[News] Lineage II Classic Server Launching October 3

[existenz]

If you ask me 1 server would be a blast.

if you want to play l2 you will have to make an effort. i am casual player and i dont care about been to every siege and do every event.

i just want to relax no matter what. if i want to participate in a siege i will stay up late to do it. 

Back in the day i was playing in ncwest and sieges where 1-2 o clock at night coz i am from europe. none complaint... the server was full of Europeans. 

personally i will play to the server with the most population not with the best timezone.

if server is gmt-8 is too extreme but from gmt-2 up to gmt+3 i will choose population, not timezone

i hope in faster lvling, i'm really happy for Classic, i really want to play (Castle Siege, Antharas, Baium, Clan Wars) but peoples need also working  slow lvling was boring, Make it faster, best fun is on top lvl

Thanks for listening to your customers. Like I said in the discord for classic, If you are running this shit will actually get done. Ass kissing aside, can you have GMs actually be live and patrol server actively to help fight the incoming Russian RMT zerg, and the well known scripters that plan on “playing”?

Perfect news!

• Keep gear out of the cash shop.
• Don't instance all the raids
• Don't nerf drops/spoils
• Police the PvP scripters.
• Provide regular updates

Viola. You just made majority of private servers obsolete and have player-made content for years to come.

@Juji Can you please post stuff like this in the Classic section too? Just makes sense to.

This is it, this is all they need to do.

The first three are all that matters.

Players can mostly regulate themselves, but the flagrant offenders would be nice to see them gone.  However most of the time people just assume things and don't know anything just because they are bad.

@Juji, how many game clients we can run at the same time? 3 like on main server or more?

Viola. Spoils already nerfed in this version to the fact that spoilers are useless like in the GoD series you hate that much 

Also, considering this is NC West - cheaters will roam freely there.

I had heard.I'm hoping NCwest can make individual changes to rates like they obviously can to prices. Early GoD wasn't that bad. But then they started reducing adena and item rates. While giving increasing lootbox rewards. Leading to War of CreditCards as the only real way to play.

What time will it start on October 3rd? after Maintenance I bet no? 

[BlueBerry]

This could be more popular than Lineage Live?

It will be more popular. During the first few months, at least. Give it a while and see where it stabilizes at.

Yes. How long it stays that way is entirely up to juji and staff.

I partied with a guy in the catacombs once back in the day who was convinced I was botting because I had already targeted the next mob, so when the first one died I went straight to the second without delay and he said "that's impossible!". No IQ test to play L2.

Please...lol. It’s very clear when someone is using pvp scripts. Like killing healers before they stand up, after healer hits accepts Rez.

Ofc it happens but for whatever reason people think everything that is faster or better than them is a bot. When things start happening faster not than humanly possible (because some people have crazy low stoned reaction speeds), but faster than the game itself allows, then it's a bot.

If I know to hold down a macro (with a keyboard key, not spam clicking) with a seer's name on it and hit stun shot as soon as the target window appears so we trade stun shot and compelling wind and we're both incapacitated I'm a bot because how could I possibly have know he was there?!

People throw out accusations left and right and barely any of them know what they're talking about. Target macro? that's a bot thing right? (also has happened to me)

Pretty sure everyone knows of target macros, I would hope.
