BRT Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Its 1$ a month... I remember when I started lineage 1 as a kid I was what 13-4 years old? When .77 ended I had to pay 15$ a month. I remember saving money pulling weeds, walking dogs, doing yard work for people in the neighborhood. Then I would go to the post office get a money order and mail it in to pay for my subscription lol. Yet these people cant afford 1$ a month.... wtf...

Krissa Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 If they can sell VIP3 to 6k accounts per sever, I'd say it will be a very commercially successful project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that can't be for serious. Before the 1st week of the sever ended I had lvl 24 on my main and 21 on my box. So I made 2 chars lvl20+ in just a few days. And I played pretty casually. Just get ur shiet togather. And to the rest of you crying - video games aren't a charity business. They HAVE to earn money and be profitable for the servers to even exist. So either pay or accept that paying players come first and switch servers or wait 3 hours in a queue and just stfu. 'Free to play' means that you have a possibility to play for free and you should be grateful that someoen is giving it to you, not that you will be on the same foot as people who are not f2p (which is kinda obv imo). I support the maintenance of the server by buying their services, and you don't as a f2p player. Maintaining a server ain't free, neither is the staff that works on it. I have a VIP on my main account, but not on box - and despite also having problems with logging in my box, I'm not crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, but the great majority of players on Giran (that's where I am) are paying. Roughly 80-90% of the people there that I've spoke with so far have at least VIP 3. In addition, not a small amount of them bought the VIP also for their boxes. So you litreally don't have the right to expect that they won't have queue priority over f2p.

As of if the game was advertised f2p there should not be a queue, posible cap increse or box reduction from the start ( too late for that). also stupid events like fishing takes up 1/5 of cap for what? transfers to aden maybe is good option for NA players if u dont have clan already thriving on TI and invested plenty of time....

What reputation? Are you sure you are talking about NCsoft? People who return to NCWest know their "reputation". The problem is that L2 classic is still the best MMO on the market, and Innova is even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did try to improve they rep with this mew classic servers, also half of the pop never played here before so yes they expect quality, but seeying how it all plays out soon the players base will decrese without a quick fix before the damage is too great. And then what? they will merge TI and Giran into a inbetwen time zone with player base of 3k? like live servers now. If they want this to last to make them money they should bring a quick fix, otherwise reputation and expectations will drop, and there will be a short lived memory of a server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupuldog Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Oh god are you really such a greedy people not being able to pay 1e/month???

Sure why not, what servers have you seen to hold 15k players for a long time? even rpg club 4 or 5 years ago started a new server, o. launch 10k+ players were online( was on that server) after a year? 3k max, and these days no one even remembers that server its been wiped and new server took place.

Zenyar Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Ofc there are hardware/software limitations to having more than 6k players playing at the same time, but dont forget also that classic 1.5 offers very few hunting grounds. Expanding the server cap would prolly bring lags and the dreaded soulshot/spiritshot lag. It would also make Abandoned Camp, Orc Barracks, Partisans Hideway even more crowded. The best solution for this would be disabling fishing and the boss boxes locations for like 1 month, having 1,5k players waiting to log cuz there are 2k players afking near bosses or fishing is unacceptable imo. There is always the VIP 1 solution, for as little as 5 dollars you can skip queues and support the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where should europeans go? I am not mnaking shiet up, but as I said it is your choice to believe it or not. And I also clearly stated, that it's 80-90% players that I have specifically spoken with - and obviously I haven't spoken with the whole server, but still I think it makes a good representation. I would safely assume, that over half of the people playing here did pay (at least some amount, not saying that all of them have VIPs 4). And btw, I would gladly welcome the comeback of the old p2p system, then everyone would be on the same foot and noone would have the right to complain. Because as it is right now, ofc all the poor peasants wil cry 'ERMAGHERD PAY TO WIN BULLSHIT COMPANY!!#^%#*%)!@!'. Even if it really isn't and the system is fair imo.
