GMSylvia: Hi everyone this is GMSylvia Head of Lineage Support

QMroo: and I'm Roo of LineageOne... I'd like to apologise for the late start
QMroo: this was due to some techincal problem preventing Kyzah and Impact from connecting - however the team will be happy to answer questions for them!
QMroo: if you've just joined us - please send your questions to QMelvo or QMszeto: /msg QMelvo

QMroo: benny - When's next episode comming?
Fracas: Our tentative dates were to get 'er on test in October and Live in November. We're still shooting for these dates.

QMroo: never50 - ok i got a question dony know if this is place to ask but here goes i died last week when server went down on event day was told all people that died would get their exp back and i didnt i wrote nc no response
GMSylvia: We have been receiving a lot of extra emails as of late so we may not have had a chance to get to yours but feel free to write in again. Please keep in mind we do answer all emails sent to us.

QMroo: Kirsche - is anything new being done about the influx of bots to the servers?
GMSylvia: We always update our tactics in finding and prosecuting bots however as always we appreciate reports sent to us by the players. Keep in mind that although we can not report on the outcome of these investigations we research every report sent to us.

QMroo: Kirsche - followup: I saw a dude in an illegal morph last night, is that bannable?
GMSylvia: We request that anytime a player sees something they percieve as a violation that they report it immediately. Typically, after the claim is investigated and we find solid proof of a player using an illegal morph then they are prosecuted.

QMroo: if you've just joined us - please send your questions to QMelvo or QMszeto: /msg QMelvo

QMroo: Anju - Is Ep4 pushed back so we can have the much wanted Halloween Event?
Fracas: No, Episode 4 is not being pushed back because of the Halloween Event. We've actually been planning the event for awhile. We're working hard to get them both done and out to you as soon (and as fun) as possible.

QMroo: never50 - has there been any more thought about server merge i think it would be great or do we have to wait until after ep4
Fracas: The server merge is something that we continue to think about but our focus now is on Episode 4. It will definitely not be done until after Ep. 4 is live.

QMroo: kane35 - will there be any new mops in lineage one?
Fracas: Episode 4 will bring new mops, lands, and items to the world of Lineage. There will be plenty of new faces to smash and regions to roam!

QMroo: LadyC - basically,after ep4 comes out,is that really the last episode to be added to Lin1 and how long do they expect this game &quotLin1" to run?
Fracas: Absolutely not! New Episodes are always being planned and we intend on going strong for quite awhile.
QMroo: woot! ^^

QMroo: cazey - I heard poly events were discontinued due to popularity issues, however it seems the community indeed wants it. Is this type of event being reconsidered?
Fracas: In response to player feedback we're working to inject more variety into the events we publish. We're not discontinuing polymorph events, we're just exploring all of our options. :)

QMroo: if you've just joined us - please send your questions to QMelvo or QMszeto: /msg QMelvo

QMroo: FireWave - There has been glips of information about an upcoming event for halloween, is there anything you can reveal at this time?
Fracas: It'll be in the era of halloween weekend and spooky.

QMroo: And finally - the last question of the evening:
QMroo: Anju - ok so What are all of your Favourite pets? mine are Ferrets.
Scout: Mistryl! Oh, wait, in game? Oh, then rabbits!
Mistryl: Scout!
Fracas: I prefer pets that do what I say, when I say, and how I say it. I also think dogs are cool.
GMSylvia: I like fish because they have no hair!
QMelvo: Lovebirds!!!
QMroo: Chinchillas!
Fracas: I thought that was a type of food?
QMroo: hey! >.<
Fracas: Maybe I'm thinking of a Churro.

QMroo: Ok! that about wraps it up for tonight - thank you all for coming along, and a special thank you to the NCsoft team for giving us their time. Don't forget you can always address your concerns on the official Lineage message boards!
