How many administrators, GMs, development, time... are needed to come up with something that's actually beneficial and effective for the server? It's February and the ones responsible for the Blackbird/Aden server, have they returned from their end-of-year break yet? Or better yet, from last year's break? Because the year 2022 for Lineage was at least "disruptive", especially in the second half.
And from November 2022 to now, they've been on "auto-pilot" mode, only concerned with giving an alternate name but the same proposal for all "events": "Throw stuff on the server and screw it!" This isn't League of Legends!
Trading outside the server has never been so active and the effects inside the game are just negative! Not to mention the bots! Oh the bots! Before, you could see rows and rows of them all using the same gear, and now they have full gear! The fair and honest economy in the game was already pathetic, now... Item/adena sellers are worried! With the supply of items as it is, they had to lower prices and with no new players to push stocks, they're desperate. I believe over 90% of what was dumped fell and/or was traded outside the game.
Not to mention, half of the top 100 players on Blackbird just switch to Soulhound class and that doesn't even deserve attention? When I was playing on pirate servers, they told me that even the official server wasn't balanced, but I never saw such imbalance even on servers that last only 3 months.
Come on guys, let's work! It's bordering on ridiculous that there are still 2 servers for Aden, the population wasn't that dense to begin with and it's only dropped over the last few months.
I like the server, I liked the version, I liked the community and friends I made here. I just wish the feeling of "abandoned, neglect, disregard, amateurism, greediness" I have towards the administrators would be eradicated. Prove me otherwise.
