Dear @Wissp, all the best on your new path :D.
I confirm the above concerns (and from other threads), and most of them share the same opinion. But not focusing only on the problems with the game itself and its mechanism, let's see the permission to use programs supporting development in the game, which, for example, according to the rules are prohibited. There are cases that you may somehow fight it, however, it kills every Lineage 2 chronicle. There are not many players on the servers, and the use of such programs is much more visible. Why don't you fight it better? This taboo topic is always overlooked or hushed up.
Looking further, and the current P2W policy, it would be worth looking at the current value of the NCoin currency and considering lowering the price, where there would certainly be more recipients who could afford it.
Chronicle of Aden/Essence is a specific release of the game, where starting with the first releases of Lineage2, we have some uniqueness here. Aden has a limited map, the number of spots where not only lvl counts but also the equipment that can be bought to be able to enter such a spot and kill MOBs. Here you additionally allowed to run 10 clients per one computer (other licensed Essence publishers did not make such facilities). It's probably way too much for such a poor offer. A much better idea to consider would be to reduce running clients, and encourage players to support the game as well as return to the servers.
I hope / I wish that everything will go well, and it will improve not only our community.
Once again, All the Best!
Regards,
