Dear Grandmaster, I noticed only toons that deal damage get the talisman boxes on the Frozen Timed Zone. Is it suppose to be like that? If it is, then is it most damaged dealt or last hit? #BLM ( Buffers Lives Matter) Also, will we be getting a code for the month of January? Respectfully, HB

Aren't there free starter packs in the L2 Store, like one per account?

Just list everything you got right here in alphabetical order.

You can also get it from doing clan arena or sometimes event boxes.

Just go to random towns and talk to NPCs.

There are places outside of Aden and Goddard you can farm at. Devil's Isle and some Catacombs/Necropolis is also a good one if you can find a room.

Just make a party of 9 orc characters and level them all to 40 and each will get a random spell book. It's faster to get the book that way then to farm it at Sea of Spores.

Just make a party of 9 dark elf characters and level them all to 40 and each will get a random spell book. It's faster to get the book that way then to farm it at Sea of Spores.

Oh great bountiful and beautiful GMs and DEVs, I have an inventory full of Speed Talisman's that I got from the timed-hunting zones and I cannot enchant them, because the Speed Talisman boxes do not come with any scrolls. Can you please make the enchant scrolls available in some form or fashion via - Speed Talisman enchant packages, event boxes, L2 Coin Shop, or mobs drop them please. Happy Holidays and Happy New Years! HB

Dear Santa, When will we receive our new monthly Gift Codes for Christmas? We promise we have been nice all year and avoided being naughty. Please be generous with our gifts, because we all deserve something very nice for being good little players and staying out of trouble. Thank you, Your friends on Classic Server

Can you guys also add "Event NPCs" and "Compensation NPCs" like that silly Angel Cat in Goddard please. Why do we always have to port to Giran to join events or be compensated? That's not compensation! That's called torture! LOL....

ANTHARAS: With the power of P2W invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the demon bride! And as for you CORE, you can get the flock out of here! No one likes you and a Lv. 4 ring from you cost less than 500kk!

HellBride in search of Buffalo Wild Wings in Talking Island Server! Also, SHOUT OUT to our amazing community and all the beautiful ladies who play L2!!!

All your updates do not reflect what the majority of your players want. I was personally hoping for new locations to hunt and adjusted drop rates so we can afford to farm with shots, ores, potions, etc... The game is grossly saturated and people have to kill each other just to have a decent place to hunt. The game is also in a wreck because of all the FARM-BOTS dominating questing areas, as well as favorable hunting spots. And, why don't you bring back the option where we can sell materials back to the NPC shops for adena. Someone told me NC Soft removed that option to limit the farmers, and now all they do is leave all the junk materials on the ground scattered everywhere, which is probably responsible for the poor latency and lag in the game. The horrific amount of P2W items in the game has caused an extreme imbalance in the game. The server seems one-sided to me and a few people control every aspect, event, and content of the game. Also, there is absolutely no competition due to the fact that the majority of players (co-dependent ones) want to win all the time, so they end up joining the winning side, rather than trying to balance the game and fighting against the stronger team. The PK system needs to be revamped because people can avoid Lv. 3 Observatory by working off their karma in a few minutes and go right back to PKing again. Any high level player stacked with P2W items can PK anytime with very little consequence. If challenged by an equally strong player they can simply BSOE! The risk of losing items has the same probability as NC Soft listening to their community (.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%). PLEASE STOP wasting your resources in trying to make new mobile versions of L2, which will most likely be a FAIL in the Americas, and start doing things to improve the original game which has held on to player base for over 21 years! This game has proven time and time again that it CANNOT BE REPLACED and DESERVES to be improved NOT JUST FOR PROFIT, but for the GAME QUALITY for the players who continue to stay LOYAL. We understand that businesses are here to profit, but there has to be a balance! Why don't you make a survey in the community asking from 1-10 how greedy the community believes NC Soft is? I'm sure NC Soft will already know the outcome of that survey! You guys are treating this game like a drug knowing that many of your players are helplessly addicted. If you want to go to Heaven then do something good for your community. Amen... Love the game, but hate the marketing strategy... 1. Lust 2. Gluttony 3. GREED 4. Sloth 5. Wrath 6. Envy 7. Pride

Or even better... Make dwarves useful again and give them a skill that gives you the option to deposit items you pickup straight into your warehouse. How-bow dah cash me ousside!

Great! Please do not compensate us where we have to go to town every time to get a silly buff. Make it automatic without us having to go anywhere to get it, because that is just compounding an inconvenience on top of another inconvenience. Yours Truly, HellBride

Actually I lied. If you press restart, a window should pop up and allow you to select "Item Acquired." Another window should expand and show which toons received L2 Coins, and you guys are absolutely correct that only toons who do damage get the coins. Hope this answers some questions... I love and enjoy this community and I am hopeful that they will listen to us and keep us connected to this amazing game... Respectfully, HellBride

I have not seen one L2 Coin drop in GOB (Garden of Beasts) for weeks now. You sure that the elemental zones are the only places where it isn't dropping? Respectfully, HB

Tell me about it! They create a policy against RMT, but they leave many players no choice with unsustainable adena drop rates and quantity! They increase "chat level requirements" to silence the farmers selling adena, but they keep their business flourishing, because players cannot afford and keep up with the cost of the grind. No one farms at Varka and Ketra, because of how difficult the mobs are along with the terrible drop rates. Adena should drop in elemental zones, because there isn't enough places to farm. It's become so ridiculous, that players in the same clan or alliance are fighting each other for the same hunting areas. The game has evolved into non-stop PKs for hunting spots, and then you have those high level players that run around and just PK (without consequence) other players for no reason at all. New players have no chance to grow and develop their toons and are left at a huge disadvantage and just end up leaving and playing a private server. This version of L2 does not attract enough new players, and when they come they end up quitting because they can't grow. There is a great imbalance in the game right now. Illegal third party software is not enforced, farmer bots all over the place and RMT is rampant, almost everything is P2W, every playable zone is saturated, and like you said you can't earn enough adena to keep up with your grinding. On a good note, the GM's have been very professional and prompt when handling tickets, the community of players have been amazing except for a select few who run around and PK people all day using "Adrenaline" with their full party of support bots, the admins have been very responsive and communicative, and there have been some new updates that have made the game more interesting and appealing (new crafting system, L2 coin shop, revised augments, etc...). I'm just patiently waiting for someone in NC Soft to step up and "sincerely" listen to their players that have been playing this game for more than a decade, and address all of these important issues. -HB

They raised the level to the chat restrictions: The chat restrictions have been updated to the following: General/Whisper - Can chat at level 30 Shout/Market - Can chat at level 40

There is a new crafting system that you can apply your mats and get crafting points. Just read up on it under "News" on the Lineage 2 home page.

You might have combat mode on. It's the sword icon on your auto-hunt interface. Just click it off...

Ok thanks boss..

You can easily farm Garden of Beast just outside of Goddard or the first rooms of Giant's Cave. You can also do Hot Springs and get your dailies done...

It will still give you 30% protection from critical damage.
