  1. L2 is a game. If you throw in money, more than monthly packs (prestige and/or destiny) which can be named "subscription" for purposes of ease, any extra money you feed into this game, and expect gains is indeed considered gambling, thus the term Casino is correct. I say the term, as in casinos, you have specific chances to win. Here, the chances haven been concealed for so long, that now, we don't even believe them being what they say they are.
  2. You MUST be new to this enchanting game or never enchanted anything with the risk of failure. Accidental enchant can take place when you have like 10 items and instead of clicking one you want, you click the next one. Quite few years ago, there wasn't windows for enchanting and and prompts like "HEY ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT THIS?!?" messages. This worked plain and simple as picking up the scroll and throwing it on top of the item you wanted to enchant. Accidental enchant? picking up the wrong scroll among blessed, normal or giants, heavenly, etc. Accidental enchant? playing with the enchanting button and getting a lag spike or dc ed or w/e other reason. Another accident? Deleting items my mistake, crystalising item by mistake and list goes on and on. But you focus on the enchant fail, not any other types of item loss, which TRUST me there were a lot! And the most common accidental enchant you ask? -Hey, i have spend 10grand on the game and i broke my weapon at +30 while me not feeling good about it. Can you kindly give it back so i continue to spend another 10 grand? -Sure boi, here you go... I hope so the you and the rest of you can understand the it was for these types of item loss that the restoration system was introduced, and not for whiny people wanting to get on top via the safe way. Enchanting is a gamble and it should be treated as such. I wish the restoration only was for item loss and not enchantment failure, and let them complain and cry about it.
  3. I'm going to say something that many don't like to hear it. The restoration system was introduced to help people from accidental failures. People, being greedy and all, took this opportunity and abused it to the point they had to constantly regulate how much and how many restorations they can do. And every single time, greed overcame the need and people found new ways to abuse it all over again. This resulted in people loosing items, as they didn't catch on with the change of rules every time. Until, well well well, GREED AGAIN, started asking nonsense questions like spoiled brats just before they do something naughty... "Hey dad? if i broke my sister's bike in half, will you be mad? -No child, as long as it is an accident.. *proceeds and breaks it* - hehe, dad i broke it, by accident, sorry. -ok son, here is a new one. Same, idiotic in my opinion, question here. "Hey, if i enchant this and i fail, will you give it back to me?" This was a good system to help us recover items that in any other case and year of L2 they wouldn't even discuss with us about restorations if you failed a draconic bow +15--> +16 for example back in the day. And we killed it. So, back to hard pills to swallow, I simply don't understand the frustration of some players that support denies to inform about restorations now...
  4. make a character at your lvl or close by, pke few people, then log with your main and kill him. Do this 5 times, or once a day per 5 days and boom, you got your green name again.
  5. This game is getting further and further out of reach... This is no more a F2P MMORGP, but just and idle clicking page with great graphics and heavy bills to pay. @Wissp, seriously, this is the way to treat the player base? By asking them to pay every time just to stay afloat and be able to compete? This is making our characters obsolete, unless we pay whatever hefty amount you are asking us to do so, whenever you are asking us to do. Please, explain how is this the way to go about respect and hearing the community.
  6. Hello @Wissp and congratulations for the promotion. I really hope this works out for you and you are able to perform as promised here. It wouldn't be appropriate to predetermine your performance in the new role, however we are having low expectations as you can see. Support team has been treating us randomly, with no respect for the rules and for the same case, many times players received different treatment and case resolution. On top of that, in the past months, cases such as https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/25799-lag-disconnection-issue-survey-your-help-is-needed/ just went to the archive, without ANY type of compensation for the people that provided information and were heavily affected for more than 3 weeks, non stop. You need to understand that we do not beg for compensation only to get freebies, but to reinstate the balance and make up for the lost time of gameplay. I will not repeat the issues our fellow players have already stated, but rest assured that we are all anxious with how the game is progressing and we feel cheated from the events, promos and prices. cheers
  7. heh, our website landing page has been stuck on: 2/21/2023|Events Rim Kamaloka Event. (if you get passed the buggy assasin landing page) and yet we keep on dreaming for something new. The way things are, it is probable that big whales will continue playing with the minimum events and updates coming from Korea, and we should be happy that there are people supporting this game so that we can afk and check our phones for our afking macro working or not... I like this game, but it has become quite unforgiving. We used to pvp and pve a lot. Pvp would last some time and classes were balanced. Now there are 1shots and bsoes. Pve was exciting for any drops or stuff that would make our day worth grinding. Now it's afk and zero net worth, only minimal exp. The only good thing we earned was the random boxes which appeared on the map and this was abused to the point people had to remove it... Greedy, greeeeedyyy! tststs cheers
  8. Agree as well. Since these stones are non tradable, an npc could exchange 1vs1 to any other we would like to use. Otherwise it beats the purpose of having them. Also, on the thousands I have opened, I have only gotten 1 Circlet and 1 brooch stone. This is actually a good rate given of what we have witnessed so far. lol
  9. lol, that as a nice leap of mind and train of thought. I made this char back in 2008-10 when i felt that i needed to stash (hide and keep safe) items from my other accounts. Eventually, this became to be my main char. Still feel cheated by NC that turned Fortune seekers, from heavy armor users into daggers...
  10. And what would be the compensation? It would be great to mention here, so that we don't have people getting random things instead of a standard compensation scheme. Will you refund the NCoin, or for every 1 cookie received, you will offer the advertised 11 per 1 ratio?
  11. What about February's monthly gift now? Is that available, or we have to wait another week until you log for the 3 minute time to put the announcement and log out again? cheers.
  12. let me rephrase; "Thanks a lot for not even doing the bare minimum for the community" Rest assured that at some point even the hardcore fanboys will just say enough is enough.
  13. While i fully agree with everyone on how BAD this event is, i urge you to not spend your dollar on this and also demand for INGAME content, not just cheaper claws. They should be incentivizing people to play rather than "set and forget". As soon as I log in, the most exciting thing is my ingame mails from Auction house (which in most cases are spammers for adena sales) and then i really feel like there is nothing i can do. repetative dailies that I solo, and then nothing. If there was some content that we could farm claws, or w/e we actually need, it would be interesting to play.
  14. lf your gear please. Event sucks even more than the last. so Wooohooo me. Send few cheap items and then i will "doyble it and pass to another" hahaha what a joke of update...
  15. because after been ignored that much from admins on forums, there is no point in coming here...regardless, valid until the 31st and not working from the 30th, is still a sign of incompetence in my book. cheers ps if anyone has a better game suggestion let me know.
  16. Exactly the same for me. Invested 90bil on this, got a +15 and 2-3 +13. everything went to dust. Not worth it people, just ignore the events until we have some responces.
  17. Where are January gift codes? It is mentioned that these will be available in the first maintenance of each month. Can't wait to see the "rewards"...
  18. Making mentees is not ingame content that will help you grow your character, just abusing a system meant to help new players. Secondly, what is your purpose with the enchanced duals? Cause with this economy, currently it will cost you more adena in the longrun to make a +12 limited dual, rather than buy one already made up.
  19. Exactly my thoughts too about set it and forget it, until the reset. Even on a pay to win event, spending billions gives quite little back and definitely not worth of your money or time spent. GMs don't even bother about anything. Just remember the lag we endured starting 2 months ago, for a whole month, resulted in just one GM-post, and then forgotten. No compensation, no feedback, nothing. Support, is copy-pasting prewritten text from other games, not even bother to check our problem. Canned replies to everyone and abruptly just closing tickets, ensuring us that they don't even know the game, just the so called rules, working as indented and nothing is broken. Sure, spending 600 billion on this event and not even getting 150 back is the "working as indented", just a ridicule.
  20. I would do it, but 6->7 is not that hard. Might taken me both times about 20-80 crystals. What is almost out of hand, is the 1% of 7->8. I had people saying they got it with 20 crystals and I have myself spend well over 600 and still no luck. That, compared to the dude that got lv 10 with 1.500 crystals it's starting to get out of common understanding. They may post the % chances but no one ensures us that these are indeed as stated. Last but not leasts, idk if anyone else mentioned it but I will. 1% chance means, that as the attempts reach an infinite number (+00), the more propable is to actually get that 1% to work in your favour. What people, and myself as well included, fail to understand is that, this can happen from the 1st attempt or it may never happen, and that's a hard pill to swallow.
  21. I would love to see the stats of the playerbase around the globe, plus the fact that non tangible gifts should't be an issue to be worldwide. However, they are afraid of their own shadow so they can't dwell into each country's policy and law in order to secure themselves from trouble. As I have been doing for the past 16 years, I will still have to ignore every event as such, plus i think that it is a redicule.
  22. I love people prompting others to stop buying Ncoins, however on last even with the Greater Gems, if you could see the attempts and the giveaways of the "limited" gems per server, you would understand that no one will ever care about the average player or the future of this game. There are a bunch of them that pay thousands , since they are addicted gamblers in denial and regular/normal players that just expect with one prestige and one destiny pack, they will compete with the first group. The third group of non-paying players, either have all these items from the past as it was easier to gear up, or just are irrelevant to this equation and non factors. Imagine if L2 was launched as it is today, NO ONE would even think of starting this game that requires monthly rent instalments to be average. Give me an example of a new player, starting now, and how will they even get a r110 NORMAL weapon, in less than year... I will wait. Cheers
  23. also don't forget that if you took the attendance reward before the ëmergency" restart, you would notice that it was for 27 days, not 6 hours only.
  24. @Slycutter I think Sly was a lawer, if i am not mistaken. Would you want to take them up on this mate? I know how chances work, but it SURELY feels that unless you spent enough, you wont get anything. It seems rigged. 10% chance on a damn talisman, should happen when we try 20 times or more. This seems liek the scale is always tilted to the house, and the house always wins. Before 5 years, I made a ticket and complained that I have tried more than 100 times to upgrade a cloak to legendary. They said the looked into it, and that it works as intented. They also said that they saw my attempts and also thought it is bad, so they rewarded me with adena and coins (yea, i was shocked too)
