it's best to have very low expectations in this 18+ year old game that has been on minimal life support a while now
there's no pvp left worth talking about, just a handful whales that spend a fortune to feel good in a 18+ year old game
so @Hermes when do we get Einhassad store like all other Export regions & Korea ? and when do we get fair pricing like L2 Europe ?
i only see sheeps here and nc soft that ignores players
I should start look for buy a lvl 13 clan on EU server as it's 10x cheaper to go play actively there again then continue here
sharing here as posted elsewhere on this forum

We have some good news. The time extension for the Swift Attack Cookie is confirmed. The removal date was changed from 06/15 to 06/22 (A one-week extension).
This confirmation was just received. I apologize for the delay in the update; it is just that there was nothing new to add until this very moment.
Best Regards,
Hermes
also really give us Einhassad store so those Cookies will never be a forced tied in with loot boxes type of sale again and make the current ones tradeable.
@Hermes as ur active right now, when can we expect the same kind of price cuts as Europe L2 servers ?
https://eu.4gameforum.com/threads/687514/
those are 25.5% and 37.7% price cuts
let's not hide behind the fact NCWest doesn't have an Einhassad store as it's basically the same as L2store on NCWest and something all players have wanted to see changed so we will be the same as all other Export Regions as well in sync with NC Korea.
yeah @Hermes what's up with removing stuff before it's announced end date ? not cool
i like the 2 years later part between the answer and the thank you post

Prices for Crystals of Dawn have dropped
Instead of 5.6 Crystals for the same money (if you trade NC to chests, and then chests to adena (17.5-18b/10 for 720 NC) and, adena back to crystals (2.3-2.4), you get 7.5 crystals. Same goes for other items like chapter ones, so, better to keep draecke away from pricing lol.
u forgot to mention the codex chapter1's which also are slightly cheaper now and prolly a few more items but just cause a handful items got slightly better doesn't mean that justifies what's on the overall is horrible pricing and the cheapest way still remains to ebay adena instead - that can't be a healthy business model for any game don't ya agree ?
@Hermesplz note how in Korea they sell those special event Cookies as a separate item
also they get not 1 or 2 but 5hrs worth of random buff potions out of their loot boxes, note the 10 beers / dragon potions, same for their roses in the follow up reward boxes etc

1. It's still expensive.
2. Items shall be obtainable via game process also.
yes but they fail to address the other big pink elephant in the room (lets call the huge l2store prices the blue elephant ) which I explained in my previous post here about the hyper inflation and how everyone does their item pricing math based on adena / $ - the real one and not the fake l2store driven one hence my request to NC Soft to stop pushing ppl towards rmt as that's 4x cheaper then them
nice reply but you might want to think over the adena inflation issue a bit and how that works through everything else be that dirt cheap adena from black markets or dumb crazy high ncoin to adena ratio's
ironically the ppl that farm hundreds of bils adena a week are also the ones that destroyed the market by either driving up prices purely based of their buying power or the fact they know others do the same so want to maximize profits on any item they sell thus setting unrealistic prices and well other sheep just follow as greed is contagious
it's quite simple classic L2greed meets nc soft incompetence to control the adena generated, brought to you from the ppl that made it possible to farm double spots in places like Isle of Souls and heck even ToI
it's stuff like that which maybe makes the high l2store prices nearly sound reasonable as well everything else is also messed up right ? such thinking is quite depressing & tragic in my book even if it's seemingly the simple truth.
more then 600 unique chars wasted hard earned money on 1$ loot boxes last week on chronos so mindless zombies enough there imho if that counts

let me add another funny tragic tidbit of information:
4 hours ago, Hermes said:Hi folks,
We appreciate everyone stopping by and sharing their opinion regarding the new items added to the L2 Store.
We are following the thread and value everyone's feedback.
Regards,
Hermes
it would be appreciated if NCWest stop promoting rmt with the continuously bad pricing of L2store, here's a reality check:
1 Freya Ice Rose cost ~25Mil @Chronos server
1 Freya Ice Rose cost 4 NCoin aka 5 $cents if bought from L2store
1bil Adena @Chronos server rmt value 50$cents -> 100mil = 5$cents -> 4 Freya Ice Roses for the same price of 1 from L2store when using the current Ncoin pricing
take the hint and lower the L2store prices really.. @Hermespm me if u don't believe these numbers are correct or truthful

which why am not wasting money on such
also who ever from NC Soft team thought 1$ a loot box is acceptable pricing should get the Singapore chewing gum on street treatment
1. it should have been tradeable from the start
2. no timer as it's paid for with $$$ and not some free charity items obtained ingame with no effort
3. not be tied to an overpriced loot box

Thank you for your patience,

i like how u have nothing to say about all the other complaints, looks like ur a good fit with the usual crowd here

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tiedselling.asp
to avoid lawsuits u should also be offering those products separately and not tied to a useless overpriced random low chance loot box
feel free to pass that on to Korea as eventually someone will get annoyed enough to report you guys to the government
there's a reason those are part of Einhassad stores in all other Regions, stop abusing NCWest players and give us Einhassad as well.
Quality Assurance Management which NCWest doesn't have, they just install without checking w/e Korea sends them
it's easier that way as full compliancy lies with Korean export team, if something goes wrong it's their mistake and not the local staff.. ofc for the players that's not very useful..

would be hilarious if that were the case
