Yay! New Xenian Skill, which means I can lvl up my current Xenian even easier lol. Maybe someday Solstice will uncover the ancient Xenian armor and weapons? So wait, how would current Xenians get the skill book for the new skill?

[Jackieliu]

now.. the pet is useful...

[kioji_Y]

can anyone tell me what pvp system phase 1 is ? thanks.

[ggBuRNe]

the most important thing is the boss monster.. YEAY FTW!!.. and i want new mobs and maps..

[CharliePace]

Sounds interesting. Can't wait for some of these features to be implemented.

[Sakura301]

Yeah, it will be cool when they are implemented, im wondering the coming soon is arranged in the expected chronological order? if so means the 3rd classes will be around the end of the year o.o

[Euphie]

Can't wait for the upcomings.~ x3

[Trashknight]

That would be something. People in their level 120-130 running around with second tier In November. XD

[Nixxy]

Great i hope PvP phase one includes some kind of anytime PvP - Like talk to an npc to get teleported to the arena or something.

[Kage_Ninja]

can anyone tell me what pvp system phase 1 is ? thanks.

1st phase of open pvp meaning the arena can be accessed anytime

but for im excited for the guild system:Dthe Solstice Brigade is coming!btw can i just get a hint on how do you create a guild,or even xenepic's way of creating a guild.i just hope you pay for it,i dont mind if it cost 500k,ill just sell my ywm,not to mention some of my guild members are willing to donate for the guild so i hope we only have to play for it.and PLEASE give us guild houses,thats what guilds have,a "headquarters" for their members

Permanent costume items?!?! I thought i'd never see the day Outspark would offer something permanent!! Now im excited! I just hope the permanent items don't look ridiculious...

Im curious about the Pet Fusion thing, it says "Combine your pets" does that mean we can re-do the pet quest and get more pets? That would be super awesome! GOTTA COLLECT EM ALL XD

As For PVP system...im gonna be superly pissed if they make the entire server PVP'ish, as in you're out lvling up at Eir or whatever and some punk 20 lvls higher then you comes and kills you for fun -_- i HATED and DESPISED that on other online games. I really really hope PVP will remain in the arena only.

*drools at 3rd and 4th Job Classes* I can't wait to see Assassin's BattlePose in the Job tree to motivate me XP And i've always been curious what Shadow Master's Helmet looks like...i've never been able to find a pic of a Shadow Master wearing his lvl 130 Helm. RAWR THIS IS SO EXCITING!

Edit: I still suggest Squires and Apprentices have sub classes too though ^^;;; an Alchemist type sub class for Apprentices and for Squires ummm....hmmm....a Gunner type class would be fun o.o;;; Abonden the sword and pick up a gun? Or would that be a bad idea since kids play this game? >>;; Ahhh hell i dunno i just wanna see more classses XD I might be tempted to start a Xenian due to their new skill coming soon, which means im gonna have to make a second account XD

isnt the pet thing were you give them xen stones,the pvp is probably arena only(seems like .hack were they created an arena to stop the over-growing pvp problem),im excited too about the 3rd and 4th classes but i got to be rogue first:D

is this the 130 helm or the first shadow master helm:http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/Pz_N-/Shadow1.jpg

I don't know about the Xen Stone thing...im not following Xenepic's quest im focusing on ours.

Whoa that certaily does look like a Shadow Master especially from his weapons, and the red thing on his back is probably the red wings we have...The helm looks somewhat how i expected it to be but it still strikes me as Odd...im digging those cool horns though :D

[Kage_Ninja]
