Misfortune of Cortes

A few weeks ago, we approached Farrel about Lucifer Castle, and it seemed that there were others seeking entry into the castle as well. We decided to cooperate, and recovered Magical Paraffin and Gluttony Bone Dust for him. Farrel hired Veronif to break the seal, which used magic to distort time and space. Some forest monsters attacked, and we defended Veronif, while Farrel turned tail and

Pirate's Chest Skin

2011-12-30T23:53:00.003+08:00

This skin was last updated to v2.02. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be optimized for v8.5 clients, as there are 2 missing images - button to maximize a skill, and character data background for weapon costumes - resulting in blue blank squares. I have made quick modifications on 2 files - button.bmp and gauge.bmp - to add in the missing images and changed the EXP bars. Links to the patch are

Sword 171: Christmas v8.5

2011-12-25T17:39:00.005+08:00

This week saw a lot of changes in the New World. There were 3 main additions - v8.5 Update, Christmas Event, and EXP Event. Personally, we would prefer the 3 additions not to come together at the same time. It would be better to spread them apart, so you can just do one thing at a time (e.g. leveling) without bothering with the other two. In any case, v8.5 Update opened up a series of new

Minotaur

2011-12-06T13:37:00.001+08:00

The Minotaur (Ancient Greek Μῑνώταυρος, Minotauros) was a half-man, half-bull creature in Greek mythology, frequently (but not always) depicted with the head of a bull on the body of a man. Its name is derived from its heritage as the "Bull of Minos". In the legends, King Minos of Crete failed to sacrifice the promised white bull to Poseidon, and his wife Phasiphaë was cursed to fall in love

In Greek mythology, the Naiads (Ναϊάδες from the Greek νάειν, "to flow," and νᾶμα, "running water") were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks.

In Maoster's Red Squad Clarification forum topic, I pointed out the irony and some inconsistencies in his accusations. He said that I wasn't there in Castilla Temple "yesterday", as if that alone absolves him of those duplicities. I have contacts, I don't need to be there to know things. And I was there when Othrys clan repeatedly did the very same thing that he mentioned in the opening post.
