Leonidar's Game blog

So the other day I decided to test out the Russian servers, to see how they had things and how to get it to work, so this will be a small guide / article about how to do it and how it was.

When I first heard about the "grass is greener on the other side" servers, I was reading about it on Elliebelly about there Autoban system that "should" make it harder for people to cheat - like botting and using radar ingame, if this is true or not I don't know becuse I dident check it out long enough on the servers to actually see it.

But first I downloaded the client from the offical russian website http://l2.ru/  and created an account on there sister site https://my.4game.ru/hello.html?serviceId=6&utm_source=l2_ru&utm_medium=link&utm_content=download&did=

Using google translate tool bar this was hardly any problem as the translation works very well, After I had downloaded the client I started it up and I had to download a started program from 4game to get Lineage2 going. As Lineage2 started up it promted that I was not in the right location to play on these servers, but this was easy with just going in to your control panel and switching the location to Russia instead of mine Sweden.

So when I started it up this time I started like a charm, but ofc everything was in Russian so I had to fix that to, and as I had the English client on my computer I just replaced the files in the system folders that had the -ru extension with the english client files that had the -e extension and then the interface and almost everything was turned in to English, I got everything in to English expet the NPC's dialogs, I am sure this can be exchanged to but I dident wanna put to much time and effort in to it as I only wanted to check it out.

The first thing I noticed when I logged in to the Lineage2 russian servers was ofc the new Interface bar for there Micro-transactions button.

*Stones the Increase the Enchant rates of weapons.

*Tickets that do so you can enter Kamaloka more then one time aday.

*5 hour buff pet.

One thing that that I also noticed is that all these screenshots was not saved in the system folder but in a screenshot folder, Don't know if this is a Russian thing or will come with Freya to NA/EU to.

After I had looked around in the itemshop I decided to do the Wooden armor quest, and even if I dident understand Russian I had done it so many times before it was no issue, and the arrows pointed me were to go. I did all the started quests and ended up on level 20, I even meet a russian person that buffed me and laughed and wondered what I was doing there as I was no Russian.

After I dinged I decided to go and check the major towns like Giran and Aden, So I toke the gatekeeper there, and the towns were jammed packed with people, if I think Teon is busy this had 5 times more people in it, and the prices were extremly cheap, like Soulbow 15M, IC Gaites 6M etc.

As someone told me that on the Russian servers "if" you have all the extra xp boost items and the Premium account one get 9 times more xp then the NA/EU servers, So even if the serverI was on Desperion was only 3 weeks old I saw people in Destiny Set's.

They also had many if not all features that NA/EU dont have activated. The Russian servers seem solid and good from what I could tell, but It dont have KJ or my friends, and I don't fell like starting over so these servers is not an option for me atm.

I do wish that NCsoft implemented this on the NA/EU servers as I can really see Lineage2 having a re-birth on our servers then, here is some good and bad things listed.

Good things

• Lineage 2 is 100% free if you wish.
• There is a Premium account, that makes you get 100% more xp and more drops.
• the item mall seems to have alot of goodies in it.
• The servers are alot more populated.

Bad things

• With Free accounts comes ALOT of spammers in the towns.
• As I only understand English and Swedish, Events will be hard as I really dont understand a thing what the Event NPC said.

* cool Agathion

*Dwarf with Destiny set

This has taken me long enough but I finally dinged 80 last night, the last 2% was just horrible looking at the xp bar all the time just to realise it hadent moved much. So I am now in sell mode on the laptop, so I can get myself S80 gear.

Grinding , Grinding and some more Grinding that is what I have been up to, first of there was an "Gift of Vitality" event in Lineage2 that pretty much forced me to atleast xp 4 hours aday for 2 weeks

But the biggest grind came thanks to Gogfather and my birthday buff that I got the day after the vitality event ended.

I followed around poor Gogfather that was tired from the 2 weeks of event grinding but was kind enough to make the most of my birthday buff.

In two days 5 hours the first and 7 hours the second I made roughly 25 - 27% on level 79, I atleast think that is an azome grind.

I ended on roughly 88% after the birthday buff ran out and I am now doing the rest the slow way, I still have 19 vita pops left after the event so it shouldent take more then a week in my slow pace. I would get it sooner but I really need to do some rl stuff that I put on the side becuse of this event.

I have also have some very fun sieges against Inqusition,X ,SH, SL and BS, most people out gear me and outlevel me by far as I still havent even reached S80 but it is still a blast becuse sieges wouldent be fun with out enemys.

So here I am now 10% from 80 and getting adena for new Gear, I have my TW jewels waiting for me in WH and collecting Elemental stones to get Full 60/60/60 as soon as Freya hits offical server, if that now ever will happen.

Hope to see you all ingame enemys and friends alike.

Well what can I say never assume anything.

My son has been wanting to play Super Mario Sunshine for ages, but as this is a gamecube game and It is not sold in any store I haven't got around to it until now.

I got it on a Swedish site called Tradera basically a site like Ebay. I got it in the mail this morning and my son was very happy.

So I turned on the wii console and started the gamecube game, but as soon as the game started with the trailer the wii remote stopped working.

First thought was ok its the batteries because they were low, so I go out in the rain down to the store and buys a new pair of batteries, come home and change them and the wii remote STILL doesn't work.

So I thought well I Google it some more, and after some searching I find out I can't use the wii remote to the gamecube games, what the hell? They launch the Nintendo Wii with the information that it can run Nintendo Cube games only to find out you need to buy another controller.

So I am now either forced to to buy a controller AND as I also find out a memory card for the Nintendo Wii as apparently one can't even save Nintendo Cube games on the Nintendo Wii, and a Controller and a memory card is about the same money as a buying an entire Gamecube on Tradera.

So what can I say NEVER assume anything, and guess I will soon have a Nintendo Cube.

Hello everyone, it was a while since I last updated my game blog and a few things have happened since last.

So were shall I start, I will try at the beginning. For about 3 weeks ago I was very very close to re-roll my subclass Spellhowler once more just to be able to play something else. But as you know I have re rolled about 10 - 15 subclasses already so I decided to make and alt instead.

The alt I created was given the Epic name of MrPancakes, that's a name that will indu fear on to anyone on the battlefield for sure. I had a blast with him having parties every other day in cruma tower or some deep catacomb crawling for hours, but sadly I struck me there was no chance in bloody hell I would level this one up to 80 to participate in pvp and events. That would just take way to much time of me.

As I grew tired of the game I decided that I would give my main class a Sagittarius a fair shoot and get it to level 80 atleast, then of to 83. With this decision I also had to get a clan that had more fun for my class and that meant sadly to leave my clan Unity.

Even if the clan KJ was the first clan that came to mind I wanted to be 100% sure that this was the right choice so I had a real thinker. But as I already have had archer party on Fridays  with KJ and my gf is on the clan and many friends the choice was pretty clear.

So after I made my choice I thought I might try to get the Sagittarius abit better. First I decided that to enchant some skills I am not very high level so +10 is the highest I get ATM, but I now have successfully enchanted to my joy hehe

• Stunshot+10 chance
• Bow Mastery+10 Swiftness
• Quick step+10 Power
• Archery +1 power ( it was 48% chance or something I just had to try haha )
• Light Armor Mastery+7 Power ( ran out of SP )

I also wanted to get a new Augment for my Draconic bow +7 and after many Lifestones lv.76 I got the skill "Refresh" it is a 1 minute buff that decreases the re-use time of my skills by 5 seconds ( roughly ) ofc this made me very happy

And to top things of I also ordered a sexchange from NCsoft to get back my pee pee that was chopped of along time ago, I am not sure if NC have kept in the freezer or anything but after the downtime it was back.

And late last night Bobda gave me a party invite and to hunt with him in Forge of the gods, so I gained a few percent and that was really nice. So here I am . 

I would like to thank Everyone in Unity for there time, even if we are still friends and on the same server I will miss you in blue chat.

And at the same time I am glad about my pick of KJ and I think it will have a bright future.
