The start of my PW adventure...

I was finally able to try out PW a while ago. After the downloading the patch (which lasted for about 12 hours, and it took overnight to finish since I started it last night), installing it and updating the patch, I started logging in to Tiger server and created a character (more on that later.). It really took me a while to customize my avatar because of the good-to-the-last-detail customization feature, but at least the output's not that bad. After adjusting her features and adding a name (In fact, I was frustrated because of my name suggestions being used up already by others), I logged out first, logged back in and started my adventure in the world of Pangu.

One thing I first noticed when I was sent to the starter town is the help pop-out window. Since I'm just a newbie there, I had no choice to read it, since it also served to orient me on how to get used to the game. After completing my first two quests, I was awestruck by the time I reached Sword City. It was because of the design of the buildings and landscapes, as well as the background music(kudos to Toni Gonzaga for the song used as the PW theme song... ^^), and believe me, there were lots of people hanging around there as well.

Well, just like my previous favorite game, Cabal Online, PW was loaded with lots of quest for players to accomplish. In fact, they really help in leveling up, learning new skills and even in attaining important items, because of experience, yuan, soul & item reawards. Later on, I'll focus on leaping and learning craft skills.

By the way, if you want to look for me in Tiger server, my avatar's name is Elegeia, a Human Wuxia. Elegeia is one of the Greek words used as the origin for the word elegy, which means a mournful song or poem (one of my naming suggestions.). In fact, I was really happy that I chose that name for her. Here's the picture of my character:

From perfect world

That's what I've experienced from the game so far. See you guys there! ^^

At least all hope's not lost...

I've just had another chat with Alcarcalimo a while ago via Windows Messenger, and he said to me that he was able to play Lineage 2 again because he just downloaded and installed the Nvidia driver for his graphics card. The graphic bug was the reason why he ceased to play the game (Look at my very first post with the link of his story to know why.). It was really a bittersweet relief for me to know that he finally got the remedy for that problem. Why bittersweet? Well, here are the reasons:

- He just tried playing in Blackbird server, which is somewhat a shame for me since we're both in Aria
before the loophole occured, and he's still not in the mood to go back there because of the tension
experienced while he was on the way to become a Bladedancer.

- His Soulshot Dependency Syndrome was not yet fully recovered.

- I have just spent P50 to buy the LU! card to buy credits so that I would start packing up on item
mall purchases by the time I'll start playing Perfect World.

Right now, I'm still thinking of names that I'll use for my characters in PW. I've thought of using words that depicted sorrow, pain and other deep emotions as names, and he suggested me to a link that would help in choosing names for my avatar. The reason behind this is that names must not be too long (not more than 10 letters). If you want to see the website, look here:

Because of these reasons, I'll be looking forward to the day in which my online gaming spirit will ignite once again. But in the meantime, I'm currently installing PW in my PC, and I might go back to continue playing L2 to experience more about the Gracia patch.

That's all for now, doodlez... ^^

Going to try out PW

Since I have no other option to keep my online gaming spirit from dwindling, I decided to try out PW, suggested by fellow XFire chatmate Alcarcalimo. I just bought the installer CD yesterday in Megamall, and so I installed it. But there are errors while I'm installing it because of decompression problems in some files. I tried it again for a few times, including a while ago after I installed the Frost City manual patch. But still, the results were the same.

Since I have no choice but to delete the files (again). I'm currently in exasperation at this moment. I'm planning to be a Wuxia in Tiger server since he's there as well. I have no choice but to download the whole manual patch the hard way, but I'll do it some other time.

By the way, if you want to read about his travels in PW, look here:

That's all for now... ^^
