Decompress...lin.gz error for mac and win7

This post is for the people who are having trouble downloading the latest patch. You may have gotten the error: decompress something lin.gz.

For mac users go to this link: http://boards.lineage.com/showthread.php?t=12993

For Windows users do the following:

Go to your windows task manager and click the services tab.

You will find a service file called "npkcmsvc". Right-click and select stop to stop the service. Click apply. If it says access denied, then you have to log in as Administrator.

To log in as Administrator:

1) Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt
2) Type: net user administrator /active:yes

Log off. You now have Admin and your regular account. Log into your Admin account and follow the previous step to disable "npkcmsvc" and then log off again and log into your regular account.

Spartoi Doll~!

Hello everyone!

Lineage is having one of the best Halloween events ever right now. We get to run around in costumes and hunt for souls. You collect souls to trade in for some awesome prizes like this one:



A really cute Spartoi Doll! The bonus effect it gives is +3 damage absorption, which is very good, imo. You can combine the effect with items, spells, and food that give damage absorption to reduce your pot usage during hunts.

The various costumes (Black Cat, Death, Vampire, and Witch) are very nice and allows for faster swinging, casting, running, etc. You can also trade in souls for experience candies (150%, 200%, and 250%) but who cares about those.^^ That is all for now!

Good luck and have fun~

ZOMG! A post that worked?

I am still a noob to posting, but hopefully the screenshots work correctly this time.
The Halloween event has been a lot of fun so far, and still another week left! As always I haven't been able to play as much as I would like over event times, but I'm still enjoying the time I do get to play.

Lets kick it off with some Ancient Giant drops!

This one I found solo when running to ToI (Pre-Event). Some random DK showed up right as it ended. Tough luck for that kid I guess, although the drops weren't anything awesome. The next Ancient Giant I got dropped pretty well though... I didn't have an Ancient Giant Ring yet, so it is nice not to have to pay for it. I was in a party with Lady so we could chat and watch each other's drops...I think she was jealous!
The event weapons, armor, and cat poly have made hunting really fast and a lot of fun. I have been going to Lastavard in small groups to get experience and drops. Even in a group of two the big bosses still drop fast.
Kallisto and I have been doing a lot of 4f runs in Lasta. Unfortunately Hellvine didnt drop us Soul of Flame on our way down there as I thought he would. Maybe next time...
I also saved up enough Crystal of Dark Elf Souls to complete Eris's mini quest. Apparently I didn't know how the quest worked though. I was under the impression that I collect the souls and she gives me Amulet of Eris(+1Str, +1Dex). The truth is she gives you a bag of Eris, which only has a chance to give you the amulet. Needless to say, the bag dropped me 8,000 adena...
I am also slowly, but surely adding to my collection of ToI Teleport Charms. I got this one a day or two into the event.


It was a pretty decent Mummy Lord, especially since I got it solo. Even with the event gears he hurts a lot. It would have been nice to have been immuned. Instead, you will notice that I ran out of Rabbit Livers, and even with those I was low HP by the time it ended.

The Tikal+Antharas Episode goes to test server today. I am pretty excited about it, and can't wait for it to be live. I encourage everyone to check it out on test. Or at least go to the main lineage website and read about all of the new updates. I think some of the new items look really awesome, and I am loving the experience boosts and new places to hunt. Time to save money so I can blow it all during new episode!

Big gulps huh? Well, see you later.
Spacing is still dumb. Deal with it...

Super Cat in Ice Cave

Since this week is the event week
I got the uber event gear and "Super CAT polymorph!!!"
Here are some runs in Ice Cave.
Well,after testing several places,
ice cave is still my favorite grinding spot.
Guess what?I can get 1~1.2% with one 250exp candy!
(2~2.4% exp from 49~65)
Here are some shortscreens of ice cave with Neighbor and Qinyu:






















Finally,I can solo Ice Queen with the event gear ^___^
I have to say it's a waste to solo this boss,
I need to use about 5~10 livers and got crap in return...


















And the last one and most valuable one is...


















Good day!

Time Management

Damn. I thought I could get away from Lineage for good but the upcoming Halloween event destroyed my will power. Anyways, I guess I'll be playing again. I'm creating a time table as I post this to better manage my time in Lineage and real life stuff.

Damn. Does anybody ever quit Lineage? I should blow all my stuff or give them away - that would really make me quit. HAHA.
