Too late for coming back

I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that I decided to leave my Lineage 2 SEA characters in indefinite hiatus because I couldn't afford to update to the Final Gracia patch due to intense system requirements and that it'll eat up a lot of hard drive disk space. I was hoping that I'll come back once I upgrade my PC or at least buy a new one with compatible specs for the game, and that I may enjoy the adventures in Ether again.
 
Until I checked out Alcarcalimo's blog and saw this.

It's stated there that i AM Interactive decided to shut down its operation on both L2 and Exteel due to termination of its contract with NCSoft. And since it already happened, I realized that it's already too late for coming back. *Sobs*
 
I will miss my Paladin, my Silver Ranger, my Soul Breaker, and all my other characters who became part of my journey in Ether. I still had my fanfics about my Paladin with his Doombringer lover, and I was hoping to rekindle my interest in L2 so that I could come up with new stories for my other avatars, but I guess the flame went dead already.

Good thing I still had some screenshots, though. Here are some of them:






My Paladin (back at the Heaven's Oracle days)





My Paladin and her Doombringer lover (main characters in my L2 stories)





 
My Soul Breaker (also from the HO days)






My Silver Ranger






My Artisan (I just wish she would be a Warsmith)






My Dark Elf Wizard (future Spellhowler)
 
Well, that's all I could have for my L2 memories. I will always remember those days.


Ciao! ^^

RMT retailers, now L2 load sellers?? + finding solace

A while ago, I read the topic in the L2 forums that OffGamers will be included in the list of load sellers for both Malaysian & Singaporean players. At first, I thought it would be a relief for them, since there was an announcement that the old load cards can still be used until Sept. 30. It was because the AMDG-Cubetech partnership is about to be expired. But then, I was shocked because during my chat with Alcarcalimo, he said that OffGamers was considered to be one of the Real-Money Traders (RMTs) ever existed. He even stated that they would sell adena just for a small fee (in dollars, that is). Due to these reasons, he was now pissed, and I was even vexed by these same reasons. Believe me, we're both proud because of the clarification that AMDG will not support RMT sellers, but now, we're crestfallen because the opposite has finally happened.

Aside from that issue plaguing the community right now, we both conversed about almost everything. I stated about the last post here (Look at the last post below.) and the reason behind it, that I had mood swings. He told me that he also had it once before when he was my age, and he was even attuned to atheism. My reason for mood swings was due to despondency of salvation, that I feared that I would not receive atonement due to my transgressions. Good thing he was helpful enough to guide me to cope up with it. It's really a long story, though.

I was even touched by one of the quotes that he stated to lift my spirit towards not losing hope. Here's the quote:

"You can be surrounded by darkness yet you see the light. Go towards it and don't let darkness swallow you whole."

It means that instead of being disconsolate towards problems, seize to moment to correct it. Never miss the chance, and look at the clouds & see the stars, for it would never come back to you.

Overall, I can bravely say that solace will be with me in every pain & bliss, and he, as a good comrade, is one of the reasons why I found it.

That's all for now... ^^
