A serious problem for servers is the lack of new players
New updates come and come, but:
Dethron for players 115+
New hunting zones for 120+ players
Still no daily dungeons for players 105+
At level 110, it is still impossible for most players to get the Great Rune anywhere.
What result do we have? There are no new players on the servers
In my first clan, a one player has been playing for 1 years and cannot reach level 110, and in my second clan new players come and ask “how can I get level 115? I have to play for 5 years”? They playing for a one month, they play second month, and after they leave, and I again have an empty clan.
For some reason unknown to me, the Administration does not want to hear from its players about this problem
The topic of the absence of Greater Runes on the server has already been raised 1000 times
I myself don’t have on main character and don’t have on the boxes, so I play without these skills

Don’t need to think here, just need to know where the error is, the error can be both inside the game and on the forum, you consider yourself a very important know-it-all but you can’t even answer a simple question
just a p-u-k and no-th-ing

on the topic of unclear descriptions, the event says that you can get the top watermelon at level 107 and above, while the ingame item says level 110 and above (or at the npc), you did not see people post about it, they figured it out.
I do not demand anything, I asked a simple question
And then his Majesty the forum clever and know-it-all got in
From his, oh horror, I heard demagoguery and not an answer to a specific question
22 hours ago, Connex said:im pretty sure you can figure it without having to make a new thread about it...
I am a simple person, but I do not suffer from a lack of elementary logic.
From the postulates of elementary logic, I can accurately conclude that the error is EITHER on the forum OR in the game inside
And I expected a response from a person with the level competence of a game master
But how could I forget an important person like you with intergalactic level competence
Maybe you will descend to us mere mortals and will not speak in riddles, but just tell me where is the mistake?
Preferably with evidence or with a link to the game master's post
this link says that Fire with Fire Shark Outfit Appearance Stone costs 500,000,000
https://www.lineage2.com/en-us/news/watermelon-event-2023
but in the game itself it costs 1,500,000,000
so how much does it cost?
One day a year there will be an event called "Madness"
If someone kills in PK another player in during the event, then a drop can from this player (except for augmented and non-droppable items) with a 1 % chance
But if someone kills this red PK then things will drop from it with a 10 % chance (except for augmented and non-droppable items)
I absolutely do not understand the policy pursued by NCsoft
If they respect their players, is it really so difficult to explain to everyone why there is such a shortage of Greater Rune stones on the servers ?, because the administration can change situation very easily by simply adjusting the drop rate. But stubbornly does not.
Or If Game Master consider it ok, that 90% of players play without these skills 110 lv ?, then at least they will comment on this in order to clarify the situation.
I am surprised by the silence of NCsoft on this matter.

Black coupon + Greater rune stone

There is no progress without ncoin, you can avoid paying prestige till 110, but you will need to get your adena somehow and pounding mobs all day long for 0.1% a day seems painfull... ( although this is not Ncoin per say.. its money towards the game)
Quite right, it’s simply impossible to play without runes of experience now
I only vote for making them more accessible to new players. This will be essentially a subscription fee. All players will buy them.

There was a lot of illegal server with tons of people but official (retail) server was another history. No bug, no server wipe ecc.
The point is, NCWest need to make game rentable to justify it`s investiment and some how need to make money on it.
If Lineage 2 becames real F2P w/o any kind of pay to win, gumble ecc there is no point to keep the game (business side)
In the past the game profit was incoming only by subscriptions so my idea is to come back the subscription model and plus pay to win formula.
The point to start to play until 115 is to realize if like the game or not. If like, than have to pay.Dunno another way to make L2 real free to play and make its rentable for Nc
This server is free since 2014, it's too late to change
On this server, 30% of the players have never bought Nkoin at all.
Someone does not have money, someone does not have the ability to pay (not everyone has a Mastercard and Visa), someone is sorry to pay
With the introduction of a subscription fee, 30% will go away and NO ONE will come. This will be the final nail in the coffin. The server will just die
But to make the L 2 store more diverse and more accessible, I vote for it. For example, put experience runes 7 hours, experience runes 7 days, experience runes (85 -115 lvl) Great Rune stone, etc.

1 – Make this game free to play until level 110/115 and then need a subscription to go on.
And what's the point of starting to play on a server if you know that at level 115 it will become paid ?, if there are many servers on which you can play 100% for free
With this approach, we will lose all new players
I don't understand why the GM community has raised the bar so high for the Great Rune today?
This rune is needed by players already at level 110 and needs at least 3 runes on a main character and 3 runes on a support character
Why is crafting limited to only 5 runes with such a small chance of 1% and also need crafting items that can only be obtained in the L2 store?
On the server you need to pour not 5 not 50 runes, but 5000 runes to saturate it
@Hermes , please listen to what the folk write to you on the forum
I critically support. At the moment, the Great Runes are ABSOLUTELY absent on the Naia server. Even at the space price of 150 bil they are not in the trading post
Of all the problems today, this is the most actual problem in the game.
2 hours ago, SoniaTrevi said:you have to accept that this game is not attractive anymore
and the problem is that if they now make things easier for the new players, it is by slapping the old players who have been cultivating and striving for years
they have to find a balance to please everyone and that will never happen
The p2w model does work if you set reasonable drop rates on payout events... but that's not the case in our area
This game only works in Korea and Japan in the other territories it is in decline
I have an account in l2core and it's just as dead as here, the difference is that there are more articles there thanks to the einhased store... and the events have more drops and percentages than here
but the times of mmorpg where you have to dedicate more than 4 hours a day are dead and most of the players want everything immediately and the culture of effort has passed
we all want to progress and be top but you have to be realistic this is a game of much much much money
and you have to have exclusive dedication if you want to be self-sufficient
I consider myself an old player since 2014, I played here
And I think I will win, if it is easy for new players to start playing here. I will know that this server has a future. All players, old and new, will benefit if online is big.
Can just say "the game is dead", or we can not surrender and make this game better together. I already see how in the game many high levels help the little ones for free.
There is always a way to solve a proolem, you just need to see it and have the desire to do something.
New hunting zone - Moon. You will need a space suit to visit the moon.
And instead of recharged stone, you will have to buy oxygen for space suit
re-introduce raid bosses 105+
In my opinion, the situation on the server is very deplorable, the on-line players is very low
Players 110+ cannot learn skills as there are no Great Runes in the game or are they expensive
Players 105+ can't progress because they don't have their own dailies
I think this game should be made attractive to new players, so that they would have an interest in the game, so that new players would have a chance to catch up with the old ones:
1. We need to introduce new instances with rewards
2. Need to add new quests
3. Need to more thoughtfully diversify l2 store
If we do not do something now, then in 2 years we will get an empty server on which 20 top players will play with their boxes
PS: The path of merging servers, as history has shown, turned out to be erroneous, merging gave online growth for a short period of time, and now there is nothing to merge

Farming at level 110?
Or pumping a character to level 116 -117 for 1-2 years without these skills ?
Even a duck understands that this piece of the game is not balanced
The Great Rune is neither Lindvior's Earring nor Kain's Necklace nor the Dragon Weapon to need buy for $100
The Greater Rune is just a rune for learning a skill already at level 110 and it should be AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY and at least 1 G rune should be a free reward from a clan quest, like the usual runes
No need to create a hype here from the flaws of this game
I am strongly opposed to changing the Naia time
1. GMT +1 is European time, convenient for players from Europe
2. Have you forgotten that Naia is not only Naia, but also Freya with whom she was united ?, and who remembers the time on Freya? GMT - 1
Look for other ways to solve the problem, time changes are not the only way
7 minutes ago, PimpMyBow said:Look, I'm just saying what's the point of increased player base levels if most of them can't even complete 105 dailys, so...
so i answered your question
Raise the level in order to FULFILL including daily 105
It's like one of the options.
1 hour ago, Connex said:people only see the top items and think that is a far fecthed dream but there are plenty of items that can be used to gear a DD that dont require trillions, just need to be smart about it and select the right class.
Now as far as pvp goes, you cannot just start the game ( or come back after a 4 year break) and expect to compete with people that have been playing non stop for the past 6-7 years or with people that can farm 150-200bil a month
If you were "smart", then you were not in this game, you are smart duck our
As for "compete with people", that's just on THIS SERVER it's quite possible, and it all depends on the credit card. And earning 150-200 billion in mounth even for a novice player BUT WHICH KNOWING this game is not a problem.
16 hours ago, PimpMyBow said:And with what equipment you will participate in sieges, raid bosses, etc?
Not all classes require expensive super expensive gear 2-3 trillion like a damage dealer
There are healer and buffer classes that need 300 billion to equip
Light souls / flowers DT
in General Live Discussion
Posted
@GM_EVA, guys
Yes, bots in DT are a problem, I agree, but there is another way to deal with them, the way is very simple
It is necessary to respawn these souls not at the certain time, but at a random time. And this will solve the problem of bots, they will not be able to guess when a soul or flower will be reborn
PS :But no need completely remove these souls because these are the only mobs on which players 110+ can gain experience in Dethrone
