Well, I joined a clan...

I wanted to make vet on my own, but it had gotten kinda boring post-vet. So what the heck...

It's led by the other frequent poster on the SOTNW Gamefaqs board, Delacourte (or KittyKat2003 on Gamefaqs).

So far, it's okay, I guess. They are nice, but there aren't very many members. Just basically 5 active ones. And by active I mean play a couple hours a day, then AFK for the rest of the time.

Plus, they know each other and I don't. So it's a little awkward at times. Still, no one is a jerk, no one bots, they all seem to be adults, or mature enough

Heh...

On this thread on the official message boards

http://forum.swordofthenewworld.com/index.php?showtopic=22870

They mention a "review" at a site called "MMOFury"

But basically it was a fluff piece. All the "reviews" on the site are incredibly positive. The lowest one I could find 89/100. Most of the others got 94-96s.

And in the review of Sword there is an affiliate link to the Sword website (which basically means the "review" site gets money by everyone they direct there).

Anyway, that's okay, but I made a post pointing this out. And it got deleted! Mwhahaha. Touchy, I guess.

Woohoo, finally hit Vet!

At least with my Fighter, Richter

Not quite as thrilling as I had hoped, but still pretty cool

The weekend's boss event...

Was pretty much a flop. At least for me. 2 hours and got zippo.

Still, probably talked more there than in the sum total of my time playing in the game previously, so not a complete loss.

Have pictures though:

Getting close to Vet...

Richter is now 97th level. I don't know where to level though. Toppolo is boring as heck, Depermida Valley is a bit too tough, as is Skull Dungeon for Mina and Alorra (Adelina and Scout, respectively)

State of my family....

Richter is now 95th, Mina 93 and Alorra 93. I spent the last week leveling up Rylla (Romina) to 76, mostly in Rion Dungeon.

I spent way too much money on a Catherine of Intelligence card. Created her, but haven't played with her yet. Will probably use her to do the low level Viki quest stuff.
