Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup All :D

Sooo...A friend from school and I are what you might call virtuoso's on the piano :P

J/k ofc...

I don't like to brag (I really do though :D), but we're really good. And I mean REALLY good ;)

So, a couple weeks ago, the music teacher at our school asked us to put together a duet that would be suitable for everyone. After much discussion, we agreed that Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd was a song that almost EVERYONE loved. So, with only 2-3 weeks until the concert, we set out to work. We practiced every few days, working on the piece. ALL of the piece was learned by EAR :D. We've both got an amazing ear for music, so we work really well together. A few days before the concert, we were deciding the final arrangement of the piece, determining how long each part should be and such. And the other day, we just started jamming. We both love improv (improvisation), so we were just rocking out. Much to our dismay, it sounded...well...EPIC...So we decided that on the night of the concert, we would go up there as unprepared as can be and start doing improv on Freebird. During the solo, we played back and forth, alternating between lead/rhythm, while both of us kept the bass line going.

So, you're asking yourself, how did it turn out?

EPIC is all I can say...I know it's kind of a biased opinion, coming from myself, but everyone said it was epic :P

We went ahead with improv in the beginning, and the lead guitar/vocal lines/solo were done by ear. Mind you, this is NOT an exact arrangement...We made up a lot and didn't want to have it too long. We were told to keep it under 5 min :(...

Anyways, I'm the one you can see playing the piano there (I'm kinda facing you, the one who does improv during the first verse). I'm in Grade 10 and he's in Grade 11 of high school. He just recently completed Gr 10 of piano. I took lessons for approx 2.5 years, and stopped after completing Gr 8 of piano. We learn everything by ear now. ;) Oh, and I had to add...We're Canadian :D

What can you expect from the future?

Next year:
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas

Check it out, rate, comment, all that shiznit...Thanks for your time :D

LS UPDATED AGAIN!



v1.15 Release Notes:
Spawn rate of Evil Presence has been increased
Added a /quality command, that can be used to set your client quality. This is useful if you have a slower computer. Check the command reference for more info.
No Maze catacombs has been removed (as it was originally planned to ONLY be a stepping stone into maze catacombs)
Drop rates have been increased (the rate at which a monster may drop an item)
Updated checkboxes on client to look more intuitively like a checkbox
Leveling up in Arena will automatically advance the level of the resummon monster, so you don't have to go back to town (MCC still resets)
Hovering over groups now shows who is in the group
Rogues, Monks, and Ninjas can now detect trapdoors and allow your party to optionally use them or not. (Only requires that one of these characters is in the group, not necessarily the leader)
Added Objectives to the game (See Below for more details)
Added a Looking For Group (LFG) system. Each time someone creates a group that you could join, you will be notified, and be able to Join it directly by clicking the Join button next to the game in the bottom right section of the screen. The notifications will appear no matter where you are, as long as you are not already in another group. This allows both those creating games, and those that wish to join the ability to easily find others to group with.

Objectives are mini accomplishments you can achieve with your character. The criteria of each objective varies. Some simply require a certain level, others require completing a previous objective first. Completion of an objective will result in a reward to your character (which varies from objective to objective). As of this release, all objectives are obtainable only in the Catacombs. When an objective is enabled, you will be notified in the chat box window.

I am pretty sure I missed a lot of other small details, but will update this topic if I remember them.

You'll need client 1.15.0 to login (clear cache/refresh if it doesn't show up).

Have fun!
