R4 Status

It took me the longest time to get to R4 and yes, I finally reached it last month. Yes I know it's been a while since I updated ...

So here's my most recent photo:

Lots has happened

Evolution lost to another guild for the Relic of Arid Moonlight dungeon back in March. Then drama happened between some guildies and caused the entire guild to break up. I got several requests to join other guilds and I have decided to join up with Eternal Darkness.

Then the very next day upon my joining Eternal Darkness Bruin and I sieged against the Freedom alliance at Lost Mines. Freedom had so many alliances! We were fighting Freedom, Hippies, BlackBeret, and SalamandersFury. Yeah we were so outnumbered.

We were wiped in 10 minutes.

Here's a screenshot of our dead bodies at the respawn point:


If you look closely there's someone in silver holding an axe standing over all our dead bodies that's making sure that we can't ever stand up and fight again.

So it's been a month and lots of happened. I've actually had a chance to dp (dungeon party) inside PP (Palmir Plateau) already. It's kind of lonely in there and the drops are usually for R5. I need drops for R4 so I will continue to dp inside Crystal Valley until I no longer receive drops for R4 items.

I'm about to reach R4, if I can ever feel well enough to log on a for a few hours.

Defending our Dungeon in Rappelz

March 16, 2008 Sunday was our very first time defending our dungeon. We attacked Relic of Arid Moonlight 2 successfully last week against the Assassins guild and won the rights to tax it for the week.

Now it's Sunday again and we have to defend it against whoever wants to take it from us. It turns out the Assassins guild won the Timed Attack for the week and wants the dungeon back.

All of us met outside as usual around 12:30PM. When the server clock struck 1:00PM we made a run for the portal.

This time as the defending guild we automatically get teleported to the Dungeon Core:


So part of our team stayed behind to protect the Dungeon Core, while the others went to attack the Assassins Guild's Switch Rock. If our attacking team successfully attack the attacking guild's Switch Rock the entire siege is over and we, as the defending guild, WIN!

Of course before part of our team left to attack, HealerQueen buffed the Dungeon Core AND the Guardian:


I, being a cleric, had to stay behind and defend the Dungeon Core. So I don't have any screenshots of the action that took place at the Switch Rock. However I was hoping for a quiet siege. Boy was I wrong! After 25 minutes, just when all our uber buffs were about to wear off, a few assassins slipped by our defenses and started attacking our core!

There was so much action it was difficult to keep track of what was happening! I spent all my time healing the highest level player and the core itself AND running in circles to avoid getting PKed (player-killed). Our core was down to half life when suddenly I saw the message saying that the siege has ended because the Switch Rock had been destroyed!

It took me a minute to realize that our attacking team had successfully destroyed the Assassins Guild's Switch Rock! What great timing! Had our attacking team taken a minute longer to destroy the attacking guild's Switch Rock, the entire siege would have taken a whole new life.

But since our attacking team did their job the siege ended in 30 minutes.

When we all got teleported back into town I ran into an Assassin's Guild player that pked me during the siege and asked her how she stunned me from a distance. She said it was a special skill she had. I thanked her for a great match and would love to play against them again next week. Talk about another great way to end a fun siege!

And now that we won the siege again, we get to collect taxes from players for another week at Relic of Arid Moonlight 2.
