PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST! LET THE GM's KNOW where sick and tired of them not being forthcoming and treating players the right way! We can only make them change if we stand together

@Wisp @Hermes Let me give a quick hip pocket class on how percentages work. If you advertise a 5% chance that something is going to advance (the mystery box) and I have 150 attempts, then on AVERAGE, I should have succeeded 7.5 times. If I had a deck of 20 cards which contains one ace of spades then the chance that I draw that ace of spades with my first draw is 5% (1/20). If I keep drawing cards without putting any back then I can be certain after I’ve drawn 20 cards that I now have the ace of spades. (which is how Japan's L2 servers do events, which is fair) (How YOU advertise that you do events) If I keep randomly drawing cards and put them back in each time, then each time I draw there is a 5% chance that I will draw the ace of spades. However there is no number of cards I can draw to be completely certain of drawing the ace of spades. In theory I could keep drawing forever without drawing the ace of spades though the chances that this will happen tends to zero as the number of draws increases. For example the probability after 20 draws that I have not drawn the ace of spades is 0.95^20 = 0.36. That means, out of 20 attempts, to NOT succeed is a 0.36% chance. If we extend this out beyond 20 to say 100, there is only a %0.9941 chance of failure EACH TIME after 100. This means that every time I attempted to compound the mystery box after 100, there was a 99.1% chance that I should have succeeded based on pure random, eyes closed attempt, because I had not succeeded yet. The Events that are given to players advertise a specific chance and we pay you REAL MONEY to take that advertised chance. You as a business are obligated to uphold that advertised chance. I attempted to compound a level 6 Mystery box 150 times without a success, with an advertised rate of 5%. This means, according to REAL percentages, statistics and chance (not made up L2 math), I failed a 99% chance of success 50 times in a row. Fulfill your obligations as a business and deliver what YOU advertise.

Garbage, zero new events this year, horrible rates, the rates arent as advertised, customers are being mislead with actual rates versus advertised rates. A real XP event? LMFAO.... Autopilot and Zero cares from NC Soft West... classy company... real classy.

these dont work anymore. need fresh codes...

Because NC Soft West missed simple economics in highschool and someone there thinks it's better to charge 600% for a widget that costs nothing to produce and sell 10 rather than lowering the price, increasing player count and selling 1000. We've tried to help, people have literally offered to work for this company for free to help them with this server, but someone there is so sure that their way is the right way, they simply don't care and won't listen. You'd think losing out on publishing Throne and Liberty would have knocked some sense into them like.. oh.. maybe we're not doing this right.. but.. NAH... If this server was ran like Japan or ANY of the other regional servers our player base would be double and people would gear multiple toons. Dear NC Soft West, please sell the rights to publish L2 in North America to the players so we can do what you refuse to do, listen to the player base and make the game enjoyable.

Hypocrite ....

yeah this needs to be fixed, the "unlimited scrolls" simply means unlimited PK's and totally defeats the purpose of the "prison system" that was put in place... this is 1000000% something you can do @Wisp @Hermes without needed approval from the real NC Soft... change it please.

Haven't you heard?!?!? Ando is 100% "legit" and has never spent one penny in the game. Bwhahahahahahhahahaha

Must be nice to have a publisher that cares

Let me make it SUPER easy for you... Did you any ANYWAY get screwed? Did it seem unfair? Did it seem broken? If so... WORKING AS INTENDED! Welcome to lineage 2 NA servers

Oh look... the biggest whale on the server says us peons don't need an exp event because HE already has all the gear and can one shot mobs in dethroned. Can you be any more full of yourself? Many people are starting new characters, or don't level as fast, and well all know NC soft won't ever reduce prices on anything, but they might do wxp events.. so I am asking for something that is possible. Yes I'd MUCH rather items be reasonable.. but they give ZERO sh$ts so... xp event at least. @Hermes @Wisp

Our xp events have been non existant this year. @Hermes@Wispare we ever going to get a legit xp event this year? At the VERY least put the xp cookies for 118 and remove the level cap like before. Can we do something?!??! Anything!?!? Hello??!?!

Here in is the issue, they would get MORE money because MORE people would play.... look at GW2 it is wildly more successful that L2 atm, and they are anything but P2W.

Don't worry Galador, @Wisp will give a very lengthy and detailed response. They said they valued communication so we can all wait for them to respond as this was a very well thought out response to the growing player base concern. Right @Wisp ??

Just roll us back to when you could farm everything in game.. and there wasn't a store. Literally... just give us l2 from like 10 years ago and watch you live server turn to dust because we frigging HATE IT.

Same crap... different uneducated GM that probably played the game for all of 30 min.

Oh look, a publisher that talks to its player base... WEIRD!!! And they aren't bankrupt... and they have more people on there server.. and the list could go on and on. Get your head out of your collective @%%'s NC Soft West.

How is this even a "gift"?!?!?!? Oh here is a cookie that WOULD be awesome if you could use it... but you can't have any buffs.. which means it's actually worse then just your regular buffs... ENJOY THE FREE GIFT. PLEASE... NC Soft, sell us the rights for l2 in NA and let us run the server the right way.

This .... times A BILLION. You're a horrid publisher compared to the other lineage 2 publishers. They listen, they've dropped prices. they've given real items in shops to prevent the economy from going insane. Most of all, THEY ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE. If we could somehow get NC Soft to change publishers.. we would. Don't worry, NC Soft main wont ever see this.. youll delete it like you do everything that points out how poorly you run this company.

OMFG... the times are from 11am PST to 5pm PST... BWAHAHAHAHHAHAH, they HAVE to be sabotaging the game.. they HAVE TO BE. There isn't anyway they cant be doing this on purpose... Their customer base is 90% working adults, they have to know most of us wont be home to take advantage of this "Baller" event.

https://www.lineage2.com/en-us/news one word .... GARBAGE

They dont want us to play, they want us all to quit so they can focus on aden and GW2 etc. There isnt any other reason they would SH&T on us like they do.

Its important to differentiate between NC Soft and NC Soft West, There is a reason NC Soft West isn't publishing Throne and liberty, NC Soft knows how bad they are doing in the West. Look at all the other servers in other countries, they all have Eisenhad stores, their paywall is MUCH lower. NC Soft west just is terrible that's all, and instead of listening to the customer base, they would rather kill the game with (I'm sure) a bunch of millennials that never actually played the game the way it used to be and think they know better.

Then why are they literally labeled "Rules" ?

Perhaps what they are saying is more in line with, We already pay 15$ a month for prestige per toon, then you have to pay another 2400 nc coin for dynasty pack per toon, now its hunting pass of 18.50$ per toon. Grand total to unlock content you need to fork out 70$ a month, per toon which is more than most full video game cost. NOW, if they provided content like EVERY OTHER GAME, I could see it.. but that is a STEEP price for us to "unlock" a game that requires more money to do pretty much anything do to ALL ITEMS being locked behind a pay wall. Remember, almost NOTHING drops in game anymore, it ALL comes from gambling box events. Maybe instead of saying things like "just quit" try and understand that this game used to be a real video game, not a p2w mobile game on a PC, and many of us love and miss the old game and wish it would go back to being a real video game.
