One day, in a forum, I read this thread title:

 

“Which one is more important in cosplay, passion or physical appearance.”

 

It’s gonna be a neverending debate.  Both are important.  But if you compare passionate cosplayer without “supporting” physical appearance, WITH a good physically looking cosplayer without passion, I believe the last one will get more digg or being downloaded when you upload them on the internet.

 

A member of the forum, is thinking that physical appearance is more important and he or she post this pic:

 

 

I don’t totally agree with him or her, because people with passion has the right to express their selves.

 

However, lately, I’ve seen some game events or exhibition are using some cosplayer to promote their games, but I have to say that they don’t have “supporting” physical appearance.  Some of my friends even give comments like, “How could they choose them as cosplayers?”.  Apparently, physical appearance DOES matter.  And if you combine it with passion and good photography technique, I am sure it will be attractive.

I have these conversation one day when I was having a lunch with one of my friend.

 

M :          I think Blizzard is going to postponed their WoW film, although at first they announced it to be released this year.  They will appoint a new director and scripwriter.

F :           Ah it is so Blizzard, postponing their project.  But their work is awesome, so I think it’s worth to wait.

M :          I agree. I heard they will make the timeline of the film set before the event of Warcraft.

F :           Wait, is it going to be the time when Orc tribe hasn’t been corrupted, or is it going to be the day they invade Azeroth?

M :          Well, I don’t know about that.

(And so on, we carry on talking about many characters story such as Thrall, Cairne Bloodhoof, Arthas, and how the great battle between many heroes, Sylvanas Windrunner,  and Arthas as the Lich King will become)

 

So, in the middle of our conversation, a stranger that ove

As far as I know, the first Lineage 2 that implemented as F2P is Lineage 2 in my country.  And an interesting part of this implementation is the additional features of “fatigue system”.  While my first experience with Korean Lineage 2: it didn’t have anything like this system.

 

For any of you who doesn’t familiar with fatigue system, I will try to explain it briefly.  Fatigue system is a system where you will receive certain benefit if your fatigue bar is higher.  Your character will have an fatigue bar, while in full bar condition in this Lineage 2 case,  will receive 300% experience.  The bar will slowly dropping whenever you enter hunting area, but will filling up when you are in town, safety zone, or offline.  In my country they called it Vitality system.

 

So some players are feeling that this system is kinda handicapping their playing time.  But I think that it is not that bad.

 

1. More efficient playing time.

A 24/7 bot (yeah I wanna say players, but who can play a game with no rest unless he or she ends up resting in peace?) will eventually made the character only receive 50% experience (with as
