    Finally some rewards worth the try.

    But I have few questions.
    1) - Nvn I got to read the whole post.. -
    2) What if my guide is over 2000 characters longer?
    3) Since it's not stated otherwise, I guess all.the following is tradable?

    depends on the text and the context. "how to buy in L2Store" - not really, but "you can use maphr's scroll in Kartia when you kill the boss to boost your exp" - is fine in my opinion.

    Can I just post a link to the topic of my stream summaries and discussion? Will it be considered as an entrance to content? :D

    Ima be honest here, the best guide someone could give to newcomers is how to spend money efficiently in order to aquire gear/exp. For example explain how the market works, when and what to buy, which events/promos should wait for, when and how to exp efficiently etc. Let's not kid ourselves though, if people want to play they will with or without guides, unfortunately more and more are constantly forced to quit, we need to focus on the real problems.

    I agree. Well it should be a mix. The kepropus' quest line and the market.
    Eg. leveling a tank with 1 client it's just sadistic.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new here and don't know how things work. I clicked on the link above which says:

    and it took me somewhere that said "there are no threads to display." Where are the entries posted? I need to know because I'd like to read them and because I'd like to enter the contest myself. Thanks!

    Yeah i'd like to see it myself but with 2k character limit I might have to write it in Chinese or with hieroglyphs to make sure it stays in bounds xD

    P.S. The language was not specified in the rules - unless I'm blind - might be a good idea to do it
