I'm sure many of you know how I hate sites that simply copy and paste everything...But!! I am a big Dave Chappelle fan so I had
to post this one. :P It may be old news to some, but I still think it's interesting for those who haven't read it. Thanks go out to
GS for this find.
After indefinitely abandoning work on his hit Chappelle's Show, comedian Dave Chappelle absconded to South Africa to escape the fallout.
Since returning to the US, he has made several unannounced appearances at Los Angeles comedy clubs, and this week played two
little-publicized shows at the Punchline in San Francisco.
At his San Francisco gigs, Chappelle revealed he has also been getting away to a place farther off than Johannesburg--Azeroth, no less.
Attendees to Chappelle's Tuesday night show said the comedian voiced his love of a certain popular MMORPG from Blizzard Entertainment.
"You know what I've been playing a lot of?" the comedian reportedly asked the crowd. "World of Warcraft!" When a few cheers broke out,
he reportedly responded, "I knew I had some geek brothers and sisters up in here!" Chappelle also was said to have expressed his
amusement seeing WoW characters with names referring to his most famous sketches, including a rogue with a name inspired by the famous
"I'm Rick James, B****" sketch.

I made a few more changes to the site today. I added a few pics from my current Warcraft experience to the photo album(follow the "screenshots"
link in the navigation menu to the left). I also added a sitemap at the bottom of the page. It seems like some people are having problems
navigating the site. This should help quite a bit. I also added a link to the new...

Lineagecenter is now working on the translation for the Korean patch notes. Here is a little taste
of what was said..
"3rd job change for those who don't undergo a subclass change. Nobless class for those who did.
Nobless participate in the Grand Olympiad to be sole (read it: ONE per class, so 31 per server)
hero of their class on the server. There are benefits to each (3rd job change, nobless, hero).
Hero items. 64-bit servers added. Two new regions: Godad region and Rune [Ruun?] region. 8 new
fields. 2 new dungeons. Double the amount of quests. Raiding a bit easier. New pet summons (Queen
the Cat, etc.) No marriage system but wedding dress available. Fishing system added. Fire dragon
Valakas added. S-grade items added. Clan accessories available. A bunch of monster designs were
shown. "
If I only knew how to read Korean...
FOR THE HORDE!! No, wait... :)

This is what NCSoft has to say:
"We have been very pleased with the support and technology Epic has provided in the past," said Harry Kim , Chief Strategic
Officer of NCsoft .
"We are especially excited to be working with Unreal Engine 3. The new tools, technology and content pipeline will allow us to achieve stunning, next-generation,
results in the least amount of time possible."
"NCsoft was the first company to use Unreal Engine in a massively-multiplayer online role-playing game and they did a fantastic job making us extremely proud." said Mark Rein,
vice president of Epic Games. "We're thrilled to see them licensing the latest Unreal Engine 3 technology and we can't wait to see the results."
Lineage 2 uses the Unreal engine....
I think it is a safe bet that Lineage 3 WILL use the Unreal 3 engine. Maybe I should stop grinding in Lineage 2 and wait for Lineage 3? lol
If you have no idea what the Unreal 3 engine is, or what it can do, visit the official site here.

I have added a new photo album system to the site. I love to post pics of kills etc., and I am sure many
of you like to look at them. It's great to be able to look back at some of the milestones you have accomplished,
and check out some of the new things from the Korean servers. Expect photos of a-grade armor, large scale pvp/pking,
high grade enchantments, and comedy at its finest...lol.
You can head straight to the photo album by clicking here.

Please forgive the lack of updates regarding the C3 guide. The reason for our silence is quite simple,
we really don't have any new information for you. However, in an attempt to bring you some peace,
here is what is going on. Prima works closely with NCsoft to gather all of the detailed information
that the community has been calling for (namely drop stats). However, the amount of drops in C3 is
staggering and extrapolating them in a usable form is quite an undertaking. We are working very hard
to find a way to gather this info and once we do, the guide will be ready shortly thereafter. I
should know if our recent efforts have been successful by the end of the week. I'll update you then.
The good news is that once a program has been written that formats this data and outputs it in a
useable way, future updates will be much easier and quicker to create.
