By Death means Begining New Life...

It is really very sad when someone passes away even though you do not really know the person. I play Darkthrone- a browser-based MMORPG that has been around for 3 or 4 years I think. Below is a letter made by Ashley Lay- a long time DT player, before her departure from this earth.

Hi Guys! Its me Ashley! Uhmm.. this part of my will is for my
Darkthrone family and friends.

Well I suppose that when you read this guys. I should be long gone.
Sorry if I left you guys.. And I hope I dont cause to much trouble. You
all have been great to me! Ive first experienced this when I was tought
and raised by my Brujah family! Well, it's you guys that raised my
account and all. Its a pretty old account you know it got 72 thousand
turns! I remember when I Joined brujah.. I know that shadowspectre was the
one who invited me, then I immedietly joined the forums! Yeah it was
fun! I get to meet friends, like Josh perhaps. you know TMU? He's my
teacher and will always be my friend! BUSH, yeah he thought me well too, he
made me spell Brujah correctly! Lord_tade, the awesomeness of your
teachings, the one that I believe to be the most gifted teacher and
spammer!!! Keep up the good work guys! That account is your makings!

I got to say a lot of names.. Liza, the ***y girl! Hehe, yup you are
***ier than me! Ron, you just keep on rocking! Delta, I havent got your
name yet.. hmmm, and I havent seen you picture, that's bad.. Josh, my
friend, thank you for raising me. The badger, hehe poke yourself into
it! Jabba, I didn't even win a sigle avatar of yours, maybe I **** at
that! More and more, like odity the ambasador, hells_of_ashes(is that
right?), Bloodraven, yes he's the one who voted for me in my first round in
the MOM,I feel great about that! babs_the_bunny, disruptor, Dj, oh yes
and last but not the least our Leader! Nighty, well in my profile their
is still that brother in arms thingy, remember when you thought me you
said that I should put that in my profile? It's still their! And also..
Thanks for voting me Member of the month!

So maybe it will be put to good use by my Brother.. Oh yeah his name
by the way is Alfonso Lay. He's such a sweet kid! He's the one im
telling you about, he graduated this summer. So Im giving him my account!
Well, sorta coz I haven't told you guys the truth. Its his account and I
am the one that got hooked in to this game. He went bored with it so he
gave it to me.. But now I'm giving it back to him. Its his account, his
email address and his password. So make him feel just as much respect
like you did to me. Make him feel at home!

You know I just been thinking a long time ago a music that struck my
ears(and my brothers too!) you know Marilyn Manson's- This is Halloween?
That's a great song for brujah!

Maybe my body will be deported to Taiwan. I don't know, its a family
tradition. Heck just dont visit me okay? Told my bro that he musn't tell
where I was put to rest. It will just be a bother if you come and
visit! I don't want you guys to waste your time, okay?

Well I gotta go, hope you all enjoy you life! Just like I did! It ****
really that this has to happen but that's life!^^ Well,I love you guys,
Goodbye!

To my Filipino Friends! Adios amigos!(thats not even Filipino),ah

tayo sa langit o sa baba!^^ Mahal ko kayo!! Thank you...

My Thanks and love,

Enumerations in C#

Enumerations are a great construct.They allow you to create a type limited to a set of constant values. Because of this, they are type-safe. Best suited to use them are numerical values like int, long and byte.

The .Net framework makes extensive use of enums-Days of the Week, for example. Using enums eliminates common errors like passing invalid arguments to a function.

For example, you may have a function that accepts the numerical equivalent of a day of the week. It may only accept an integer from 1 to 7. But nothing prevents the code from calling it with a value of 8,9 or 10, etc. Using enumerations, you can define a custom type DayofWeek:

enum DayofWeek
{
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
}
So, instead of:
public void foo(int DayOfWeek)
{
}
we have:
public void foo(DayofWeek day)
{
}
By default, each constant in the enumerations will be given an integer value starting from 0. So Monday will have a value of 0, and so on.

Now you won't have to worry about your function being called with invalid arguments.



Till then, see ya!
Peace!

My so-called Lineage II Life

I play Lineage II on a private server. I've never played on retail but I think I have a fair amount of knowledge about the game.

I have 2 characters, a spellsinger and a Bounty hunter. The spellsinger came first. When you play on a low rate server, you have to think about which class to use as your first character. It's important that this character requires minimal equipment but can level up fast so that you can save more adena to 'fund' your next character.

So I chose an elven mystic character which later on became a spellsinger. Elven mystics are fragile but they more than make up for it due to their casting speed and fair amount of damage inflicted.

Why choose a mystic (a damage dealer mystic, that is), you might ask? Simple. It's because you level up faster. You kill more mobs faster and it's low maintenance.

After leveling up my mystic to 52, I created my real money-maker. A dwarf. More specifically, a scavenger dwarf.

You see scavengers make a lot more adena because of their spoil skill. They can get extra number of drops than any other character would normally get from a mob.

Leveling up a dwarf is hard, time consuming and most of all--boring! But if you want to make enough adena in order buy upper grade equipment(top C grade to A grade), a scavenger-and a warsmith, if I may add, is important.

BTW, I play on Staris server of L2 Extreme

Cya!
Peace!
