Let's talk about this ad banner: First off, graphically wise, it's top notch, very sleak and clean, on first glance it feels like an advert for official server. What's my issue with it is the content in it. Few points: The only people who care about getting extra deposit bonus on donations are old players. Old players in majority of cases either (a) already play here, or (b) have already recieved the mass mail about Zaken patch / have heard of it from old clan/CP mates Even in the small number of cases where neither of above applies, I don't really feel like getting 10% deposit bonus something that would bring them back. From the new player perspective, a donation bonus is the last thing you care about if you haven't played here yet (not only that it doesn't attract them, it can actually backfire because the first thing they know about the server is that it has donations in it, which has always been considered the 'dark side' of the servers) The name of the server or URL is not explicitly mentioned. Side point, but the logo should probably incorporate the word "club" in it to differentiate from the official servers. If you look at this ad and decide to check it out later, you search for something like "Classic Lineage II" which guides you to official servers since on Google it's listed higher. My suggestion: Incorporate the "l2classic.club" in the banner Remove the whole "deposit bonus" and put weight on some of these : Zaken patch released (arguably the most important point because both /a/ the old players who might've missed the mail will know that Zaken patch is finally here and /b/ it works on new players because new patch implies new opportunities and new ways to get a headstart, as it's always been with L2 patches - newbies buffs, shadow weapons etc.) Reworked newbie bonuses (for above mentioned reasons, if you're joining an older server you want to know you'll be "compensated" for late start) Being over 4 years online (large part of the community has evolved from jumping on a new server each week and are looking for stability, so it's defnitely worth mentioning) Being the largest european classic server (obviously, people want to have someone to play with) Being 'hardcore' and 'oldschool' Lineage 2 (for those who might be unfamiliar with the concept of Classic altogether... Yeah I know it's not 'hardcore' compared to Classic 1.0 but it's still semi-hardcore compared to the old chronicles) If only the still banner is in question then the 'Zaken' mention would be my pick to put the weight on, if it could be turned into a gif then a short mention of all above points could work together (e.g. 'True Oldschool Lineage 2" -> "Largest EU Classic server (2000+ online) -> "New Zaken patch released" -> "Newbie bonuses reworked" -> "Over 4 years online" or similar order), if you could fit 2 points in the still banner then "zaken patch" + "largest european server" would work nicely together. /discuss

Right now, try to farm level 20+ mobs as much as possible (even if it takes you 1 minute to kill one), drop the event items, and buy top D bow in less than a day. Oh by the way, the 'Moon Knight' quest gives you a free 7-day D gun as well

Kse specifically said the golf ball is illegal, are you living in 2018 or something? It's 2019 dude, pros use breadcrumbs and dirt to stuck the key indefinitely, this way they can't even ban you because it's a keyboard malfunction and you can do nothing about it

Event is a'right, I mean sure the item drop rate is low right now, but it's always better to start with lower chance and then increase it than start with overpowered one and then reduce it, when some people already hoarded tons of itemki while others got none yet.

. Anyway, summon @Budesca

This post is exactly what I'm talking about, it's not about hurting anyone's feelings I'm fairly thick-skinned myself, it's about keeping a professional attitude and all. Anyway replying via PM.

Well thanks, my bad for not reading it before, but I think I'm not the only one who often skips reading your posts because most of them appear to have been written in somewhat ill spirit. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad for the event and server and all, but it kind of harms the servers' image when one of the admins writes his posts with passive aggresive undertone ?

Alright then, worth asking twice anyway.

@Koll is there any approximate date when you could tell if the data will or will not be altered? i.e. 2 days, 5 days, a week?

Well I'm sorry for being so pertinacious but surely there's no way to isolate the data from anything sensitive? It would be greatly helpful I mean it's usually that 5% that people care about that's wrong, like spellbooks for example... Anyway it's more about principle, whenever you trynna drop something with really low chance you always have to deal with the fact that instead of having a bad luck, the wiki data might've just been updated in one of the past 5 patches or so.

@San0 @Koll Cmon guys give this man his data?

/up, I was able to complete weeky 'enchant item' task 3 times within span of 6 days and now the Time Limit says "less than $s1 min." for 2 days in a row. If it ain't funky i don't know what is.

Lategame is definitely very well populated with lots of PvP, but many may find leveling up difficult since early/mid is not populated that much - for example I don't really think it's possible to level up chars like nuker without paying for PA and without losing your sanity. As long as you pick a char for RBs you're going to be fine because RB parties are quite common across the level spectrum.

Well they had a plan to open H5 but I don't think they're going with it, so I believe they'll stay with the Classic server.

Awakened classes - not available. The gameplay is much closer to C2 or Interlude if you remember (e.g. there are no Vesper/Dynasty or even S-grade sets in the game, top is A grade like Dark Crystal and Tallum). About the 'cloud-covered part of the swamp' - not sure which one you mean, but there're no Gracia or Hellbound locations here; the map is much closer to old Lineage (this is more or less how the map looks like now; couldn't find english version, sry) - some locations have been reworked since old chronicles but they're more or less true to the old Lineage. Last question I didn't understand, but the server has been online for about 4 years if that's what you were curious about.

All for it unless it takes too much work do, my 4 AM eyes would appreciate it throughout the year

Also today I again wasn't able to re-do the daily hunting task, i.e. the timer did not reset today.

/up Iˇm having similar 'issue' with weekly mission 'enchant item', I finished this quest around Wednesday and I was able to complete it today again with timer showing 12+ hours left. It probably counted for next week already but there's definitely something off with the timers @Koll

That thing recharges? That's pretty cool. Anyway some chars like nukers are virtually impossible to play without box (the AoE parties simply aren't being formed often enough to make it viable), but you do have a point about those buffers, I'm actually doing some lower raids with my dwarf and there's a surprising ammount of people playing active wc/pps, these would probably disappear

He's right though, allowing one free box would greatly help the server... Just make the PA to give access to 3rd+ window and replace the first box with increased rates or something to keep the money flowing... I've explained it many times before, locking the 1st box behind paywall prevents a lot of people from playing on this server, because if you want to try some char which requires the box to be viable in PvE you're not going to pay 10€ just to 'try out' a free server. Also the 'well you can just farm up for PA' is bullshit because even if you're playing hardcore it still takes several months before a newbie can afford to pay 25 million monthly without absolutely annihilating his progress. And 90% aren't even hardcore players, they're casuals who want to log in here and there for nostalgia, and they have virtually zero chance of farming up 30kk a month. 2nd box needs to be made free for server growth.

That's right, but you can always check in the achievement tab, there's a countdown for revolving tasks

that checks in but I encountered this problem when picking the reward pre-5AM

Maybe I just don't understand it properly, but the way I understand it, if I finish the daily hunting quest let's say around 5 AM and pick the reward, shouldn't I be able to do the daily task again later that day? Because I noticed that sometimes when I finish the daily hunting task before the reset time, it doesn't allow me to re-do the task again later and I have to wait for another reset.

You have to admit those are pretty funny tho
