People request NCSOFT do the following changes in order to keep playing here and keep buying Ncoin : Game Economy : As you can see , there is a huge problem with the game economy, and the only Items people sell or buy are the Items from L2 Store Events. We want the following changes to be made so you balance the game! Adena : decrease adena drop amount in the following areas : Abandoned Camp Ruins of Agony Ant Nest Gorgon Flower Garden Cruma Marshlands Cruma Tower (Floor 1,2) That would prevents the pony bot Swarms. Also if you gonna decrease the adena on the following areas you should add some Newbie Pack on L2Store (for a low amount of NC COINS)that would provide a 30days C grade Weapon ,C grade armor set and C grade Jewels, so the new people can save adena for the high lvl areas ! Increase the Adena drop amount on the following areas : Ketra , Varka , Imperial Tomb , Antharas Lair , Dragon Valley , Forgotten Island (inside on the party zone) , Giants Cave. All that high lvl areas have a very low Adena Drop amount, we cannot farm in those areas because the items / Adena drop are very bad , therefor nobody farm on that high lvl areas!(around 200 adena in 6 party members), TOI 11 is around 700. We have tons of materials and craft items that nobody buy and we would like NCSOFT to make them again sellable to the Grocery so we can get some adenas for the useless craft items. Also we need a decent spoil rate, because the game is completely unbalanced , we cannot receive Recipes to craft B grade / A Grade items because the spoil rate is very~very low ! We understand that this game is Free To Play and that is the reason there are low rates for spoil/drop, but that items you guys add on NC STORE make that server Pay to Play actually, and we must invest about 150 $ monthly to keep the vip7 UP .This is not a free to play server anymore, thats the reason you guys must Increase the rates! High LvL Daily/Dungeons/Instance/Farm Areas : We would like to discuss about the high lvl farm places dungeons instance, that on L2Classic right now are impossible to be done by someone because those moobs are too strong and they are too many ! Four Sepulchers : There is a nice dungeon that cannot be done on this server because there are too many moobs inside, and those mobs hit too hard.We would like NCSOFT to fix that , would be nice a decrease in the mobs number same as you guys did with the Siege Guards! And to fix the damage those mobs deal, because is way to high. Frintezza INSTANCE: we need a nerf aswell on that instance, there are too many mobs also and they hit very hard ! Antharas Lair : this is a very nice farm place for party but unfortunatley the ITEMS / ADENA drop rate are very low (there are some 40lvl places that gives same amount of adenas as 85 lvl farm places) .Mobs in antharas Lair hit realy hard that’s why there's nobody farming there ! we need a fix aswell on that place ! Imperial Tomb : a nice place for party farm & for solo farm also, but unfortunatly mobs Adena / Item drop is very low and those mobs are way too strong for the content NCSOFT gives us right now ! Dragon Valley : Same issues , mobs hit too hard (we cannot farm in there even with all Items L2Store Provide) those moobs drop 1k-2k adenas that is a very low amounth of adenas for a 85 LVL Area, people trying to spoil Cloth pieces and did’nt get anything from spoil .Thats mean the spoil/drop rates are very low. Varka and Ketra exactly the same issues as previous regions : very low adena drop amount,we dont disscuss about getting some good drop because its like impossible even with vip 7. Aden Pirate Dungeon : we need some fixes here because that dungeon is the only way we can get S grade Craft materials, key parts, and right now that dungeon is very “unfair”, you guys should make it same as 40-45 lvl Dungeons from Adena: 1 time only per char/day, and if someone wish to go more times they should buy that stone from NC Store, because that 1hour entry right now sux hard, you can just go inside hunt the Goldberg Buttler and than quit dungeon and the time gonna be exactly the same (it does’nt count down when you get outside of the dungeon) it should work like: you go inside 1 time, you get 1 hour to hunt there once you get outside you should not be able to go anymore for that day only if you get that entrace pass from NC STORE. ALL those places mentioned before need to be nerfed ! so we can have doable content after 85 lvl ! Chaotic Characters (PK Characters) : There are a lot of things to say about that issue, but let’s go straight to the point. The PK Characters should be not able to use Teleport (my teleport system), right now there is chaos, everywhere there are people pretending the spot you farm is their own spot and they just log a pk char and clean ur farm chars ! You also should rework that PK Debuff : it should decrease Casting speed , M.atk , Atk Speed around 30-50% and PK Chars should not be allowed to use that 76 Mount. Server Events : Here we go, we are tired to have Pay to Win events, and that has become exagerated !!!We need to balance events like gambling boxes and normal events. The only events you guys are doing so often are Open BOX EVENT ( That’s a gamble event) we also need to spend money in order to win something good ! We are looking for some kind of Free to play Events , like LETTER event or Squash EVENT , Matchstick event and many other Farmable events !!! Thats what we are looking for, NCSOFT is doing to many pay to win events and most of us are tired of them. For example : On December you made Blizzard Ice box event for 4 weeks, when that event ended 2 weeks there was no event and then you put HearthLove box event, c’mon that’s realy ridiculous... We want some Farm events or Exp events , maybe 2x Respawn time on raids events or weekend boost exp . The main idea of those Events you guys are making is that most of them are PAY to WIN events and it has became ridiculous ! As we tent to improved our characters , to get them higher level and better items , we cannot stay at level 40-50 to farm epic bosses , you kill our content and our fun. We want you to boost their level/remove penalty drop level Removing barrier till 70 level raidbosses would be very good. Epic Raidbosses : Baium is completly bugged, you can’t land any debuff on it ! That’s the reason nobody kill Baium , we cannot land any debuffs and he deal a lot of damage ! Antharas has the same issues as baium , you cannot land any debuffs on it and he does a lot of damage Queen Ant - lvl 40 raidboss since the server Opening , we would like if you guys gonna make it 80 lvl same as the other epic raidboss ! Orfen - 50 lvl Raidboss since the server opening , Same issues as Queen ant , we need those raidbosses 80 lvl !!! Core - 50 lvl Raidboss since the server Opening , same as Queen Ant and Orfen !!! Frintezza - no way to get in there, moobs hit too hard and they are too many, you guys need to decrease the amount of mobs in that place ! Also we cannot see what debuffs are on raidbosses since the last big patch ! I guess is time to put it back so we can enjoy that game ! Doomcryer / Dominator has no Attribute damage increase !!! I've been reporting this issues for 9 months or maybe more and still not fixed ! We want back the 5th SkillBar Shortcut also we want back the Damage Window (you guys remove them on the preivouse patch. @Hime @Juji IF THAT CHANGES NOT GONNA BE IMPLEMENTED YOU GONNA LOSE HALF OF THE SERVER ALSO YOU GONNA LOSE A LOOT OF MONEYS BECAUSE WE GONNA STOP BUY NCOINS !!!

Hello, This is Andouille, player since 2006, its now 17 years i have been playing this game and probably knows more than 90% of the mechanics of the game, and knows from all the contacts that i have made, the change that this game needs to be great again, let me elaborate. (Speaking about the live version, but same can apply to classic and Aden) First of all: This game has a huge potential players Worldwide, As most knows, 90% or more of the L2 players are playing illegal servers, the reasons? These servers are way more competitive, for one reasons, the Difference in items/gears between players are Close to simmilar, which makes the gameplay more fun and enjoyable. As exemple: i myself have a character in this game that almost have every item in EndGame, those items costs alot of money, and unfortunately not many people are able to have such gear due to financial reasons, that is first. Second of all, the promotions plays a huge part on gearing up (PayToWin Model), items are mostly only acquirable from Sales, as a company, for sure you must make money. But you must see the big picture. Right now we have a few people, 1% of L2 population who are very wealthy , who can afford to spend thousands and thousands of dollar. they will be able to gear up and Dominate the Server. Due to the simple reasons the other people cant, or not enough. After that, the Sales promo are not rewarding enough, you are only able in the major part to "open" boxes, and hope for a top reward, but its gambling, and most of the time people are afraid to spend by exemple 500$ and have nothing in return. this is a bad model, it causes alot of frustration, people are leaving the game due to the frustrations it brings, even the rich people don't like to feel scammed and quit. Trust me i play for 17 years i don't talk nonsense. As exemple, The Dragon slayers event was not just "opening" boxes, you could enchant and statistically could calculate the cost to make the items, so people were awara of what they could make and at what cost on a average, look the sales of 2022 Slayers event, its mindblowing the money NCSOFT made on that specific event, it is why i have made a post the day of the event to warn NCWEST staff about the major drama that will occur because of the nerf. i didn't lie, 200+ replies, 11k+ views, NCWEST didn't answered for a whole week. Due to that, i now know like 10 to 20 people who were regular spenders, who decided to quit the game. It's already too late, the servers are already not very populated, atleast not like in the past. This cause boredom ingame, no pvp, no competition, no fun, no fairplay, and a huge gap between little spenders and big spenders, NCWEST should listen to the needs of players in term of sales, people need specific items, gear, mats to evolve and upgrade their gear to play on all the updated Area ingame, like Dethrone and TOI etc. The limited timed hunting zone got a huge nerf also, imagine people were farming , were happy to be able to make a few bilions, gear up over time, the free to play had hope to progress ingame also, it all has got nerfed too. Frustration kicks in, and people quit again. Now we have light/normal servers mainly because of that. If the game was rewarding enough in term of Farming, and rewarding enough in term of sales, the server could be Heavy permanently, competitiive, and everyone could have fun, in pve, or in pvp. It's very logical. YOu must do something to the players feel good after spending money, and not frustrated. I could go on on many other aspects. as i said i have the knowledge and talked to alot of people, if NCWEST needs a new Community manager or Sales manager, i truly know i could make this company make 10x more the money they make now. And i am very humble saying that. @Wissp @Hermes Hope you guys will read and take a few actions. We love this game, all we want is to keep enjoying it, bring our friends and make the game amazing again. Have a good evening

Please +1 if you would like this issue fixed. So the 15th anniversary reward for 15 year old players today was a raid master outfit, which can neither be destroyed or put into your warehouse. With all the gear in this game, my toon is almost always 120/184 inventory. Yet to switch class I need to be down to 95 inventory. Switching class from main to dual class, something that should be simple is very difficult. This is very annoying mechanic to the game that I feel can be easily fixed. Can I get some support? Maybe the Dev team can look into this. This 95/184 cap, makes it difficult to keep buying gear. And the most bound items added to my toon the worse the situation gets. Pretty soon Top players will not be able to switch class. This is a very simple quality of life issue, ncsoft can fix. We just need to tell them as a community that it is important to us that they fix this.

Hello Adventurers, We have taken action against players exploiting a location that was intended to be inaccessible during castle sieges with the My Teleport system. The castle owner has been removed and the castle has been reset back to NPC status. We will continue to take action against those who exploit inaccessible locations and will look into more ways of further preventing abuse. Thank you.

Nice joke about banning bots There are 55+ bots farming 24/7 Cruma 2 getting reported by many people everyday and nothing happens.

Hello All, We have received a lot of feedback about your frustrations with the recent Tales Untold update. We understand where it’s coming from, and have been actively working with the Dev team to address your concerns. The first of the direct changes we will implement on September 2 is the Mysterious Attribute Herb, a high drop-rate buff item in hunting zones, which boosts hunting efficiency and negates the recent increase to monster attribute defense. This should make it easier to hunt and gain XP. When picked up by any party member, it will provide the following buff to all party members within a certain distance: Attack Attribute +150 and PVE Damage +10% for 30 minutes The Mysterious Attribute Herbs will drop from monsters in these hunting zones: Tanor Canyon Fafurion Temple Wasteland Atelia Fortress Storm Isle Silent Valley Garden of Spirits Alligator Island Phantasmal Ridge Enchanted Valley Ivory Tower Crater Field of Silence Giant’s Cave Breka’s Stronghold Tower of Insolence Superion Fortress Primeval Isle Swamp of Screams Harnak Underground Ruins Isle of Prayer Abandoned Coal Mines Cruma Tower Forest of Mirrors Imperial Tomb Desert Quarry Dragon Valley Sea of Spores Atelia Refinery Fields of Massacre Forest of Spirits Plunderous Plains Sel Mahum Training Grounds Isle of Souls - Stronghold 1 Field of Whispers Plains of the Lizardmen During this Wednesday’s maintenance, we are also extending the Letter Collector event to September 16, giving you two more weeks of rewards. The Red Libra event is also making its grand return for one month! We are also working with the Dev team to move up the release of the Varka Silenos Barracks and Ketra Orc Outpost hunting zone renewal. The details of these Lv. 112 party hunting zones are still being arranged, and we are aiming for a mid- to late- September release. This schedule may change as COVID-19 continues to impact development timing and scheduling. Thank you for all your feedback, we will continue to work with the Dev team on it, so please let us know your experience with the September 2 changes here on the forums.

Here is my take on Lineage 2’s issues. I have end game gear, LvL 119, stage 2 daggers, +10 circlet, 18 elmore, +10 artifacts, greater agath, 30 forgottens, hero, etc. Gear Access The main issue we face is the ability for people to obtain gear without hitting a pay wall. Each update, mobs get harder and rebalanced for the Korean standard player. However, our export region has been, and still is, the absolute most expensive in regards to paid events of any export region and the least amount of gear distributed from said paid events. Forgotten skills should be a Collection item or their price and availability completely adjusted. 1 skill costs $1000 USD, $800 USD on an event sale. Each class needs 2-4 of these learned, and we have a dual class, so that is 4-8 passive skills needed. This is tops $8000 for 1 toon, for some passive skills. The game is balanced for us having these skills 30/31, but yet a very large portion of people barely get past level 15. Our export region also lacks the L-Coin store. This would breathe life into so many players it is unreal. Why this basic game mechanic has been left out of our region only is insulting to the entire player base. We see the other regions, we read the official Korean news, we know what the game can be like. We also know our region is purposely adjusted to milk cash form people. I get you need to make money. You don’t have to financially gouge you player base unapologetically in the process. Paid events are typically bad. Loot boxes are bad. People drop $500 USD and get nothing of value, barely topping out at a $200-$250 return. This makes people not spend or quit. If you insist on keeping the same types of events and pay models, you have to understand that your pay model is killing the active players from existing. Make prices 1/10 or even 1/5 of their current price and see how many new players spend and show up. With that said, some events are nice (Slayer, Rim Kama, to name a couple). Then you have utterly insulting events like the real attack cookie craft event. Spend 200-300 bucks for one chance at a 5% click? In Korea, they get real attack cookies like candy, by the 1000s. Of course they can make those clicks feasibly. For us, its price gouging. We see this, were not dumb. Why are half the dragons still shut off? Why do no mobs or raids drop anything we need? Your current system starves players of all basic items needed to even be semi successful in game. No one is going to get hooked if they speed to 105 in a week on freebie gear, then get hit with the reality that they must spend a few grand to even kill a mob to progress. This screams broken product that is mismanaged, not a healthy MMO that entices new players to come. Hero Coin This is supposed to be a premium currency, and you still advertise it as a bonus perk for all purchases. However, the items in the Hero Coin store are completely obsolete, and have been for multiple years. All items in game should be available via Hero Coin for a standard, basic, non insane price, even when not on an event. This is a premium currency, make it be a premium currency again. Here are some examples: Dragon Claw : 100 Hero Coin Elcyum : 1 Hero Coin 30 Day Advanced Mammon Talismans : 50 Hero Coin (Any Type) Dark/Bloody Armor Stones : 5 Hero Coin Dark/Bloody Wep Stone : 25 Hero Coin Cystal of Dawn : 10 Hero Coin Sayha Talisman Box : 2 Hero Coin LVL 5 La Vie Box : 50 Hero Coin +10 Normal Agathion Random : 500 Hero Coin Kain Scrolls (Ally Types) : 25-50 hero Coin Each Shiny Kain Scrolls : 150-250 Hero Coin Each 15-18 Cloak Scroll : 250 Hero Coin 10-15 Cloak Scroll : 100 hero Coin Events should allow cheaper and easier access to stuff. But your premium currency for your ultimate spenders should not be forgotten and abandoned. Red Libra Changes Stone of destiny was an amazing addition. However, there is no way for someone with a $10,000+ USD Dragon Wep to swap that weapon if they want to change class, basically eliminating one of your top paying customers from every swapping their class. This needs to be majorly re-thought out, as its pushing someone like me to quit instead of reroll due to how bad my class has been balanced against. At libra, we should be able to pay and swap any stage dragon wep for the same stage, but dif wep type. You CANNOT lock this to the type of dragon it is (vala to vala for example) because no all dragon weps offer all weapons. PvP Balance There is no balance in end game PvP. Tyr’s, Yuls and now DK’s own everything in mass PvP and Olympiad. The game has many classes (Dagger, Summoner specifically) which have been forgotten and obsoleted due to how the game has evolved. The game is all about non target AoE’s, Celestial, UD, Steel Mind, Range. There is no point to try and pvp on a dagger anymore as every single class does the 1 shot better, has way more HP, Pdef, damage mitigation skills, and DPS. In Olympiad, there are talismans that cancel hide. Dagger is the only class an item like this exists for, why? A sayha seer’s hide is nack up instantly, so it isn’t a counter to them. Where is the cancel Guts, Cancel Rage, Cancel UD talismans to balance this overpowered item? Yul has flair, jump, range, aoe, 1 shot of multiple targets at once. Why doesn’t a dagger have any of this? A yul is now an aoe range dagger, and the dagger is completely obsolete. I would reroll, but I cant, because of the above mentioned red libra dragon wep issue. To help dagger, the following needs done: · Barrage of Nails needs skill power increased to match other stabs. · While in hide, we should be immune to all damage to allow movement in mass pvp · Cooldown on hide should be lower · Ultimate Evasion needs s major boost (skill evasion, mdef, some type of dmg mitigation) · Counter Stance should be 100%, not 80%. Also, once you enacted the 90% crit cap, this never should have been applied to a dagger. When we don’t crit, we do 0 damage. This had a massively negative affect on our pvp viability. We have so many missed stabs now, and I maxed out skill crit rate and it still sucks. Its funny, a dagger is supposed to 1 shot people, but all it does is stab 5x on the rear of a person in 1v1, they pop shirt celest, no tsarget, and 1 non target aoe and you’re dead. An eviscerator can run around with perma steel mind, basically being immune to everything for long periods of time, with only 10-15s windows of being able to die, all while 1 shotting anything it touches. How is a dagger more broken than that? Yep, this is balanced. And don’t get me started on the Death Knight. Every single player agrees this is a broken, unbalanced class that you gave every cool skill to. But yet this update, you just boost it. A 110 DK in mid gear can 1 shot an end game toon in end game gear. Absolutely broken. Why does a tank need all the best skills from a yul/tyr/eviscerator all at once? Do the developers even play this game? I don’t have a problem with the tactile playstyle of dagger. It is fun and I truly love it. But the game is so unbalanced in PvP it isn’t even fun anymore. Hunting Zones I do believe the true issue facing us is the gear issues I referenced above and pay wall issues. However, the hunting zones are poorly thought out and just boring at times. You need zones that cater to specific types of classes. Where is the old Fields of Silence that resisted everything except fists and daggers? Where is the lethal/half kill imperial tomb type area we had long ago? Where is our monster factions that we were told was coming back years ago? You should rehash the faction book and the talismans we were able to make with that system, and focus on an end game farm system for upgraded talismans. Why can we have multiple end game zones for dif party types, different things to farm and upgrade, all for just playing. It gets old logging in and going to the same place for 20 hours a day. It’d be nice if we could farm something to break up the grind. Not everything should be pay walls. A dagger’s bread and butter is to maintain a status effect on their target based on shadow chase or bluff landing. ToI is completely immune to status effects, lethal, half kill, and there is a new buff on them saying they resist blows. Why not resist bows or slashers or cutters? Why just what a dagger needs to be successful? In Closing I have given long, well written posts in the past. Nothing was done with them. The gear access is is truly the root cause of our regions issues. If you want your product to be better, listen to our suggestions. I have watched so many people quit over the last year its insane. JP export region has all gear on everyone. Core and Ru has insanely cheap prices. We get the watered down expensive region that has no f2p coin store. Some good marketing, proper price structure for the economies you service (not everyone who plays this makes 500 grand a year) would do Lineage 2 wonders. Good luck.

Hello Everyone, It is with much sadness that I share that today, after 10 ½ years, I am leaving NCSOFT in pursuit of a new adventure outside of the gaming industry. This was truly a difficult decision to make – it’s not easy to leave great co-workers, an amazing game and a truly devoted community of players. We have been through a lot together, and I would not have changed any of my time spent working on LIneage II for the world. I will cherish all the amazing memories I’ve made since joining the product back in 2011 and will miss all of the Anniversary events, lab requests, and player interactions I’ve had in-game, on the forums, and in Discord. Please know that Lineage II will be left in great hands. Hermes, who you might have seen helping buff players during the 18th Anniversary GM Buff Event, will be taking over for me next week. He is not only a quick learner but a “jack of all trades” Producer with many years of experience working in MMORPGs and I am confident that he will do right by all of you. Thank you again to all the Lineage II players who have supported me and this community over the years! I will miss all of you forever! Best Regards, Juji

First, I would like to say that I have always been a fan of the world of Lineage ever since I began playing Lineage I in 1999. The real life friends I have made through the game will endure long after we dismount and hang up our weapons for good. Having played a wide variety of MMOs on the market over the years, Lineage II is by far one of the most visually stunning games on the market. It continues to be my “go to” recreation when I want to de-stress from a long day at work. Second, I cannot speak for everyone who plays Lineage II. I can only speak for myself and my experiences in the game, which may vary considerably from other players. As I write this letter, I am reminded of an interview by GameSpot back in 2003 with Raoul Kim, then lead game designer for Lineage II. I quote, “RK: While Lineage II is basically intended as a solo-play game, we also gave significant consideration to group play as well. In fact, you can have a lot of fun either way. There are a lot of things to do and a lot of adventures in the game when you play solo. Grouping together with others is much more critical at higher levels of the game. That's when castle sieges occur and when players must group together to overcome high-level monsters. Overall, people can enjoy the game either by playing alone or by playing with others as a group. We made sure that people will have fun in both cases.” I was fortunate to participate in Lineage II’s Closed Beta, Open Beta, and Prelude to going live. Based on those experiences the first character I created was a crafter, and the second was an archer. Through Chronicle 5 I was our clan’s primary crafter for equipment and materials. During this time pro-farmers took control of the markets and made it difficult for normal players to earn their own way without engaging in RMT. I will also say that 3rd party apps have always been part of the game. From dark elf assassins on Talking Island the very first day to near invincible parties in castle sieges, normal players have always had to endure those who bypass legitimate game mechanics in pursuit of their desire to dominate through any means. To be blunt … cheating IS cheating. Enough said about that. In recent years NCSoft/NCWest has tried to administer changes in game mechanics to address what I would call “bad human behavior,” including botting and RMT. The result was a more restrictive gameplay environment for the normal player, and a game market that is out of control. Crafters became irrelevant and most have been deleted or sidelined. I know as I deleted by first character awhile back. The game moved to “Free to Play” and became even worse for players and more players became dependent upon on RMT or paying through the nose for “events” that used to be free to all players. Remember the early Squash events? They were great! I get it that developers were, at some point, trying to “fix” areas that players complained about. But that seems to have been thrown out the window en lieu of a system designed to extract as much revenue as possible out of the player base without providing commensurate game satisfaction. The current state of the game is as bad as I’ve ever seen it. As a clan leader, it is impossible to support the needs of my clan members because we are unable to “farm” or “quest” for what we need. While there is a fast track for leveling a toon up to level 105, organic equipment provided in the game is useless for normal game play. Forget Raoul Kim’s intent for an enjoyable game for all. Forget the opportunity to earn in game rewards or be able to build a character up without spending an inordinate amount of $$$. The element system and vitality system instituted in the past few years has driven the market to a place where many players have no choice but to engage in bad behavior, spend a lot of money, or quit. And believe me, I have personally witnessed this through my own clan members. And it’s frustrating as hell because I do not condone bad behavior. Realizing that this forum has zero chance of instigating any meaningful changes to the game, here are some changes that could benefit the player base and keep this wonderful game alive for years to come: 1. Do away with the vitality system in its entirety. All the vitality system has done is drain the economy as people try to level at a reasonable rate. Adding xp/sp stats to items is fine. All you need to do is create a reasonable exp wall and wallah!, players will engage. It was brutal when the game began, but paying for it is just stupid. 2. Return to a meaningful crafting system and adjust drops appropriately. If you hunt in a 115 area, you shouldn’t be rewarded with 110 level items. That’s building down, not up. You should be rewarded with items that can get you to the next level. 3. If you truly want to make the game effort-based and fair, make items across the board non-tradeable and create a store where people who want to spend money instead of farm for items can do so. It shouldn’t be “either/or.” It’s the only way to make the game RMT free. I’m sure this isn’t popular with many, but that doesn’t make it not true. 4. Balance out the element system. Right now, because people can’t afford gear, they can’t play in the vast majority of hunting areas at their level. I understand making the game a challenge, but making it unplayable isn’t the answer. The game is supposed to appeal to different types of players. 5. Fix the help system by providing more information on game mechanics. In years gone by, fan sites worked hard to build decent data centers so people could figure out what they were doing. Most, if not all, have long since died or are not public. Information sharing is your best friend, whether you accept that or not. Now it’s just a guessing game for most and frustrating. 6. And finally, please bring back some meaningful quests that give good rewards and decent xp if you’re successful. The few instances and a handful of dragons isn’t sufficient to support a wide-ranging player base. Lineage used to have some great storyline-based quests that fed the RPG perspective of the game. Let’s go there again, please. I’m sure there are those that vehemently disagree with some or all of what I’ve presented here. That’s okay. I’m just one person with one point of view. There are only a handful of us left who have been here since before the beginning. We’ve hung in there through all the ups and downs. Why you ask? Because it’s a great game. There are always going to be those that complain, but ignoring everyone to avoid the background noise is not the answer. Time to change your tune to the benefit of all current and future players of Lineage II.

@Arctic @EMpulse Hi I dont know who came up with these price on night market coin but its insane how nothing is worth to get , everything can be earned way cheaper ingame also, why giving us Shining gran kain seed bracelet scroll?? No one in both chronos or naia has a +7 seed bracelet, let alone +5 its already very rare you know why? Because you have to spend 2Bil for a damn scroll so giving us that type of scrolls now just proves the ncwest team incompetence to know our servers situation im sorry but this is a totally garbage pricing on items Only « gambling part » will be worth to try i guess 108 ncoin a chest to get 99% garbage most of the time thxs ncwest for taking care of your customers, truly disgusting after all these years if you tell me

Fletcher Good morning, I was wondering since the player who cheated to win the Why Burn Event for the Wyvern mount is now permanently banned and the mount lost. If you could consider awarding it to the 2nd place winner of the event. It seems only fair that since that player didn't win it to begin with only because the top player was cheating using 3rd party software and exploits. GM Saika Hello there, We really understand where you're coming from in this request. However, please note that the Game Support Team is not a part of the development process and is unable to comment on or answer questions about such aspects of the game like giving the first prize reward to the 2nd place winner. However, if you think that the first prize reward should be awarded to the 2nd place winner, we encourage you to suggest it on our official forums: Title: Lineage II Forums Link: https://forums.lineage2.com/ This is the best place to discuss your ideas with fellow players who can voice their feedback and suggestions. These can then be forwarded to the development team from there. Please let us know if we can be of any other assistance. Regards, GM Saika NCSOFT Support Team @Juji @Hime

There have been so many changes in the game as of late and I feel like we should reevaluate not being able to declare war to a clan that has less than 15 players in it. There are several people taking advantage of this. They keep the clan at 14 people and are pk’ing others in the game with no consequences besides a “debuff”. They can attend siege and not have war declared as well. They run around griefing other players and clans. If they do not want war, they should refrain from doing such things and war will not be declared. They should not be exempt from having consequences for their actions. Some have even gone as far as to purchase new clans to put other members in to prevent war from being declared on them. I feel like they are taking advantage of the under 15 members limit and it’s not intended for what they are doing. Thank You!

@Arctic @EMpulse @Juji Hello, Again, Sorry but yesterday GM's posted on website event info just by doing "Copy Paste" from last year without changing even the Date. Is this what the community deserve? that was first of all, Now second of all, Every year we get cloak event, and every year price is getting more and more expensive this is truly unbelieavable You guys for the first time ever put a limit on the Legendary Scroll with Hero coin (50 hero coin, limited 1 per acc) This is truly a way to make people spend alot of ncoin to get their cloak legendary, so price ingame will just be higher than it already was. A Sale must be a Sale and we must have Discounts and cheaper price than normal, sorry but this is huge disrespect, Every year, and every time a big disapointment, No real Sales or discount at all, and limit the legendary scroll to 1 per acc, Knowing the rates to make cloak is really bad, people will have to spend annother 2000$+ to get a +15 cloak, not even a +18, You guys didn't offer us new Stable scrolls to make +18 also, that would be a good option for hero coin. Hero coin shop is outdated, we don't know what to do with em, remove that limit on legendary scroll, because this is the first time and there is no reason except than milking more money from players. Truly disapointing from NCWEST staff

asnow163 Aug 26, 2021, 20:51 PDT @Juji @Hime Hello, My name is Stephen. About 14/15 years ago I started playing Lineage 2 with my mother. I was about 5 and I played her healer, my sister played her iss (Bishop at the time). It is one of my earliest memories, playing this with her. Unfortunately life and jobs got in the way and she stopped playing for a few years, though I played on and off for fun the entire time. As of a year or two ago, we started playing again more intensely. We met great people and friends and it gave us time together away from everything going on in the world. It brought me back to being a kid. I had been sick with what I now know as Crohns for about 3 years now. I was finally on the upswing after being in the hospital with emergency blood transfusions, many infusions of medications, and tons of blood tests. My mom helped me through all of it and was there for every appointment and visit. We played the game through it and it was a way for us to connect and keep up a hobby together. I played it in the hospital and we would play it through my visits to pass the time. It brought us closer than we already were and gave us something to do together we both enjoyed. We started attending the sword event in our evening time and watched all the PvP from the building behind the akamanah box. We had a spot we would sit our toons and watch and dream of joining the fight. One day we ended up meeting some people there and after they helped us for a while and invited us into clan, we made it to the field and were PvPing ourselves! She spent months helping people get better at jumping for the swords and figured out a more pinpointed way of playing the event fairly. She did it all for fun and because she enjoyed playing with friends and even “enemies” in game. She saw the good in everyone and just wanted to enjoy the game and make it more enjoyable for everyone else without asking for anything in return. Unfortunately my mom passed away suddenly in may of aggressive esophageal cancer. 2 months from diagnosis, I had to say goodbye. She was known in game as "GottaGo" and was a member of propve and a very active member in the community, many players knew and loved her from all sides and places of the server. I write this ticket in hopes that I could draw the attention of a GM or anyone willing to hear me out. Below I've attached images of the location where her and I would watch the swords event when we had just started again. I've also attached images of an unnamed NPC that looks strikingly like an elpy... Ironically, that was her favorite mob too. Ever since we first started she loved them and would ask juji more recently to bring them back. Anyways, I was hoping a GM or someone would consider naming the NPC "serita", it was her buddhist name meaning "one who is free from suffering". I would also love it if there was any possibility to put one stationary in the spot where we used to watch swords, so she could always be watching over us? I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this and I thank you for any help that can be given. She and I loved the game and it would mean the world to me and some of her comrades to have this small remembrance of her. Peace and love, Stephen "Dag"

I said no for a few reasons 1. Neutral zone - area redone should been part of the last update in February when people that range was struggling 2. If you remove the neutral zone area this is really not an update but more a large weekly patch - making mobs harder AGAIN not learning your lesson from August Update 2020 or Feb 2021 update. 3. Every other territory has gotten the coin shop but us and you continue with the whack a mole boxes and honestly most of us getting tired of it. It does not inject the needed items into the economy. 4. Major items needed: Brooch jewels at min level 5 or greater, gem powder cheap to upgrade our unupgradable brooches, blood and dark armor stones so people can make r 110 armor sets, enchant rates on armor below +10 return to prior of Feb 2021 update, cloaks that actually enchant safely to +10 even if it cost more because at his point the pricing on those cloaks is insane, elycum dropping from mobs even if its a rare drop in place like PI or out of Field of Crysis, at least give us a way to work towards it. 5. Stop making things harder if the people are struggling already. We are not all asking for god jewels or dragon weapons just basics all the other regions already have. 6. In the next update GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS. Please add quests, mythos, explanation on these areas some fantasy this is still a RPG game right? Simple fix reactivate the different factions at least they gave you something to do and work for.

I have recently Made 7 Attempts to craft a paagrio earring. Here is what the "chance" is according to NC Soft As you can see the chance above shows the SAME description for each.. if the probability is the same the success rate should be 50%. I tested this theory and attempted 7 crafts, all failed. To give you an idea of the probability of 7 fails in a row when the chance is 50% it would be. 1 /128 or 0.78% Try flipping a coin and getting it to land on tails 7 times in a row.. good luck, but NC soft would try and have us believe that THAT is representative of the above. When I confronted NC Soft customer service about this they had the following to say: "crafting God Accessories like the Pa'agrio's Earring are intended to be a challenging task as these items can greatly help on your character's progress. We didn't locate any issues or errors on the crafting system of the game." So if there aren't any issues and 0.78% is an acceptable rate then the Probability that is shown to players is incorrect, in other wards, NC Soft is lying about its probabilities and when pressed on the issue refuses to tell the players what the real rate is: "While it does show that successfully crafting a Pa'agrio's Earring-Stage 1 is 'High', it doesn't show the percentage. Unfortunately, Game Support is unable to provide this information as we are not part of the Development Process" So Support is telling its player base that it is "working as intended" yet they do not have access to the success rates to check and see if 0.78% is the correct success rate. This further illustrates that support is not actually doing anything to support the player base what so ever. Please Petition this and push NC Soft to give us % like they do in other country's and stop with these false probabilities.

The PK System will be restructured and the PK count will be reset to zero for all players during the 6/3 maintenance. Karma will NOT be reset. PK Penalty Debuffs New debuffs have been added as penalties for players with a PK count of 4 and higher. PK Count Debuff Name Duration Effect 4 Einhasad's Observation Lv. 1 30 Minutes P. Def./M. Def. -5%, Speed -5. 6 Einhasad's Observation Lv. 2 1 Hour P. Def./M. Def. -10%, Speed -10. 8 Einhasad's Observation Lv. 3 2 Hours P. Def./M. Def. -15%, Speed -30. 10+ Einhasad's Observation Lv. 4 3 Hours P. Def./M. Def. -30%, Speed -35. 10+ Einhasad's Shackles 3 Hours Applies to players with 10 PKs or higher and Negative Karma. Location will be exposed on the world map and you cannot use escape skills/items or perform normal teleport functions. The debuff is applied for the entire duration as soon as your character reaches the PK count threshold and it will not be removed even if the PK count is lowered. PK Scroll Changes The Scroll: PK that is used to remove PK count from your character will be limited to one use per day regardless of the type used. There is a shared 24-hour global cooldown for all PK Scrolls. The maximum number of PKs that can be removed per day is 13. Using a Top-grade PK Scroll removes 10 PK and completing the Brothers Bound in Chains quest can remove up to 3 PKs at random. PK Location Tracking The locations of characters with the Einhasad’s Shackles debuff (10 PKs and Negative Karma) will be displayed on the World Map. Washing away the Negative Karma will not remove you from the World Map as you need to wait until the Einhasad’s Shackles debuff has ended. The number of the PKers whose locations are shown on the map is limited up to 30 players. PKers will not be shown on the world map if they've just logged in or are playing in instanced zones or world instanced zones. If you are the target character, then your icon will not be displayed on the world map. Additional Notes: The Einhasad’s Shackles debuff does not apply if you are in possession of a Cursed Sword. If you obtain a Cursed Sword while under a PK penalty debuff, then the debuff will be removed. The removal of the PK item drop penalty is still in place and has not changed.

Hello All, The Live servers are experiencing login queues since we have reached max server capacity on both Chronos and Naia. Therefore, character creation will be temporarily disabled on 4/10 and will be enabled again after the maintenance on 4/15. Thank you for your patience!

@Juji Why this imbalance soo great ???? Top players (20 per server) are making 20-24b per day in isle of souls - stronghold and the rest ??? They are buying everthing to box characters... breaking market, prices rising A LOT. example: +7 elmore legendary cloak: before = 15b After: 30-35b +10 elmore legendary cloak: before = 25b After: 70-100b +15 elmore legendary cloak: before = 75-120b After: 250-380b don't you think about doing anything about it??? 20 players = 20-24b per day the rest: 50-300kk per day (what chance they have to buy something?) what balance is that??????

Scammers There are unfortunately unsavory individuals looking to make a quick Adena by gaining your trust or by misrepresenting what they are trying to sell or buy. The best way not to get scammed is to be extremely careful. Take an extra look before pressing okay, and be aware of the potential risks you’re taking on. Be wary of any character who asks to talk about a trade outside of game (Via Facebook, Discord, Skype..etc), as they maybe trying to gain personal information or hide their true intentions from our in-game logs. Our Support team will not be able to help you restore items lost as a result of a scam. Bots There are some individuals trying to game our system for personal gain and profit. We do not support any kind of automated gameplay in our game, and any accounts found doing so will be closed. Our team closes numerous accounts daily for illegal third-party usage, and will continue to do so. We have an in-game system that allows you to report cheaters and automated gameplay. You report them using the ‘Report Auto Hunting’ action button. Only use this system to report characters you think are being suspicious – abusing this system may result in actions being taken against your account. You can also report illegal automated gameplay through our Support system, and if you chose to do that, please clearly indicate what you’re seeing and the offenders’ names. Please include screenshots if possible. Adena Sellers Unfortunately, the same individuals who exploit our system with illegal automated play are also trying to make a quick buck at your expense by illegally selling you Adena. We handle these accounts the same way we handle illegal automated gameplay—by closing the accounts as soon as we discover the activity. While it might not be the account that has been spamming you, we close accounts daily and will continue to close them. You can report Adena Sellers through our in-game system by right-clicking their name in chat and select ‘Block Adena Sales’. You can also report illegal automated gameplay through our Support system, and if you chose to do that, please clearly indicate what you’re seeing and the offenders’ names. Do not buy Adena from Adena Sellers as that supports these illegal activities along with putting your own account at risk. We understand that seeing this type of behavior from other players can lead to a frustrating experience. We are continuing to mitigate the impact of these types of activities as we continue to improve our detection methods and use the information provided from the reports that come in from our players. If your account has been closed, please contact Customer Support.

I would love to give you feedback about hunting zones but I can't. I am summoner.

The PK System will be updated during a future update with the following changes: The item drop and destruction penalty will be ENABLED again for chaotic characters. Characters with a PK Count of 4 or higher can drop items or lose them if they die while chaotic. Fixed an issue where players could intentionally grief auto-hunting players into chaotic status to force them to drop items. Please also refer to the 6/3 PK System Changes if you missed out on the new system details. *An issue was found during testing that has prevented us from moving forward with the 6/24 date. We will only deploy the item drop changes once Dev has provided a full fix for the griefing issue.

One of my clannies just found it. They just gave us an event they had in storage lol https://www.lineage2.com/en-us/news/the-dragon-weapons-of-gratitude-event

I am writing this post in hopes to begin a discussion regarding why so many people are rerolling from mage to mele classes in classic NA. Lately there have been immense amounts of mages rerolling to mele because they feel it is the only way to play sustainably on classic at the moment. This is entirely true from my view. I run in a mage CP and we hunt lair of Antharas. Just our hunting cost per week in shots, ore and other misc supplies for buffs/skills is over 300kk adena and Loa only provides around 20% of that expense. This ratio seems to be consistent with other mages i talk with in game. In comparison, a mele party in toi will profit many times more than what they spend per week. (i dont have any expamples for mele but i hope someone else can provide) Another issue that stems from the lack of adena in mage zones is that they are forced to farm with toons in lowbie areas and compete heavily in those areas. This CRIPPLES the progression for new players joining the server and impacts long term community growth. I am grateful for the toi update that gives the game more class diversity and opportunity for mele classes to level but at this point it is so much more beneficial to exclusively be a mele class and hunt there that anyone who enjoys mage class feels forced to turn into mele class. For the reasons stated above i urge Devs to address these issues to ensure class diversification and the growth our our community. Thank you

And those of us that are lower than 110 keep getting kicked under the bus! So damn sad. We need help too!

You take down my posts and censor players now? Nice work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBnazBMrldY https://www.youtube.com/c/Clobberstomped/community CENSORED by NCWest! You cannot censor me. All the information is on my channel for all to see the truth about your company and now it operates. I have literally done nothing wrong and only pointed out your own faults. The truth hurts doesn't it?

I think we should have all jumps and my teleports disabled at sieges like the old days. This would prevent players from using exploits or using one party to jump around to every castle within 1 min to gank attackers. This would require better planning and coordination for planned attacks and improve the gaming experience for all players.

Hi, I would like to bring to notice an unfair/exploited advantage top geared players have, the logoff with full skills and login back after the cooldown of old skills have elapsed, meaning they can use their top Ultimative skills from self class + support class 2 times, making them indestructible and with an insane amount of damage for too long period of time brining to not logged off people a grate disadvantage in PvP and in PvE. Best example is during Raid Bosses if a group of players gather to kill a Raid Boss (that u can’t take loot by cc), they make cc, they bring everyone to enjoy the time, play together as clan/ally/friends in a command channel they do most of the Raid Bosses HP by themselves, imagine then one top geared player that was logged off with full skills(as mentioned above) and logs in and deals the last hit to that Raid Boss, he will take all the dropped items. How you find it fair for the 14/21 etc players? That gathered there and put the effort into also killing the raid and share between everyone, not to a single player, to just lose everything because of that one hit the top geared that was logged off did, he just needs to cast a silence on all players and pew-pew the raid and is all his, and everything the others did was for nothing. As you might have noticed this trick is not used by under geared players, only by top geared, disbalancing the game because the 2x time skills used making them indestructible can easily evaporate everyone around them. My proposition is make the skill after being opened have same logic as runes, the moment you open, even if you logoff, the skill will decrease its cooldown. At least like that you give to other players a chance against the over-the-top players the game is facing with. Skills with cooldown more than 10 min after log in to the game should disappear: Archer Instinct / Power of Abundance / Battle Rhapsody / La Vie En Rose’s Enegy (brooch rhapsody) / Dragon Rage / Savage / Einhasad’s Wrath / Wrath of Elmore / Wrath of Aden / Heroic Berserker / Heroic Valor / Soul’s Insanity Zarich & Akamanah / Enables the Dignity / Final Ulltimate Escape / Protection of Faith / Spirit of Ferios.

Hi, I just wanted to add some things you can do to make adenas and exp. 1. have you tried fishing, when your not leveling set your chars to fish, in 1 hour u should be able to get 2 power fish each char. remember you can log 3 chars per computer, 4 power fish you can trade for 3 elcyum powder. you can sell them on AH or save them for weapon upgrade. 2. Do coal mine timed instance (101-105) every day you should get the most exp there. 2b. Do Storm isle, even if you do a small area with 4-6 mobs the adena drops are far superior than other places for 1 hour 2c. If you need adena GOTO Plunderous Plains EXP is BAD but adena drops is good. 3.Always do primeval island as you can get enchant scrolls to sell for a profit. 4. NEVER Enchant anything other then your skills. normally you would try to enchant your skills to +6 then use Mastery enchants to get it to +10, if your doing another way STOP its not worth all the fails. 5. Join a clan make some friends play together you will be able to do alot more content. 6. Do not do Baylor its a wast of time, people do baylor instance only stay in that instance less then 10 min, if it takes you a long time to do the instance, its not worth while. the time in the instance can be better used farming adena or fishing. 7. ALWAYS do the Solo Instance to get your FREE daily Buff Supplies , less than 15min per day its worth the time 8. Please remember the people you see that can 1 -2 shoot mobs spent alot of money to get to where they are, or play nearly 24/7. You cannot compete with those people, pace yourself in little upgrades and you will enjoy the game more. i think that is all i can think of now, if others have other ideas please comment

The Auto Loop Macro system was removed for Classic in all regions. The skill shortcut bar has replaced the functions of the macro loop except for the delay. I am going to discuss with the Dev team tonight on whether they can re-implement the macro functions or provide something more beneficial for the support classes (buffers).

Hello All, I have been reading all of your replies in this thread and looking into different options with the current 15th Anniversary event. The dev team requested that we quickly remove the cake raid event to prevent further instability and abuse on the Classic Servers. I tried spawning the Fioti NPC manually today, but there was no message prompt for claiming a reward or the instant XP/SP. The Fioti NPC seems to be directly tied to your character's participation in the Cake Raid. I will ask the Dev team if they can adjust the raid without the top rewards, while only granting the XP/SP. In the meantime, we plan to add a compensation pack to the store next week. Apologies again for these recent changes to the event! Best Regards, Juji

However, the details won't be shared now since we are still working on the best way of getting it out to you. Once I have more information, I will update this topic. Thank you for your continued support. Best Regards, Hermes EDIT: Additional compensation announced here.

Hello Everyone, Hermes here. I may have already talked to some of you in-game during the 18th Anniversary GM Buffs. And wow, 18 years! Long live L2! As you may know, last week, Juji announced that he was leaving NCSOFT to pursue new adventures in his career. I'm sure Juji will do great anywhere he goes, and I wish him the best in his new endeavor. Upon Juji's departure, I was honored with the trust to carry on with his duties for Lineage II. I have recently joined NCSOFT and have been dedicating great effort to understanding the community's wishes, needs, and desires. I will be doing my best to voice the community feedback and bridge the gap between the community and development. I also want to point out that game development has many moving parts, which can take time to adjust, but know that I have the best intentions, and constructive feedback will always be welcomed and considered. That is it, folks! I look forward to working with such a fantastic game, team, and community as Lineage II. Best Regards, Hermes PS. No, you won't get my picture. I'm well aware of what would happen if I shared one.

Hi everyone, the team has been reading through your concerns and your valuable feedback here. They're currently in the process of re-evaluating the promotion, and we hope to get back to you with more details soon. Thanks!

@Juji @Sunshine hear this. The PK system here is horrible and abusive and does not really make any sense.
