This week's Topic of the Week focused on the Manor System. Visitors were asked to post their thoughts on our boards as to how well they feel the Manor System is working. On Tuesday, we got a run down of the Patch Notes for this week's downtime, and also some great new L2Vault site content:
Update: The Manor Guide - Here, too, Jay went to work, and this second Kingdom for Coin guide has also been updated
Wednesday brought an additional four new guides to the already extensive list of hundreds of quest guides, courtesy of Vampyress and friends. We also had some fan fiction! Eternal Sorrow by Quatre. This is part one of Quatre's tale that "reflects events that occured while I played L2, but is still heavily fictional."
On Thursday, our View of Aden was the Frozen Statue, and Canto publishes his latest article, posing the question "Is it time for NCSoft to reassess the game?" The last feature for the day brought us Chaille, our final Lady of Lineage.
That wraps the wee up, folks! Have a great weeeknd, and have a blast in L2!
If you have articles, screenshots, event info, or any L2-related content that you'd like to share with the Lineage 2 community, send it in! Movies, art, wallpapers, articles... you name it! You can send them to us using our convenient submissions page.
It's Thursday, and as mentioned before, our last Lady of Lineage to be featured on a regular basis. This doesn't mean that our Ladies of Lineage feature is gone! It just means that as we find ladies to feature (or they come forward kicking and screaming *grins*) we will feature them!! But Thursday mornings will now be met with beautiful screenshots and other features here at the vault! So if you know a lady who wouldn't mind being featured, have her send me an email at: seridove@vaultnetwork.com!!
Today we feature Chaille, better known on the site and forums as Seridove.
Do you play (or have you played) any other games? (online or otherwise) If so. .which ones. Hrm..well I pretty much exclusively play MMO games: Lineage 2, Lord of the Rings Online, World of Warcraft, SWG, Dark Age of Camelot, Everquest, Everquest 2, Vanguard, Asheron's Call 2, and Ultima Online. I've dabbled with Sims 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, and every game that John Lee has ever worked on (I stalk him).

Today, Canto ponders on the grind, subclassing, and wonders: Is it time for NCSoft to reassess the game? Read on and listen to what Canto's thoughts are and add your own comment by hitting the "comment" tag at the top of this feature!
So you've done it finally.
You hit 75 and got your subclass.
You've now realized that the time it took to sub in to that class you enjoy could have been spent..you know..actually leveling a character of that class! This is where I sit right now. I played my spellhowler alt to 52, and enjoyed it quite a bit, so I choose it as my subclass for my Bounty Hunter. But..the hours I spent pushing my Bounty Hunter to 75 just to get a level 40 'howler could have, and probably should have been spent leveling the alt spellhowler.
That Lineage 2 is a collection of top of the arts graphical highstands we already knew. It's beauty goes beyond the simple characters and the landscapes depicted. If you take the time to really look around, you'll stumble on some quite wonderful places like this Frozen statue. - Enjoy!
One of the most incredible aspects of Lineage 2 is the amazing world we get to play in. Have you screened one of those exceptional shots? Want to share your visions? I'm looking for your screenshots of the areas that you find especially beautiful. All you have to do is send them in to Seridove and we'll feature them on the front page of the Lineage 2 Vault.
The siege raged on into the ever-growing darkness of the night. The roars of the warriors, the screams of the dying, and the cries for mercy were all oblivious to the fallen hero as he gazed into her eyes, and all his fury, hatred, and sorrow faded away as he closed his eyes, collapsed to his knees, and with his last breath whispered “free”.

Patch Notes for Downtime!!![ Comment ] Print News | Category: News During the maintenance period today, between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM CST (5:00 PM GMT+1 to 7:00 PM GMT+1), the following content patch will be made:
Interlewd is live!
Satsify your salacious gaming needs with the latest patch to L2. Features include:
* full armor/clothing removal

* all new clan housing updates - mirrored ceilings, shag carpet and tapestries of various scenes from Caligula
* and any character with the name containing more than 4 consecutive consonants will immediately be deleted from the servers as they are either bots or morons
This post is not in any way a true and accurate patch note and is only written as a fictional humor piece..thank you!
Now all the information you need is right at your finger tips and in an easy to read format!
And it's a double header night for KFC! Keeping in topic with our Manor System theme..we want to revisit the Manor Guide. It's all here if you want to start your own little side business harvesting!
Clan Spotlight: Atergens[ Comment ] Print News | Category: File Updates It's Tuesday and that means we have another great feature for you. Today we bring you our latest in our Clan Spotlight series, written by L2 Vault Staffer, Dezdemonia!
From my eyes Atergens was the perfect break from the constant PVP that I became accustomed to in my previous clans. They reminded me of the very first clan I was apart of when I started retail on Gustin in 2004, they weren't the strongest, nor wanted to be and they were all fairly close like a family. At the time I was apart of this clan they had just left their old alliance and was in the process of establishing their own. There were some small wars but politically this clan was neutral. They still hold the same values to this day from the beginning of the clan's history and for this I respect them. They play to have fun, not to be the best.
Last week we wanted to know what you thought of the "nerf bat" on the various classes offered in Lineage 2. It was pretty across the board about what classes people thought has been hit the hardest. We'll be delving more into the specific classes and hot topics regarding them in the next few weeks.
This week, we want to know what you think about the manor system.
Does it work well? Is it a "dwarf killer"? Is it broken? We want to know your thoughts on the Manor system. Do you use it? Love it? Hate it? Tell us your thoughts by commenting by hitting the comment link above and participating in our poll!
We start our week with "What's Hot and What's Not?" which asks Which class has been hit the hardest by the nerf bat? Visit the poll and vote!
We had a neat peek at RG's Tabula Rassa room in an article at Kotaku earlier this week. I waaaananaa plaaaaay! :(
The screenshot this week is good for a chuckle. Take a look at Crazy Heads at Hot Springs to see one of the wacky spell effects that physically alter your character.
Seri wrapped up the week with some dates of events wehre you can run into the NCSoft gang and even Seri! And last, but not least, the last Lady of Lineage hails from Lionna and will be appearing next week to wrap up that feature.
That's about it. Have a great weekend!

L2 Vault's Lady of Lineage[ Comment ] Print News | Category: News - Official News Well guys..I know it's Thursday..but I've been soooo swamped I haven't had a chance to get everything together for our last (yes you read it) last Lady of Lineage feature.

Photos @ Kotaku: NCsoft's Tabula Rasa Room[ Comment ] Print News | Category: News Kotaku recently just put up a short article and photos about a cool area at NCsoft, which with the help of Dell they've converted into a playcenter for Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa. This room is decked out with a Tabula Rasa theme and will be used to"...show groups of visiting press, members of the community, and other dignitaries this coming massively multiplayer game."
