Man, do research. You clearly don't know what Aden( essence) server is.

you are a very sweet person, do u think that they dont use third party programs to farm adena??? omg, and how they do scripts to move around the cities and spots, or delvl to continue farming in low lvl spots???
this is not the step of right direction because they are affecting the LEGAL PLAYERS, do u understand that??? what means LEGAL PLAYERS???
im a player like u that want a good game and enjoy it, but right now they are attacking the wrong players, meanwhile adena farmers, high lvl botters are still in game doing whatever they want, or for example why in the servers we have players lvl 93+ and gms dont do anything, do u think that these players can play 24/7, make macros around a room, and reach that lvls without any third party program. NCSOFT doesnt care.
so dude, we both want a good game. Think what are u trying to say and who was affected by this problem (the adena farmers are laughing at the moment).
They aren't attacking legal players, you botting piece of trash. You don't need VM, parsec, or anything else to play this game. Only reason you need a VM is to load multiple clients to run bot trains on

Word from the top is that Aden will not have a VIP System; that system is exclusive to Classic servers only.
thanks for a fast response. Is there a response on when we will get pricing information?

Will there be a VIP system, and when will we know l2 coin prices? Are you guys able to provide that information, or are you guys still busy trying to figure out how your anti bot feature was already foiled, two hours after maintenance?

Game servers will be down for maintenance beginning Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 4 a.m. PDT / 6 a.m. CDT / 7 a.m. EDT / 1 p.m. GMT+2 and will be unavailable for approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes.
With this maintenance:
- Routine server updates and modifications.
- Anti-BOT security measures will be implemented.
- Lara’s Eventful Day Off will continue for 2 weeks.
- The Marvelous Mermaid Chest promotion in the L2 Store will be available for 3 weeks.
- The Dragon Pendants in the L2 store will no longer be available.
- Summer Sale in the L2 Store will end.
- Fixed an issue where the clan dismiss/leave penalty was set to 1 day instead of 1
And what are these anti bot procedures? Ncwest hasn't done anything to stop scripting, why start now ? Is it because essence servers are opening?

I would like to leave my dissatisfaction with the company and the administrators.
I feel a bit of prejudice towards us Brazilians, you create a Deluxe Pack Giveway, where we who are foreigners cannot participate, this is very unfair to us, because the Brazilian community certainly fills a large part of the server.
Unfortunately I am part of a small group that is passionate about gambling in 2021 but doesn't have the money to invest in the business.
I would be delighted if I had at least the opportunity to compete for the giveway.
It's a North American server, and you're from South America, so what do you expect.

You do know that DKs got the ultimate transform nerfed on this version at least i hope it's not up 24/7 it's only active above 1k DP, but this is NCWest so they'll probably put in DP pots 100 dp for 100 Lcoin in cash shop to milk more.
Not even sure the DK information is legit. Looks like a copy and paste from live

I do live from various MMORPG content but my main focus on the channel is lineage 2 Official no matter which region, I'm always showing news from Korea to NA, I started with lineage 2 classic NA and turned to Lineage 2 Essence Europe by the company 4games that right now I'm showing the news of the ADEN server because I'll be migrating to NCWest. One of the points of my channel on ( Twitch.TV - https://www.twitch.tv/zefelplay ), it shows updating, clearing doubts, tips, for the South American public and yes I am
Brazilian but of course, I have some people who follow the channel that they are North American and Russian that I always talk to them passing all the information like the others. I have been performing this role for 3 years.
I would like to know if you have any kind of partnership system, for the channel that is starting and for the channel that already has its audience?
this empowers the community more and how the dissemination of the served.
Thank you very much for your attention and welcome Sunshine.
I'm sure there won't be. Remember when classic was released on steam, and it had almost 1k reviews after 2 days, with 98% negative reviews, then was removed from steam. Showing the actual game play and how p2w this game is, is not in ncwest best interest. Milking the same 100 players over and over, is all ncwest needs to do.

why kamael? what is the gist of that situation?
Because Kamel archers are the top adena farmers. They don't need much gear, and you just set them afk and farm the adena. Of course, the only reason for the 10 client limit is to help botters, bot adena, which is something this company supports its players in doing

I would like to know what you think about the 3v3 olympiad?
In my opinion the olympiad is totally random for average player. I think the olympiad purpose is to choose best fighter of each class, but if character with 60lvl has more points (due to random teams) than 80lvl char, something is wrong. A team which has more OP chars wins. If you get 3 randoms in the team and opponents will have 2 randoms and 1 strong char it's just 1v3. And many people get hero just by participating olympiad, without even hitting opponents.
I think the olympiad should back to traditional 1v1 mode. You still be not able to compete with strongest ppl but, it is more fair play if each earned point is your effort.
Olympiad change, another horrible mistake by ncsoft. Random party members, random level buff from npc, a total disaster.

Hey! Thanks for being open and sharing the information
How does the self-buff mechanism work? Does every DD has basic buffs, and dedicated buffers have stronger ones? What about dances/songs?Everyone gets the same buffs. Songs and dances used to be for bd and sws only, but now they are party buffs.

Does everyone know with this version of game, the only way to get 100% rez after death is to pay real life money?

#1. PRICING
Pricing is, by far, the biggest reason why the population of the EU servers quickly died and resulted in multiple server merges. The main premium currency box, known as an L8000 on EU, is priced at $25. One of those boxes is basically worthless, because it requires dozens of them to really obtain anything of value. This is due to the very low enchant rates, lootbox rates, and special craft rates.
You simply have to drop huge amounts of money to get a single good item you need, and when you factor in the sheer amount of different p2w items in the game now, it is easy to see why it costs well into the 5 figures to obtain all the items you need in order to not just compete, but to actually survive more than 1 hit in PvP.
The fact that premium currency (L2 Coin) will not be dropping from mobs, means that paying money directly is the only feasible way to obtain access to this currency that will be required to create all the p2w items needed. No amount of farming will help you if L2 Coin doesn't drop from mobs. This could possibly still be okay if the prices of L2 Coin are extremely cheap, but I suspect that will not the case at this point. The price of this currency needs to be low, that way most of the players will be able to buy a large amount of it, and not just whales. Failure to have affordable pricing for the general population will kill these servers faster than you can blink, and this is by far the biggest death sentence topic in regards to player retention.
#2. Player Killing (PK) System
The current PK system will, absolutely 100%, result in large numbers of new players quitting this game. There was essentially zero penalty for mass killing of entire zones. EU/RU was forced to implement a small fix because the situation was so out of hand. But basically what is going to happen on these Aden servers, is a small group of players are going to go from zone to zone and PK every single char they come across. Lowbie zones included. This sweeping of zones will not stop, either. Every zone will get PK'd over and over until the players quit. Entire farming zones will literally be completely empty because the moment you teleport in, you will be instantly PK'd, and there's absolutely nothing that you can do about it. There will be people that spend all day PK'ing people, and they cannot be stopped. Even if you try to chase them down and attack them, they can instantly teleport away to safety and you won't even be able to touch them. There is no way to counter it. You will lose.
#3. Class Balance
While class balance comes in at #3, don't underestimate how important this factor is. Class balance in this version, and this patch that is coming to NA, is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. I cannot emphasize enough just how bad the balance here is. Dark Elf Death Knights, along with Titans, will run the show here. Starting with DE DKs, they are incredibly strong in all aspects of the game. They have a pull, they can blow you up in 1v1s, and they can AOE 1 shot entire parties and raids. If a clan here decides to roll mostly DE DKs, they will never lose a single siege. As for Titans, they run faster than you, they are unstoppable, they will keep you knocked down, and you will get immediately killed. There is zero counterplay for you against them. You just die, and there's not a single thing you can ever do about it. If they want you dead, then you are dead. This is due to the fact that they will have Frenzy and Zealot up, both of which last for a full minute and are on extremely short cooldowns, along with Knockdown, which has nearly a 100% land rate. In most cases, they will Rush you, instantly knock you down, and kill you, before the knock down even ends.
Every other class is pretty much irrelevant in this game. Sure, you need healers as well (Cardinal/SE) and even throwing in a few Overlords is nice. SWS/BD will be alts that are simply boxed and will stand and be left at the siege respawn points to buff up the raid before you make a push. But any clan that focuses on rolling only DE DKs, and Titans, will completely dominate the competition to the point that it will be laughable.
CONCLUSION
The PK system and Class Balance won't kill the game. They will severely impact the game, hurting the population badly, but not kill it. However, bad Pricing can and will kill this game. Whatever price you are considering charging for L2 Coin, I strongly urge you to cut that number in half. Even then, it might not be enough. I fully understand the mentality of the mobile game monetization model that is implemented here. I fully understand the aspects of targeting the whales and empowering them through this system. But you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. L2 so far has leaned far too heavily on the side of the whales, at the complete expense of the casuals/free to plays. You need to adjust this dynamic. Both of these players, despite being on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum, need each other in order to survive.
I have seen what can, and will, happen if you do not adjust course before this game launches. The players deserve better than that.
If it costs more than $10 to get 8000 worth of l2 coins, the game will be dead in 3 months

Can you still lose gear when you are red and get killed?
You don't lose gear, it gets locked and you need to pay adena to get it unlocked. Its such a little amount of adena, it doesn't deter pk. I got gear locked while red, cost me like 70k adena to get it unlocked. It's a useless system

yeah try that when the top 30 people can teleport on you for free and one shot you over and over and over again - you can't bsoe, you can't soe, you can't TP anywhere and you just have to die over and over and over again
My point is, everyone will just make sure they are under 33k karma, so the rest of that doesn't matter. This will do nothing to keep people from getting pkd.

@SunshineCan you tell us about what PK penalties we should expect on launch?
About a month ago RU/EU implemented a "regional" PK fix that has not been implemented in Korea. At the maximum PK debuff level you get -30% pdef/mdef and most importantly you cannot teleport AT ALL unless you get your Karma under 33,000 or something like that. Will this be featured here?Do you know how usless this feature is, and how easy it is to pk and stay under 33k karma?

So rather than fixing or improving anything on the live or classic servers, you decide to create a new version of the game?
Another P2W I presume...?
LOL. L2 Essence (Aden) is the main focus of NcSoft. If you look at korean weekly patch notes they mention two server types: Awakening and main (essence). That's right, essence is the main version of L2 now. Has nothing to do with Ncwest creating anything, which they can't. Korea doesn't even push major updates anymore. No one cares about classic, not even devs, get over it.
L2 essence is the very definition of p2w, and you really have no clue just how p2w it will be.

Heya @J0nSnow - I've assisted in a fair number of NC titles. I won't make any promises apart from the fact that I'll be sure to put any issues in front of the people that can make the changes. There's a lot of great features coming with Aden—give it a try when it releases and then go from there.
thanks for the quick responses. I know all about essence, i've played it on multiple servers in EU.
I know you wont mention l2 coin prices, but how many coins will each pack contain? For instance, in EU they are called l8k's, because each pack contains 8k l coins in them. Each pack over there costs $20 EU. Thats the majority of the reason, they have 25 active people across 2 servers (they just had to merge the servers they opened 5 months ago). Pricing is the main reason why. Just something to think about.

This, if Lcoin doesn't drop from mobs(or unless L8K packs are like $1 each there is no reason to play this server unless they don't release any p2w items at the start, then MAYBE there might be some decent pvp at the start of the server until they start adding the boxes. Even then though this version of the game is more pvp vs afk farming characters or just pking everyone, so maybe not.
From my experience on essence bots aren't really an issue since there is a built in bot to farm and spam pots, not saying they don't exist but it seems kind of pointless based on how the game works.
No, you can use them to run back to same spot, can use them to for pvp, chain skills and assist faster than humans can. Doesn't happen in EU, because that company actually catches and bans people.
SLOW XP...

Yeah. A lot of clowns don't realize you can actually play live and get much better results, and want to afk everything just because it's available.
