			<description><![CDATA[*W*ell, been a while now since my last post on Rohan, to be honest, I've been getting less and less motivated to play that game. It was fun during the first 2 weeks, but it's starting to show its true colors... 

Pretty much started after the item mall was introduced, I didn't mind since it's a F2P game, they need it, then seeing the prices on some items just almost made me fall off my chair. I personally didn't buy anything yet, nothing really interests me other than the new pets, an non-critical mount, some scrolls. I wanted to buy them, being an impulse buyer, but I have to stop myself and think, is this all worth my time? Now I start to understand why the lowered exp gains and long grind parties, they want you to purchase those exp and mob-kill scrolls, I mean it's still an option, but for some it's mandatory in order to save time, now it's just who gets higher level, it's not even fun no more. 

I originally thought that playing the game was for the community and friends, which is true in some ways, but later on I felt that my online friends are merely there, to...waste time before finding something else better to do, I feel the same way, only thing that really pushes me away is the long grind. A great part of the community pretty much went poof with the recent uproar on the mall and some changes in game which there was no patch notes for some damn reason. Only people left are fans, diehards and a few latching on with hopes of seeing the game getting fixed. The rush was over and the hype left many disappointed in another potential but failed game. I still play the game, but only a few hours every other day rather than clocking in 10-15 per day.

Of course every game has to have a staple of bots and RMT sites, oh you can turn off the channels, but they're still there spamming all day, all night. Really annoying to log on and first thing to see on chat is RMT sites spamming every 5 seconds.

I feel like playing most of the MMOs are like work, rather than being fun. Oh sure, there's new things to do, can explore, enjoy the eye-candy, play with friends, but in the end, its starting to feel like you have to work for the game now, I don't need another "job" in-game.

Another thing I really don't understand why the need for long grinds for anything in order to get the better part of the game, Don't mind the game to last long, make my money worth paying for, but I really don't need to be a semi-robot doing the same things over and over again, I can only tolerate grinds if its worth it or mean something. I really hope they put back the meaning of "fun" instead of "work" in games someday.]]></description>

			<title>Aion Source Was Once Cool; and What Aion Should Be For Me</title>
			<link>http://www.aionsource.com/forum/blogs/haeretik/219-aion-source-once-cool-what-aion-should-me.html</link>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, I'm sitting here reading Aionsource putting off work for a few more minutes to write a blog entry on one of the more concerning things about this community and game.

Am I wasting my time?

I used to post on this website regularly and desire to be a part of its community, but the more time I spent here, the more I realized I don't really identify with many in this bunch considering the large number of posts that I read that are absolute garbage or administratively pretentious.  The only good posts are ones concerning information released via the wonderful translations (Props to the O.T. -- original translator jameinkaiser).  Everything else is chaff.

Part two: Is this game for me?

You know, there's really only a few things that will decide if this game is worth playing for me.  

I want all-around good skills -- not necessarily super original, but useful, viable skillsets.  By the way, using stupid names for skills that do the same thing in other games is stupid.   Just use the same name if you can -- otherwise it sounds stupid.  (I.E. All the talents in Age of Conan.)

I want an excellent level of control with the gameplay.  Neglect in how fluid the keyboard and mouse controls the character will result in me being completely unable to do more than razorblade my eyes.  

I want end-game raiding.  I want instanced encounters related to game-lore that present multiple bosses of varying difficulties and strategy to challenge me and my guild ("Legion" is the dumbest **** name I've ever heard of.) for several hours a week.  The point being to work together as a group while having fun and obtaining new and improved pieces of armor for our characters.

I hate this movement amongst developers and mmorpg players to do something "new" that makes everything easier.   Age of Conan's real combat system is an example of failure out of the box.  No true MMORPG player wants to deal with three to five extra directional melee buttons on his hotbars.  Those could be used for spells!  

What about Tabula Rasa's great gameplay formula mixed in with the terrible absence of end-game apart from the endless war with NPCs?  Hello?  No player wants to fight an endless war unless it's against other players.  Real MMORPG players want progression and they want it in the form of bosses with items that are difficult to obtain.  The scarcity of the items that are the best will always keep players coming back and trying new things.  Cloning a character to avoid leveling it up (Tabula Rasa) basically reeks of, "since there's no real end-game here.. it's not worth your time to level another character so we won't make you do it!"

Basically, what I think is the problem is all the *****ing and moaning of players who like to act like they have less time to play the game than they truly do. "Oh my gawd I act way busier with life than I really am!"  I'm sorry, but game developers should not cater to players without time to dedicate to simple games.  Games are games and if you don't have time to play them, you don't have time to play them.  Do something else, like play with your kids, since that's what you're *****ing about. (Or anything else.)


I would conclude this properly, but I really have to go to work.  Hopefully, this entire post enlightens you and you join the ranks of enlightenment and MMORPGs.

I'll post something new, and very pointed next time.

*Edit:*

I don't like to use profanity much in my writing, but when I do, it is supposed to add a certain effect.  So, please, turn off the filtering because it is really ****ing annoying.

If it's client-side.  I'll find it when I get back from work.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I just don't feel like going through with some of the necessary processes to get a solid foundation for a guild or a Legion running.

The latest challenge? Loot rules!  This, as we all know, is also very pivotal in the success of a Legion.  The challenges are to make it easy enough for people of most playstyles in the Legion to feel like they have a shot at loot as well as rewarding those that are there, through thick and thin.

I had tentatively posted loot rules to people I had been gaming with for a while and was shot down.  So now, I'm back to the drawing board, trying to alter the system, whose foundation is completely solid, to make it more defined and refined.

This is the tough part.  I'm gonna need some frosty beverages for this crap....]]></description>

			<title>What is Happiness</title>

			<pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 02:21:38 GMT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[What is the happiness 

I  asked a question to several girls " what is happiness in your mind? " "If you sincerity loves your man, all happiness that you want that he can offer, but you do not like him very much, should be through accepting him for a long time. A man who you like very much, but that man does not like you very much, what you want is happy he can not offered to you at all, only you yourself go to create hard, which one will you select to roll over? " The same question, has asked different persons, have offered me different answers. (http://www.wladbladi.com/forum/blogs/hongkonger/) 

One is said " she will select to roll over the first, because no matter like, what he only wanted is happy ", on satisfying if stay in happiness while living in the world. " Such an answer reality very much, sigh over this affectionate world with feeling again, live in this world alone, for what is it? The happiness is the thing that the woman yearns for most, this woman is lucky that can live with the loved man happily for all one's life, I feel select, roll over one girl perhaps can order happy, because the man will have one side which he showed consideration for, it is the women that will all act like a child, want to be fond ofed, if this man loves this girl wholeheartedly, will pay attention to all the girl's images, observe all her details, perhaps a behavior of love of girl can produce the most romantic compliment to this boy, he will the whole release without reserve to the girl.  (http://thinkteen.co.uk/forum/blogs/hongkonger/)

Second answer " to like her man she like, the man she that she like never marry him too. " I have no language in this kind of answer, what happy on earth in her eyes?  (http://www.pmsclan.com/forum/blog.php?u=8525)

She does not love the man who loves her, but because the man whom she loves does not love her, she will not go to marry him either, then where on earth is her fate? (http://www.physiobob.com/forum/blog.php?u=42639) 

The love is the thing most difficult to understand in the world, it could experience each other diligently only between men and women, outsider only pieces of onlooker, will comfort you, succeed in while being getting sad, can only send you blessings, how many people had once had romance, how many people swore an cath of enduring fidelity, have how much people fool among kindhearted lie, sweet speech cipher those years can only move towards divorcing finally.  (http://www.9lolo.com)

The third kind of answer " selects to roll over the second, court that man who she likes. " All kinds of things need people to create in this world, the way in life comes out by oneself, rich in variety flower of the road, one one's own only too, must confirm which one is one's own, this flower is another companion of your life before plucking. (http://wirednewyork.com/forum/blog.php?u=19837) 

Happiness is the something you're pursuing, I admire those girls who take initiative move for pursuing man,  at the same time I also worried for them, because men easyly change their emotion, his superiority would show someday in the future,  the present happiness doesn't necessary mean it would happened in the future.

			<description><![CDATA[You disappeared in my world, I even suspect whether you have appeared in my life.  I back to my life without you, I tell myself to forget, but your smile does not carve stubborn rocking in front of me when not having, falling thick and fast Yin in the rain, the smiling face getting cracked one hundred thousand of you in the nice and warm first rays of the morning sun, every one is vivid and true, inlay it in the deepest place of my memory (http://www.realcouplecam.com/forum/blog.php?b=11). 

I tell everything one's own to disappear quickly, walk in the bustling with activity crowd and make me incomparably cold under the bright and beautiful sunshine unexpectedly, squat in ground suddenly, pain that heart seize, ache can't wheeze, I know oneself purpose Italy and then very much again very that time not inhaling. Will suddenly wake at quiet night, the deserted tears drench the pillow, perhaps this grows this generation can not go out of the name cried and shouted in that dream, perhaps this is the call not answering forever (http://www.pmsclan.com/forum/blog.php?b=92)   

I do not know what oneself is doing. Everything that I do today will regret afterwards. At very deep night, will suddenly wake up, the child that want not to meet. Will often dream at night the child with big and the same thumb runs and dances at my side, turned a somersault, my eyes blinked without looking at him blinking, can't see his appearance clearly at last (http://www.physiobob.com/forum/blog.php?b=68)   

Said to oneself, this was my child at that time when I pushed the operating room open, I want to kill him. A lifelike life will leave my health soon, but I can't know his look forever, can't touch his skin forever, can not hear him call me mother forever   

The quiet one lies on the operation bed, look at the crazy struggle in the rain that the tree rocked desperately outside the window is not resting, lifelike my baby in the belly at this moment. Without the time of consciousness Third Five-Year Plan Period minute, can feel the faint beating of heart, I stand up calmly from bed. See a doctor and throw the badly mutilated baby that has not shaped away on the white plate, I seem to feel he moved, open desperate hands like the baby suddenly, scarlet and white and shocking, assistant claiming, saying 15 simple, fall get one big barrel, I dull to see they, small nurse come, support I connection through one's female relatives of tying, low voice say to me your skirt is very much beautiful, in where buy, tears stop, well up, come up from level to level quarter, she alarmed to see me at a loss (http://www.masinac.org/blog/?w=hongkonger). 

In my eyes at that time, you were a child. With you I feel oneself more elder sisters and mothers like you, forgive and move and step aside, but there are a lot of things even work hard and can not do well. You entertain very big hope to me, but I always let you down. As to yours hospitable I have been scrutinizing, has suspected whether you are sincere. Always afraid which a word lets you stamp with rage and my ceaselessly quarrel. But you see me from afar each time, you around me have been very quiet all the time, the ones that have lacked in the telephone on ordinary days are manic. Help me wash clothes cook, do well all of family, from initial fear in you to have a sentimental attachment for I. 

Such one let love of my pain penetrates even into the marrow have no beginning of the omen at all. Love deeply, quarrel, shut it well, it is in love each other that we use the special way, injuring each other. That I go to Beijing at the time of the last quarrel, forget what reason quarrels over when leave, I begin again to be noisy while phoning you on the train, the words talking about the other side of much injury each other. You send a message to me every day after I reach Beijing, I have not been going back all the time, I want to spend this period thinking whether we will continue together too, in love each other but injuring each other, it is grieved each time. Such love let me try to stop but cannot but ache thorough heart Philippines. 

I send message to you at road that Beijing come back after the one week, ask " we have a talk while being necessary, if you do not think on being such "  . You answered messages at that time, " you said so, I did not mind " . We are all persons with very strong self-esteem, will not lay down the arms and surrender easily, in this way I grit one's teeth and insist on, I can tell oneself. 

All the time weak and feeble after going home, have a dizzy spell, go to the hospital to check the thing that I am most afraid and happen, pregnant. The dim one comes back, I know you can leave me heartlessly, then this life has no possibility born, an unmarried woman of mine may grow him. 

I take place message tell you whether you have, shy, have, like, have, greet, answer 2 words " sow " only . Then have no sound. And then phone you you twice and has not answered. I feel the straining that the heart is not stopping, have been crashing into the bottom of valley all the time. Like the drowned person can not catch everything, I dab another hand lightly with one's own ice-cold hands, hands are trembling the heart is trembling ceaselessly too. What I can make is to let oneself be quiet. I know why is all these even if I mistaken the time should not escape, suddenly felt oneself was very silly and very silly, you had never loved me originally, you know heart to be good, such a age pregnant to mean anything, you sound no, there is not telephone that there are no messages, even does not answer my telephone, I scrutinize oneself quietly, scrutinize this section of emotions of destroying my will, a burst of is chilly, spread on the bottom of heart desperately, open the wardrobe, all over clothes that dabed you by once of hand, mumble, why do not you love me great wave? Why did not you suddenly love me? Do not you really need child and me?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>You disappeared in my world, I even suspect whether you have appeared in my life.  I back to my life without you, I tell myself to forget, but your smile does not carve stubborn rocking in front of me when not having, falling thick and fast Yin in the rain, the smiling face getting cracked one hundred thousand of you in the nice and warm first rays of the morning sun, every one is vivid and true, inlay it in the deepest place of my memor<a href="http://www.realcouplecam.com/forum/blog.php?b=11" target="_blank">y</a>. <br />
<br />
I tell everything one's own to disappear quickly, walk in the bustling with activity crowd and make me incomparably cold under the bright and beautiful sunshine unexpectedly, squat in ground suddenly, pain that heart seize, ache can't wheeze, I know oneself purpose Italy and then very much again very that time not inhaling. Will suddenly wake at quiet night, the deserted tears drench the pillow, perhaps this grows this generation can not go out of the name cried and shouted in that dream, perhaps this is the call not answering foreve<a href="http://www.pmsclan.com/forum/blog.php?b=92" target="_blank">r</a>   <br />
<br />
I do not know what oneself is doing. Everything that I do today will regret afterwards. At very deep night, will suddenly wake up, the child that want not to meet. Will often dream at night the child with big and the same thumb runs and dances at my side, turned a somersault, my eyes blinked without looking at him blinking, can't see his appearance clearly at las<a href="http://www.physiobob.com/forum/blog.php?b=68" target="_blank">t</a>   <br />
<br />
Said to oneself, this was my child at that time when I pushed the operating room open, I want to kill him. A lifelike life will leave my health soon, but I can't know his look forever, can't touch his skin forever, can not hear him call me mother forever   <br />
<br />
The quiet one lies on the operation bed, look at the crazy struggle in the rain that the tree rocked desperately outside the window is not resting, lifelike my baby in the belly at this moment. Without the time of consciousness Third Five-Year Plan Period minute, can feel the faint beating of heart, I stand up calmly from bed. See a doctor and throw the badly mutilated baby that has not shaped away on the white plate, I seem to feel he moved, open desperate hands like the baby suddenly, scarlet and white and shocking, assistant claiming, saying 15 simple, fall get one big barrel, I dull to see they, small nurse come, support I connection through one's female relatives of tying, low voice say to me your skirt is very much beautiful, in where buy, tears stop, well up, come up from level to level quarter, she alarmed to see me at a los<a href="http://www.masinac.org/blog/?w=hongkonger" target="_blank">s</a>. <br />
<br />
In my eyes at that time, you were a child. With you I feel oneself more elder sisters and mothers like you, forgive and move and step aside, but there are a lot of things even work hard and can not do well. You entertain very big hope to me, but I always let you down. As to yours hospitable I have been scrutinizing, has suspected whether you are sincere. Always afraid which a word lets you stamp with rage and my ceaselessly quarrel. But you see me from afar each time, you around me have been very quiet all the time, the ones that have lacked in the telephone on ordinary days are manic. Help me wash clothes cook, do well all of family, from initial fear in you to have a sentimental attachment for I. <br />
<br />
Such one let love of my pain penetrates even into the marrow have no beginning of the omen at all. Love deeply, quarrel, shut it well, it is in love each other that we use the special way, injuring each other. That I go to Beijing at the time of the last quarrel, forget what reason quarrels over when leave, I begin again to be noisy while phoning you on the train, the words talking about the other side of much injury each other. You send a message to me every day after I reach Beijing, I have not been going back all the time, I want to spend this period thinking whether we will continue together too, in love each other but injuring each other, it is grieved each time. Such love let me try to stop but cannot but ache thorough heart Philippines. <br />
<br />
I send message to you at road that Beijing come back after the one week, ask &quot; we have a talk while being necessary, if you do not think on being such &quot;  . You answered messages at that time, &quot; you said so, I did not mind &quot; . We are all persons with very strong self-esteem, will not lay down the arms and surrender easily, in this way I grit one's teeth and insist on, I can tell oneself. <br />
<br />
All the time weak and feeble after going home, have a dizzy spell, go to the hospital to check the thing that I am most afraid and happen, pregnant. The dim one comes back, I know you can leave me heartlessly, then this life has no possibility born, an unmarried woman of mine may grow him. <br />
<br />
I take place message tell you whether you have, shy, have, like, have, greet, answer 2 words &quot; sow &quot; only . Then have no sound. And then phone you you twice and has not answered. I feel the straining that the heart is not stopping, have been crashing into the bottom of valley all the time. Like the drowned person can not catch everything, I dab another hand lightly with one's own ice-cold hands, hands are trembling the heart is trembling ceaselessly too. What I can make is to let oneself be quiet. I know why is all these even if I mistaken the time should not escape, suddenly felt oneself was very silly and very silly, you had never loved me originally, you know heart to be good, such a age pregnant to mean anything, you sound no, there is not telephone that there are no messages, even does not answer my telephone, I scrutinize oneself quietly, scrutinize this section of emotions of destroying my will, a burst of is chilly, spread on the bottom of heart desperately, open the wardrobe, all over clothes that dabed you by once of hand, mumble, why do not you love me great wave? Why did not you suddenly love me? Do not you really need child and me? The tears have overflowed the desperate and helpless heart on the all over the place face of floors of all over the place eyes   <br />
<br />
I walk in the spacious room alone at dark night, there is your your breath of trace everywhere, I know this one life this waits soul waited for and is reborn in several thousand years has no chance to come in this world, but I wait in two days, tell oneself, wait for one minute, wait for one minute again, you will not let me down.

			<description><![CDATA[Houshi comes to store to look for me, very make me excited for a period of time. Have news of her ten year, think she still in that city city, township town of the township stay. Know she has not worked, free at home, can't just surmise that she not good at house work appears, why god son? Why send the loneliness not dreamt of? Houshi is a woman who has sagacity very much, there are too many dreams when being young, tell multicolouredly, drazzling. But listened to mother's arrangement finally, had married a man with good family circumstances, come back home to be a housewife. This make me confused, for a long time, ask she is because unwilling to let her regard me as little woman to wind tongue. 

Know and because of a performance with Houshi. Beijing opera exactly well-known for a time in " sand house bank " at that time. According to the current situation at that time, Houshi is unworthy of playing the lead, her family had a political issue, mother is controlled on the unit. But her artistic skills and vocal music in a Chinese opera are born and matched in excellence or beauty with the speciality, the appearance is proper, the school forcing her to study in lets her play the role of Sister A Qing, the ultra man that their reputation is not inferior to now exceeds women. Houshi not only will act in a play, but also will play the violin, while remembering knowing her, she has been already practising the campstool then, I just started, the basic etude that that was given and accepted was the farad. 

Met each other with her for the last time ten years ago, it was in the auditorium of municipal Party committee, was at the time of a performance too. She heard from people this performance had me, came to meet me specially. She tells me, she is so hopeless as to perform, the musical instrument has not been played either; Say the lover has gone abroad, she takes children at home. The lover of Houshi is translated by Japanese, often abroad. Houshi did not tell me that she wanted to go abroad too at that time. Did she explain later, this one of hers walks at the ends of the earth, I wonder when to meet? But sentimental the hows and whys arises. See me have very good interest that day again, unwilling to sweep my excitement, so said nothing. 

This ten years, I am too busy, diligent for family's life whole-heartedly, light a lot of friends' exchanges. Even recalling dreaming and with a common goal friending that had once, Houshi float, go I that one of brain at first always. 

Having seen Houshi this time, the primary impression has been turned into the dress, a handful of hair is wiped into one tuft backward, tie a horse hair with the rubber band. One copies dresses of the Tang Dynasty that dragons embroidered the phoenix, know once looking at it is the counterfeit goods produced and sold here. Houshi in the past was very fashionable, the cotton skirt of a long and knee of cage, a pair of pullover leather shoes, covered with pitons the vamp. In the evening, we go to border on the way in the south, Houshi colleague and friend in the past shouted in the hotels having a favourable wind to give a dinner of welcome in one for her. Because go to attend a banquet, Houshi has made up sedulously, have worn the wig of of each, has pencilled one's eyebrows, have draw the line of eyes, has applied red red lip. It is not still that Houshi in the past in my eyes. Ten years are not short, enough to enable a person to remould oneself thoroughly, from familiar to strange. 

During the feast, everybody offer wine of Houshi in turn, say a lot of to admire very much her, sprain she tell her life in foreign countries again. Houshi well-organized to say a lot of, it sounds as if, only take a word to include all meanings in me, that is the hardships and difficult of life. 

Houshi only has Chinese of the beginning, has no speciality oneself. Sing well in Beijing opera, it's a pity that has not continued taking an advanced study; The violin has been pulled to gram and tied tight and stopped working the most, very sorry. She mostly work as a temporary labourer for local Chinese in ten years, such as the odd job in the restaurant, the custody in the warehouse, nursing in the hospital is mostly the work not needing characters language to be exchanged. 

The wine is when being to heart's content, enters a country gradually, everybody teases, hope that goes abroad to call a great good job in life. Ask me, my cool way, has never thought of going abroad. Just as what Mr. Lu Xun have said: The old woman who picks up the cinder will not plant orchids; Jiao Da will not marry younger sister Lin and become a wife. I loud go alien land of foreign country, that only goes to travel too. It is shortsighted to brag, have no ambition, or can not wipe out the grape hates grapes sourly, people must have self-knowledge, still can be put up with and mixed food and clothing one in front of one's own door like my skill, go to unfamiliar with the place and the people, two one place that blacken the name of, like how can like, feel just like fish in water so now free? 

After the mat comes loose, go for brilliantly illuminated bordering on the way in the south and having a picture taken as a memento to commemorate with the friend of Houshi and Houshi. Houshi has taken a photograph of the group photo of everybody quite a lot of from drawing and there emerged a fool's camera in the personal satchel. Photo that afterflush come out close one's eyes dark dark two day, people dissolve shade, rarely seen airline outline; The background is fuzzy too, the pavilion platform of the pavilion, lake scene mountains and rivers that can not say. Carrying the digital camera in my satchel too, just unwilling to injure the self-respect of Houshi, have not taken out after all finally. 

Houshi leaves the telephone number to give to me when left, says she often rushes about outside, takes two posts at present, one is a score keeper of the gambling house of Las Vegas, one is the odd-jobman of the hospital. Family's telephone is the recording mostly, if I look for her and get in touch, right by all means 

Recording say,will come back home she go listen. I have tried to set aside it once, have wanted a bunch of words making the person muddleheaded, do not know whether whether to put through or not put through? That is on one New Year's Eve, think and send a care and greet as this friend in alien land of foreign country. 

Houshi has not called either, that connection which depends on the recording is broken too. When to return to hometown again? Will not it be another ten years? Houshi has checked and calculated me, regarded as and be regarded as the travelling expenses it must cost 1,000 dollars really, convert to RMB of thousands of yuan to make her so awkward too, it is obvious it is very difficult on the outside for her. 

It is not really the paradise abroad, there is the one that rides a horse everywhere, took the sedan-chair, all have no horse, there is no sedan-chair to leave too. Will not lose the pie in the sky, where must all pay the sweat in order to survive, pay the hardships, make it hard!

I started a week and a half ago as an intern at NexGenTech.

It's a computer engineering company. I'm learning a whole lot about computers and such. So far I've only set up servers and networks, and added computers to the domain and ya-da-ya-da, but since I love computers, I can see this as a job that I could really get into. I also got lucky as I found out it's not easy to get a job as an intern at computer companies, as there's so many people trying to get into computers. (Because of the money.) It's just my dad's welding company, www.jfmenzia.com had hired them as their tech guys, and I got offered the job, and voila! That's 1 reason as to why I wasn't on AionSource, heh. (Other reason being AoC. :D)

			<title>Trip in Gonghai</title>

			<description><![CDATA[On the vast plateau of the west of Sichuan, there is a place that makes persons especially have a deep longing for -----Gonghai. 
       
It seems to be a magnificent and incomparable pearl inlaid on a towering crown, flamboyant, sparkling. 
       
Plateau hospitable sunshine warm enormous sparkling and crystal-clear emerald that dissolve as one, ripple among hills and mountains fully, with aboundless expanse of blue water. 

On day, unusually dark, take and is wrapped and wrapped up in the drum those department cape swung strangely like the old Yi's afterbirth. 
       
Cloud, more very urgently overcast, so urgent that make great efforts two heavy eyebrows blown to wrinkle like Heavens. 
       
If lock continuously between the clouds on day, boundless and indistinct and endless, not completely a silk daylight. 
       
But I can out of admiration for the reputation Cheng Xing finally. 
       
The rain floats in the sky, the oblique and oblique " rustles " of drizzle like the dense needle And fall, make the liver moss on the stone steps dark more green, more tender, make people cherish further.

			<title>Loot should be received by tokens!!!!</title>
			<link>http://www.aionsource.com/forum/blogs/severn/199-loot-should-received-tokens.html</link>
			<pubDate>Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:32:36 GMT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[No...dear god no...i hope that this is not the way the game works.  

I'm of the opposite school of thought.  I hate the token system that blizz created and i would really hate to see another easier way of gearing up be instituted in a game.

The reason Blizz uses this system is because WoW is a game where gear is required in order to progress.  I'm of the mind that thinks skill should be more important and rare and powerful drops are just that "rare".  

It bugs me seeing a whole server running around in something that is labeled as "rare" or "epic" or "unique." its not rare, epic or unique if 5000 other people have it on the same server.  Maybe "high quality" but not rare or epic.

But the idea that everyone should get tokens off every boss...well you're just re-hashing the badge of justice system.  So what will you put in place of the epic stuff lost to this crappy, farmable token system?  

Quick recap: Rare and Epic = RARE AND EPIC.  Not good gear that is easily obtainable if you farm.  It shouldn't work that way.

In my opinion you should be able to farm for HIGH QUALITY, but still not the best, still not rare, and still not epic.

Blizzard has ruined games in this respect.  UBER LOOT FOR EVERYONE.  Now those 9 million spoiled people (because 1 million or so of them work at their gear and are probably skilled players) will not want to play a game any other way because they wont be able to get some of the best items in the game within two weeks of hitting the level cap.

Again, Rare and epic loot = rare and epic loot and not be obtainable through farming any kind of badges or tokens or anything of the sort.  These items are obtained from downing epic world bosses or acheiving something that others cannot acheive.

I am game for high quality loot that is good, though not epic or the best, be obtained via a token or badge system of some sort.  Fine.

But I hope that the Dev's do not bow down to the spoiled brats and give them a token system for their easily achievable eipc loot.

please....]]></description>

			<title>The Bounty System</title>
			<link>http://www.aionsource.com/forum/blogs/haubix/198-bounty-system.html</link>
			<pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 08:14:55 GMT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[*Bounty Hunter (NPC)*
(You'll be able to set a bounty on a Elyos/Asmodian player)

It's a NPC in the major towns. From him you'll have 2 possibilities:

a.) _Creating Bounty_

You'll be able to create a "Bounty Quest" including following options:

- Set duration of "Bounty Quests" to 1/7/14/30 day(s)
- Set reward (money and/or items) - you have to have these things in your inventory.
- Set predefined Objectives (kill player xy ten times / get his head / get 20 teeth / etc.)
After you created your "Bounty Quest" and paid a small fee (proportional to the difficulty of the quest - kill player x 10 times is cheaper than 100 times), the items/money defined as reward will disappear from your inventory and the quest will become active.
- You're allowed just to have 3 Bounty Quests created by you at the same time.

b.) _Getting "Bounty Quests"_

You can check a list / bulletin for quests which are active and can accept Bounty Quests (up to 3 at the same time).

After the first one completed and turned in the quest, everyone else on the quest gets a notice that the quest has finished by player xy. 
Now all others cannot proceed with / end this specific quest, but they have the chance to turn it in and get money proportional to the percentage of completing. 
For example the goal was to kill someone 10 times and a player completed right now the quest. 
You also participated in the quest, but you only have 4/10 kills. 
You walk to the NPC and get 4/10th of the initial reward (if items are included in the reward, you only get money). 
So you get a bit for your effort.

Explanation about factions: If you create a Bounty Quest that includes to kill your own kind, the quest won't be available on your side but on the enemy side at the respective NPC on the other side.

Since Aion will be more a PvP oriented game, this method will keep the game dynamic.
If you find a player harrassing/killstealing/whatever you, you can easily punish him in an elegant way. 
Also you don't have to get angry that you can't kill him due game mechanics (Elyos can't kill Elyos and Asmodians can't kill Asmodians).

*Additions*


When someone puts a bounty on your head, you are notified by a letter from "Anonymous" in your mailbox.

Also there is a bounty level range of 5 levels above/below you. 
If you are max level, you can set Bounties on every level, but the fee (mentioned above) will increase significantly with the level difference.
If it's vice versa, it's also expensive. 
This prevents making alts to create cheaper Bounties.

For example (the numbers are only for comparison):
You: 50, Enemy: 45 -> Fee of Bounty Quest "Kill player x 10 times" = 1,000.
You: 50, Enemy: 12 -> Fee of Bounty Quest "Kill player x 10 times" = 100,000.
You: 12, Enemy 17 -> Fee of Bounty Quest "Kill player x 10 times" = 100.
You: 12, Enemy 50 -> Fee of Bounty Quest "Kill player x 10 times" = 100,000.]]></description>

- Set predefined Objectives (kill player xy ten times / get his head / get 20 teeth / etc.)<br />
After you created your &quot;Bounty Quest&quot; and paid a small fee (proportional to the difficulty of the quest - kill player x 10 times is cheaper than 100 times), the items/money defined as reward will disappear from your inventory and the quest will become active.<br />
- You're allowed just to have 3 Bounty Quests created by you at the same time.<br />
<br />
b.) <u>Getting &quot;Bounty Quests&quot;</u><br />
<br />
You can check a list / bulletin for quests which are active and can accept Bounty Quests (up to 3 at the same time).<br />
<br />
After the first one completed and turned in the quest, everyone else on the quest gets a notice that the quest has finished by player xy. <br />
Now all others cannot proceed with / end this specific quest, but they have the chance to turn it in and get money proportional to the percentage of completing. <br />
For example the goal was to kill someone 10 times and a player completed right now the quest. <br />
You also participated in the quest, but you only have 4/10 kills. <br />
You walk to the NPC and get 4/10th of the initial reward (if items are included in the reward, you only get money). <br />
So you get a bit for your effort.<br />
<br />
Explanation about factions: If you create a Bounty Quest that includes to kill your own kind, the quest won't be available on your side but on the enemy side at the respective NPC on the other side.<br />
<br />
Since Aion will be more a PvP oriented game, this method will keep the game dynamic.<br />
If you find a player harrassing/killstealing/whatever you, you can easily punish him in an elegant way. <br />
Also you don't have to get angry that you can't kill him due game mechanics (Elyos can't kill Elyos and Asmodians can't kill Asmodians).<br />
<br />
<font size="3"><div align="center"><b>Additions</b></div></font><br />
<br />
When someone puts a bounty on your head, you are notified by a letter from &quot;Anonymous&quot; in your mailbox.<br />
<br />
Also there is a bounty level range of 5 levels above/below you. <br />
If you are max level, you can set Bounties on every level, but the fee (mentioned above) will increase significantly with the level difference.<br />
If it's vice versa, it's also expensive. <br />
This prevents making alts to create cheaper Bounties.<br />
<br />
For example (the numbers are only for comparison):<br />
You: 50, Enemy: 45 -&gt; Fee of Bounty Quest &quot;Kill player x 10 times&quot; = 1,000.<br />
You: 50, Enemy: 12 -&gt; Fee of Bounty Quest &quot;Kill player x 10 times&quot; = 100,000.<br />
You: 12, Enemy 17 -&gt; Fee of Bounty Quest &quot;Kill player x 10 times&quot; = 100.<br />
You: 12, Enemy 50 -&gt; Fee of Bounty Quest &quot;Kill player x 10 times&quot; = 100,000.</div>

			<description><![CDATA[At long last...I've finally reach past the 40th level mark, currently 44...so 6 more levels till I start on the subclass quest to get Priest! Well I'm going pretty slow compared to some of my friends I've met in-game, they're either 1-2 levels from 50, there's 1 already 50 and is a Ranger now. This is really the only other game besides Lineage 2 where I committed a lot of time so far. =X

So in my first post, I went on with EpochReborn as my guild, but lately certain issues as in lacking leadership...(Guild leader is off due to international business), much drama between guilds and new one popping almost everyday it seems to in-conflict between our own members. So...I've had it and left, most of my friends already started leaving, seems the mass recruitment really has shattered a potential guild into 2 now it seems. 

One of the officers seem to have took control of the situation and decided to split the guild into 2, a pve/casual which is still Epoch and another hardcore/powerleveler pvp guild called TorturedPhenix (It's missing the o due to limit of characters put into guild name). While I don't mind the reformation, I just don't know about how will the old leader will react when he does come back. >.> Epoch seems to be falling apart now, I see less and less people with the Epoch tag now...

So, I went to another guild, DarkTestament which was the 3rd guild made out when the server was still new, so far it's has more members than Epoch, though I usually see maybe 1/3 on the most at peak times. It's also where most of my friends went to also due to the same reasons which I ended up leaving. There appears to be a guild meeting tomorrow mainly because of new ranks to be put out and to remove all the inactive people, the leaders so far are active and recruited quite a few high levelers more than Epoch.

I'm currently in full Graham set, the stats a bit lacking, refinements are getting more expensive, but it's ok looks nice on the avatar. =O Working on the next set, Natu, still need tasset and armor to complete and I'm also building the next unique set. Also I actually successful crafted a rare wand...which lvl 23...but it was nice to have. =)

I have to say, they seem to like making shield designs, some of them really look impressive, though some of them are lacking on the other side.

I haven't really explored all of the world map, still quite a few places haven't explored yet, but I'll get there soon enough. I should be 50 by the end of this week, or maybe a few days after, I really can't wait to get the Almighty buff spell (+15% to ALL STATS). 

And I just realized...tomorrows Friday the 13th...so until next week of Rohan Online. Thanks for reading. =O]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So life goes on and on and am no longer strictly staying at home any longer. Which is great news to me as it's an opportunity to spread my wings a bit further then my front door which I neglect doing normally. 

I've always been an inside type of person, always reading or drawing, in the last 10 years since I've owned my first PC I've done nothing but play on the computer in my pass times. The only thing I do for exercise is walking, which is surprisingly a very good way to get and stay in shape. However without a job and a reason to get out, the walking bit takes a serious back seat. 

Four years ago I was very active as I was working full time, I still had some time for my City and Heroes or Guild Wars for an hour a night, and an hour with my daughter. Which is actually not all that much as she was only 2 years old. I had to work then because my now spouse was my then ex boyfriend. But we worked things out, over a period of almost a year, and I moved back with him. At which point he was more successful then ever, providing an option for me to stay home. Our child was only 3 then, so it worked great. 

Now that she is 7, mommy is starting to find she wants to do something else. As previously blogged, I did get a job at a computer store as warranty specialist. But it was not working out for a few reasons. The ones I mentioned were time issues, it was full time which worked fine as long as my spouse worked at home. But he then went ahead and quit his job and was instantly hired at a new firm. Poof he could no longer work at home as this new position was a lot more demanding. I never liked having my daughter in daycare, that and it's bloody expensive as well. My other issue were the amount of mistakes I was making while being trained and the constant questions I was throwing at my trainer, after a while we did not get along well, she had no sympathy or tolerance. 

At this time I was very frustrated, I consulted my family doctor and told her about my issues at work, she then referred me to a friend of hers who deals with learning disabilities. Turns out a month or so later I was diagnosed with CAPD, Central Auditory Perception Disorder. The job I was trying to learn and perform relied heavily on my hearing ability, I would have spent a great deal of time on the phone as well as listening to instructions and hearing out complaints... I was quite obviously not well suited for the job from the get go. But as many other adults out there, I had no idea. I had never held a job which required to rely on my hearing, everything else I had done I could compensate by seeing or reading. There was very little visual cues in the warranty job other then filling out forms, and still then many people at this establishment relied on verbal communication.

But finally we did figure out something I could do without sending our child to after school care. I am now employed by my husband and I do proof reading of his reports, binding, mailing and miscellaneous things that needs to be dealt with. I am done by the time I need to pick up my daughter from school and a whole lot happier that I can get out, get walking and do something different under someone that won't roll their eyes when I don't understand something. :p

			<description><![CDATA[My useless rant...

I suppose you could say this has not been a good week for me. My car has been acting up again, I think the transmission is going out and I accidentally locked my keys inside of it again today, yes I am an idiot. I know I should be studying for my A+ Microcomputer exam however I just don't feel motivated to do so. I feel more so like setting here listening to music and reading manga. It's hot outside, scolding probably a 100 degrees. I know some people enjoy that type of weather but I really don't, the air conditioner is my best friend in such situations.

I think I need a new play list... these songs are getting old quickly. I think I have a lot of stuff piling up on my dvr, but I really don't feel like watching it, I don't feel like doing anything but sleeping all the time really. I need to snap out of it and go do something, although I don't know what I would do since most of my friends have moved away, now work or have familys. I suppose I could go watch a movie, but that is merely a minor distraction. If I really wanted a movie I suppose I could download one on limewire... ugh I don't know.

Why am I ranting...? I don't usually do this, I guess I have just been particularly gloomy lately and need to vent it... sorry for wasting your time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[...is well...a wait.

I even found myself getting wrapped up in pre-release arguments that I usually do not allow myself to get involved in.  "Aion should be like..." or "X better not be how the game works..."

So I have taken a step back to look at the comments and what not that were made and have decided that I won't be posting anything else unless its in regards to factual statements made by the dev's themselves, as such speculation is just that -- speculation.

I found myself criticizing others' ideas that they think would make the game fun, and that's usually not how I roll.

Ah, introspection.  This is the kind of crap that happens when you have too much time on your hands.  

As an addendum: I have been discussing Legion recruitment with Adoric (the co-founder of our Legion) and we have decided to go ahead and move forward with light recruitment, pre-beta testing and then recruiting a bit more heavily during beta-testing, and then full-on once the game comes out.

Everyone is concerned with a Legion's loot rules and raid schedule etc.  A lot of this will be fine-tuned once we have the opportunity to see how all of the different variables work.

My thoughts: In an instanced raid situation, if a piece of gear drops, anyone who can use for their primary gear set is free to roll on it.  If it is for an offset, you will be able to roll only if no one else needs it.  No DKP, no attendance rules.  This way, if you fight and die for it, you have the rights to roll.

However, this changes in a world boss situation.  I don't see a way around it, unfortunately.  In these situations, I would like to incorporate a mixed system taking into consideration attendance, attitude, and class need.  Therefore, those with X% of attendance, within the proper class, and officer approval of attitude and effort will have the right to roll on the item.  However, it will not be officer discretion only as such systems create far more drama than is necessary.

Simply put, if a legion member attends raids and Legion events, and is present for a world boss kill, they will be allowed to roll on their class item, with officer approval (ie no warnings, hasn't been a jerk, displaying positive attitude, etc).

This will reward hard working legion members for their efforts across the board.

And again, all speculation.  This is assuming world bosses drop gear that is better than that of raid or instanced bosses, etc.

Anyway, still hashing it out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Starting off from another week on Rohan it came to me that the game, while fun, somewhat enjoyable, is slowing becoming a grindfest...again. I understand it is open beta, so hopefully these can be addressed. Some may be fixed already as I posted this, so that's fine but it was like this during my first week playing.

Ok issues, every game has them of course, here's what I came across so far:

1. Upon reaching the level of 20, you now have a wheel of chance to drop items from your inventory upon dying.
* So imagine getting a pretty nice armor with good stats, then dropping it along with another random item...say...your Teleport Town Stones!?
* Ok, so you died and you dropped your items...no problem...just run back from your nearest bindstone which I hope you've set the closest one to pick up your items right? Wrong, there appears to be a timer before becoming free to pick up from ANYONE or it just disappears forever.
* Yes, doing PK, you will drop items too.


2. Graphics, clippings, weird invisible walls..
* Every now and then, you'll into invisible walls while running in the middle of a...road?
* Notice some parts of a town that disappeared like say...a bridge or you'll find yourself sort-of floating in mid-air and you can't move any further. It's rare, but it's still there at the moment.
* How come you can't run down a hill in some places? It isn't wall-walking, it can be  shortcut instead looping it around just to get down.
*  Apparently you don't have to breathe underwater, so you can run through the "water" ...say a river and make it safely to the other side.


3. PK / PVP
* I don't mind PVP / PK, its not fair yes, but I hate pointless ganking especially when you're a group grinding and someone happens to start a fight, and feel  great about themselves because we weren't able to fight at the spur of the moment.
* In pk, ganking, "PVP" the damage I was told is only 30% from the normal damage you usually do, so either it has to be a zerg-fest on person at a time or expect long, long fights against 1v1.
* 1v1, don't bother, nothing against the those who want "fair" pvp, but it's stupid and takes too damn long, and you can just pot your health/mana just to drag it longer.


4. Experience loss
* It's fine losing some experience upon death, just spend another 10-20 min grinding it back those 1-2% which I think will be longer as you go on higher, you'll be pretty ticked from wasting all that time.
* Yes, in pk you die, you lose exp also and items to top it off.
* Why is it so punishing to give a exp hit, ok I know it's worst in other games, but come on why follow the trend here??


5. Resolutions, Gamma

* I was pretty happy that this game supported 1900 x 1200, so my UI and everything are less...cluttered, but as good things come, bad thing latch on, for instance consignment houses, say I want to purchase an item and tried to click on confirm, but can't because the box is more suited to lower resolutions and I ended up moving instead. The solution? Well downgrade back to lower setting to buy which I found out later on, but it is annoying switching back forth.
* While I enjoy the higher resolutions, graphics still feel a little bland, but oh well, it's fine, so why each time starting up Rohan it stays at 1024 x 800 setting at log-in and character selection, until in-game?
* What is up with the higher gamma? Whenever I alt + tab back to desktop, my screen gets very bright from the games gamma, even when I exit the game, it's still there, it may be me personally, but it's like this when I was Lineage 2 also.


Ok, I feel I am bashing on the game's negative points a lot and complaining, but that's I feel when I play at the moment. It's really annoying when these things happen, I'm a casual gamer, I'm not hardcore player who doesn't die to mobs or I'm just good at pk or pvping. I really like the game a lot, it has potential, but I don't get why MMOs like these tend to follow a specific trend and it's always there. Is it coding? Will the game break if these features are not put into game? o.O /End rant]]></description>
