Its been ages since I last posted, so here I go. "Ikuze-ttebayo!", as Uzumaki Naruto would say.

Its been a pretty hectic coupla weeks, what with me rushing my elementalist to Veteran, helping out in raids and other stuff for the faction, and doing Level 4 Missions.

With the advent of 92Elites, the game just got a whole lot tougher. Even squishies like eles and wizzies are getting a whole lot toughter to kill(for noobs like me). Dont even get me started on those "1337 gh3y fighters" who block their way out of everything with their shields or ridiculous DR. Battles in Cervantes are heating up, with the two alliances going head-on at each other during CWs. The WoG-Halcyon-Vradical alliance still stands, and the colonies have all been taken by us. The other alliance, GoH-BlackSociety-ForeverVN, is growing stronger daily, and are putting up a great fight.In the most recent CW, however, FVN laid low, and we were only under skirmish attacks by BS, GoH and the newly-reformed CARNAGE.

I managed to upgrade my armors slightly, but most opponents I face are aeons ahead of me, which spurns me to begin improving my own equips further.

On a sader note, many of my friends have left GE. First there was HolyCross. Then ChenLa, a friend since my Aoiyuki days went on an indefinite vacation. Even Yumeno and Hesperia, another two ex-Aoiyuki members have gone inactive. Even Lesantiric is thinking of leaving(he was trading Maple's Mesos for Vis -_-). Thankfully, I have WoG.

Also, I'd like to take this opporunity to say farewell to aLKayeL, founder of the WrathOfGod faction.(Check out www.wrathofgod.wordpress.com for alk's goodbye post)

Although I don't know him on a personal level, I have always had great respect for him. I joined WoG well after the painful struggles with Yakisoba, and at another critical time in the faction's time-the Illuminati-Fenrir threat. It was a privelege to have "fought" under him. Under his leadership I learned many things, via the faction's friendly community. I thank him for accepting this n00b, and helping me become stronger.

May his hair never whiten or fall ._.v

Another boring colony wars yesterday... So I'm not gonna post a report. But funny thing, this time round many factions declared war on us, but few actually came and attacked us. Wierd.

A Colony Wars Update by the Malzias Family

At last, a CW that is not boring. There was much more action,more lag, and more pwnage.

I missed the first few minutes of war, but after I joined it was evident that the sleeping dragon had awoken; Illuminati was back in the colony game. This war is probably THE most exciting CW I've attended so far.

At the end of the war, the server's largest factions all managed to gain colonies except Illuminati. WrathOfGod, GuardsOfHonour, Vradical and Halcyon are now the proud owners of numerous colonies.

It was obvious that the powers had shifted to the abovementioned factions. Illuminati's two colonies were quickly overcome and taken.

What I did in this war

Well, I started off with helping to take EL Canon de Diabolica from Illuminati's clutches. We stayed on under orders as another team went to retake our colonies from the previous war. After that, we went on the defensive, guarding our hard-earned trophies ferociously. I was stationed at El Canon de Diabolica, but not before I warped over to other colonies to help defend or ressurect fallen factionmates. I must say the fight at Via Fluvial was intense; many dead members of both WrathOfGod and Illuminati dotted the land. I managed to add to Illuminati's bodycount with my Irawan and my Fighter. I was slightly disappointed; after their hiatus I expected more of a challenge from Illuminati, the one of the three oldest factions still in the colonies race, along with WoG and Vradical. I expected them to be decked fully in elites, but I managed to kill several of them with a single ACR from a +5 Eternal Gaiter. So much for raiding.

Don't get me wrong, certain Illuminati members were as 1337 as they come; I hit Mew's Elementalist with Mortal Eternity and I barely managed to kill her. I also chased someone(I can't remember whose) fighter all over the place, hit him with Atomic Crazy Rush, Dragon Kick, Vortex Slash and Stunning Skewer and I didn't kill him.

El Canon was constantly under skirmish attacks from Illuminati, but we easily overwhelmed them with numbers. Near the end of the war was when the party really started; a whole army of Illuminati's finest charged forward, killing WoG members left, right and centre. Thankfully, members stationed at other colonies heard our call for help and warped there; it was over as soon as it began.

Congrats to WoG, GoH, Vrad and Halc, and +1 for WoG leader aLKayeL for his excellent leadership.(Not tyrannical. Forceful :P)

A Colony Wars Update before I continue...

Last week I wasn't around, but from what I see and hear, here are some of the updates so far.

-WoG now has 6 Colonies :D
-WoG has become a Royalist Faction
-Illuminati continues to be MIA in CW.

There was no change in the colony ownership. Hope for a more exciting one next week :/

Recently I've started attending raids, Vergo and Poison Yard. Vergo is pretty standard, and since there are usually several factions there attacking him, it ends really quick.

Poison Yard is more interesting, albeit more boring.

For those who are ignorant, allow me to enlighten you.

Poison Yard is not exactly a raid per se, but it is somewhat like it. Poison Yard opens daily at 8 and 1030 daily (+8 GMT) and so far, I've fought 2 kinds of Boss monsters in it, Gerero and Chimera.

In terms of strength, Gerero is probably the stronger of the two, being able to slay a whole group of characters in one go with Mjollnir.

However, Chimera is more difficult to defeat. Although his physical melee attack loses out to Gerero, Chimera has an insane regeneration rate and his spells do craploads of damage, not to mention the status effects that he can afflict with his elemental spells are hella irritating.

Going for these raids have made me realise that my equipments are not up to standard; I still do not have my Elite Platemail for my Fighter, although I already have a good shield. I hope the cost for 84 Elites will drop, because with 2.4 92 Elites have been released. Hope for the best, I guess.

I also need to practice PvP more often; Yumeno's been kicking my ass. Real hard.

I think i'm really addicted to GE (not necessarily bad :D)

I saw Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy recently and the first thing that came to mind is Torsche Mansion ._. The place even had a butler that looked like Lloyd and floating candlesticks.

:D

2.4 is out! Get your GPoints ready, people, time to spend spend spend!

As for me, I already got my Angie and Karjalainen :D

I think I'll put a step-by-step guide on how to get them now, since most peeps are having problems.

ANGIE
1. Talk to her at Reboldouex Queen's Gate to start the quest, she's not easy to miss; look to the side nearer to the Stone Pit.
2. She will ask you to hunt Skeleton Footmen at King's Garden for 30 Bones.
3. Bring it back to her and you will be instanced to the Stone Pit; defend her while she builds some cannons.
4. After that, another instance; break some stones, about 10 of them I think.
5. She will ask you for 175 Return Scrolls for all three towns(that's gonna eat about 10k GPoints)
6. Then she will ask you to go back to King's Garden to hunt Lazim Lams for their Wings, she needs 50.
7. Go back to her and she'll tell you that her scrolls got stolen, and she asks you to look for Jean.
8. Talk to Jean in Auch and you'll be instanced to watch him Lionheart the living daylights outta the theives (he rushes in and uses one Lionheart and all of them die. WTH.)
9. After the instance you're brought back to Queen's Gate and you get her card. Hurray!

KARJALAINEN
1. Speak to her with a character wearing a level84 and above Andre-made armor i.e. Gladiator, Clara Mago, Rosa Matrimonio. IT CANNOT BE ELITE.
2. Speak to her with Andre next and you will be instanced to defeat her. You can use all 3 characters in the fight, so no worries. If you have even one Veteran this fight should be easy; she's at level 57. She has ALOT of HP tho, she ate my fighter's Mortal Eternity, Croix Fente, Entrer en Lices and my Andre's Cent Ennui before going down.
3. She gives you her card involuntarily. Yay!

Congrats, you just got your new rNPCs! :D
