  1. Here you go: http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=636407&query=혈맹원&searchType=content (변경 후 means "after the change") This was on September 12, 2018, so we should definitely get this on May 15.
  2. if you look at it from a gameplay point of view, you are certainly right. Then there is the financial aspect. NCWest is generating its revenue by fostering inequality. Fafurion will certainly increase the gap between the Haves and the Have Nots - only very few players will be able to hunt in the new areas, and those few will get there equipment that will put them even more ahead of the majority on the server, who will sooner or later quit in despair. On the other hand, the new Cursed Sword mechanics will lead to a mass quit anyway. After a few weeks only a few dozen top players will be left, and their bots at the Fairy Settlement etc. (the Cursed Swords are only dropped by characters of lvl 95 and above, so Ertheia bots are not a target). But since most of NCWest's revenue is coming from precisely those top players, Juji probably won't notice much of a difference on his spreadsheet. If anything, because of the great reduction in player numbers the servers will run more stable
  3. For Antharas it says 삭제/"completely removed": http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=638995 (point 4 in the [사냥터]/Hunting Grounds section)
  4. It was more an accident. The entrance tunnel to Antharas' Lair has collapsed. So far rescue teams have not yet penetrated to the inner part to verify the well-being or otherwise of the Land Dragon. Possibly Antharas got killed and eaten by Ishika, whom you can reach magically each Wednesday and Thursday
  5. Today there was a major update in Korea, with a new daily one-hour instance on the Isle of Souls that costs an entry fee of 150,000 adena for players of lvl 107~120, with monsters of lvl 112. The duration of the instance can be extended in hourly intervals to a maximum of 6 hours with a Time Recharge Stone. In Antharas' Lair the new Boss Ishika appears twice per week at 22:00, with the spawn area becoming a battle ground like during sieges. Last hit party resp. Command Channel gets the looting rights. Dragon Valley gets upgraded to lvl 119~120, all old monsters there and in Antharas' Lair, including Antharas herself, are being removed. Expand Invetory, Expand Trade etc. are now skills which are learned at lvl 20. The old Expand Inventory that was paid for is being removed, the expended adena is returned to the character. Patch notes: http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=638995
  6. Exactly. You gamble with your SP for more SP (or no SP ): http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/헬바운드#hd96370 Abdullah, on Naia it's daylight at the moment, so I can't check myself. But read Theorn's dialogue screen when he is there. It's explained fairly well.
  7. And in Korea tomorrow all lvl 1~85 quests, including Class Change Quests, will be changed: http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=638953 One week later, on May 2, the Exalted quests will be changed: http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=638955 Stay tuned!
  8. Don't worry. When it's no longer 24/7 but 0.5/7 even the thickest brick will realize that it's more cost-efficient to buy NCoins than paying for the electricity a computer consumes while displaying dead corpses 10 hours per day About the Rules of Conduct you are right. Since as of May deliberate and organised harassment will be politically wanted and built into the system, they should remove the first rule from said Rules. But I guess they need to put that up in order to get the Teen rating and be able to skim off children's pocket money. It will be tacitly understood that the first rule is just there for legal reasons and doesn't really apply. Like with the rule that Europeans are not permitted to participate in contest-like events like "Paint a Lineage 2 Pumpkin for Halloween", which isn't actually applied either.
  9. Actually it will be fixed next month. You may want to read up on the new Cursed Sword mechanics that will be implemented with the Fafurion update: https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/9857-prelude-to-war/?tab=comments#comment-75807 As Juji used to say, you are already dead
  10. Young man, you are jumping to conclusions. NCsoft never said that looped macros are an afk option. On the contrary. If you scroll up a bit in this thread you will see that the administration has been saying since March 2018, i.e. since more than a year, that looped macros are not an afk option. Please wrap your head around that fact that this is NCsoft's game. It is not what you want it to be but what NCsoft says it is. Neutron, Conguero and countless GMs said repeatedly that farming players for drops from involuntary Karma is OK. If this makes you unhappy, just go away and play something else.
  11. That's right. We haven't even gotten the Lineage 2 Assist app, which was introduced in 2015: http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/리니지2+어시스트
  12. Hicc is talking about the birthday gift long-time veterans get being tied to the character and not to the player. If for example somebody played a Scavenger in 2004 but changed to a Doombringer as his new main character in 2008, when the Kamael came out, he can not claim the 15 year loyalty gift on his current main character, only the one for 11 years, even though the person behind the character has been a loyal customer for 15 years, paying a monthly subscription for 7 out of those 15 years.
  13. Yes. When you first log into the game, you get the normal screen; the resolution can be lowered to reduce the data usage of your telephone: http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/예티(Yeti)#hd112780 In the lower right corner you get the normal User Interface, which leads you to your macros. Then you can switch to the Yeti User Interface: There is a keypad function (the keyboard icon in the white circle all the way on the right), which allows you to enter text and adjust your macros.
  14. I totally agree. The main problem is that the game is 15 years old. The routines for the database backup probably stem from Lineage 1, i.e. they were written 20 years ago. You simply can't compare the programming back then to a state-of-the-art smartphone game, not to mention that the game itself is not as simple as it was 15 years ago. In Open Beta there was not even B-Grade around, so backing up the data from the player character server was an easy thing to do. In the meantime we have tons of additional items being introduced: S-Grade, R-Grade, not to mention all the garbage that comes in via the L2Store - Artifacts, Circlets, whatnot. I suspect that in the last Wednesday maintenace they changed the backup routine from writing everything onto the backup drive every half hour to backing up gloves at xx:05, boots at xx:10 etc., which caused the lag spikes in 5 minute intervals. But all that is just band aid. The only thing that could solve the problem would be a complete redesign of the game from zero, i.e. developing a completely new game. Even though lore, quests and the graphic style already exist, that would be an investment which NCsoft is obviously not willing to make. They prefer to work on things like Project TL (formerly called "Lineage Eternal") instead. Whether this is wise or unwise is debatable, but I am sure they have marketing experts in Seoul who have made an informed decision about the long-term prospects of every game in the company's portfolio. The question is, what can Juji on his own, working with the servers he got, do now, with the Anniversary Event starting tomorrow? A birthday is supposed to be a joyous occasion. Lag makes people angry. The best solution would be to cancel Oriana's Lucky Draw and simply give out GM buffs on Fantasy Island on April 28. But I suspect that Coin Boxes will be sold in the L2Store. So this is not an option. The second best solution is to restart the servers at random intervals to get rid of the afk Coin farmers and the player-run afk Coin shops. People not being able to farm Coins by simply logging in would also boost the sale of Coin Boxes from the L2Store. Happiness all around
