Lineage 2 Mourns A Loss

jkoster — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:57:41 -0800

In recent weeks, much of the Lineage 2 community has been following the
trials and tribulations of one of their own: a story that came to a
tragic end.

Keta, a clan leader on the Aria server, known to a great many players across the community, passed away on November 16th, 2009.

We at Lineage 2 Stratics would like to offer a memorial to one of our own.

Goodbye, Keta. Thank you for the memories.

If you have a memory to share, please contribue on our forums.
