A post to Dragon Server in PW

KONNICHIWA, DRAGON SERVER!!

I am nyan-nyan, the local gamer kitty (used to go by the name marikit or Scarlette but it was taken  :Pig-13Weeping: )

I just started PW yesterday. Quite fun. I found it enjoyable even just creating characters in the character create screen. I started playing as a Female Wu Xia named Caleo. Then, in the evening , my BF and I played our Wingkins. I like PWs graphics, simplicity and the features.

You see, I have played many MMORPGs. Starting from Evercrack…-ehem- Everquest 1 and 2, LOTR online, Earth and Beyond, World of Warcraft, Lineage II, Guildwars and Final Fantasy XI ( Which took my life for about 4 years - dude since its US release) — and since I came home from the US, I have been searching for a fairly decent, non-2D game that would satisfy my gamer desires. I’ve seen PW’s banners and posters but ignored it for a while, until the urge to play came so urgently that I researched games to play and found PW.

I watched a few youtube vids and was not disappointed. In fact, I was itching to try my hand at it. Lo and behold, it was satisfactory. Here are a few things  that I found about PW

AMAZING Customizability when it comes to character creation ( *BOW*)
It had the questing qualities of Everquest 1 and 2
Graphics that rivals both EQ and FFXI
A decent backstory
Intellectual Players that do not just KILL KILL KILL ( those n00bs can die now)
A nice balance of PVP and No PVP
A nice clan system, ( though I am still not in one– I NEED A HOME!!)
A decent battle system.
It’s a fun and not a stupid KILL-GAME
I can turn it off when I want to. (not like FFXI that literally ran my life for 3 or 4 years)
nice battle graphics

Some CONS:

I get confused about the skill learning a bit.
no auto LOOT (>.> tamad ako mag loot eh)
no AUTO RUN. (again, tamad ako)
No MISSION system. ( but I guess, the extensive questing makes up for it)

I havent really tried the party and the grinding systems in PW so I couldnt say anything about it. From what I have experienced, people are quite nice in DRAGON. Uh… I just wish that someone would actually talk and let me know whats next after 20.

So, after the lengthy opinions, here are some questions I would like to ask. ( Of course, I have somewhat perused the boards NICE guides btw)

1. What is next after Lv20?  Lv 40?
2. When can I join a Clan? What clans are there? How can I apply? Can I bring my BF with me?
3. I kinda want to build a melee Yao Jing. Is that advisable or will I be ostracized and laughed at for my stupidity?
4. Where do I get those awesome clothes?
5. I need friends. Can you be my friend?

43 Days

My last 43 days as a student and I believe that something is still going to happen. There are a lot of things going on in my head: Fears, anxiety, excitement, sadness, joy, regret, longing - you name it, I probably am feeling it. Graduation is one of those things that people both look forward to and dread. "Will I graduate? Will I succeed? Should I have stayed more in school? What did I learn?" My questioning seems endless but I think that my short stay in EAC has been fruitful. In fact, I could finally declare that "MY WORK HERE IS DONE"

I believe that I have made a name for myself. I left a legacy that I hope will make a mark in the history of SBAACAE. There are many other things I wish for, but to try to fulfill them would be a long shot. I have to face reality and at least be happy with the little successes that I have achieved in this college.

Though one more thing is going to happen in this college before I leave - A MAJOR CHANGE. I believe that this is for the best. I could only wish that in my leaving, there would be at least a little change. I only wish that people would see and appreciate at least a little of what I have done. I have sacrificed a lot, but if I see them change a little, I would be happy. I would be satisfied.

I am going to make the last 43 days in EAC count. These are my final days as a student. These days are important.
