Christmas Event - leaked
Wired News printed an article on our (Lineage's) Christmas event before NC expected them to release it, so we get a surprise preview. Shhh.. don't tell NC we know. (They know, but Leilo wants us to pretend).

Two things:

1. that is not a player, its a monitor or a tester going around. Where is the character? The 600/600 figure, besides being unrealistic (I would say, impossible), is too rounded to be believable...
2. On the wired article (which seems no one read) they say Oren is the main city on the game :)

Looks cool. Betcha Santa will give you stuff back for giving him the gifts some family of mops have stolen. You get gift as drop and Santa gives you back what you have written him for.... hmmmm a COI for me at las!!! ^^

I dont mean to be the grinch but who wants to put Jimmy the Greek Odds on this even sucking major reindeer ass? Im sick of the random events in which the the first 1/4 is spent with the laziest people in the game asking the SAME stupid questions that can invariable be answered by coming either here or lineages website...the second 1/4 is spent a varied few getting semi good drops and camping the good spots because they neither have job, school, or life...this being the case the third 1/4 is spent with people bitching about not getting things, not seeing anything, mop stealing, the really really retarded people are just now figuring out that there is an event and asking the questions the majority of the first 1/4 of the people already did, and the last 1/4 is of course everyone pissed off at the event for whatever reason with the exception of course of the level 50+ people that got the good drops even though they are the least likely to need them...

Agreed Kay
I sense that it will be similar to the Sneaky Fox event. Instead of every1 enjoying it, the strongest players 50+ who don't need the items will be lucky enough to stumlbe upon the reindeer.

I bet christmas event will be like the mini event GM had for the ending wipe of LOA. GM spawned alot of deer there and other boss's in oren. What sucks abouit doin that is the mages fireball tornado all them so they end up geting most the drops when they spawn in large groups.Ohh well i guess we will just find out. But atleast its something better than no event at all.

I figured as much, instead of letting everyone get better with all around increased drops, they make one special animal that is incredibly hard to find, and easy to kill so lvl 50+ with bapho morph can run around at super speeds ending everything.

Good job NC

best event is no drop event..

- -;
ppl get jealous other ppl get good drop
ppl complain other ppl steal their mop
ppl complain they themselves do not get much at all
ppl starts saying bad things about event
ppl starts flame everything about event and nc
ppl hate event
nc alter event to try make ppl happy again
repeat all of above til nc get tired of changing and just stop doing anything and let the server crash on its own

zzzzzzzz...an event with a few fun morphs (little $$ or free) and some event items (that's not uber but fun to have like christmas socks or presents or cards that u can send to friends and each other) would be nice enough already

baphomet is an ancient myth creature
man
every game copies off each other
when it comes to monsters or weapon/armour....only way of being unique is creating their own name to the stuff...otherwise...they grab an old book with names of creatures and weapons/armour and redesign them to fit in the game....
ppl think it started with one game then someone mentions an older game and etc etc

drop events bring the evil within
for x-mas
they shouldn't have one...wouldn't make everyone happy...lol

looks like Santa is sick or the grinch hidden in a santa costume....@_@

Oh Yeah, BigPope wrote an article about Forgotten Island for a Magazine called Massive Online Gaming. In one of the Screenshots with his article, it shows that same GM. I think it's a Female Knight.

I don't understand how the sneaky fox event was unfair....
considering 2 randomly located foxes spawned and they were so easy to kill that it takes only one e-bolt to wipe them out
if they r going to do something similiar with reindeer
it won't be about lvl 50 beleths and baphos running around
it will be about having the luck of finding one and killing it
but yea
I agree
when it comes to a drop event....those lvl 50+ knights get it all
oh hell, make that all knights get the advantage....

it would be so cool if u can get a santa costume and u morph into grandpa!
that would kick ass!
looks like grandpa is the shape of santa
