Cheers everyone!

Just thought I'd add some sort of greeting note here, as a habit from other forums. I just joined into this community, I'm from Finland, and I play with the nick Casual.

I'm a Tolkien-enthusiast, but my life spins around my musical instruments, especially my guitars. Star Wars is great, and I have some experience both from JKII and Academy online gaming.

Currently studying English at the university. Whoa, now that was an unimportant piece of information.. :)

I fight with the saber staff, and am looking for a master, so if some one (preferably from the same timezone) could devote his/her time to teaching me stuff (especially dueling), I'd be more than grateful. My e-mail is on my profile.

Keep up the good work, I am amazed that such a community exists!

Yeah...

I love Sonata Arctica, saw them at Wacken last year, and i'll see them at Bloodstock this year. You should check out their first album, Ecliptica. Amazing Guitar work. You know their vocalist has never had a singing lesson in his life? :)

Oh I know Nightwish alright, seen them twice live. Can't stand 'em :) If I'd have to choose between one of those hero-metal groups, I'd choose Sonata Arctica. Their rendition of Scorpion's Still Loving You is something exceptional :)

But Tarja Turunen is hot, I have to admit.

You HAVE to check out Nightwish. They're really something else... like, opera meets classical meets metal. :eek:

No I don't :) I'm not that much into heavier stuff except for bands like Sabbath, Zeppelin, if you get my drift. Heavy metal just isn't my thing. But I agree that HIM has done a helluva good job for the Finnish music scene in taking us abroad. But the same homage goes to Bomfunk MC's, The Rasmus, Wigwam, Hanoi Rocks, etc. :)

EDIT: Just a wee correction

I've tried restarting, reconnecting, reinstalling, everything. Nothing works :( Maybe a corrupt game, but the sp works and for example the jk3files.com server works, so that's where I'll be playing until someone comes up with a solution/patch to correct this problem :(

Unpure client?

Isn't that the kind of 'bug' where you need to restart before trying to connect again?

I thought it was something like that

BTW: what GMT are you in?:P
I'd love to meet you, as I do with all the new students:P
or, well, the ones that reply to my questions
(If you've answered, could you please write it down on my profile? otherwise I'll forget to check back:))

ANd have a nice stay at the academy :)

Beh, can't seem to join the academy servers, it complains of an unpure client blahblahblah. This game is fresh from the store and I have updated it with the official patch and all the needed stuff in this site. Can anyone help me? This is really putting me down.

Another guitarist! YAY!

Finland is a kick ass country, for four reasons.

A) Children of Bodom
B) Nightwish
C) Stratovarius
D) Sonata Arctica

Well, I can't exactly hook you up with a master, but sort of a Big brother / sister. Somone to teach you the basics (if you don't already know), answer questions, ya know, just sorta get your feet wet here. If you'd like that, just give me your GMT offset and I'll see what I can do.

And if you're not interested, that's fine too. I wouldn't kill you or anything should the opprotunity arise:).

Welcome aboard, and enjoy!
