Fireworks
Lineage Playforum (http://community.playforum.net:8080/bbs/prog/column?action=read&iid=10051004&kid=1381) got screenshots of the NPC Stella on Korean Test server which now sells fireworks, as well as them in action.

Wow, its great to see what they do on the other severs to make their custumers happy and attrack new ones aswell. Why can't they understand that here in Northern America? You would believe they want money? They don't, they like to make us mad and leave their game one by one. I just hope they don't do something really stupid and have to make me leave the game.

Nina, this is typical behavior of Lord British and his service.
It's why after Ea bought Origin systems, they ran him off as fast as possible. They got good programmers, but bad thinkers in the big offices.

It would be COOL if this scared the shit out of lower IQ monsters. I could very well see an orc run scared as hell from something like this, or at least stop and stare for a second.

The problem is that NC in Korea is managed, at least in part, by people who have built the game and seen it grow, and love it and know how cool all this stuff (and the events) are. In the US, suits run the business, guys with MBA's and other nice title, and marketing droids who don't understand the product.

Give us something good, something new each week to add spice to the same hunting and sieging, and we will bring friends and people in (besides ourselves staying).

Also I dont understand how the US servers, with half or one third of the load on the Korean servers, and the superior internet infrastructure available, can keep lag free game. I know sometimes this is ISP issues with players, but it is getting so common we can rule that. Even NC admits the problems.

I am also sick of the almost complete lack of support in-game, and the lack of comments and information to the community forums.

I still love the game, and still keep developing my pathetic lvl 28 mage and spending tons of time (for me) on it, but I would love Lineage to live on and I think the US office is doing things the complete wrong way.

Just my 2c rants.

Cheers!!

IronBlade Dragon, I agree. Where is LB? Since he screwed up the siege and was black sheeped by us, you think we would roam around and pk the crap out of people like he did in the other game. Whatever it is he does, its note shown to us. I want to be, I would be on all the time trying to help out to my best abilities. Plus, I think it would be a good idead if 10-15 of us die hard players were GM's, we at least know how this game should be ran. We know what is good and what is bad. We would should an effort, not make excuses. I would run an event weekly. Look into increasing drop rates. I would do everything that they are not doing now. That would make the game a whole lot more fun.

Mostly everyone would like to be a GM :)

What was Lord British did on a Siege?

I came originally to Lineage because of him, being a die hard Ultima fan who has been through it all, read all the books, digged the philosophy and even met LB twice. In Lineage I guess he just found something which would help him somehow catapult his own project in Destination games, and he appeared in the game just to comply with a compromise with NC and the suits which I described above which considered him a good 'asset' with which to associate width. Garriot is a man who does his best when driven by passion, and he has no passion with Lineage. So live with it. He just sold his Richard Garriot (c) trademark to NC in change to who knows what. I read an anonymous post in slashdot that this was in part for funding, but also because the programming team under Garriot in Destination's would skip a loooong development cycle by having a flexible and very well tested networking source code as that found in Lineage.

Just my 2c rant as usual.

quickshadow the thing most lineage players are mad about is that NCi lied to everyone saying that the coming of Lord British would be great and there would be weekly events and we only got one event and he screwed it up royaly

The lack of additions that the other servers get, the false promotion of Lord British being a part of Linage, the lack of events as advertised, the lack of in game support = the reason im quitting as soon as Neverwinter Nights is released. Now that the winter release seems to be pushed back, NC will still get my money for a while.
