Cursed Queen of Angmar, The
45. Passages
Something creaked behind her.
Ariashal froze. Had Ferion found some secret way into her room? Knife at the ready, Ariashal whirled around. Her paring knife might not kill, but it would do well against her brother's smirking face.
But it was not Ferion who stood there.
Standing in front of an open doorway in the room's paneling was a tall figure, robed in black. "Herumor!" She flung the knife aside. "I thought--"
He held one hand up, to silence her. Obediently she stood still. A pale yellow light flashed around the room.
"Now," said the familiar voice, "we may speak."
"My lord!" Her heart seemed almost to explode as she flew to him. "I--I thought you were dead!"
"Nay, my lady quee--"
She did not let him speak. Before he had finished the words she had seized him in a fierce kiss. For several long seconds she clung to him, willing that they might join fully and never again be apart. Finally he broke free.
"And after you called for Herumor! I thought I was unwanted."
"No!" she cried, clutching him. "Oh, my lord, I thought I had lost you forever!"
"Nay, Ariashal. Even if it meant that I must claw my way from the very pits of the Void, I would not leave you here to face these fiends alone."
"You mean--" her heart skipped-- "you mean you really are dead? You were killed?"
He gave a soft laugh. "Nay, my queen. I am not yet ghost, but merely wraith!"
"What happened? They had taken your ring!"
"Aye, madame, that they did." He settled onto the stool. "The Elves that shot me dragged me ashore, hunting for the ring. They saved me from drowning, though that was not their intent.
"Herumor found me, and brought me back to the Keep. And I fear I must tell you that Herumor was beginning to despair of me when Adzuphel returned with my ring. For though I hate what it has done, I confess that I am bound to it, and cannot let it go."
"Then it was you whom Ferion saw when he put on your ring!"
"He put on my ring? Fool!" The King's contempt was all too clear. "Nay, twas not I he saw, nor Herumor. Your father, it may have been; or else other, less pleasant phantoms from his past."
"He said that he had seen you, and knew you were dead!"
"As I said, Ariashal, he did not see me. I was here, wavering between worlds. And, to say the sooth, he would not know my countenance, for no mortal has seen me in many a year."
"I--I confess I had not thought on that."
"No matter. But the weapons used by the Elves have given me much to ponder. The men found as many shards of the elves' arrows as they could, and when we are back in Carn Dum I will examine them properly to see how they were made. Whoever fashioned them must be found and stopped, else the lives of us all will be forfeit."
"My lord," she murmured, gathering his head to her breasts. "I despaired of ever seeing you or our children again! I was--I was going to--"
"Do not worry, madame," he soothed. "Your father brought me word of your grief, and what he feared you would do. And so I came a quickly as I could, to stop you before you did something foolish."
"My father? He told you?"
"Aye, madame, he has been watching over you all this time. He it was who brought word of your imprisonment, and who guarded you so zealously while I was ill."
"My father? He never seemed to care much for me before." She sniffed back a tear. "I thought all he cared for was land!"
"He has had time to think about his treatment of you," said the King. "And he has come to realize his shortcomings. At least he has been able to rectify some of them."
"I did not know."
"He did not want you to know. As I said, he only came to me when I was well enough to act, and able to prevent you from foolishly harming yourself."
"It would not have been foolish! I would rather be dead than without you."
"There is no longer any need to fear that." He kissed her. "We are together, and all will again be well."
A sudden vision of Ferion came to her. "No, my lord! I fear all is not well."
"Why?" Gently he held both her hands in one of his. "What is amiss?"
As swiftly as she could, she told him of Ferion's plans for her marriage, of his friendship with the Cardolani, of his threats to their children, and how he would use his destruction of the Elves to provoke a war between Imladris and Angmar. She finished with the details of her ruse, and what she feared tomorrow would bring.
"Ill news indeed," said the King quietly. "Your father and some of the others will be able to prevent the sending of letters for a few days, but eventually word will reach Imladris. And I know that master Elrond will not hesitate to act against me. No. You are correct. Ferion must be stopped, and soon."
"What will you do?"
"I had hoped for a few more days, to reach my full strength. But it seems that cannot be achieved."
She laid her head against his. "What can I do to help you?"
"You will have to do what you must to convince Ferion that you agree with him." He drew a long breath. "You must tell Ferion that you have changed your mind. You will be ready to marry the Prince of Cardolan tomorrow evening."
"What? Marry that puppet of his? Never!"
"Stay, my queen, and listen. You must tell him that you will marry the prince. That will give us some time. Then, tomorrow night, I will be able to act. I will have had enough time to do the great spells needed, and by then should have the strength to keep the effects in hand."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Something which Ferion will find unpleasant." He sighed. "Under different circumstances, I would request Herumor's aid in this. But he is tending the children, and I do not want him removed from that post."
"The children! How are they?"
"I had to take Imrahil into my confidence, to let him know that, though I was ill, I was still King. That gave him the strength, I think, to carry out his part. The others know nothing. Although," he chuckled, "I doubt that Zimraphel will long be kept from the truth. She has too many spies amongst the spirits and animals!"
She could not help laughing at the thought of Zimraphel merrily chatting with ghosts and wolves.
"I warned your father about telling her anything, and while I know he will obey my wishes, there are others who are not so circumspect. Herumor should be able to keep them away, provided he does not have to deal with too many other distractions."
"And where will you be? How will you stay safe?"
"So you wish to know my secrets. Very well, my queen. Let me show you my lair."
She followed him to the panel in the wall. "I did not know this was here!"
"Nor does Ferion, else he would have imprisoned you elsewhere. Nay, twas your father who showed Herumor these passages. Many are the secrets the dead learn, for tis difficult indeed to hide things from them. These passages were built and forgotten long ago."
They descended into the darkness, Ariashal leaning against the King for guidance. The stairway curved down, finally opening into a small, square room, lit only by a single candle. No windows pierced the walls, only a second door, shrouded in gloom. A simple bed and table were here, along with the King's traveling box. On the table was a basket filled with foodstuffs, some bowls, and a large urn.
"Your father told Herumor of this place," explained the King. "When they brought me back here, they decided it would be safer if I stayed hidden. And so this room was made ready for me."
"Who knows of this?"
"Save me, the dead and Herumor? None. Imrahil was brought here secretly. While he was much pleased at the idea of the Keep having such passages, he was not permitted to explore them. And in truth, I do not know where they all lead. This doorway descends to the tombs."
She eyed it, uneasy. There was something unnerving about the proximity of the tombs that she could not shake.
"Do not be alarmed." He guessed her thoughts. "They are out patrolling the Keep. If anything is amiss, your father will speak to me."
"It is just that I--"
"That you find it disturbing. Twas disturbing to me, my queen, to awaken surrounded by your father and the others. I admit I was not quite certain if I had joined them permanently, or was still of two worlds." He undid the clasp of his cloak and draped it over the end of the bed. "I must rest, madame, if I am to be strong enough for tomorrow."
She took his hand. "Then let me stay with you."
"Very well." He settled onto the bed. Before he could draw the blankets over himself, Ariashal took them. He caught her hand. "What are you doing?"
"Taking care of you," she said, firmly stuffing the blankets around him. "You will permit me to tend you."
He sighed, and she thought she detected a slight touch of amusement in his tone. She did not care. She had almost lost him, and she would do all in her meager power to protect him. Lifting his heavy cloak from the end of the bed, she draped it over her shoulders and settled in to watch over him while he slept.
His breathing gradually settled into a regular rhythm. Every now and then he moved, and when he was again still she would rearrange the blankets covering him.
Ariashal tried to sort though the events of the last hour. She had come close, dangerously close, to killing herself needlessly. Why did she have so little faith in him? Adzuphel had asked her that, at the Hillmen's fort, and she had never been able to find an answer. And here, tonight, she had once again shown her inability to believe in his strength. Granted, she had much more cause this time, but still, she had doubted.
And what if she had slain herself? What then? Would she have awaited him, in the Halls of Mandos, until the day he finally fell? And what would happen then? Would she even be allowed to wait for him? Or would she be cast out, forced to wander the world, forever following him as a broken spirit?
And then there was the matter of his own fate. Eru promised that he would never cast aside his children, but she was not so sure that he would extend that promise to one such as the King. He might be forever banished to the Void, to lie in blackness and despair with the likes of Morgoth and his minions. Or she herself would be sent there, for the disobedience of her suicide, while he was set free. And there they would remain, and be forever parted.
She must not think of it now; it was too much for her. She gathered his hand into hers, buried her face on it, and cried.
Someone was speaking.
Ariashal, startled, sat up. She must have fallen asleep; she was on the bed, wrapped up in his cloak. Over on the table the candle sputtered and flared, sending weird shadows across the wall, illuminating the inky bulk of the King as he sat by the table.
"No," he said, his voice barely audible. "She sleeps still. Twas well that you warned me, for if I had tarried she might well have done the unthinkable. All is well now."
There was a soft whisper, a garbled whoosh of murmured sounds.
"She is? Very well. Ariashal, you may join me."
Uneasy, she made her way to his side. A feathery breeze stroked her face.
"What--what was--"
"Your father," explained the King. "He has come to tell me of movements within the Keep."
Ariashal dug her fingers into his shoulder. She fought down the urge to flee, screaming, from the unseen phantom.
"Yes, tis indeed a shame that her worth was never clear to you when you were ruling, King Turabar." The King shifted in his chair. "But mayhaps, if she had been more valued by you, she would never have come to me. And the loss of her company is one I would regret deeply. For she is a wise Queen and a fine mother, and her counsel is of great benefit to me."
She clung as fiercely as she could. Knowing that her King needed her gave her the strength to stay, ghosts or no.
. "Your men hid the papers? Excellent. That will help us greatly. How many are ready to join tomorrow?"
"How many what?" Ariashal's voice barely rose above a whisper.
"Your father is not the only one who has beseeched me, my Queen. For while I have been convalescing, I have received many supplicants who view me as their last, best hope for justice. And so there will be many dwellers of the world of shadow who will stand at my side."
"I see," she murmured, clinging tightly to him for support.
"Go, Turabar King," he continued. "Ready the army for tomorrow. And remind all that their day of justice is at hand."
The candle flared again. Ariashal felt a slight, cold breeze slip past her face. There was a soft rippling in the air, a slight familiar scent, and then the room fell still.
Softly, she started to speak. "Are we--"
"Alone?" finished the King. He lit a second candle, filling the room with its steady glow. "Yes, my queen. We are alone."
Crying, Ariashal slumped against him. "I--I cannot get accustomed to this! I expect to see him or hear him or--or something. I cannot abide these whispers and yet know he is gone!"
He gathered her into his arms. "But he is not gone, Ariashal. No one is every truly gone. The land remembers, and we carry them with us wherever we may go."
"That is not what I mean! You can see him! You can hear him!"
"Aye, that I can. And there are times, Ariashal, when being able to see them is no blessing. For when they come to me they are desperate and lost. They cannot go on, they cannot find peace. They can only long for someone to help them and set them free. They are just as tormented by their inability to reach you, as you are by your inability to speak with them. Their lot is not an enviable one."
"Do you think--do you think that I will--I will be able to at least see him before he goes?"
"I do not know, my lady queen. He may not wish to be seen in his current state. But I promise you this. I will at least ask him for you. Will that suffice?"
She caught her breath. "I--I suppose so."
"Then I will try. And you must promise me never to try anything as foolish as you did this night."
"I would rather be--"
"Do not say that! Do you not understand who else might hear you? Not all the phantoms who are nearby are to be trusted."
"You do not understand! When I have passed, what becomes of you? When will I ever again see you?"
For a long moment he was silent. "I--I do not know."
"Then you must understand that I would rather stay at your side as ghost than be lost away from you!"
"No!" he pulled her close. "Oh, no, Ariashal, that--that you do not want. I will not have you waiting, a shadow I can see but cannot touch. No, that is far, far crueler than you know. You will go, as you should, and be safe. I will not have you do otherwise."
"But I love you so! I do not want to be parted!"
"Ariashal." His voice was strange, unsteady. "Do you not think that I, too, have strong feelings? If I did not care for you, I would have gladly let slip from my bond to the earth, and gone to my fate. But I could not bear to leave you, any more than you wish to leave me."
Something warm splashed onto her face.
"My lord," she whispered, "you--"
"Say nothing!" he hissed, crushing her against his chest. She heard him fight to keep his sobs under control, his body shook from the effort. She could feel him weakening; he rocked and swayed in exhaustion. Alarmed, she realized now how much she was taking from him. What if he was too hurt to continue? She would have to calm him, before he was too spent to contain Ferion and his men.
"My lord, you must hear me," she said, gently stroking his face. "This is too much for you. I should go, lest I overtax your strength."
"No," he said, hoarse, "no. You will not harm me."
"But there is much you must yet do."
"That will come in good time." He seemed to have regained some mastery over himself. "My lord, I do not understand how an army of ghosts and phantoms will help you," she began. "What can they do against Ferion and his men? He is not alone. He has many Dunedain and even some Lesser Men with him. And he did manage to find Elves, too. How can you fight them all?"
He chuckled softly. "My queen, there is much you must learn about the spirit world. You must believe me when I tell you that there is no one better to secrete things than an inspired ghost. I assure you, those papers will never be found!"
She could not laugh with him. "But I do not speak of papers! I speak of you! What if they succeed in harming you again? What if they have more of those arrows? I nearly lost you once. I cannot bear the thought of having you taken from me!"
"Nor can I abide the thought of losing you. From the hand of another--or by your own."
She caught her breath. Why was she doubting him? He was here, he was alive; she had seen him cast great spells. All that remained was for her to be a source of strength for him. She managed to kiss him through the tears. "My lord, forgive me. I will never try anything so stupid again."
"Nay, my queen. Twas not stupidity that drove you." He gently returned her kiss. "But now I must needs rest, for tomorrow will come soon enough, and I must have my strength."
"Very well." She followed him back to the bed. "If--if I lay still, may I stay with you? I do not wish to be alone."
"Neither do I." He pulled the blankets aside. "You may join me, my lady queen."

5. Make a pirate map and treasure box and go on indoor and outdoor treasure hunting adventures, following clues and searching for gold… (or chocolate coins perhaps!)
5 Fun Activities for the Holidays!
With half term coming up this week in the UK and lots of kiddies at home from nursery, preschool and school it can be hard to think of activities to keep them busy indoors in this cold weather!
Here are 5 fun ideas of things you can try with your little ones this week before turning on the tv!
1. Make some easy no-cook play dough and use it to create a beach scene, a box of pretend chocolates or a sweet shop with lollipops!
2. Make a cardboard roadway and race cars around on it!
3. Make some easy cloud dough/ moon sand using just 2 very simple ingredients! Use it to make sandcastles or mud pies indoors. Cleans up easier than real sand and feels just glorious when you run your fingers through it!
4. Turn a simple cardboard box into something exciting to play and interact with, such as this post box or this castle! Let the imagination flow and the play begin!
Have fun making some memories this week!

HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.
HEALTHAlthough it's not a topic any of us really want to think about, responsible dog parenting requires that we give some thought to what would happen to our dogs if one day we didn't come home.
FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy! Learn the basics of finding a vet and getting puppy vaccinated.

EKCO 5" Mesh Strainer
About the ManufacturerFor more than 100 years EKCO® kitchen gadgets have been helping in kitchens around the world. Manufactured with quality materials, these products are reliable, easy to use, easy to clean, and offer great features at reasonable prices. Over time, breadth and depth of assortment became increasingly more important to customers, as well as the desire for alternate brands at various price points. While the EKCO® brand will always represent the flagship line of kitchenware at a "good everyday value", the company has answered the consumer's call with many innovative products and additional brands to further support the proud history of EKCO® kitchenware.
In 1888, Edward Katzinger founded a commercial baking pan company in Chicago, IL. It eventually became known as the EKCO® Housewares Co., and by the mid 1960's it evolved as the country's largest non-electric Housewares manufacturer. While EKCO® Cookware is still offered in our vast product portfolio, EKCO® kitchen tools and gadgets grew at a tremendous rate over the years and historically EKCO® was the only notable kitchenware brand, almost single-handedly servicing the marketplace for many, many years. The EKCO® brand became the gold standard for quality, reliable utensils that were used for everyday day meal preparation in kitchens across America. Even with the variety of items to choose from today, EKCO® tools and gadgets still remain one of the most recognizable and trusted brands in the business!

this work looks unbelievable awesome, i hope devs will squeeze all the potential it has to offer.
but why those things still called "CRT Controllers" ? are they even have something to do with CRT monitors these days other then deprecated analogue outputs ? and they do support all kinds of outputs, right ?
Last edited by dfx.; 11-04-2011 at 02:21 PM.
too bad that with whole not-looking-back approach in OSS this kind of thing isn't updated.
even term "display controller" is wrong since CRTC is a subset of VDC which is more like a "video card before the age of video cards". thing for generating simple analogue video signal without any real processing power.
nowadays, GPU and output logic are completely separated, no ? and the display, like monitor or projector, has its own quite complex hardware for interpreting digital signal.
as i understand, there is no unanimity in naming those parts but i would suggest calling display video input logic as "display controller" and video card output logic as "output controller", especially since there are many different kinds of outputs these days even on a single card, like there can be several RAMDACs for driving S-video/Composite and analogue pins on DVI and TMDS module for generating digital signal in same DVI ports and HDMI.
Last edited by dfx.; 11-05-2011 at 04:08 AM. Reason: graphical smileys must be destroyed!
but output controller on video card not only capable of driving both analogue and digital signals but also doing so at different timing and in different formats of those at the same time. even its analogue part capable of giving signal to much more than just old-ass CRT. everything about it changed. it just different hardware, controlled by much different software and that software should be named accordingly.

Fantastic. Re-signed 3/4 of my players and didn't lose many opportunities with the MLE.
Sucks I had to overpay for Mobley but I couldn't let him walk.
Only one out of my 7 signed and I gave some good offers.

Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
When's the next FA sim? An hour from now?

Key Reserves: Dikembe Mutombo | Todd Day
I may go ahead and do another tomorrow night around the same time.
I'm kinda shell-shocked right now. Man.
Honestly, if no one ups their bids, players won't have a choice to sign... MWAHAHAHA
will these greedy players know that we only have 3 sims and if they dont sign on the 3rd sim they will just get the vet min?
Did Hardaway really take less money to go to the Knicks......,...,,.,.
9.5 for a backup point guard lol
I don't think I can take much more of this.........seriously. I can't make any real progress as of now.
HR Sim League
Maybe if we beg nicely, we could get the next sim bumped up to tonight Do it, SUNS. GROVEL! I'll join you
According to the index and ratings, Hardaway should easily be starting over Parker.
Alexander is supposed to be a loyal dude.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita - August 2005
Hurricane Katrina made landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana on 29 August 2005, with sustained wind speeds of approximately 200 km/h. Katrina submerged 80% of the city under water. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services quickly declared a public health emergency. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared an area roughly equivalent to the size of the United Kingdom as a disaster area.
The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization collaborated with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at the federal and state levels and with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), providing technical collaboration in a number of public health areas.
Almost four weeks later, Hurricane Rita dealt another devastating blow to the same area, causing flooding to reoccur in New Orleans and other low-lying areas of the state of Louisiana. This time, however, the state of Texas suffered the direct brunt of the storm. The fact that several million people chose to heed evacuation warnings may have contributed to the reduced death toll.
As the emergency response phase gradually transitions into recovery and rehabilitation and as emergency lifesaving activities slowly wind down, other areas of public health emerge as important concerns:
Safe Hospitals: an important opportunity is at hand to rebuild these critical facilities, incorporating disaster mitigation measures to reduce their vulnerability to the avoidable consequences of disasters. Read more.
Mental Health: Given the many pressing public health concerns in the aftermath of disasters, mental health care for disaster victims can be overlooked early on. Read more about mental health services and stress management.
International Aid: The arrival of aid from outside an affected area can pose a serious challenge, particularly if it has not been requested, is inappropriate for the situation or diverts personnel from other more pressing tasks. Read more about this issue.
Food Safety: another serious public health problem in the aftermath of disasters. Consult the guidelines produced by WHO and FAO on this topic and learn about links to other WHO publications that help reduce the threat to public health of inadequate food safety measures.
Health Effects of Disasters
Natural Disasters: Protecting the Public's Health PAHO's flagship publication on managing the health effects of disasters, it has been translated into several languages.
Management of Dead Bodies A PAHO/WHO manual that calls attention to this disaster management issue and encourages authorities to make it part of disaster plans and a key component of humanitarian assistance.
Humanitarian Supply Management and Logistics in the Health Sector These guidelines on basic aspects of the logistics of humanitarian supply management describe proper handling of supplies at each level of the logistics "chain." Some procedures are based on standards adopted by international organizations and others are the product of experience gained in the field.
Disaster Mitigation in Health Facilities--Wind Effects Focuses on reducing the vulnerability of structural elements in hospitals and health facilities and non-structural elements (windows, shelving, etc.) and those special functions such as communication networks.
Environmental Health in Emergencies and Disasters This volume distills what is known about environmental health during an emergency or disaster. It draws on results from the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, and on experience with sustainable development between the two Earth Summits, in Rio de Janeiro and Johannesburg. The volume is intended for practitioners, as well as for policy makers and researchers, and thus covers both general and technical aspects of environmental health.

Is there a risk of storm disease?
The US government has declared a public health emergency following Hurricane Katrina. But just how likely is it that diseases will take a hold?
Michael Leavitt, secretary of health and human services, said a public health emergency was in place from Louisiana to Florida. He warned there were grave concerns about cholera, typhoid and dehydrating diseases, while others said West Nile Virus could be a problem. But health experts are predicting the impact will be somewhat more limited. Read More (external link)

Tales of Pirates 2 Review
By, Erhan Altay
When Tales of Pirates was first released in 2007, it became one of IGG's most popular games. The sequel is not very different from the original, the most noticeable difference is a slight graphic update. The races, classes, and gameplay remain the same so TOP2 should be thought of more as a massive patch than a new stand-alone MMORPG. Players will be in for the same mix of land and sea based combat, pets, guild battles, and PvP encounters.
MMORPG Sequels
Sequels have always been common in the video game industry, and they are now making their way to the MMO genre. Lineage was followed by Lineage 2, and a Guild Wars, and Silkroad Online sequel are both in the works. Generally, sequels are entirely different games than their predecessor, but this hasn't been the case with most free to play MMORPGs. The Tales of Pirates 2 case is similar to that of Myth War Online, another IGG published game, and Aeria's Twelve Sky and Twelve Sky 2. Both were first released as stand alone games, but players of the original's service were allowed to migrate their characters to the new game. TOP2 went into closed beta testing on May 6, 2010 and will undoubtedly follow a similar path.
Veteran seaman are already discussing the transition process and what changes lie in store, but new players should expect a pretty standard MMORPG experience during the early stages. There are four characters to pick from, two male and two female. Each has access to some, but not all, of the four first jobs and six second jobs. A convenient class tree is available before getting too far into character creation, so players can chose the character that best fits their play style. Appearance customization is limited to eight face and hair styles per character. There are three starting areas to chose from including Argent City, Shaitan, and Icicle Castle. Each offers distinct scenery, but players will be free to explore all of them eventually. All new characters start as the vanilla 'newbie' class and must wait until level 10 before making their first class advancement.
After entering the game world, players will be struck by a rather poorly designed interface. The most glaring problem is the poor choice of font. It just doesn't fit well and makes things difficult to read. NPC dialogue is a hassle to comprehend and will likely be skipped. The visuals themselves are an improvement over the originals, character models look better and there's more camera control. Movement and combat are still controlled with the mouse, but the geography is all the same. The first few levels go by in a blur, especially if players make use of the tutorial quests given by the Newbie Helper NPC which beginners spawn next. Players are asked to talk to various NPCs scattered across town and will gain a full level each time. At around level 5, the first kill quest will send beginners outside town to get their first taste of combat. The monsters around cities are generally low level animals, but the further one travels into the wilderness the more powerful the enemies become. It's important to allocate the stat points received each level into the five attributes: Str, Con, Acc, Agi, and Spir. Newbies will only have access to a single skill that deals additional damage, but even without it monsters go down in a few hits.
Deep Blue
All characters start with a treasure box in their inventory which can be opened to reveal equipment, items, and another treasure box that can only be opened upon attaining a certain level. This is a great method of reducing 'down time' as players won't have to run around purchasing new gear every few levels. Upon reaching level 10, the class change quest is simple and the game's auto-navigate makes travel between NPCs and quest objectives simple. There's also an index available near the mini-map that provides a list of all the NPCs and Monsters in the game. Clicking any of these names also activates the auto-navigate, further simplifying travel. The next milestone is reached at level 15 when players will be free to purchase their first vessel and take to the seas. Lower level ships are small, often simple merchant ships but later players will have access to powerful warships like the Great White Shark. Combat at sea uses the same mechanics as on land. As players continue to progress they will have to opportunity to join or form guilds and align them with either the Navy or Pirate faction. These two warring factions are at the center of Tales of Pirate 2′s PvP. The ability to play on both land and sea is a feature found in several other free MMORPGs including Florensia and Water Margin Online.
Mix & Match
Crafting takes an interesting turn in Tales of Pirates 2. Besides creating new items, players can create fairies. These fairies serve as pets which accompany players and enhance their fighting capabilities. These fairies can gain levels, learn skills, and even be married to produce more powerful offspring. In total there are 10 crafting options, all accessible via the 'workshop' shortcut located at the top left of the screen. Some of these options include item forging, item polishing, fairy marriage, and a new feature in TOP2, Rear Fairy. Rear Fairies require a special item mall ingredient to create, but are more useful than their normal counterparts. Tales of Pirates 2 also has several dungeon areas which are PvP free-for-all zones. The level cap is set pretty high, so there's plenty of grinding to be had. The Chinese developer MOLI has shown its commitment to the game, so expect continued updates and new content for years to come. If you were a fan of the original but stopped playing, TOP2 is a large enough update to warrant giving the game a second look. Those who never liked the original won't find enough here to change their minds.
Final Verdict: Fair
Fans of the original Tales of Pirates will be pleased by this major overhaul, but even with the naval gameplay features TOP2 doesn't offer enough to earn a higher recommendation. The sailing and crafting systems are interesting, but could use a better presentation.
