I don't think you know what Russian players can do in L2, or their ability to donate. I don't think Core stands a chance if merged with l2RU. Russians will dominate.
localhost made skills OE for half clan.. +30/+15 (even skills like kiss of eva and that one against bleed was +30).. after that half clan was banned for like 2 weeks, and skills OE was set to +0 and SP also for 0, and they was "monitored" how they earning SP.. so one guy had to buy new EE.. and for porting to tezza.. idk about that, but many times i was in party, we was in cc, one char was left near npc. and when tezza spawned we was ported inside from anywhere from map. usually from hellbound. unless he ported inside when another channel was in..
On the bright side, not many people is buying l2store OP stuff, as far im seeing in-game so maaaaaaaaybe this server will end up being practically l2store free, which is awesome
Its far from enough. To cover the costs every account should pay around 40-50e a month to cover costs. So no if l2store sales are low merge will be sooner than with the last cash-grab
Premium account service has limited demand because most players will need 1 or 2 accounts. L2store and microtransactions are an infinite supply of virtual goods with no cost at all to create. So NC and Innova have probably made some market projections based on their history to calculate how much revenue could they have on different types of payment models and figured out that there is more demand for l2store and higher profits from it than Premium account / p2p payment models and as a result we have this. Also the timing of the server opening could have been better, having a little patience and waiting for NA classic to go full brooch mode/p2w to grab some of the disappointed customers and lure them into this thing/server/trap and disappoint them once more.
You can't attract people with current pricing. Also what people saying is true, most players don't even know that Innova is an official publisher.
Innova EU, RU has different servers with Russian client https://ru.4game.com/lineage2/play/ Same company though and half or less pricing for some reason.
Huh, thanks. I thought the ru.4game site was the same exact thing, but.. well.. in russian language. Had no idea they had separate servers. :O Other than me not knowing Russian, are they worth checking out?
many peoples would go to play in to RU servers because of population and l2store prices, but main reason why they stay in eu/us is english language. if your RU skills is not at average level don't even try to start play there.. 1st of all EVERYTHING there is in RU, and 2nd, and most important thing - majority peoples don't even trying to speak EN, don't want or don't know.. + it would be very hard to do that when only cyrilic is available there..
Yes, only if you speak Russian, they have more services, half the prices if not less than Eu and higher population.
Tiat is fail server. Innova should make server on newest chronicle with subscription payment like on Classic server without L2 store. it would gather many players.
