the problem is, if we say this, like lower the price for ncoin to half, ncsoft will think, then who was buy  ncoin for xyz will buy now half, that not true, they will pay same money even if the ncoin doubled, why? because  you guys add so many thing to upgrading,  still have a lot meat to buy.

the reality is that ncwest took ages to react to rmt and botting problem in its servers..... they added ncoins, they reduced adena drop, excluded items from its drop lists , added macro ( i think that was a nice move to cover botting and not eliminating it) the server lacks of some key mats like star signs, cyrstal of dawns , elcyum. through the years there is a banch of ppl , we all know them, that control the market, they set up event prices, ncoin prices and the flow of mats in the game that the only solution for a healthy game is a reset - which noone really wants- 

i believe making l2 cheaper will fill up the servers, nc will regain respect from grown ups that are the core players of l2 and of course be a fun game for new ppl to join the community 

i respect its a company and needs to make win , but in the case of l2  there is a few players that make a lot more money from game through rmt than ncoins for the company!!!

since you are adding items from game in ncstore, what about adding items from ncstore in game, lets say oly manager and marks ? 

what about the evaluation of items you did in game , giant codex prices are so different at oly managers shop and ncstore...either change ncoins price or oly mark price:/ 

please consider adding adena price in ncstore if you are using ncstore to manipulate the ingame market in such an aggressive way 

[Clan War System]

i totally agree ! 

and if you lay hands on the war system , what about removing the right to declare a ware on a clan that owns a dark castle? they already accept to pvp the whole server by adding tax on the city. noone can play the castle light/darkness settings the way it was meant to , if the darkness clan can declare war to all server  

[Leftover 16th anniversary coins]

Lala , the news informer was supposed to have some more gifts ... but i think they left that option out for this year.

We saw some external network issues outside of the US yesterday when there were mass disconnections from the servers for multiple games. The Live servers have also been at max capacity for the last few months due to the global pandemic and some recent changes to the mentee system, which were adjusted during last week's update. Increasing the server capacity is not an option at this time as we have seen server instability (crashes) when the max capacity has been increased by 100 players. We are working on some alternative methods to help alleviate the queue and latency issues.

incease drop rates, adena drop rates, reduce npc sell price and increase npc buy price, make all items tradeable, at least account share. add all items that exist in game in the mobs drop list! maybe thats your fight against real money trade in the first hand,and for sure the need of running multible boxes for farming will be for sure reduced. and log in the game from time to time, not for 60 mins buffing and log out, move around , talk with players , see who is botting who runs the market and such GM work  the whole market is going crazy people only buy cheap sell for more as a result, there are people with trillions of adena and end game items and people that cant get rune stones for their skills.  

[The Seed Bracelet FIASCO by NCWest]

i also have a question:/ though i doubt that's the right place to post it . 

we had in January the https://www.lineage2.com/news/zodiac-agathion event . many of us grapped the opportunity to gamble once more the not so cheap ncstore exclusive items! 

4 months later we get an update that is turning all those items useless? we managed, after breaking lots of those charms,to get one of our choice that suits our character at best, and the only option we have is to trade it for a random one?? and what can we do with all the rest of the items we paid real money for? why do we only get the option to trade the charm and not all the rest that the event gave us? what should we do with all those charm books of growth that costed real money??
