Folks, here's the latest news - we got a real "clan" in game. Hmmmm...if you want to know what I mean then you have to read this. They're just not cool but they're really amazing! Get to know them and be inspired with a clear picture of a "happy family"!
Perhaps, they are Lineage II’s biggest “clan” – in the literal sense of the word.
Call them the Clan Romero. The surname represents the, well, lineage of current players that starts from – don’t be surprised - the grandfather down to the youngest grandson. Hailing from the Blackbird server, this real life family is just as active as anyone else, mingling with the rest of the virtual citizens of Ether most especially during siege times.
The irony here is that the 16-something members of their kin, active and inactive, are scattered across various in-game clans. “Kasi yung iba, puno na yung slots. Saka magkaka-ally naman kami (All slots were already filled. Besides, our clans are allies, anyway),” said BeCaUsEiGoTHiGh, 28 years old, the chosen spokesperson of the clan.
He’s currently a member of clan Inquisition together with his sister and his wife. His 10 or more cousins are dispersed evenly across clans Enomenos, Camarada, Brigada and UT. His mother and father – yes, even his old folks play – are member of The Fraternity and UT, respectively. His six-year old son plays as well, though he’s still not under any major groups in the game.
Like most mothers in real life, the revered woman of the house is also clan Romero’s clan caretaker and manager in-game. Rosetattoo, BeCaUsEiGoTHiGh’s mother, is the primary item crafter. The rest of the family only needs to give her the materials and she will take care of their gears. “Siya na ang bahala mag-bihis sa amin (She’s in charge of providing us with equipments),” he said. The members also share items and equipments like any family does in real life.
The clan members, as mentioned, are most active during castle sieges. They have their own computer shop, which they themselves fill up to the last computer. They may be scattered in-game, but they make sure they get together especially during siege times. The occasion, in its own way, becomes a kind of family bonding, according to BeCaUsEiGoTHiGh.
“Sa L2 kami nagtatagpo-tagpo (We get together inside the L2 game),” he said. What makes playing L2 a different bonding experience compared to others? “Ibang level kapag nasa L2 world ka, iba sa real life, iba sa L2 (The L2 world is very different compared to real life),” he explained.
A family that plays L2 together, stays together. Indeed, whoever said this passage would surely want to use the PC and siege the day with this modern-L2-playing-but-traditional-closely-knit clan.
