Speaking of which, I haaaaaate the assassin outfits from most games. How people move in stuff like that is beyond me.

EDIT: Like...how does this archer pull his arm back...

There's no bowstring on that bow anyways Espy...but yes I get your point.

@Suzerain, I thought I knew what a rondel was, as it was a paladin exclusive shield in Diablo 2. And it was a fairly small shield as the game went...about the same size at a buckler. But I guess it's not really a shield XP

XD There's no bowstring on most MMO bows.

Rondel...sounds familiar. Wasn't it like a punch dagger or something, too?

There are certain games that I respect for the decent armor, like...Vindictus. AKA Mabinogi Heroes. And if I'm designing a character, I try make the person fit his job/type.

Oh yea, Vindi did have decent armor. Anyways, Suzerain said a rondel was a small round metal disc that covered the joints in plate armor and the like.

Mabinogi itself is kinda funny. My main character has a cocktail dress, a robe over that, fights dual-wield, and has a mandolin strapped on her back. And the horse she rides is...fiery. Literally. So weird...

I never got to play Mabinogi itself. I love the character art on the webpage and all but...I wasn't ready to commit myself to playing something with aging characters.

You get to rebirth everytime your char reaches age 21. And the aging only gives you better stats as you get older.

Is the rebirth automatic? I remember reading you couldn't level up once you reached a certain age.

According to Wikipedia, there are two rondel (french word for small circle or something similar). The small piece that covers seam between the armour on the arm and chest (aka armpit) and the rondel dagger, which has a round flat pommel, and a similar guard at the bottom of the blade. If someone were to hit that pommel with their palm, I could see it being something of a punching dagger.

I can't really figured that archer out myself either. How does he hold the bow where it doesn't get tangled with other stuff? Especially since it appears there is a good deal more curly things after the string spots.

Can we be merpeople in that game? One of my favourite game things to do is swim around aimlessly. :D (weee, Zora Link!)

I sort of remember Perfect World having an aquatic race. But you can swim around no matter the race, and for my short time there I thought it was rather well done.

@Serra: ...Now who the hell told you THAT atrocious lie? You have to rebirth yourself, what you stop getting after you reach 21 is AP, not levels. AP are like...skill points. You get them via level up and aging.

@Quiet: No, it's not a completely free world; there are limits to where you can walk.

Er...do you guys want screenies? o.O;

I've seen adds for the game all over the place. Wasn't too interested in the but your class shots had merpeople in them. I wanna be a mer-person! (Is tired of having to make DnD adventures herself to play things she wants, and running the game tends to mean no PCs, so I get to play as an NPC for two sentences here and there. :().

Happy to give up land walking if I can just putter around underwater :), game talk of course ;).

Sorry, I should have mentioned, yes, a Rondel is a type of dagger, too. I can't remember if it's coincidental that they have the same name or not.

-=What you're allergic to cats?...=-

-=It's alright, I'm allergic to you...=-

Heh, thanks. I was actually hoping the event would bring some new sword items I could quest for, but no such luck. :p

Probably not with the "small circle" thing They both have small circles, or maybe the dagger names comes after the armour bit. *Shrugs*

I would like to see another bow. I only know of two, requiem and woodland archer, but I wouldn't mind something more substantial looking, or less flighty.
