again from the beginning! That's really refreshing, given the fact that for 5 years, SH has always been my main, with the exception of a BD in Auras server and a Kamael on Zeus. So, Im really happy with that and I also love the fact that for the first time I play the updates instead of reading about them and eating my heart out that my server is two chronicles behind.

However, there are a few things that bother me and I somehow don't feel "at home" yet on Teon for some reason. Now let's analyse that a bit more, shall we?

Community:

The first thing I would like to talk about is the players on here. The first impression is a good one, cos I came across really nice people, willing to help from the very beginning. And I'm really grateful I play with a bunch of nice guys that I know I will have fun with throughout the whole time I'm gonna dedicate to this game.

However, taking a step back and observing the bigger picture, I come to the conclusion I don't like much people on Teon. The reasons vary a lot. First of all, this is an old server, meaning that the imbalances are humongous. Old players versus new players have a HUGE difference, which is not that big on private servers. This can cause many problems sometimes, or can solve problems in other cases, but anyway it exists and becomes frustrating sometimes. Oh well, you can't do anything about this, besides trying to be patient till u become an old player too hehehehe :)

Secondly, but most importantly, there's a whole bunch of stupid cheaters. And yes, we had that on private servers too, since most of them offer special treatment with nice items through donation or GM shops (which is basically the same), but honestly, the things that have been happening lately are unbelievable. People botting and buying adenas, lying, leeching all the fuckin time on u, people having attitude or threatening u is my everyday life on L2 the last month. Don't get me wrong. Everyone has their own right and are entitled to their own opinion and choice to play the game as they think it's best, but please, don't play us all for fools. That's what frustrates me the most... Well FYI I'm not stupid, so don't try to make a fool out of me.

I've had so many fights with people lately about all this shit. Cos I have this stupid tendency to try to bring people to reason, or make the truth shine, or even be the judge and bring justice. Sorry if this bothers you, it's just how I am even in my real life. I can't stand lies and stupidity. I have zero tolerance for those and that's the way I will always be, so live with it.

And last but not least... I don't understand how people don't get emotionally attached to anything here. I joined my clan and I love every person in there, even if we're not getting along well or haven't been in good terms since the beginning. Suddenly I see people leaving all the time or not participating in anything. Leaving us and what we are trying to achieve, not for one of the big allies, but just a random noob clan at best. This last month so many people left, that I have trouble keeping up. And still we, a solid core of a few people keep staying. This cutthroat departure from a clan is sth really new to me. Cause all my L2 life, on private servers with limited life span by default, a clan was sth to respect, embrace and try to get it higher. Me and George were clan leaders of a really small clan with only a couple of full parties, with our wars, our top gear, our everything and noone from the people who joined us ever left, cause we really made the best out of the game. And we even took down bigger clans with just one mixed party. Isn't it all about the spirit in the end? Doesn't seem so and this makes me sad. Cause especially on a server that won't ever close as long as the game exists, there's no rush for anything. But noone seems to care about such things anymore. Or maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic. I guess time will show.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I managed to get some enemies without any serious reason. It's not like I care or I'm afraid. I can take anything without a problem :) Well except from pk, cos I already have too many :P And thank God, most peeps that threatened me, including former clannies, are somehow too noobish to even bother (remember that SH in VOS Bobda?). It's just a bit stupid to be so worked up in a fuckin game! Chill people! LOL

OK, enough mumbling, confessions and deeper exploration! Now off to our next topic!

Leveling: 

Woohoo! Vitality event FTW! Yesterday I dinged 73 and given the fact that this month was kinda busier for me in real life, I played less and yet managed to level enough :) I wish I was already this high when the vit events begun so I could get even higher, but I'll only focus on the fact that it was an amazing boost for all of us. Yesterday I realized how painful it will be to xp from this point and on. Took me so many hours to get from 91% to the next level solo and the worst is yet to come heheheh :) But I'm enjoying myself very much guys! And thank u all for the great laughs on skype, teamspeak and ventrillo! I love every minute :D

So, Fayde is now 73, today I'm gonna finish her Q in Hot Springs and  I will try xp some more so as to hit 75 this weekend. Hopefully I will make it :) I think it's doable :)

Astridr, my poor little Kamael dinged 50. I focused on my main mostly through the vitality event and just a bit on my dwarf for obvious reasons, so no big changes for none of my alts. My Arbalester lost the level and got loads of pks on SoD, cos I thought I should give it another try, but I quit already cause I don't enjoy this all that much. Hopefully now that the events are over I will get back to my routine and get her to A Grade soon :)

Finally Rothdorf, my spoiler, has been very prolific :) She is 56, about to get 57 now and I have collected many useful mats in the meantime. I really enjoy playing with her cause she doesn't take much damage and I'm not afraid she will die :) 

And last but not least, my little Kooka, Oddin dinged 56 and is about to be 57. I hope I will still be able to level it with my main, cos unfortunately it's not doing anything for Fayde for now. The recharged mp is too little for her to solo and she could really use the buffs the other kooka I've been using has now that it dinged 65. Anyway, I will work this out, but any insight or advice is welcome :)

Money:

Same shit, different day. 'Nuff said :)

Parties:

I'm really glad I'm now eligible to start contributing more to the clan or helping other people. I've built up also my first constant, but due to a series of unfortunate events like hacked accounts and snap departure decisions, it can't actually work anymore. I will have to figure out a way to add new members there, so we can keep up now that we lost two key - members, but even if it doesn't I guess I can still solo a bit till the right time comes :)

As for the rest, a BIG BIG thnx to Bob and Fire for the FOG parties :* Love u guys and we really appreciate the help :)

HUGE thnx and hugs to my greek clannies for all the support on skype and ingame, it's really nice "buff" having u all there, to my friends in clan (you know who u are people) and our leader Akj :)

Anyway, I guess I should just wrap up now, cos being me, this could go on like forever hehehehe :)

I will add some screenshots from home for you guys, funny ones so come check back again later ^^

Thnx for reading my thoughts, I'll see u all ingame!

Kisskiss

ps. RAMMSTEIN ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK! 

Ich liebe euch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
