I agree! We got Pin-code, so it's not like anyone can just get in.

nothing we don't know... you are right about everything. however, some of us don't want to see the game die - we want it to live forever so our investment doesn't go to waste.

event is easy for me as lv.106 archer fully geared to the eye balls, 22mins, twice in 45mins. on a lv.104 DD toon, it was a pain, I didn't even try... but imagine double the time 40-45mins, which is too slow for me. i just do it on a dd main, it wasn't too bad. truth be told, even at lv.106 @ 42%, i'm only ranked 460... that means... there are 459 people higher level than me... Last week, there were no lv.112 - today there is 1. Last week, there were only 2 people with lv.111+, today there are 7. There server 200% event is meant for the low end people to quicklly get up to par to do the golden compass event In 2 weeks, I took a group of 5 secondary XP group Lv.101 to today, already Lv.105 in just 14 days. If you don't know how to macro, learn it and do it. Don't be holier than thou attitude and be left behind. I didn't spend a dime on them, just using the free server freebies Runes and stuff. Even the now 7-day 200% runes, I saved from couple of months back, it was free as well. Lineage2 game is considered by all intentions and purposes, the very definition of HARD CORE. World of Warcraft is for kids, kindergarden. Lineage2 is like Harvard University, stop your whining and get with the program. Seriously, money or brains, no excuses and no whining allowed. However, I am always a champion of PVP diversification so at every level, you can enjoy PVP... so this is where I criticize NCsoft and this is not whining, this is a fact. To enjoy PVP shouldn't ever be at the top level only - this is a waste of hard work by the developers on pvp game mechanics... if majority of the server people 99% cannot enjoy PVP.... there should be PVP or Olympiad that group levels - instead of forcing everyone to fight for the best gears. For this one thing, I will criticize NC and I will stand by these principles. But I'm sure I won't be heard as Lineage 2 Mobile is coming, all hands on deck for these Korean executives to storm the mobile industry. But I'm proud for 15 years, these programming codes will be resused and live nearly forever in cyberspace. For that i'm proud.

Many items in NCstore has no restrictions - meaning, you can sell it in Giran for adena.

the defacto Lineage2 marketing always and forever will always use LIGHT ELF FEMALE as it's central iconic signature video marketing I am very proud of NC for sticking and being consistent, that separate themselves from the cartoony... World of Warcraft

new launcher is way better... if you allow 7 clients, why not remember 7 username? I vote to remember 7 user names instead of 5, to match the maximum allowed

I hope you get your jewels back. In my experience in the 15 years I played, every time I thought server is at fault, it was my fault. But if it is truly server''s fault, then definitively keep trying. Reason this is rare is because, there should be a confirmation network packet received before database commits, either not traded or traded. But even that small possibility, the commit signal may have been the millionth of a second that got lost.

I don't mind permanent Red Libra come to think of it...

I'm traveling on vacation in Singapore so I am close to 10,000 miles away from North America and I tried the Golden Compass 3 times, yes it's not smooth but it's playable. Probably because I'm an archer and I can repeat the 2 main AOE skills kiting. But it's definately not smooth but nothing like some who complained here into the seconds lag. Most lag I experienced is around 400-500ms once every 10 seconds, most felt 250-300ms and that's probably because I'm 10,000 extra miles on the other side of the planet.

No it's not. NC wouldn't upgrade a brand new server if they didn't think this is still a good business. You guys like to hope this game ends because things didn't go your way but just remember, the world has always and forever will be catered to the super rich. Since when in the history of histories has that been any different? The lesson is, don't be poor. In real life or in game. I am not rich by any means but I do ok. Rich is a very relative word because I can be very rich to some but I feel poor looking at others. Where ever your stratum is on the ladder of life, pick and choose your battles that you can win. Repeating the same mantra expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

I heard if you didn't obtained the +3 STAT bracelet upgradable to +4 (STR/INT/DEX/WIT/CON/MEN), you're out of luck with this recent update. Is there a plan to offer alternative method to obtain these for those who re-roll and want to get the same?

lol. alright. yes, i know about the stolen code and lawsuits back many years ago.

Hogwash. I'm talking about porting Lineage2 database of skills and items but I do get your humor on Aion but I am being serious about being able to create cinematic using rich texture mapping of our Lineage2 world.

Good bye. Hope you come back soon. Have a nice day.

Many players has more than 3 characters, do you want them to buy another laptop or PC just because you have 3 or less? That seemed a little unfair and inconsiderate.

TEXAS - i'm surprised that you never use Red Libra? like you don't want XP bonuses or weapon exchange? What a shocker! lol

To GM and NC-developers, Most important asset in my opinion of the current Lineage2 are the database of all the assets owned by active players. Has anyone thought about extending the longevity of the game by porting all the database of all items into a new game interface that is free from the restriction of a nearly 20 year old 3D engine? One has to admit from 1999 to 2019 GPU has come a long long way - so much so, it probably warrant a discussion. With all the money NCsoft has made, would it be possible to give the game a complete facelift so graphics can be totally revamped without destroying the current active player's database of items and gears? Maybe efforts has already been made in the Graphics options for HDR1,2,3, etc. but overall, the 3D engine is still heavily relying on CPU not GPU and there is only so much coding that can be done to a 20 year old 3D engine. How about this serious request? Create a game function, in which a gaming sequence has been recorded and that datafile can be port into a visual raytracing engine that's designed to produce a cinematic graphics based on the viewing camera angle of the 3d recording we currently have in game? Basically, Lineage2 client doesn't change but if we want to show off to friends how cool lineage2 is... we can run the entire video sequence through an updated texture mapping of Light Elfs, Humans, etc. all the weapons, buildings, skys, etc.? I believe this shouldn't be that difficult and it's probably worth the effort since it does not impact gameplay in any way but it offer us an eye candy to what it could be. And this side project of all the texture mapping and more detailed graphics can be re-used in the future should a full port happen one day.

I don't think it's a big issue. Most hero knows if they spam, they'll get blocked so most hero do not spam. If you look at the afk spammers, only a few, just block these few and you'll be fine.

My apologies if there were truly bots still around. I admit i haven't traveled much outside of my normal xp area. So yeah, software should already be in place to detect bot activities - meaning functions that can easily be detected by artificial intelligence software that's now a common place for MMORPG to assist GMs to catch these perpetrators. My opinion in this - having been around for 15 years, there is a sense of fatigue on the part of customer expecting something out of GMs to do anything that's normally a logical thing to expect in other games or services. Lineage2 is just run so differently and I'll tell you only in so many words, be careful of what you accuse the absolute powerful NCsoft, in my days, I have seen accounts rip apart and banned - not unlike you offend a mafia lord in real life. I'm not joking. Hence, I kind of keep minding my own business most of the time. It's a dark reality that I've come to accept. This game has many facets and organically it naturally evolved into a money milking business and those who still participates, willfully do so albeit whining and complaining. So the jist of all is this - everyone has their own goals in life, everyone make their own choices and you can't blame anyone. if you know this game cost money and you keep playing, just make sure your paycheck fits the bill or find another game. I am not kidding you, being very serious about it. Lineage2 has evolved to be THE most expensive game I've ever played in my life - is it worth it? I thought about it deeply lately, yes I think it's worth it for a special kind of experience you can't find elsewhere. Those who stayed know what I'm talking about. But at some point, everyone gets a say, enough is enough. For me, that line hasn't come yet and that may never happen as long as my income and business keep up.

your simplistic inference doesn't help, on a major patch over 200 new variables are introduced, which one do YOU think is the cause of the lag? you think you're more professional than the developers? but nonetheless, thank you though for trying to help.

server queue is a real threat, game population maxing out, gaining popularity by the minute. due to no item drop on pk and no more pk scamming, tons of people are coming back. if you go to enchanted valley, every freaking xp spot is taken... literally, like the good old days... good to see so many playing and active... albeit afk macroing but they're real people... you can tell after server reboots, people logging in and fighting for spots. check out party matching system for history. check out ranking system to see just how many active players there are.

what can we legit macro experts help you with? need help macroing to be part of the family?
