Well chris id like to answer some of your points. 1. you werent answered because 50% of the people are japanese. its been out for about a year now in Japan and they have a lot of followers. 2. If you know how to get money, its no problem at all affording equipment. If you get on Lakshmi at any time look me up and Ill show you the trick to getting 3k gil in 2 hours. 3. Stop using your D-pad (up and down, left and right arrows) And use the arrows on your number pad! they turn the correct ways! Hopefully this helped you a little bit, and if not then I at least feel I tried.

We look forward to your return Milady.

SO YOU ARE ALIVE TRISTON! ITS A MIRACLE!

I am glad to have a fine new addition to the Legion, and even prouder to have an elven warrioress amongst us once more. Safe journeys always, and fight with Honor!

If your on Lakshmi look me up Chris!

You assume right Prometheus. But i do think the level loss thing is fairer than if it wasnt there, because if it wasnt you could fight anything and not care if you died. I do agree that the moving monster thing can be a horrible thing and frustratiing at that, but hey, id give two more mistakes like that before this game is even slightly messed up. Ive found a trick to get lots of money and EXP though, so im happy.

First of all, the Graphics are superb. I think they are better than SWG. The party and hunting systems are without flaws. The only problem i find is the problem of gaining money fast enough to equip yourself fully at each couple of levels. The abilities and attack capabilities are awesome, gameplay is perfected, and the game is bugless. I dont see that much of an opportunity for RPing yet however, but when i do you can be sure ill tell you.

I am currently playing FFXI and i must say it kicks ass. This is not to say i am quitting ultima, but now i have two games in my life. My name on the servers is Elise and i play on Lakshmi world. if anyone has an interest in hunting with me, q me at 84763321

*Kodoz again writes to the Legion* Friends, Colleagues, and Guardians lend me your ears. This is our time to fight. This is our time to win. THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHOW WHAT A TRUE GUARDIAN IS MADE OF. All of you should attend the meeting this saturday, November 1st, at the PGoH Mall at 4:00 PM EST. I need your arms and your minds. As Ops commander I have been given full capacity of the Legion and its resources. But I will not ask you to trust me blindly, for that is not my way. Everyone can come up with good ideas, and I want to hear yours. Please meet with me and the other leaders. If you have no rune, there is a rune locked down at olympus in the meeting area. -Kodoz, Decurion

Akroma, I am extremely proud of you. You deserve this promotion, and I know you will fill the position to the height of your abilities, which is extremely high. Know that I will always believe in you and am always here for you, regardless of the consequences. I say this not only as Decurion, but also as your friend. You and Maven will always lead us to victory, and we will all rally behind you. But as Logan stated the path of the Imperator is not an easy one. For that matter, neither was Centurion. But you are undoubtedly a leader among leaders, and for that, the sunday after next I believe we shall have a promotion party for you, and next time you see me on pigeon me, I have something very special for you. *smiles* Safe journeys, Lead us well, Strength and Honor!

*Kodoz began writing his message to the legion.* This is the time, the moment of truth. In the past weeks bonds have been shattered, friendships torn apart, and old friends ripped away from us beyond our grasp. Though some have been returned to us, others have not. Though I can hardly let my thoughts of Steel go, I know what he would wish of us. He would want us to go on, and to forge new bonds, and strengthen old ones. I speak of a guardian who has saved my life many a time. A guardian who is a true leader amongst us, and whom through my failure to prioritize has been lost. You may forgive my mistake, but I will never forgive myself. I speak of the master of beasts, Cheblis. He was out on a quest and we know not what had happened until now. He has been coerced in some way to betray us and to destroy us. Already he has struck twice. Defeating him is not enough, defeating the one controlling him is needed. So I call upon each and every one of you, to come to his and my aid. Cheblis must be brought to his senses and returned to his normal self. In order for this to happen we must journey to Felucca to destroy his master utterly. His master could be anyone, but I believe I know who it is. To this end I call a meeting at the PGoH mall at 4:00 PM EST on Saturday, the first of November. To all who attend, this may become a council of war. I need every guardian available to answer my call and everyone needs to hear everyones opinions. Safe journeys, Strength and Honor!

Safe journeys and good hunting Hudson.

*While searching for a sign, a signal, an answer, anything in felucca trinsic, Kodoz was suddenly startled by a pigeon. He nearly took a swing at it in reflex but stopped himself just in time. The pigeon read as follows:* "Kodoz! I beg thee! come to Olympus Quickly! Something is terribly Wrong!" - Kal'Lason. *Kodoz crumpled the pigeons note in one hand and gritting his teeth called his beetle and said to the winds:* " I'm not giving up Steel. I can't, and I won't be able to rest until I know I've done my best to save you. But you'd want me to help the others first, and they matter as well. I will return. Sanctum Viatas!" *Kodoz arrives at Olympus battle ready with weapon drawn, and quickly dives off his beetle expecting an attack. Standing up and shaking the grass from him, he suddenly is struck mute. Upon the ground are the remains of Kal'lason, and next to them is Kal'lason himself, a bit winded and a bit confused.* "What happened?" Kodoz asked. "It...It was Cheblis...He asked for my help, and when I got here, he attacked me with his wyrm, and caught me unawares. But...the eyes... they weren't Cheblis' eyes!" Kal'lason replied. *Kodoz again clenched his fists. He knew that Cheblis had gone missing, or at least he knew in his head, but his heart had him so focused on Steel he thought nothing of it. Another guardians fate in his hands and he shirked his duty. Kodoz was on the verge of despair. Cheblis was a good friend, and he hated to think what must have been done to make him turn against the guardians...and Kodoz had let the perpetrator have enough time to do it while he was stumbling about trying to help one that seemed beyond his help. Kodoz knew that if he failed again, he would not be able to trust his own judgements. Wearily he shakes his head, and shucks off his helmet.* "Kal'Lason, did you notice anything else that was wrong with him? Besides the eyes?" Kodoz queried. "One other thing....his manner of behavior had changed, he seemed to have lost his compassion for his fellow man...." Kal'lason replied quietly. "Kal'Lason, I need you to rest for now, so you will be able to help explain to the others what has happened. Do not feel that you have failed in being knocked from battle by Cheblis, his beasts are quite impressive." Kodoz offered. "Ok, if you say so Sir" Kal'lason stated. *Kodoz started to leave and as he did he realized he had almost missed saying what he always did.* "Kal'lason?" "Yes?" "Dont call me sir." Kodoz grinned. *Kodoz recalled away to prepare an emergency meeting of all members ASAP.*

*Kodoz, with tears in his eyes, removed his helmet and stepped to the door of the mausoleum. He knew that if he saw Steels body laying there, it would be the end of his hope. Kodoz was unsure if he could take it. He took a deep breath, looked to the heavens for a sign, and walked in. He held his head down, wearing his death shroud and removed his sandals as he entered. He brought items that Steel had given him to inter with him. His first shield, his original sword. His first battle scarred set of armor. And of course, a whispering rose. As he finally raised his eyes to the place the body laid, he dropped everything and shouted. The body was gone! There was still hope! Kodoz wiped the tears from his eyes and ran as fast as he could outside to go to trinsic, forgetting his sandals and his items in his joyful rush. Steel had to be alive, else his body would be here! At least his heart told him that. His brain had a thousand other possibilities, but his heart would rather believe a lie than believe he was dead. As he leapt atop his mount he cast 'Sanctum Viatas' and was on his way to trinsic, Felucca....*

Let it be known that as of Sunday, October 27th, 2003, Maven Uth Mateur has taken his brothers spot as our new Senator of War. Lead us always to victory, and let it be known that we trust you with our lives.

I am grateful to hear that Hudson. Tell her hi for me!

Hudson, You and the child will be in my prayers.

*nods his approval* I am extremely glad to see one of our newer members stepping up and assuming a role of leadership. I urge you all to follow Kaatya's example. I am behind Kaatya 100% and will attend as well

*Kodoz heard from Oberon that there is still hope. Carrying a bag of gold, some valuables and his armor, he sets off to get information on this so called goddess of good, for he might still be able to save Steel and Logan.*

*Kodoz recieves Oberons pigeon, and hastily scribbles another note attached to it. The note reads 'If they will not trade, perhaps they will contest. Ask them for a competition. A battle competition. If we win, they return the Emperor and Rico, and they take us to the spider queen. If we lose, they get my body and soul and any items they desire that I or any others in PGoH are willing to offer. Also they get the cure to Marcas poison if Marcas will agree. I say we send four combatants, Marcas, Myself, and two others. Or at least ask if I can speak with the spider queen through a mediator to ask of her certain questions.' The pigeon hurriedly flies with all haste to Oberon.*

*As Kodoz thought about the events of the past few weeks he couldnt help but wonder. Could he have done anything, anything to change what happened? He knew he wasn't responsible for what happened in his head, but his heart wouldn't believe that. He knew what he had to do. Steel and Logan had laid their lives on the line for him on multiple occasions. It was time to return the favor. Kodoz went off in search of Oberon, to consult him. Kodoz had to see if the Drow would consider a trade, Decurion for Senator and Emperor. Kodoz believed that after the deal was done he would find a way to escape, but even if he couldn't, the Emperor and Steel wouldn't rest until they had freed him. He had run out of ideas, so it was time to try his last one. He attached a note to a pigeon asking to meet with Oberon. As he did so he began hiding his weapons on his person, taking great care to hide his Chivalry book and his poisoned dagger inside the lining of his cape.*

Thanks for stepping in Steel, you said it far better than i think anyone else could have.

I took no offense and meant no offense towards anyone if that clears something up.

My message was not meant to tell anyone or order anyone to do something, just a suggestion. Kaatya thank you for making it more clear for everyone what you meant here. I will remove my post from 'Warning' with editing. Thank you for being courteous and thoughtful enough to move these things like i should have so we dont interrupt the storyline. Again, Thanks!
