The server name started with an S. I had various characters, but the best answer is OldFart57. Not a very creative name, but what do you expect from an .......?

NVM, I found it.

I summoned my first servotor with my phantom summoner. But, how do I command it to attack?

Somebody, please? FYI, I see that polearms seem to now be referred to as spears. So, do nerfs still apply? Can a spear user reliable hiot more than 2 monsters at a time? Also, I'm beginning to wonder if the silence means that the Frenzy skill for Destroyers / Titans was eliminated.

Ethused, thanks for that reply.

In the 2000s, reds were not allowed in towns. Since I've come back to this game, I've seen a few characters with red names, so I assume they are chaotic. Is this now allowed in towns? Or has something else changed that I'm not aware of?

Now that's a shame. A real shame.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I played this game for a while in the 2000s. In the latter part of that time Polearms (for any race) were severely nerfed. And Frenzy was also severely nerfed. 1) In the case of polearms, the nerfs, as I recall, severely limited the amount of multiple monsters that could be hit at one time. 2) In the case of Frenzy, if health went back over something like 25%, the Frenzy effect went away. Can anybody answer if those 2 nerfs are in L2 Classic?

Wow. Just, really, wow. I appreciate that, I had no idea.

OK, I didn't recall that one debuff after so many years away. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. I doubt I will be doing sieges, so point taken about tanks and about Phantom Summoner. If I have the Phantom Summoner for healing and the Warcryer for buffs, would the Shillien Elder be of any use?

Grid restriction? I've been away from the game for a looooonnnnnggg time, what does this refer to?

What I have in mind, overall, is to form a group of 4 - 5 characters, playing simultaneously, and go through a lot of places that used to basically require groups, back in the 2000s. My main would be Destroyer / Titan. Support might be a BD, maybe a Warcryer/Doomcryer, maybe a summoner that can do dame and help with heals and/or mana, and mayyyybe a classic tank. As far as places, maybe Temple of Eva om up through, say maybe Forge of The Gods or Wall of Argos. And, I need some way to outfit that group as I level them. Hmmmm.

Thanks for all the info. I'm gonna have to think about all this a bit before I decide what to do. But thanks.

Titans are heavy-armor and they can use two-handed weapons, for which they have mastery. Think about the effect of that on shot cost. I can't speak about kamael. I am just coming back to this game, having played it in in the 2000s. Back then, Spell Howler with SE support could also make adena, especially with some of the hunting grounds available in the 60s. But also, back then, adena gain maybe just covered shots and other consumables. It would not and could not cover the cost of gear. I'm not sure what the current state of the game is in that regards.
