I don't mean to be rude, but this "very soon" is been frustrating on the player base. I mean we could be losing players to this lack of release date.

Вечер добрый всем ппц прочитав эту тему я в шоке , что за нытье когда падает шмот при смерти это часть этих хроник я обеими рука за то что шанс что вещь может упасть это интерес этих хроник!!! Причем это говорит тот игрок который обычно играет в соло!

​Classic is not for casuals, if they would remove this, a lot of people would quit, because we want to play classic, not some shitty easy x20 h5 server. God i hate people who join a server and then try to change everything because its too hard for them.. This is a CLASSIC server, CLASSIC = drop items when you die on mobs, so if you cant handle it WHY did you even come here!??!?! i repeat... CLASSIC IS NOT FOR CASUAL NOOBS. ​Preach it! I was on retail from beta-C4. When the original dev team left ncsoft, the game began to change for the worse and cater to the carebear crowd. We are starting to see a shift in the industry away from the carebear games that so many casuals enjoy. Games like the upcoming "Camelot Unchained" and the ever classic, "EvE Online"(a hardcore pvp game that has refused to change to cater to the carebear community and had continued to thrive and grow in subscriptions) to name a few; offer a hard core style with definitive loss and severe consequence for each action the player takes. I find it refreshing that the gaming industry is seeing a need for hardcore games with severe consequences for the actions that the gamer takes and a definitive cause and effect style of game play that forces the player to think through their actions and not mindlessly breeze through the game. Classic L2 offered this style of game play but it was unfortunately lost over time through poor choices by NCSoft and their dev team. Thankfully, we have servers like this one that wish to bring back the "hardcore" style that so many of the old school gamers long for. If people don't like hardcore Lineage then they should just play a good low-rate interlude server.

Remember the augumentation and PVP modification that should come with later updates like olympiad. This will prevent you from dropping main armor and weapon.

Hey I live in Pacific time zone and I'd like to have a clan to join before launch so I have some people to party / talk with. I don't really care where you are from cause I play at odd hours cause I work graveyards. Just as long as the clan is primarily English

FIFA-16 will launch first .

So true, iI've always loved that side of L2, that's why i'm really into classic, because classic is where the challenge is at. i've always played diablo 2 and diablo 3 on HC mode, because i don't see the point in playing a game the easy way, it's just no fun at all. Knowing you could lose something you've worked hard for with just 1 death is what makes the game exciting and worth playing. That feeling you get when you're low hp, that's what games are for, not some stupid easy mode 24/7 grind with no challenges, no penalties, no consequences. I have faith the admins won't listen to the morons coming to a classic server forum asking to change one of the biggest core mechanic of classic servers.. That's like joining a x25 H5 server and asking the GM's to change it to interlude patch.. If you want interlude, join an interlude server, if u want h5, join h5, if u want classic, join classic. but don't join 1 and ask for something else. There are 1247523745237234 private servers out there, if you can't handle this one go find another that's easy enough for you Thanks god you're here Gelthias, reading this thread i was starting to believe this server was going to be filled with only a bunch of scared carebears. Good to see there are some people who knows what classic is.

The admin here have shown they are not idiots, so it will not be removed. Lineage2classic.com, the name says it! Now i hope we get an announcement for the live date soooooon

​As for you FosTer. I thought this section was meant to be English? google translate is an amazing piece of software buddy. Still 10 days left in August, there's plenty of time. I'm sure the guys are working as fast as they can to get things ready to go live. Also remember that you're getting to play for free. Nobody is gonna force you to pay anything towards running costs of the servers, show a bit of appreciation.

CLASSIC IS NOT FOR CASUAL NOOBS. ​I agree with you that we should not make any changes to classic since then its not going to be classic but telling 60% of players to leave is not good idea dont you want some mass during pvp? I also think that future updates will remove this feature anyways. Seems like they keep adding more & more stuff to "L2 Classic" so I would not be surprised if they fix this as well but only time will tell. Also removing this feature is not as easy as fixing 1 line of code and would delay going live by at least a week since it would have to be tested etc... I'd rather see server go live SOON! the poll doesnt mean shit. not everyone will see this poll and come vote, a lot of people only check forum on general discussion or news to see if there is GM post about launch, they dont care about reports or suggestions. if they remove this option, a lot more people will quit, because this is the main challenge of classic, its the REAL l2, not the goddamn casual L2 for noobs. Remove this and what do we have left? lil casual noobs can ks your mobs without any penalty, if you want to punish them you will have to pk them, get red and risk dropping, so you're punishing yourself too. but with this? if some1 is being a little dumbass you can make him die to mobs and they risk dropping items. The people who want this removed are the casuals who likes to be little dicks on forums or in chat but never flags *cough* HeartBreakers clan *cough*

Classic is about having a community, a group of people working together. The PVE loot is made to force people to play safe. If you don't, then please don't start complaining. If you're smart enough you'll have a lot of trash in your inventory. This won't prevent a big loot, but at least it will highly reduce the risk. And honneslty when you'll mostly have D and C grade that's not really hard to make, except maybe the weapon. But then again if you're not playing in a clan, with a good community which support each others, you're obviously doing it wrong. But I can totally understand 60% are afraid to use social skills on MMORPG nowadays ...

Leave it in so I can stun/train all the bots and get lootz.

already have a release date? 11 days...

@Fenrir and Foster I think you're both missing the point of my post. There is a lot of negative energy circulating on these forums, and clearly a majority of that aimed at the GM's and staff. Clearly some of you need to lighten up, it's a fucking game at the end of the day! I see a good amount of updates and fixes regarding the state of the game - Maybe a bit more enthusiasm for the game and giving the GM's a bit of a cheer instead of screaming bloody murder all the time.

its extremely rare to happen unless your are red and everyone dealt with it just fine the first time around. you drop shit and your friends help you get new stuff. so either make good friends or play very carefully

as they say, ​i'll believe when i'll see it with my own eyes :v

This feature push people to be carefull, play wisely, and make a group. It mean dungeon are more a threat and party have to stand together. If you play with people this will never happen, you think too much like a solo player who didn't want lose his stuff. Only people who play alone or dual box gonna leave and it's not this who gonna make people leaving anyway, i think more about how xp curve.

I must say the people that want to remove this concept of the game are the same butt tards that destroyed retail. If you play the game smart you won't die to a mob during solo... Classic is classic because of mechanics of the game like this. This game is not meant to be easy... If keeping this concept in game drives away the emo players then I say goodbye to those people.... It's part of the game and if you don't like it leave it?

I somewhat agree with this. I understand both sides since some people now talk alot about keeping this feature but when time comes and they actually drop something, I am sure they will either rage quit or complain alot. 10 years ago this might not have been a problem when all of us had plenty of time to play and even if we lost it we could get another one. Now people play casually and whether you are going to say this game is for casual players or not you will be disappointed when you will have 50 hardcore players left on server & 850 casual players that will leave. So I dont mind this feature being removed not only because I dont like it but because it will keep server more populated in the long run. I dont want to invest my time into this and then within few months 80% population disappears and server eventually dies. You want to call those players noobs? They dont know what classic is? They should not play this game? Well guess what? About 80% of the population will be exactly that so think twice. If these people leave the game you will have low populated server and server will die. On a side note, dont forget that you can still drop items from your inventory, since its classic people wont be able to use warehouse that much since it can become expensive, therefore there are many valuable items that will be in inventories like mats or other weapon/armor parts that could drop. I think you should ONLY drop your equipped armor or weapon if you have karma (PK) which makes sense and should not be removed, those who kill players should be punished and should have some type of risk. TLDR; I agree to remove this feature for 2 reasons. One is that I simply dont like it (my opinion) and second it will keep server more populated in the long run.

What some of you guys are saying makes no sense, I never talked about the - exp loss, or any other contents lineage 2 classic offers. I had the biggest interlude server back in 2008/2009, so I have some knowledge about what people want. It's obvious lineage 2 classic, is a way different then interlude, but again and again, people working hard for their stuff, and while being killed by a monster and someone else picking that up makes no sense. I'm just talking about equipment you are wearing. I can live with the fact things can be dropped out of your inventory, but just not the equipment you are wearing. That is my opinion, and stop talking about things like ''Don't play classic then''. Everyone is free to suggest things! Let it be clear that everyone has his opinion, so respect each others opinion, and don't stamp the people who thinks different about this little content deep into the ground! I like the other contents classic offers, but this content is concerning me. Risk or no risk, it's not that lineage 2, just changed that without a reason, This should be changed near my opinion. Leave the rest as it is, because classic is meant to be hardcore.

​​Awesome! I really like your point of view. I'm also here to have fun. I don't care to be selfish. i want to enjoy the game like I did 10 years ago I will contact you in game
