First of all, thanks for your amazing work! Keep it up. This is an excellent server with a lot of potential, and I am extremely excited to see these updates. I would vote for either 1.3 -> 1.5 or by groups. Going straight into 1.5 seems like it has the greatest chance of bugs happening. It also probably means we have to wait the longest of the 3 options for an update in content. A steady flow of content keeps current players interested and attracts prospective players. Overall, most important aspects for me with regard to this poll is risk of bugs and steady flow of content. It seems like either doing 1.3 first and then doing 1.5 or just adding content by individual groups would be the most stable, and in either case we are getting a decent influx of content.

Dear friends! We follow the updates from NCsoft and we promised you to make 2.0. But we are very cautious of these updates and we believe that they are not correct and bringing a great disbalance in the gameplay. For example, a scroll that will be available only for clans who own a castle, which increases experience and SP rate by 45%. Or again, for clans with castle, almost epic jewelry.   We don't think it's right to add these changes to our server, and dutifully follow updates from NCsoft. We want to go our own way, but all of you came to the Classic and this "our way" this should be considering your opinion.   Our main tasks we highlight in a few points: 1) The server must continue to be hardcore. 2) Skills and mechanics must continue to follow the Classic (except for very strange decisions as the transformation of the character giving stats). 3) Addition of new items shouldn't give an advantage to someone special.   The first important step on the way to update our server will be v. 1.5 update launch. We have resumed work on it after we solved one of the main problems with the groups. It is also possible to add to the Olympiad in 1.5, but has not yet decided what criteria needed to qualify for the Olympiad.   But again, the question arises as to produce an update. For this that poll was created. We see three options on how updates can be made: 1) Completing v.1.3 and installing it, then completing version 1.5 and installing it. Installing agreed with users. 2) Mixing 2 updates and putting them by subgroups.   Example of subgroups:    a) Opening of Aden.    b) Adding zones in the city of Aden.    c) Addition of Clan Halls in Aden.    d) Addition of Aden Castle and it's siege. And as soon as the subgroup is fully prepared and all the tests are completed - we are introducing changes to the server. 3) Creating a full update to 1.5, and releasing it after agreeing with the users.   Each option has its own "time to be done". For example, when choosing №1, wait until next update will take longer than №2, but faster than №3 etc.   Below we have written important aspects of the upgrade to 1.5 (All that is not included in this list is not unimportant. It means only that the changes are a subset of the global update and will be made according to how they are made at NCsoft). On the left you see updates from NCsoft, on the right what will be added to the server.       1.3 Update Castle sieges “Seal of Light” / “Seal of Darkness” 4 Castles: Gludio Castle, Dion Castle, Giran Castle and Oren Castle.

The topic of the discussion: https://4gameforum.com/threads/534942/ Your comments and suggestions, based on this thread, you can leave here: http://l2classic.club/forum/index.php?/topic/7049-additional-updates-discussion/ If any of the positions will be approved by both you and us - it will be included in the final updates . 

yes we do want to discuss about this post becus some of his ideas are indeed intersting and might actualy provide a better game play. As so we want to get players imput on that.

I am voting for additional clan halls in Oren

drop of armor currently on official can be solved via quest for non droppable "lunar" D grade armor non droppable A grade armor will be added later I think, after adding S or S80 grade drop of weapon from "white" can be "removed" for premium Thats not in the proposed update. This isnt carebear land.​

OMG! Innova stole the columns!

I agree with progressive ... why do you ask for update .. when you probably do aoe AC all day long.. because you dont know to play this game.. ? .. i can tell you pride is annoing .. i entered dv some lvl;s now ... but cant kill pride yet.. i will promis i will put a good fight in few lvl .... and for you .. just stop the drama .. and lets have fun .. Peace

You kill the right mobs (Giant Monster Eye) but drop rate is very low (0.003% - 0.015% chance with x3 rate).
