Heeyy! I'm not really over here much. I come on sometimes, but generally, I'm not D:

Ah oops sorry about the gender thing. I was in a rush and didn't take a look at the user side >.<

It must just be my male bias. Thanks on winning the staff!

Wtf? They rebalanced everything again? ~_~ MP3s used to be 60-90, then it became 90-120. Wow Nexon, make up yer mind. Leveling through the earlier levels is annoying enough as is.

+OH. That's smart. xD I've never made many accounts so I never had that opportunity. sigh

Hahaha xD Omg tho, I'm really loving the tension and suspense in HxH. Gon has such a cute, carefree attitude. I have to admit I was surprised at how violent HxH can be - not that I mind, of course - but I guess I've been reading a lot of One Piece and barely anyone ever gets mutilated in One Piece. Meanwhile, people are getting offed left and right and in between in HxH. LOL.

I've definitely heard about Bleach's tendency to have a lot of random detail thrown in just for the sake of advancing the storyline, heh. I think both series must have had strong starts and also have really cool looking characters with stoic, dark personalities. I suppose most teenagers are drawn to that sort of characterization, haha. On the other hand, Luffy and the entire crew starts out goofy - but I think Oda's done a fantastic job when it comes to showing the crew's darker, grittier pasts as well. He started off slow, but that only gave him time to build and flesh out his characters.

+ Yikes, I haven't been on to see the new changes but I read through the update notes and apparently they've done away with Lion Heart Castle? That was a really important training area, geez...I suppose leveling is slower than it was now, huh. I guess it'll never be as slow as it was pre-big bang, but that still sucks. +_+ I hate grinding, it's such a pain. And I hate NLC's Aliens, it's always filled with ksers.

Yeah, when I was much younger I used to spend a lot on NX but I just can't justify spending that much anymore. Nexon and their shitty money making schemes Honestly I'd feel a lot better paying for NX if they'd bring back the option of buying perm clothes by paying twice the normal price, but I guess they lost too much money that way.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been spending a lot of time reading through HxH. xD It's really good, thanks so much for letting me know about it! I'm surprised I hadn't heard about it earlier. Now I know where the guy named after Hisoka here on clraik is coming from, lolol.

I know! For years most people outside of Japan shunned One Piece, and 4Kids' atrocious dub didn't help matters. Most of my friends didn't get into it till years after I'd told them about it - I've even had one particularly rabid new fan come to me apologizing for not listening to me years ago. lmao. orz
I liked the first arc of Naruto, at least. It starts off pretty cute and the story was very cohesive and entertaining. I just never ended up hooked enough to go back for more. I've still yet to read Bleach - my friend was a big Bleach fan but he told me he wasn't liking the arc he was reading at the time, so I didn't feel like starting. heh.

+ They're still in the unleashed shop? Grrrrrrr, I should go and afk in game just for those coins then. +_+ The tempest event was a nightmare, it is not fun at all when you're sitting in your shop and have to close it and restock it every 30 minutes just to get those coins. LOL.

I didn't like perm NX gaching because there's very little chance you'll get the item you're looking for if it's one of the rarer capes, and most of the time people sell NX at rates that make you more mesos per 1k. I never sold NX, I usually bought it from others because I didn't want to spend any real money xD /cheap

Of course, the only issue is finding a trustworthy buyer. Though technically Nexon doesn't allow it and it's supposed to be bannable. I never really saw anyone banned, though. hurrhurr

Ooh, I've heard about Japan's onsen, they sound really comfy. Japan has lovely landscapes indeed. And maybe you'll get to visit Tokyo next time, then! I hear it can get pretty expensive there xD;

I heard he was even upset that the tankobon compilers were going to try to take out a chapter to lower costs, and he fought them on it. His reasoning was that younger children have a tough enough time affording the books as is and since he grew up inspired by other mangaka it must have been important to him. And he definitely loves his characters ;w; You can see the heart he puts into his storytelling - he never cuts corners and he's planned out the ending from the start. Other manga tends to feel half-finished because after a certain point the author runs out of ideas, but not One Piece.

Also, I've just read the first few chapters of HxH! It really is adorable, I'm loving it so far ^u^ Going to read more tonight yayyy

Woah, I just looked up the main site and they've added so much new stuff just in the past few months. I didn't think they'd give us the level 250 cap raise for a year. oAo And I missed the Pink Bean chairs in the anniversary event. Blargh. I was looking forward to that but totally forgot. I try to concentrate on one character but I end up getting distracted since there are all these bonuses for having class character cards on the same server, heheh. I ended up spending most of my time merching just to buy perm NX from peoples' shops to decorate my mules. Vain, I know. \o\ But sure thing! If I end up thinking up a username I'm happy with I'll try making a new character on those servers. xD

Totally. Japan has amazing food, etiquette and an amazing pop culture. I wish I'd had the nerve to apply for school there ;w;
Really? Man,idk why it's so hard for me to find a compiled list of the cover arcs. I think I ended up having to download them. Oda is just brimming with innovation, I hope One Piece goes on for a nice long time. He says he's only halfway done, after all. I remember when I first read that OP's sales had surpassed Dragon Ball's - I felt so proud of Oda, LOL. He grew up loving Toriyama's work and he's come so far. It's inspiring.

If you say it's so good I'll definitely give it a try, then! xD And omg? A mangaka family, I see. Wonder what his kids'll grow up doing. LOL
