scandal in HK
We are reposting verbatim what you can read for yourself at http://www.hklineage.com. *hasted* Antharas?!


Until now (Hong Kong Time 5-Feb 0:00) we still do not receive the reply from the Hong Kong Gamania(server1@ncgamania.com.hk) about the follow-up to the case. Therefore according to the information published by the official and collected from some experience players, we make the following conclusion:
  1. Around 27-Feb 9:30pm, there were a lot of players made up a Anthras team and fought with Antharas.
  2. In the middle of fight, the Hong Kong Lineage Staff or GM changes the settings of the system. It makes succubuses and succubus queens suddenly appear on DV 7/F. If this is real, there is no differences between summoning them directly or changing the settings (indirectly), thought the GM may escape from the rule of GM and it sounds better to the players.
  3. The official said "Those succubuses and succubus queens will drop different items from the one in different floor", but they did not said "Those monsters will drop better items" directly. So very likely they will drop worthless items or even no items. If this is real, we are very angry with the Hong Kong official since they use those words to divert players' view.
  4. The Hong Kong official said Antharas will attack succubuses and succubus queens, it may make some players feel that they can pick up the valuable items from the succubuses and succubus queens by just standing aside. We should notice that 1)as stated as above, they very like drop worthless items or even no items. 2) when Antharas kill those monsters, the items will go into the Antharas body.
  5. After the incident, the Hong Kong official rollback the so-called "new system settings", so we think they are removing the evidence. Not only players cannot check whether succubuses and succubus queens are on DV 7/F, also they cannot check whether they have better drops.
  6. The Hong Kong official claims they have the new systems setting mainly due to the case of items duping. As we know the case was happened over half year ago and all the accounts involved directly or indirectly were banned. There is no affection to the current game play right now. Also the similar duping cases also happened in the other countries' servers, and they did not do anything special to change the game settings. If this is real, we thought the official is using the duping case to divert players' view.

They put suc and suc queen in on 7f so it would be much harder to finish antharas.

Honk Kong officials changed "server settings" in during server when several atempts were made to kill antharas.. and put sucubuss and sucubuss queen.. and said Antharas will kill em.. and they will drop diff. items.. not better necessarily.. making it harder.. and attempt to do soemthing happened years ago "item dupplicating" for which alot of accounts were banned....

Rediculas.. NC !

Good, maybe some of their sleuth efforts will filter into the US Dep server to examine why a certain select few mages were allowed to kill Antharas using tamed mops, and why immediately after Mel took the server down to have Antharas "fixed".

Okay that makes no sense at all, I think those HK players are reading what happened the wrong way. I mean what would the GMs gain from stopping people from killing Antharus? They don't play the game with characters, and if they ever wanted an item, GMs have the power to create one. So what exactly would they gain from doing this?

I think that GM just had a sweet tooth for making it hard on people plus can some one tell me how this item duping took place? O and i already think that in the US servers either Valkas has meteor strike or a GM decided it would be fun to kill a player by hitting them with it. Cause i heard a story from a freind who went to his lair then got hit by a meteor then 5 secs later in come Valkas. Of course this is kinda crazy cuase no kind of magic can fire outta screen so i think a GM COIed then blasted the Knight just for the fun o it.

Actually reading the very top bit of the news reminded me of something:

On Ken, during a Antharas hunt a lot of people suddenly started globaling that someone had hasted Antharas....
Can players still haste mops? Or is this a coi'd GM thing?

No way computerguy. Valakas has meteor strike... it is one of his attacks. And yes, he can hit you with it when he is slightly out of your range. If you're lucky (and strong) you'll survive the first one and get to see the savage red dragon. :)

Yeah, players can still haste mops. Thing about antharas is, the haste will only last around 2-3 minutes, and antharas fights last for hours... so, in the long run someone hasting antharas once is not going to matter...

Sucubuss and Sucubuss Queen will also attack users in Antharas layer.. making it harder for the users to kill Antharas.. Also the greed plays a role as users try to stand next to Sucubuus/Queen to get drops, which will go directly to Antharas "Not to users".
