Hello Everyone,

We are actively working on addressing the current latency issues experienced in game. As we work on these issues, we will need to bring the servers offline. So with that, we will have an unscheduled maintenance to change the server hardware. All Live servers will be unavailable at 1:00 p.m. PDT (10:00 p.m GMT+1). Game servers will be unavailable for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Thank you for bearing with us!

@Hime Would you be able to indicate your troubleshooting steps and testing by chance? What are your theories as to the issues that are causing the performance decline? Will you be testing any of the suggestions the community has indicated such as the disabling of the Greedy Chests and the watchful players thereof and disabling the Ranking System as a test? Any transparency here of some work or troubleshooting steps may help ease the community's mind that NCsoft has been listening and could help restore some faith in some of the player base.

Here is a list of temporary solutions we have tried in the past to address the latency issue on top of other backend optimizations, network adjustments, and hardware upgrades:

  • Disabled Auto Hunting 
  • Auto-hunting targeting speed changes
  • NPC spawn times increased in Timed Hunting Zones
  • Timed Hunting Zone UI disabled
  • NPC spawn times increased in following field zones:
    • Altar of Evil
    • Pavel Ruins
    • Archaic Laboratory
    • Garden of Genesis
    • Guillotine Fortress
    • Seed of Hellfire
    • Land of Chaos
    • Plunderous Plains
  • Ranking system logic changed
  • Ranking system disabled
  • Character creation disabled
  • Restricted server capacity
  • Auto-kick for dead AFK characters logged for 60 minutes
  • Instant HP Potion logic changed
  • Attack speed logic changed for Dual Weapons

You've literally just switch the server locations... how can you need hardware change already?

We're working through all the potential places the issues could be coming from.

Any of these have players in it.

Coal mines is probably the most crowded place in whole l2, with tons of monsters per square and with a very high respawn rate.

These hunting zone changes were done back in 2019.

So you GM's keep saying you're thinking about what Items/Buffs/Pots(Supplies  you're going to be giving out... Any word on these yet?!? Or we still have to see how much more worse it gets before anything is giving out?!?

❤️ this NEW SERVER!?! Or So called new server...

I understand that this is an old game, but if NCWest have decent monitoring and logging systems things should have been identified by now.

Now if we see that this is going on for over 2 years, and this have not been solved yet im pretty sure NCWest will loose a lot of customers and players, so for the sake of our community put that overtime (especially devs) in and do not stop until this is completely solved. Too many people frustrated and the issue is present for far too long, so please understand that people are way over their patience.

@Juji @hime

hi guys,but if you take a look on server if you log in like a gm you will see what is first problem.Go in all greedy chest spawn zones and u will see how ppl using bot to log x nr off characters and keep them dead.in general i think is more ok for server when you make free events or exp events to let only 3 acc  from one ip  to log in...

Maybe someone can help me make sense of these 2 options?

1. This would just make more people use oog automatization, which we all know nothing is done against, which would only slow down the server. Most of the other people would just stop playing, because that's the only way to grind right now. That helps in which way?

2. People complain because of the slow hunting due to the lag, so they remove the lag by slowing down the hunting speed (targeting) on a normal running server. The result? A server without lag but roughly with the same killing speed. Is the complaint resolved? I would say no.

All these experiments you make, are on our expense, we bought boost potions/party cakes/runes/prestige pack and so on, they all waste for nothing. Exp event didnt worked for us so far,  you should really consider on a serious reward for our loss. Or just close the server for good and thats it
