Most certainly, just 2 weeks ago we hit the record of 2k+, without shops and dualboxes it should still be well over 1k
Well... There're other illegal ways but it's not worth trying imo.
Hopefully before 2100 Many of us were kinda expecting it before 2017, but at this point it's impossible to say
No-Grade weapon yes, if you mean XP +20% herbs then also yes (bad drop rate though). There're no buff herbs.
I'd say well over 50%
Admins are cool, they really seem to care about the project. The problem is that they're too greedy in the auction house which kinda damages the gameplay...
New players are definitely joining at a decent rate; considering it's a year and half old server, it's amazing to see newbies in starting villages now and then. Often I see some low level parties in party matching for ~30 RBs or AoE.
Well, If you want hardcore L2 then this is the best free Classic server to play on right now.
As I said above, there's been record online, and it's been during siege. I've seen many people taking a break before rejoining at 2.0 update though.
Well for high level PvP, in 2.0 the mages will be pretty much the only viable option, unless admins come with some radical solution to all these highly enchanted mage weapons... On the other hand though, for PvE, there should be this massive boost coming in 2.0 for fighters:
Othell’s Rune
P. Critical Rate
+75
+100
+125
+150
+175
+200
+225
+250
+275
+300
+325
+350
+375
P. Critical Damage
+20
+97
+114
+131
+148
+165
+182
+199
+216
+233
+251
+268
+285
^These numbers you're seeing don't actually miss decimal point. With a decent lv. ~7 rune it won't be a problem to get ~350 crit rate with any weapon, which will be HUGE for a quick farming. Unless devs nerf it, you won't even need buffer as much for solo farming
I don't think that should be a problem... Before you reach 40 there should be some event coming up where you'll be able to get ugly rich for early levels.
Well, if I were to start anew, I'd have probably gone for a spoiler first... To get some stuff for the beginning
I'd say all clans which take down epic raids redistribute the jewels to highest ranking members first... Though I don't know the policy of other clans, so anyone is free to correct me on this one.
4h a day is very solid time, you should be able to reach 52 in a month or less.
Well it's possible, but the drop rate is very low so it's being sold at very high price...
It would be nice to get some admins' info how Othell's Rune will look like in 2.0... Because if it's going to be the official way, aka +75, +100 etc., then DDs will actually farm solo faster than mages.
