TWO Greater Rune stone in the game... TWO..... One for 165 BILLION Adena.. and the other for the low low price of 350 BILLION adena. If you buy boxes and sold the for adena, youre looking at nearly $200 and $400 respectively. Apparently this is ok with NC Soft, that 2 skills for a level 110 character should cost somewhere between $600 and $1,000. Red Libra is dead, no one wants to change classes because they'll be lighting $1k on fire. The worst part @GM_EVA refuses to reply to this or any other thread where thousands of people have asked for feedback. So much for "A new NC America" .. looks like its the same old NC Soft West school of business. Bad decisions, ignore customers and make a game so expensive no one can afford to play it.

I guess they just figure if they keep making posts promising things, that we will all just be dumb enough to think they are doing what they say? When in reality, NOTHING EVER HAPPENS? More posts with false promises... and zero follow through... I mean.. really? Are any of us surprised?

The part no one is talking about is the bots. Bots can bypass the 3 account limit easily. Having the limit only hurts normal players, it doesn't stop the bot train.. woooo woooo!

Typical @Connex poop on everyone and everything he doesn't like or agree with. We used to spoil items, work as a clan to help upgrade people, every little bit and quest ultimately helped others. I can remember MANY days in the Monastery hacking away at angles or in the bowels of Rune. Even the catacombs was super rad. Im not sure why you have to crap on everything everyone says. As I have said over and over, try being on the side of the players for once? Maybe? Or not, whatever. Keep up the toxic troll.

The darkness is fueled by greed, hell bent on destroying the lands and all the hero's had built over the last 19 years

Yup... 200$ for a single digital item for an anniversary event is beyond tone deaf... Especially after all the posts we as a community have been making about prices. It shows just how disconnected they are, or just how much they don't care, which means @Wisp's post about connecting with the community, was just more hot air.

@Wisp +1 for getting things out at a day in advance. -1 for the prices in Red Libra being more than at the NPC, -1 for the collection being $200+ ... common man... two HUNDRED dollars? The game cost 40$ when it was released... Every time you all do this, it just opens that chasm wider and wider between the top 20 players and the other hundreds of players. Try setting prices so EVERYONE will buy one, instead of like 20.

Let's not forget the feedback everyone has LOUDLY provided that says we are tired of ridiculous prices.. and then they go and release an "event" where you need to buy not one.. but FIVE boxes to get the new collection which costs around $200 EACH! @Wisp whoever is running your business, needs to reevaluate before there isn't any business left. Instead of GOUGING people for 200$ EACH, let EVERYONE have a phreaking chance at items, other countries server prices are nowhere NEAR what you do to us, why? Why are the NA servers so unfair? Put these down to 25$ or even 50$ and people will buy them for ALL their toons, not just one. It enables EVERYONE to benefit.. not just the whales... like seriously... What are you all thinking?!!?!?!? Why do you make a game for only 25 people to buy things when you could be getting revenue from hundreds if not thousands.. AND make the game more balanced and fun?

So far, as @Connex seems to be the only person that as reported getting a greater rune stone from the "event" I thought we would do some quick math for those people who only have one or two accounts. Connex has opened over 2300 boxes so far and got one. When your boxes are limited to 19x7= 133 for the entire week per character, that is pretty poor odds of regulars players getting anything. The chance is, 0.0004347826 or %0.04347826 of a chance to get a greater rune. After the entire server has been begging NC Soft West for months, their "Fix" was to give everyone at BEST.. a .04% chance. (note this rate literally gets worse everyday) So in the words of the GREAT David Letterman, let's do a top ten list of List to put that into perspective!!!!!!!!I looked up some LOW chance common things.. you have a better chance of the following happening, that getting a greater rune stone: 10. Being audited by the IRS 9. Being struck by a Meteor (any size, not just a large one) 8. Getting a perfect score on you SAT's 7. Getting your Car Stolen 6. Getting Food poisoning 5. Being accepted to Harvard College 4. Being named Emma or Jacob (not even kidding 1 out of 222 kids) 3. Literally not being able to read, you have a greater chance of being illiterate in the world, that receiving a Greater Rune Stone in Lineage 2. Cracking open a double-yolked egg AND.... the #1 one most ridiculous thing that is more likely to happen to you rather that getting a Greater Rune Stone in lineage 2?!?!?! 1. Your house burning down. WOW, I don't know about you all.. but I am motivated to open some boxes now!!! Fun right? The Game is SO, SO, MUCH FUN like this!!!

No, Chat GPT is actually useful as it answers you when you ask it questions.

Oh and P.S. @Wisp FIX THE PLAYERS SKILLS. We've been asking to fix skills so they land in pvp for close to 4 YEARS. NC Soft west BROKE pvp skils when they introduced god jewelry, which is why Korea and the others don't have the same problems we do.. so FIX THE SKILLS. PVP skills should land and when they don't, it should be a surprise. This would balance the server BIG TIME, because titans and DK's would be able to be locked down by clans, instead of them going 1 versus 12 and winning. It also would make support classes SUPER IMPORTANT AGAIN.

Also, what we DONT need, is NC Soft West reducing the rates, making previous events worse every year. A NORMAL business model would have an event being expensive in the beginning (people pay to be first) and then later on that cost should decrease to ensure the server is balanced. Doesn't have to be the same event, but I think after 4 years, probably a good time to make the above significantly cheaper so normal players can join in on PVP.. after all the ENTIRE focus of Lineage 2 is PVP.

That is the entire business model, show all the great things in a box, then make it near impossible to get any of them! Again, in other countries they don't have this problem because their are laws that prevent it. Them doing it here is them knowing its very poor form, but not caring because there is no law that prevents them from taking advantage.

0 out of 1028 This ridiculous utterly garbage rate could have been avoided by simply making the GRS bound to the player. But, once again, NC West to the rescue with garbage rates, lots of promises and zero deliveries. You want to start somewhere @Wisp start here... basic items NC West has been dangling in front of your players, What's next? you going to remove crafting of soulshots? then put them in loot boxes with a .00000005 % rate? I mean why not?? You taken everything else from us.. why stop now?
