Yes change the title to 11 aug.
I was expecting on update
Will have to wait for few months now, while hype will be gone on Aden servers
We won't see any updates/events, so plan is you will have to go play Aden and spend money in Aden

Good idea ,
Like my Burst Casting is enchanted and there is no use for it as Great Burst Casting is always in use (as it has better stats).
We won't see any changes/updates or anything in Live until Aden will die out as all @Juji attention and hype will be on Aden until launch.
They haven't even put any paid event in Live as they want for people to save some money for Aden launch

Got more rice cakes than I will use by the time they will be deleted ,

With this maintenance:
- Routine server updates and modifications.

- GameGuard will be updated to unblock users with Avast anti-virus and Windows 11.
-
Lara’s Eventful Day Off will continue for one final week! The following event items and buffs will be removed from players' inventories next week on August 11:

- Lara’s Elite Gift
- Greater Ruby & Sapphire Lv. 1 Box (30-day)
- Sweet Rice Cakes
- Mentor’s Encouragement Buff
- The Marvelous Mermaid Chest promotion in the L2 Store will continue for 2 weeks.
Well done love this kind of events when you have to do thing to get something
loved smashing pumpkins back in the day with a hammer , watermelons will do also
@Juji Hope to see more these kind of events in future, forum giveaways, fun events, what's happened to you guys?? I don't know what changed but we love IT !!

Nice video! Enjoyed watching it,
Sad that half of the game continent in video is unused or outdated..
-
I would say its not only antibot but people just don't have reason to login they just wait till Wednesday as everyone expects its going to be gamechanger update but usually it isn't,
As even free event was FAIL , with many boxes lost and no compensations, so people just flips all accounts and toons to get boxes so 95% of population sits in towns.
Afc also login problems adds some salt too , random critical errors after some I won't even bother to login to the game for few days as there is nothing exiting to do just a bitcoin mining ehm.. i mean auto farming.. (very exiting gameplay) "sarcasm off"

I didn't get what's your question is?
Yes people gets random DC's so party dies out if support classes gets dc as ISS/Heal or Tank.
Sometimes happens ,
It shouldn't stop you from joining into random parties as some of them lasts for weeks just you might not find one yet , as some of my toons stays in one pt from Wednesday till Wednesday with random players, so you just need to find one which lasts long.

@JujiIt's not just about updates and L2 lore but we never get any "fun" events any longer. I remember the smashing pumpkins event and long ago killing pigs in town with a Salvation bow. Now all we get is more P2W and endless boring afk grinding. There's no sense of community any longer where you would get in a party and have fun and laugh. Guess that's to be expected with "legal" L2 afk botting.
Agree with that as now you join party and only party lead is active for 5mins to say hello and goes afk again ,
Actually even thoe with AFK macros u can get chat within dailes which last 20mins max ,
I don't mind afk grinding, but I missed things were you have to group to do some quest , like stakato quest for materialias in Gracia Kamael (or patches before)
Quests to kill raid bosses as it used to be in High Five to get a weapon ,
Plus like now those field bosses are useless as F4ck, no one goes to kill them as they are 120lvl (which is way overpowered) and drops r99 gear.. or nothing at all..
There is only few bosses which are worth to kill but impossible to get in or make a group as its now "clan/ally instance"
Raid boss system have to be changed also, hope @Juji will drop some suggestions to dev team to shake l2 live servers a bit but probably they are preparing for Aden so Live won't get any attention any time soon until Aden will die out as Classic did.

You should get the Lara's Elite Gift after the buff expires.
If your buff expires while you are dead or teleporting, then you will not receive a gift box.
As i mentioned before my toons were stationery in town. @Juji
They dont move from town for a week at least. And i get buff everyday just missed few rewards and the old Team Leader elite box disappeared also after maintenance which I had and haven't been replaced with regular box?
Is that means free event is ruined as we lost quite few boxes...?

They only check forums on maintenance day. All our questions and concerns will be ignored for another 6 days. Unless you go visit the unofficial, fan made by bot creators and RMT lords, Discord channel. Juji loves to share info there that never makes it to the official forum.
Can you drop a link to that discord?

Also @Jujiappreciate your time for replying to my questions , also I can understand your point as it out of your powers to make any changes/updates as it is dev decision to push contents for NA and etc , also missed them cinematics which used to be in Gracia or later ones, I think
Story is gone for way to long as every "patch/update" is just a name no more story even Fafurion cinematic was awesome to watch while waiting for client to update to get inside the game!!!
Just really sad there is no content to play or explore as I said before just sad that mmorpg game doesn't have quests (main thing in this genre), as rather I would go kill 12 wolves to get 100k adena (of course I can get them 100k from 10mobs) but that "Striving feeling" of accomplishing quest or something is missing now.

The cadence of our content updates has been drastically increased from every 9 months to every 4 months, which is why we no longer have the so-called "big patches" anymore. We are now releasing 3 minor/moderate content updates per year instead of 1 massive update per year. The process changed right after the Fafurion content update in May 2019, which was about 9 months from the last update (Salvation: Etina's Fate).
We can push out more content updates per year with the change in update cadence, which also gives us less compatibility issues like being able to run proper Anniversary events around our anniversary date. The process in moving to more frequent content updates was applied to all overseas regions, so it was not something we could change.
1. Quests - The system for most non-starter/beginner quests was changed after the switch to the automed hunting system. I understand there is lack of quests and I do not have an answer at this time when we will see more quest lines (e.g. Seven Signs) added.2. Story - Lore used to be included on the KR powerwiki and on some of the content updates pages, but we have not seen anything lately since the powerwiki was removed. I will check with the writer who works on the L2 lore to see if we can get some updates to it since we recently received lore on Death Knight and Sylph for Aden.
3. Achievements/Loot - The drops changed with our F2P transition in 2011 and again when automated hunting was introduced. We may see some future improvements to the types of items being dropped, but we will have to see once the Dev team shares more details.
4. Old NPCs/Hunting Zones - We already raised this issue up to our Dev team regarding outdated monsters still remaining in the world and requests for revamping the content. It is mainly up to the local development team to implement these hunting zone changes/revamps.
Which NPC gave you the critical error? We have an open bug in still for the teleporting critical issue with Dev.
@Juji cant remember for sure which exactly npc it was but it was in Elven Village and once i got critical 2 of my 3toons get critical also this screenshot i think of the second toon as I have submitted(report a bug button) first critical error , was a bit bored so tried to explore some hidden places or find a hidden old school quest where you have to kill 12 wolves or something like that just to do something in game.
Sorry for late reply been off for awhile.

Are we going to get these replaced to regular ones or just we will lose them?
Fixed an issue where an abnormal buff item was given out from the Lara event. The following items will be removed during the maintenance:
- Team Leader Lara’s Gift

It's a 17 year old game with a dwindling global population. It's unable/unwilling to attract new players (yeah I know,how amazing, start a char during the exp event and you can be 105/105 in 7 days, then vitality rune expires and it takes 2 months to get to 106) so don't expect swaths of fresh content.
Right now the only purpose of the game is to milk as much money as possible out of those that couldn't really play 15 years ago and are now mid thirties with disposable income and have a nostalgic love for it. If you think about it, there's AAA titles out there that cost a fraction of what this F2P game costs. So yeah. They will recycle content till those get bored and then shut the doors.
I know what you mean I'm playing NA servers since 2006 and I've seen a lot (with breaks) "and yes I got nearly end game toon" ,
But last 3 years was most boring in game which I've experienced in those years, don't mind them changing from p2p to f2p(p2w),
as there is no content anymore.. that's the saddest thing.. Long waited L3 never come out also..

Does anyone know if there is any upcoming BIG patches like ( Goddess of destruction, fafurion or etc. I'm not talking about humunculus and humunculus 2.0 Adding 5 homunculus doesn't count as massive patch..)
As at the moment we are lacking some basic MMORPG stuff.
1) Quests-what mmorpg doesn't have quests (don't need to answer as we are here)
2) Story - This part missing after Goddess of Destruction.
3) Achievements -(let me rephrase: items, achievable in game loot mob drops etc.. High Five patch was awesome with this stuff. bring it back.)
97% NPC doesn't even have a purpose since they are outdated, do anyone remember Seed Manor Traders in every Town. What's the purpose of them now??
Some of them NPC's give critical error once you try to talk to them..
Plus map is shirked to 14 locations...
90% of the Lineage 2 world is not in use as its still stuck in Scions of Destiny and Kamael (Gracia) patches which were 20 years ago.. (aight might be less but you get the point)
Elven Fortress, Giant Cave(inner cave), Devil Isle, Beast Farm, Wasteland, Forgotten Temple, Garden of Eva, Wall of Argos, Valley of the Saints, Pavel Ruins, Gracia Continent..
List can go on and on and on.. You get my point.

Is this going to be just another shameless cash grab like Classic turned out to be? If I remember correctly, @Jujimislead the community at the start of Classic that it would NOT be a P2W game(I understand this was not his fault and as an employee, he was responding with the info he had at the time). But Classic quickly devolved into a grotesque and perverted cash grab dominated by a handful of No-Life whales, bot masters, and RMT pros.
For me, L2 will forever be the standard by which all MMO's are compared. And I have no problem with pay to play, pay for convenience, or pay for boost. But what I have zero interest in is another massive P2W scheme that requires thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars to stay relevant. I still have friends that feel trapped on Classic servers because they cant walk away from the "investment" they made....it's almost like an opioid addiction.
I hope you guys can address some of these issues I am reading on these forums. A big part of me is very excited for a chance to play a new version of the game I love, but I wont if the company has not learned from the past and intend to implement a better balance between corporate greed the quality of life for their gaming community.
Agree with 90% of your sayings just about MMORPG part I don't agree there is basic MMORPG elements missing in this game since God knows when:
1) Quests-what mmorpg doesn't have quests (don't need to answer as we are here)
2) Story - This part missing after Goddess of Destruction.
3) Achievements -(let me rephrase: items, achievable in game loot mob drops etc..)

its possible being someone in the game as a free to play player?
for sure the answer its be no, but just to be sure
Seems you are new here if you are asking that question
The short answer is: NO
The long one: You might get lucky with buy and sell thing to get in low/mid tier player base, but without any money at all there will be item limitation, as 90% items are not achievable in game only paid loot boxes and paid events
Aden glitch?
