We upgraded the server hardware on Classic today, so please let us know if the latency has improved after maintenance is complete.

No.

those exalted armors will sell well.
The full Red Libra merchants are all there with discounted prices from the previous version and the new Stone of Destiny. We also brought back the Rudi dye exchange for this event. If you are thinking of the Red Libra old quests, then those were removed a long time ago.
NPC Restart Maintenance is complete!
2 minutes ago, iHyperlite said:So will areas that aren't those 3 be affected during this time?
Yes, all NPCs will disappear with the restart.
We are starting to receive reports of latency coming back again. I have sent new information to the Dev team to investigate.

Please report latency issues going forward here after the 4/15 server change today.
The servers are now up!

Just now, KingNothing said:Any of these have players in it.
Coal mines is probably the most crowded place in whole l2, with tons of monsters per square and with a very high respawn rate.
These hunting zone changes were done back in 2019.

Will you be testing any of the suggestions the community has indicated such as the disabling of the Greedy Chests and the watchful players thereof and disabling the Ranking System as a test? Any transparency here of some work or troubleshooting steps may help ease the community's mind that NCsoft has been listening and could help restore some faith in some of the player base.

Here is a list of temporary solutions we have tried in the past to address the latency issue on top of other backend optimizations, network adjustments, and hardware upgrades:
Hello All,
We are very aware of the current latency situation on the servers right now and are investigating multiple solutions to address this issue immediately.
More details will be posted shortly!
We are bringing up the servers now!
Hello Everyone,
There will be an unscheduled maintenance to perform a setting adjustment in the backend to help optimize server performance. All Live servers will be unavailable at 4:00 p.m. PDT (12:00 a.m GMT+1). Game servers will be unavailable for 40 minutes.
We are aware of the issue with the latency delays, skill delays, and rubberbanding after the server upgrades today. Our team has verified the Hourly Latency Action Delays were resolved. We are investigating the remaining latency issues now.

Are you on melee class? What server and is it ongoing delays or constant like the melee latency issue?
40 minutes ago, gags said:Did u just make alice event items untradeable?
We are checking with the Dev team why the item properties changed without notice now.
Servers are now up!
Servers are now up! Please let us know if you experience any delays.

Yes, that is correct.
Hello Everyone,
With our AWS migration and server upgrade last week, we have several key latency issues that we have been actively working on resolving.
These latency issues are:
Melee Attack Delays
This issue has seen some improvement, but many are still experiencing this latency especially when the servers are near or at capacity.
Hourly Latency Action Delays
We have traced the action delays experienced every hour to an hourly server back. This backend process is vital to the health of our servers and happens on the hour, every hour. When the process initiates, many game systems including mail, warehouse, item usage, and more are affected for a few moments. We are working on reducing the impact from this process by reducing the resources it uses on the backend as well additional server hardware upgrades. In the meantime, please be conscious of this hourly backend process interrupting game actions at the top of each hour.
Server Capacity Latency
Many of you have reported various latency issues when the server population reaches Heavy or is at Max Capacity with a login queue. These issues range from general in-game action delays, rubber-banding behavior, and unstable game connectivity. We are aiming for the server upgrade to potentially mitigate this issue as well. When the maximum server capacity is reached, there will be a queue but we want to ensure those connected have little to no issues while playing.
Future Compensation
We originally increased the Party Hunting Bonus from +50% to +100% for one week as compensation for the extended AWS migration downtime on April 7. With a few ongoing latency issues, we are still planning to have additional compensation announced at a later date. It is important that we first address the latency issues immediately and assess the total impact afterward.
We are striving to greatly improve the Live server stability and performance with the AWS datacenter, so we can deliver a better gaming experience for all players.
Thank you all for your patience as we make the necessary optimizations and server upgrades to improve Lineage II.
Hello All,
The server CPU and memory were upgraded (2x) after the crash today. We were able to quickly upgrade during the 25+ minutes of server downtime.
We have additional server upgrades planned for 4/14 that cannot be scaled up as fast and require standard game maintenance.
Thank you all for your reports!
We upgraded the server hardware (CPU and Memory) today after both servers crashed, so please continue to post if you experience any additional delays or latency.
