    Lineage 2 team has been analyzing the situation on Ramona for some time, discussed it with the developers and after considering all "cons" and "pros" has decided to merge Ramona and Core. Indeed I constantly posted that we don't want to merge Ramona with Core, but the current situation on Ramona made us reconsider this point of view.

    The merge is planned to be performed during maintenance on April 18.

    Please note though that this is a complicated process, so the date can be moved 1-2 weeks forward. We are trying to eliminate all possible issues, so I hope you will understand this possible change of date. If you have any questions about the process, you can always ask here. If you have any questions or issues with your accounts, please address them to the Support Service as it's the most secure way to deal with your personal information.

    The merged server will be called Core(+Ramona).

    Schedule

    March 28:
    • CH auction disabled.
    April 11:
    • Character and clan rename services suspension.
    • End of Olympiad period (without assigning Hero status).
    • Starting adding Marks of Advance to the character creation + adding missing marks to the characters who didn't complete the quest.
    April 18:
    • Server merge.
    • Dimensional server suspension.
    • Olympiad new cycle start (to contest for May heroes until April 30), points reset to 30.
    • Ceremony of Chaos new cycle start (until April 30) without assigning CoC winner status for the period April 1- April 18.
    • CH ownership reset (Excluding contestable).
    • Castle ownership reset.
    • CH auctions start.
    Dates can be changed in case of moving the merge date forward

    The merge details

    Characters

    • There cannot be more than 7 characters on one server within the account.
    • If there are more than 7 characters on the account, the characters shall be chosen according to the following logic: XP amount (firstly), date of creation.
      • XP should be counted on the main class.
    • Clan leaders shall be transferred from Ramona to Core regardless XP amount and date of creation.
      • If there are two clan leaders on the account, the one with more XP shall be transferred.
    • If there are the characters with the same name on Ramona and Core, after the merge the one with less XP (on the main class) will get a prefix _CO or _RA.
    • If there are the characters with the same name on Ramona and Core and exactly the same amount of XP, the one which was created later will get a prefix _CO or _RA.
    • The characters with a prefix shall have a possibility to choose a new name the first time they enter the game after the merge.
    • A block of character (permanent or for some period of time) shall not influence character’s transfer.
    • A character from Ramona will not be transferred to Core, if:
      • its level is 39th and lower.
      • is waiting to be deleted.
    • Things that shall not change after merge:
      • Level, title, XP amount, Rep. value, individual fame, skills panel, skills themselves (active and passive, their level shall not change), Noblesse status (+nobless skills), PvP count, PK and Raid Points.
      • Subclasses and dual classes remain.
      • All the quests in the quest journal shall remain.
      • Mentor-mentee relations. If the mentor or the mentee was not transferred, such relations shall be broken. There should be no penalty for it.
      • PA Points.
      • The number of penalties on Ramona characters for Ceremony of Chaos registration cancellation shall remain.
    • The list of the current macro should NOT remain.
    • Friend list and block list of Core characters shall remain except for the cases when the character was deleted. Friend list and block list of Ramona characters shall NOT remain.

    Items

    • All the items of the transferred characters that are kept in inventory, in the warehouse or with help of Dimensional Merchant shall be also transferred.
    • All the active trades in auction house system shall be finished and the items shall be sent to the seller’s warehouse. The commission shall not be compensated.
    • Character tattoos shall remain.
    • The number of Mysterious Marks on the Ramona characters shall remain.
    • Blood Sword Akamanah\Demonic Sword Zariche\Seven Signs - all the character’s condition shall not remain for Ramona characters.

    Pets

    • Pet’s level and XP amount shall remain.
    • Pet’s name shall not remain. There shall be a possibility to name a pet once again.
    • The items that are located in the pet’s inventory remain.
    Clans

    • If two clans on Ramona and Core have the same name, after the merge the clan from Ramona receives a _RA prefix.
    • If the clan name matches on two servers, the clan from Ramona will be able to rename the clan free of charge.
    • Clan list, clan warehouse, clan level and clan skills get transferred to Core.
    • The following clan features will not be transferred from Ramona to Core:
      • Alliances and the current war-list with other clans.
    • After the merge, the possession of clan halls will be reset for the server.
    • Clans’ daily quest progress will be reset for clans from Ramona.
    • Taxes for castles on Ramona that remain unclaimed on the moment of the merge will not be returned.
    • Clan hall owners will be compensated with the initial selling price of the clan hall. The Administration will not compensate the intentional deals before the merge to increase the compensation amount.

    Contestable Clan Halls
    Possession of the following clan halls will not be reset and will retain by the clans from Core:

    For Ramona Players
    • Weekly count of Vitality items will be reset. For example, if a character had 0 vitality items left, after the merge they get:
      • Non-Premium accounts - Limit restored up to 5.
      • Accounts with active Premium - up to 10.000.



    F.A.Q.:


    No, account "separation" isn't provided.

    Unfortunately, no info yet.

    Blocked accounts will stay blocked after the merge.

    Yes, atm the event plan hasn't changed.

    Unfortunately, the devs do not plan to "equalize" the possibilities to get this old content.

    I personally never understood why they would do so, probably because they want another adena sink in a form of "adena for exp". Let's all hope they will tune this somehow later.

    Clan hall owners will be compensated with the initial selling price of the clan hall.

    I suppose for 1b income u need to be top stacked with everything. More realistic for major part of medium people are a bit lower numbers.
    Anyways 350kk per hour profit was pretty real number. Propably its even slightly higher and iron, jik, rio pts etc seems farms even up to 1b.

    maybe some people will finally realise that joining biggest clans will give them all they need to play this game like it should be played. With opportunities to more effective farm, fun, PVP, PVE, etc... Im not promoting any side, EN or TH or eventually some 3rd side from Ramona, just saying, that in biggest clans situation is slightly different than when u play solo without mates/friends.
    I hope Innova will push even more than now to make better enviroment for people who cannot afford so much of L2store, but wanna play here. Last year or so, adena value is significantly higher, Im not saying its good, its still bad, but its better than year ago, when we had ultra nonsense prices for everything...

    Its up to people, if they will read this topic, they can decide. They can join your side and cry about everything or they can join big clan and start to improve and play.
    I can guarantee U, that in TH they can farm something. I suppose, in EN they will be able to farm something as well.

    People are just like U_, afraid to join big clan, because they think, what i will do there. Well, be afraid and do nothing. OR be brave and try something. In my opinion u have nothing to lose.
    Im not saying, farming is ok. But is better than before. Items are cheaper. Easily buyable and top clans provide u much more opportunities to improve.

    They wont answer anything until they merge the servers and we lose CH. Then they will answer "continue participating for a CH if you dont recover yours".

    These numbers are just wrong unless you manage to get vacuum scenarios. Top dds, ppl dont die, cw doesnt come. K, maybe possible. But what if: new cp comes to the game, they do kartias and stuff, they get to 101 and they just die in Atelia let alone in Elven. Even Pavel is not manageable to farm even half of effectively as top chars can - you will die from the train. And top chars are like what? 10b investment at least. Pole,set,crit jewelry. Saying that you can earn 1b per h is the same as saying to an average citizen that it's possible to earn 10m per year instead of his 20k . So, all in all, it's better to work at McDonald's for the minimum and just l2store unless you are some kind of fanatic.
    On topic: I agree that resetting clan halls does not make any real sense, but I'm not surprised - in this server many things dont make sense.

    i said you CAN make, doesnt mean ppl will make.
    Reseting clan halls makes more sense than you think:

    Equal rights
    Most Core CH are not even used and are on box clans only.
    Ramona clans should have a chance to get one of those.

    and its always better to work irl than in l2

    I dont know what u talking about with l2 store 1:90 but seems u are either clueless , or ur clanmembers found some people with which they RMT at insane prices, cuz there was Several people shouting at the last event to buy l2store even 1:100 and guess what? they almost never found sellers for that price, so dream on
