No problem. It's the least I can do when you're translating things left and right. I don't know how exactly you do it so fast...

[catcathart]

yah how do you translate so much stuff so fast? because its kinda unnaturally jk.

[steffan393]

aww i adore that story!!

[plasma06]

that quest sounds like fun cant wait to do it good work again getting us stuff from kr to read

[catcathart]

is it me or is aion geting cooler and cooler by the minuet.

[jameinkaiser]

lol, its actually not that quick. takes me about an hour or two at most. i cant pull stuff like this as often on weekdays. plus the fact that i am a native speaker of both english AND korean helps.

[catcathart]

lucky you

[Mila]

that story is a fairytale in china and japan. not sure about korea but we grow up with it --;

[Le'lorinel]

the way all that was written, makes the quest sound like a narrative.
pretty cool.

Yup, the manga Ceres: Celestial Legend is based off of it. My sister forced me to read that forever ago...

[Cynthe]

Forced you? It is quite quite girly, I was all over that manga for some time, yearrrsss ago. What was her protector's name again? He was fine.... ^_^;;

I don't know. I hated how the one niceguy dude got shafted by everything and everyone while the badass got the girl's heart just because of plot haxx. ****ed me off. Before that she played Fushigi Yūgi nonstop on VHS. VHS. OLD OLD OLD FANSUBS. Geez, that was painful. Back-to-back, same author. My brain bled a little, I think. No-da.

I think the first anime I ever marathoned I marathoned with both my brother and sister and occasionally my mother. My sister brought it home from a friend of her's house (nerd dude, boyfriend of her best friend, dad was a weaboo too), along with Lodoss Wars (which never got watched, too damn confusing): Nadia. That was fun. It wasn't **** like most animu today. Even my parents considered it good, like a movie or something. Odd.

Anyhow, what were we talking about again? Naked ladies?

I love how they dressed up a simple delivery quest with plot and added in the risk of being caught by the nymph, and the different options you had to go with (tattling, killing the nymph, stealing her clothes, etc). It made the quest seem so much more interesting even though the basic function is nothing new. The background story made it, I think.

I'm also familiar with that fairytale. I read it a long time ago when I was in full weeaboo swing and practically studied everything Japanese for about four years.

lol yeah, quests in aion sound interesting. i think its nice that they divided the quests into main story quests (missions) and errands (quests..) so you would actually get a feel of what the story is like. a story-driven mmorpg! with cutscenes :O
