NCSOFT will open a classic server

yeah, but i can't see anything bad in it. i like the hard way to make the second class but the situation is spoiled with 60+ chars with 16-20h online

i hope that my online of some hours a day will be enough to feel good that's why i'm waiting for euro.

 

well i didn't said it is bad , but when u read people telling "i want old l2 back" countless times like they about to cry a river of tears i would think they would go faster till 40+ lvl , not all but 28287 kinda big number when u say only 1245 reached 2 class

 

ru top cp's are playing different model than you know. each character have 2-3 drivers so cp can be up 24/7, which makes 20h farm and 4h pvp for orfen/core/qa atm. and yeah theres alot of streamers that are selling plvl,adena,various items so rmt is going well. i havent seen in years eu cp that would focus that much on domination to have 3 drivers. but some may be interested in such a way to earn money even on eu.

 

very simple success takes note please admins.

2 servers.
don't be doing no 3-5 server ****.

ban bots
ban anyone that buys adena once, permaban
the moment anyone gets away with rmt server is garbage

i know i know so hard to keep track of it all, i don't care do your best. i know between clannies and stuff is harder to keep track of, but you guys have rmt standing at gatekeepers and shouting and spamming, that's when you are too lazy. any obvious rmt/botting, just permaban.

if the server at any time favors the rmt/botting, consider server dead. you guys always care about the short-term, let's get that money, fine that's okay. but server will die once you forget about the real players, the casual, averagejoes. we're not here to play 16+ hour/day.

everyone gets too serious about it too, this is a game. log in when you have time for fun not for oh god i need to level faster i gotta be better than people treating this like a job, what is the point of playing when you take out the fun. that's why the game owned when we were younger in our teens, because no one was this serious about it.

ban bots
ban rmt
2 servers
don't forget about real players
don't make the game too serious and spend 16+ a day on it

= success

don't worry you'll be able to sustain at least 5,000players if you keep to that formula. it's very obvious and easy to tell what makes or breaks a server. it's mostly just being lazy and letting all of the baddies run wild taking advantage, botting, etc.

 

@quinter - innova ru did an amazing job in banning bots. on 30+ locations (from when i've played there) it was less than 10% bots and from info on forum on 40+ levels there is basically no bots for several reasons: 1. too high risk to lose everything since they are banning regularly 2. there are only few locations where you can exp and you have to pvp frequently for them

@trium - while you are already flashing ****.net, you can check that for instance every day since the server opening had over 4.5k online http://****.net/?c=online&a=stat&target=gran_kain. exception were only few days , like yesterday because it was maintenance day and also it prevents many people from boxing some1 elses char, since you have to bind your account to your computer.

 

i see , well i have no clue about russian didn't try yet i decide to wait for eu if they make it but from forum talks i heard there is a lot of bots and rmt .. and now still not clear if 2.4 or 4.5k playing

 

i am afraid to say it, but lineage 2 was at its peak back in 2005/2006. usa was the biggest population on private servers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, they did not play no-life 24/7 like the eastern europeans have succumbed too. also i enjoyed the early days when the polish/ukrainian/czech/ro players were all new to lineage and pvping at rod and talking islands. i feel like the eu community will be a fun environment because of the culture that europeans and americans live in. we all have jobs to do, family and friends to see, but all share a love for lineage 2 and the memories. russia is all about level level level , cp cp cp.

 

good news
http://********-gaming.com/2015/03/breaking-news-l2-classic-gets-registration-website/

 

i feel like if this link was legit it would have been a little more formal in the release!

 

so maybe soon l2c in eu nice news

 

im sure there are more ppl with 2nd class since the info provided by that website is based on the info gathered by their program and since innova started banning ppl for 3 days for using that program there is less ppl using it so less information updated

4k at peak hour since the security update (2 days)

 

don't let that fool you, server is hard, but main reason isn't exp rates (which are around 0.5x of old rates), but adena rates. reason why you have 90% semi-serious players on 1st occu after almost 4 months is that they need to spend as much as time on dwarf as they spend on their real char. there is no way you can grind your equipment (unless you are extremely lucky) and also not using soul shots in pve (since you are broke as hell) is also the reason for such low progression.

 

you actually don't understand, how that tool works.

one account with it collect information about all the characters, that were in his /target range.
so it's almost impossible to hide from it. if your character even visits town, information about him will be updated.

meanwhile, online at prime time:

 

i know that but as i said someone have to be using their program (online with any character) to gather that information from the /target range and since the 1st warning was a 3 day ban so i dont know if it expands to 7 days, 1 month till perma ban... thats why there are less people willing to take that risk so thats why there are less updates in the website for example i mostly visit giran and oren and my info only updates when i stay too much time in dion when i go to core.

 

the wait is killing me t_t

 

it's decent, i still think the best case is maintaining 2 servers, 3 at most for eu. think in terms of the longrun.. eventually there will be the lowest populated server that dies off, i think 2 would be the best, it would guarantee relatively full slots and good gameplay, competition. i've always thought the more players on the server, the more fun, i know the exact opposite could also be as fun, but i'd prefer as high population as possible on each server, i think two servers is the best way of achieving that. taking the longterm into account.

 

let's us play our old good lineage 2. ( c2 - c5 )

i totally agree with what you're saying kruma.

oh and please. don't make it free to play t_t .

 

let´s just wait for l2classic eu, tell your friends about registrations and let´s hope that it will start!
ofc only pay2play, like lineage was at good times

 

still no official word on the registration? :cry:

 

they said it will happen within a month. just gotta wait.
