Exactly. Noone is going to instances/spots you mentioned. Thats means most of ppl will stay in town looking for kartia party. And yet, there is noone in city, noone is farming so where are the ppl ? xDD Im alost sure you are playing at this server, and trying to convince everyone and yourself its good online
Yesterday saw on twitch a russian guy feoh sts with circlet + 5 and level 98. PS. I logged yesterday and played 1hr and i can tell you that the difference between ramona start and tiat start is from the earth to the moon. It is not even close! The server looks empty. I think it is quite in the order of the things, taking into account the effort and conditions provided.
what did you expect ?? that 10k people will join this kind of server where endgame fun without putting euros is impossible why loose time make lvl and be one shooted by guy who will have op items from l2store ... At start we know it will merge with core+ramona who will join server that will be merged so after merge he will need face well geared people …
To be honest it's not even 100 ppl, if donors don't have online full boxes parties, about what i doubt. First AQ died at night btw.
Small servers are not that bad but the game came with: - Clan limited to 10 members and in order to increase that number it takes A LOT OF TIME. Like seriusly, 35.000 CRP, that can be like 1 or 2 weeks of intense farming - Balthus knight gives Dynasty armor while being mentee gives you immortal that makes you wonder why did you even skipped the leveling at all. - Soon no one will be able to craft SSR because there is absolutely no dorf there crafting. People will run out of SS and you will see what happens very soon without a good in-game resource of R crys - Day 1 and a lot of overpowered items in the store. While the majority runs in paulinas, some people already got r95/99 armors packs (that can't use), exclusive stats items from L2 store and such things we already know. That goes for the game, now from Innova we have: - Lack advertising. An official grand oppening that only reached the people that follows them in Twitter/Facebook or read the forums, that's it. it's like oppening a McDonals in the middle of the dessert. - They provided info late, bad and it was like they didn't even were interested on letting know about what was going on with the server. The FAQ was like reading 40 variations of "no" and seriously the question of the 1 millons of euros was "What's the difference between Ramona and the new server" After the launch we know the answer - The timming. Na classic opens classic F2P servers (but P2W ones) that are a big success in numbers of people (even knowing everyone runs 2 accs or more). The hype of the clasic was there and even with all the problems NA servers had, the people are still trying to play it (if the queue lets them) Oppening a new server was a good idea since in L2, a new server is like playing a new season, everyone starts from 0, you have all the opportunities, the nostalgia kicks in BUT THEN, L2Store happens. If you are not a 15 years old kid new to this game, you know how Innova/Ncsoft works and what happened to Ramona. Ramona died because the L2store, Tiat has more items in the l2store than Ramona had then WHAT HAPPENED!? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? The difference in player numbers it's so big that i really hope that the DEV team sit there and talks about it. As i said, some people prefers small servers, it's like a nice village where everyone knows everyone but in this case the village is smaller than even before and soon will appear juggernauts that gona kill everybody.
Juggernauts are already here and thinking, what go wrong, no ppl to kill we are sad And honestly i don't even bother with balthus or buying PA, i just go on loop macro and laugh how hard this server is failing once on 30min i see 1-2 rooms max which i saw was 5.
I don't think that there will be more server opennings. Na will end up merging live servers, the lasttest servers of classic will be merged and 2 will remain and what comes for EU, i really think that Tiat was the last opportunity, i don't think that NCsoft or Innova gona bother on openning a new one again after seeing the player population that one big officla server release can provide, which makes me sad. You know, like many of us, Lineage2 form a little part of me. Life as up and downs but when it comes to downs i sit there thinking on simpler times like being a kid, sitting in front on my PC farming for a Tallum Blade. I really hope that Tiat ends up being a good server where everyone can have fun, from the bottom of my heart.
Innova will make better if merge Core+Ramona with one Ru server. Prices of l2store here are always 2 times expensive than ru but if merge to ru and get their prices for sure Innova will get more money that right now from Core. People if see that is fun on server will spend more money
They are already asking to merge ru servers and im pretty sure the population there is higher than core. For ncwest it will be more popular than EU Classic simply because you can run 3 accounts free afaik and if you enjoy the game you can just lvl up without the VIP packages. And ofc all the hype and history is there behind it. Innova has the worst marketing and rep team ever - incompetence, arrogance you name it they have it all. Looks like you must be that way to get recruited. This new server will die as silently as it was introduced. P.s. I am 99% certain that any random person here could have advertised the new server to a larger audience than the whole great Innova company has done. That's how bad they are
The idea behind this new model of server is right in terms that game play will not be heavily dependent on L2 store, and players will have the hallucination of equality, and that they have to play the game to get goodies. The problems are: - It won't attract wallet-whales, so the company won't make easy and fast profit - Ramona memories are still fresh, so it doesn't attract even casual ones - You can't play this game anymore without OP items from L2 store, just go XP after 100lvl with normal gear, without +10 PvE, brooches etc
@Rnika Unless the starting mission gives us the recipe and as i said, a efficent amount of drops to get crys from it.
everyone can who have learnt recipe. before it was from 10d quest, now i have no idea where those recipes is..
Both of this are wrong: The balthus (Paulina) S is in many ways (if not totally) better than the mentee immortal sets. Everyone can craft shots, the majority of the shot recs aren't dwarf-only. And all classes, except ertheia, can crystallize items. I don't think say this on purpose to mislead, but because of lack of knowledge. You should look around before spreading false information.
looks like they decided to squeeze the last x2 l2store prices to the max with this new server, just before we get merged with ru heuhuehueheu
