It's all because of hype, that's it. Ru EU classic has very similar system, why haven't you went there? 70 bucks 1st month for 75% exp and 50% drop, then 20 bucks/month to keep the drop increase for every 3 accounts You realize its p2w indirectly since by paying cash you get more items/adena, plus level faster and acquire items faster. Also from daily gift you buy materials for crafting. It's same p2w just wrapped up in hardcore grinding with 9 accounts. The only difference you might have fun a bit longer with so many people lower lvl until you get bored of grinding. I wouldn't go back to to 1%/hour at lvl 60 grind
That's not even close to he P2W you see here, in Classic you can only buy 1 starter pack (which is necessary imo) and then you can spend money just to buy XP runes and scrolls which are not really a big deal because the server has a lvl cap which eventually you will reach. It would be P2W imo if enchants, or items like weapons or armors were sold in the store, and you don't buy mats from daily gifts, you recieve coins when you kill mobs which are not affected by drop rate.
Everything will come in l2store on classics like in Korea, just wait and see, brooches are in the horizon.
Im not saying its close but sayings its not highly influenced by cash is stupid. You twist it as much as you want the cash gets you that extra drop that silver coin (which you get only by paying money) which you can trade for mats and that extra exp which gives you faster access to better drops/items. Difference is you have to grind to put your cash to work.
Did you learn from Ramona in terms of Kartia limit? If you remember, and I hope you do, sometimes it was impossible to enter for hours due to instance limit and you changed it temporarily. It would be a good idea to increase the limit on K85 and K90 first week for the price of lowering K95 instance count.
Hopefully the Balthus Knight quests will keep some people busy and help them realize the game is more than Kartia. Just do your solo while you eat breakfast.
@Artchem this is actually huge and looking for an answer before server goes live. It was a big problem and hopefully it's fixed somehow
activity? top donators of core , rememebr ramona, enter add tarot and bb ramona, donations server dead in low time
there is only one way that innova revive and is to remove the p2w or put a reasonable store, until then people will still not enter, prefer to have 2 dead servers with 50 players to one with 2k and we all pay
on the other hand, who plays in forum made parties for me its either old mates or not playing at all. But yeah, innova made sure to hide new server info and don't advertise anywhere.
Well, this Classic is not announced p2p server bcs in order to login u must have a VIP status that u get by donating otherwise u have to wait for like 48h to enter. Also more than a week after the start ppl were forced to donate for soul/spirit shots bcs drop rates were lowed too much. "VIP status" have 4 different levels that gives benefits and if u have lvl 4 VIP u have bonus exp/drop/PVE dmg. If this is not p2w tell me what is ?!
