Read on for the full story...

Nukata: Thank you for letting me ask questions. First of all, could you introduce yourself?
Seiki: I remade the character three years ago from the wish that I wanted to become a lord of a castle and formed Spirits Pledge. Afterwards, while moving from one server to another with the members, we gradually increased the number of companions and acquired the knowledge of the war. After we came to the Altair server, We came to do the war activity in full scale. I have the keen interest in the strategy and the tactics as we attend wars. Moreover, I wish that i boast, and I exist high and fairly in the arena of war.
I am enjoying every day filled with the achievement feeling now at the time of surpassed the target, though I had a hard time very much by becoming Lv50 with a royal character.

Nukata: The main readers are players of the US server. Tell us about your blood pledge please.
Seiki: Spirits Pledge assumes the exchange with the companion is valued and wishes to enjoy every aspects of Lineage as its motto. I want to try daily huntings, pledge events and, in the future, challenge the dragons with the companion who can enjoy the roll play.
Up to now, I have attended wars as I believe it is one important element to enjoy Lineage. I acted aiming at original war power in the Altair server, and it is experienced to become a lord of a castle several times. As the srongest power, so-called Comets, has hostility against our pledge, we have had friendly relationships with other powers temporarily. However, we
take the policy of the keep away from any powers. Because, when temporizing and merging with them, we would not have occasions to have wars and be bored. However, we will keep making an effort still to become stronger in the future because the pledge is small and the war skill is also immature.

Nukata: Please list pledges and leaders of those pledges, with whom you fought together in this Aden Seige.
Seiki:
(original alliance with our pledge)
Wing of Light Pledge, Royal Mucha
The Chivalries Pledge, Royal Yuujyou

(CS/NF Alliance)
Crystal Stars Pledge, Royal DeadRock
TADAS Pledge, Royal HiddenDragon
Blue Planet Pledge, Royal Nefiru
(Altair Blessed Alliance)
Rondelay Music of Dawn Pledge, Royal AregasGulay
Original Sin Pledge, Royal Highness
Meeting to Keep Green Future, FounderM
(Other poers)
Pigeon Pledge, Royal Peka
Blue Dragon Pledge, Royal Gorua
Furthermore, numerous pledges supported us in this war.

Nukata: Do you often coorporate with other pledges with whom you fought together this time?
Seiki: The Wing of Light and The Chivalries of the alliance are companions who always fight jointly.
It is likely to cooperate at fun events or parties though there are not so many occasions to form the united front.
In the preparation stage of this attack castle war, besides the number of people of cooperators on the day the seige, the command of the group and individual's war skill were considered important. The unification of existing war powers accustomed was necessary by all means, and I proposed and persuaded to achieve these this time by a special project. Fortunately, each power understood and agreed with me, and a large-scale of this united front was able to be put.

Nukata: How long had this state continued that COMETS was occupying all castles?
Seiki: I think for about two months.

Nukata: How do you express being the leading part of such a large-scale Seige?
Seiki: As a prior adjustment and the preparation for the strategy and the tactics were rewarded, relief is my real feeling.
In order to lead a large-scale war to victory, commands by an able leader and cooperation of participants seem critically important.
This time, it was my pleasure that such leaders and participants understood my intention. Also I renewed my respect to those leaders' commanding ability.
Moreover, I think the leading part of this seige was all individuals to the last.
Server residents' dissatisfaction to all castle tax rate 50%, irritation to non-revitalization of wars, my lv50 achievement and large-scale consecutive holidays when people could spend more tiem on game came in succession by chance. (Nukata's note: At first Prince Seiki asked cooperation of other pledges as a celebration of hisLv50 achiement)
However, I feel fully satisfied by heart with the point that people's dissatisfaction and irritation were able to be removed and with the point that we unified our emotions to vicotry, although by using the pretext of my own accomplishment of a goal commemoration.
It was recognized again that Lineage consisted as each one of the player influencing each other.

Nukata: I your opinion, what aspect of Lineage should be improved?
Seiki: I want the developers to take the concrete measure of the security improvement of user account/password on the specification side of the program improvement etc.
Moreover, I want NC to plan a happy event. I like one that we can enjoy moods and atmopsphere more than events only of a lot of monster spawnings as a private individual. For example, the Christmas event. (Nukta's note: I have no idea what kind of event ws held in Japan at the Chirstmas time)

Nukata: Is there anything you wish to tell to the other players?
Seiki: I often feel that Lineage epitomizes a real society. Hereafter, I think that to apply the experience in Lineage to real life well is the meaning of roll-playing spending time and money, and I wish to enjoy Lineage frm now on too with many people.

Nukata: Thank you for answering my questions.
