Hi @HermesAnd have a good start on your new position . As others mentioned ,make a good start and push koreans on the above topics : lower store prices (as you should already know yourself Lineage 2 has the worst gaming reputation of the hardest P2W business model in gaming history) add permanent usefull items on human prices synced with 2022 game situation(buffs ,artifacfts, enchant skills books , forgotten books ,enchant/augmenting stones) try reducing events which are introducing new p2w items and help players with more free daily/weekly/monthly items (like free stage 1 dragon weapons ,top jewels) etc try explain them that the korean mentality of players doesn't apply to west community. NA/EU Players mentality and financial capacity is totally different from koreans/asians i would like you to do an exercise which i asked Jason(JuJi) also. Make a new char yourself get a prestige pack , a destiny pack , a rare accesory pack,exalted pack and put an inital ammount on l2 store of 1000$ dollars.Please check yourself what problems you are going to face in the first day you level up and try improve your gear and xp .(no items on market ,no way to find basic items,prices , no way to farm adena ). Then calculate how much money you need to spend in $ in Giran and in ncoins to get some decent gear to do any activity in game . You will see that this korean mentality that you need an initial of 4-5k $ usd just to get out of town and do basic instaces, kill some mobs without any reward, will bother you and troubles you a lot and hope you can pass your thoughts and feeling to koreans. check that every second/third maintenance a new p2w item is being introduced . Before you publish any event run a simulation and see yourself .if you want to make the middle option of the new p2w item how much money you need and if you can afford it .Then think if you can handle a second p2w the same month and how many you have to pay accumulated per year(there is already an example happened some days ago with nightmarket coins) every update because korean devs are introducing new p2w items as it is obvious, mobs and p2w players are becoming stronger .if you dont adapt (pay the new p2w items continuously) you have a huge handicap, killing the mobs and of course other players .Run a query on your database and see how much the community is being reduced after every hard p2w event and after every update which mobs are harder to die . try convince them that a cheaper server on basic items and also a supply of items on market which can push people to pve better and have a chance on pvping /olys/siege will push also the revenue on NA For the NC Group. Also it will bring lot of players back and also new players. It's better having 1000 players paying 100$ to get some items than having 10 people paying 1000$ to get 1 item . if they refuse to change pricing policy try proposing a beta period of 6 months with lowered prices so you can show them how it reflects on NA revenue = more profit for the group and make these numbers better. I can give you more feedback if you want from a player playing on Chronos(Ex-Devianne) since 2004* Best Regards ConanTheCimerian

Hi @Juji @Hime Any update on the above issue that can't use black save tickets or any other enchant boost items on jewels ? It should be something stupid on the ui design.

@Juji I want to vouch also for changing time so both eu and na people can play and compete . Solution 1 As an alternative idea;) maybe you can ask devs to split 1 sword at na time and second sword at eu time ,same times as swamp of screams which are twice per day.. Solution 2 Olys time also is acceptable since it is in the middle of na/eu people and na people are already playing at this time since 10 years ,so they shouldn't complain about. Solution 3 is to follow EU Core's logic ,Flood server with dragon claws/bloods so everyone can buy them in Giran many people will get stage2 /bloody weapons and then timezone change will not matter. I would like you to consider checking IP's and see how many EU people are playing and how many NA. The reason i am asking you to do this is to take serious our request for adapting swords time since its something very important for the future of the server and for ncwest's revenue. Since our servers don't have many stage 2/3 weapons ,a weapon which is like stage 2 dw with 30 second ud is game changer and allowing only NA people to farm it is unfair . Server lost already many people (high spenders) because of swords time .You can't accuse EU people playing on NA For 15 years . Swords were added lately and many of us don't want to to lose our toons and friends and go to Core EU just because of timezone. Finally whatever you do i would like to ask you to assign a Live GM for 30 minutes during swords figtht to supervise toons, picking-up swords, targeting,teleporting for script usage @Juji ps* please all leave outside of discussion personal profit , clan wars . personal wars , insults ,attacks,trolling etc It's a general problem for huge population of server .

@Juji We don't need an ingame feature . We need a service from your website or an item on l2store where people will buy it and during maintenance database engineers/gms will run a database script which will create a new character with swapped dual/main .They will just copy the character's configuration for skills enchant,items,quest status etc. You dont need any change to the source-code ,neither to ask nckorea.Same logic as when you transfer character to other server.Is the same script just needs some changes . People vote on the above poll i created .So we can show to Juji and NCWest how many players would pay for that feature. https://fast-poll.com/poll/7e1cafca

@Juji @Hime Can you extend the red libra also for 1 week ? There are many changes to classes (iss ,tyr, tank) you should let players see the new buffs and then be able to change with red libra to whatever class they want .
