Another network post?...
After a loooong time since I promised this, I am making the "official" post with the "official" re-re-re-re...opening of my old Mathias shrine.
It has been online since some time ago anyway, but now that I can't do too much, I came to talk about it... So, there you go:



Divine Heresy - a Mathias Cronqvist shrine

With a new design, that looks better (in my opinion) than the past i-framed layouts, re-arranged content, although it still needs some revisions, and material to be added, at least it is online again, open (officially) for visitors with 99% of the old content ^_^!

Yes, I do have some new thingies, but I am still looking for more (specially hunting for permissions x_x).
What I think is that this site lacks of translations and fan fiction content mostly.
We all know that Mathias is not as popular as Joachim (for example), this is why it's quite difficult to find good stuff about him these days that the game is old, but I'll keep trying.

Well, with nothing more to say for now, I'll go to work on the next target (Joachim), and the revamp of the Dracula/Mathias fanlisting x_x.
I can't say for sure when Joachim's site will be opened again, but I hope it will be soon.

Special thanks to nekokain, alice_montrose and dhuaine, for their special interest on this project all this time T.T!!!

As I mentioned somewhere before, here comes a real network post.
Hunter's Prelude is proud to present a new project, a Ragnarok Online private server:



Levantine RO
Servidor latino, dedicado, rates 15x 15x 10x, sin customs.
GMs respetuosos y responsables, Comunidad amigable.
Eventos continuos, 3 WoE semanales.
Moscovia Dungeon activo. Actualizaciones constantes.

Actualmente, el servidor se encuentra en "fase Beta", por lo que los rates originales (15,15), fueron aumentados a 150,150. Tan pronto como la etapa termine, volverán los rates normales.
Para más información del progreso, visitar el sitio y el foro de Levantine RO.

También, les invitamos a votar por el servidor una vez al día, o cada 12 horas, para ayudar a crecer a la comunidad, dando clic en los banners del sitio ^-^!

---
For now, the server is under a "Beta" stage, this is why, temporary, the rates are x10 of the original. But as soon as it ends, the original rates will come back.

Also, if you can, please help us to grow, voting for us clicking on the banners in the site once a day or every 12 hours ^-^!

...?
whatever...

The main point of this stupid title is that, as I mentioned in some older posts, the last effort of keeping alive my Castlevania shrines (Leon, Mathias, Joachim) and the general Lament/castlevania sites are being done.

I have been working offline on the site, and it's almost done, but as I mentioned in the previous "Lament of Innocence" update, I wanted/needed a new domain name for these projects, and with the hosting update, I finally managed to do it.

This post is just to let visitors know that I am working on the resurrection of those sites, and inform that everything will be now on a new domain name (under my complete control).

So, I give a warm welcome to my Network to


Hunters Prelude



This is going to house my castlevania projects (and fanlistings), as well serve as the home for those 3 shrines that I loved so much, and, believe it or not, some people did too o.O
I had no idea how "popular" were my shrines until I had to close them temporary when the "lamentofinnocence.net" domain died. I got some feedback asking what has happened, and I was like woah! *sob* ='D

The tag for the updates on this journal has changed already for "vk".
Content will be (re)added shortly, and my fanlistings related to Castlevania will be moved to there as well.
But I am still thinking if I should change my current Enthusiast for the newest version.

Anyway, thanks for the support regarding to these sites <3 and expect for the opening soon.
While I am still stalking some new material for Mathias, Leon and Joachim sites, if you know about something, or have stuff to share, drop me a line.

We all of us know already that my Castlevania site is more than dead.
This month I have been quite active and I've been revamping the site from my own server, and it doesn't look that bad now.

I'm exited about the idea of my Castlevania site's resurrection, but I don't want it to be just a simple branch of my main domain, I want it to be quite independant like it was before (for some months lol), and like my Hwoarang site.

I wanted to bring back the lamentofinnocence.net domain name, but I am not sure how the fuck it works.
I just know that it is "reserved" and being used by some crap, like an ads company or whatever and I can't get it back without a bid or something, specially since I wasn't the original owner.
And then I found that negotiating for a domain name is so fucking expensive, at least for me right now it is so damn expensive.

So, I'll wait some time to save more money and see if I can get back the domain name at least as a redirect or something, but in the meanwhile, I thought that would be better if I get a new one instead?

I was looking for some symbolic names, by the way, I found that castlevania.net is available but, lol, it is like a premium and expensive domain stuff.
But I don't want it, that's for sure, not that I don't like the name, but my CV site is focused in Lament of Innocence other than a general CV site.

I need a brain storm so I'll go to play LoI again, and then play some RO as my CV named characters, maybe I'll get some inspiration with it.

From the very decadent sparkles of genius in my brain I got that the new domain would be something like:

lamentofinnocence.info
I'm fond with the old .net one, but I explained already... And I don't like the .org at all, maybe .info, but it sounds... weird o.O
Probably I'd go for .org, but it sounds like if I was red cross or something...
crimson-stone.net
I want crimsonstone.net, but it is taken so, the only option is with the dash, and I certainly don't like dashes in the names since I get confused with URLs. But it's an option...
Or crimsonstone.org, but then again, I don't like the org extension.

Other names that came to my mind:
thelegendbegins, vampirekiller, alchemystone, vampire-killer, alchemy-stone.

If I think of another one, I'll be checking. From the last mentioned I prefer the first one mostly. I am also open to suggestions for domain names, or oppinions on these.

I'll be working on the site this week, and I hope I can get the new domain name for the end of april to re-open it (again...).

... Is dead.





Due to problems out of my control, I couldn't update the site, and today "Lament of Innocece" is officially "dead", ok, not dead, but it is torpor on a coffin-folder, waiting for its master (a.k.a. me) to resurrect it.

Yes, it is not like if I am going to let my project to die so easily, but, I need (again) some time to move everything back to my domain... *sigh* again...
Things like these come up when you get a domain as a gift. Yes, if you remember, the domain was a precious gift I got from my dear ariem_sparda.

By the way, this makes me wonder (again) what happened to her. Since the past months I totally lost contact with her, and her domain and most fanlistings are dead. I wonder if she's ok ._. I am worried. If someone has an idea on what happened to her, please, please, let me know ;_;

Ok... I just wanted to let people know about this.
I'll try to work on the site as soon as possible (like if I had so many visitors xD) to bring it back to life, but meanwhile I check what to do about the domain, the whole site will go back to my domain -_-

This project has been the most unlucky of all I started. It has been here and there, moving urls like mad and for this, the lack of updates that lead me to leave it to hiatus again and again.
Seriously, there have been moments when I want to drop the towel and say "I quit...", but I love that site so much as well as the characters (and the game) and I really want it to live, if not forever (because I'm not eternal), at least to have it online for a long time, for the very few fans of the game and its characters (like me).

I'll keep you informed about what's going on with the project.

PS: LOL@Raven picture I made XD
Dammit, well... I want to take this with fun mood. =_=

./// Lament of Innocence update


I had this one pending since last week and here it is. This time I bring:

[+] Some cool Joachim new icons made by Gem-sama ^^!
[+] Videos! Scenes from the game thanks to Serio and The Successor! (This on the three sections)

Plus, I fixed some links to audio files in all sections, added button rotation in the Mathias section XD (Wish you were here Matt!!! *-*<3)
Joined to CV webring (I have not been accepted yet, but I had to add the banner anyway hahaha!).

I still need to add more videos in the Leon section, but the problem of my "sick" Sephiroth persists.
Is not that I am lazy to fix my computer, but my dvd burner is fucked up! It can burd dvd-rw and normal discs, but it can't burn normal 8x dvd!!! WTF!
I decided to buy a new dvd writer, but ARGH! the people from the store still not give it to me! >(
Probably I'll go to search anywhere else, but I don't want to take the risk of buying a crap device for my computer. I decided to wait because I trust in these guys, but..........................

Ah, anyway...

./// Blood Talon update


I "updated" my Hwoarang site too, but the host still acting stupid and I still have no answer from support team, so, maybe you'll see it, maybe you'll not... Probably not...
I added just small info for Hwoarang. Some scan of the Arcadia magazine (Thanks to Daniel Phoenix who found a bigger one) where finally!!!! we can see how Hwoarang look in Tekken 6. OMG!!! <3 *nosebleed*

Errr... Anyway, yes, that... And joined the same button rotation as Mathias XD
No big update since, I said before I still can't work on my Sephiroth =(
'till I fix it, I'll make the new layout and add the new video matches, 'though, if you're really curious, you can see them in the TekkenChile forums anyway XD

PS: What I miss from my blog are the chocobo mood icons and my Gankutsuou header T____T

Read ya!
