​We all do

I think this has been discussed before and the solution was to delete the gameguard folder. Not sure though. Trying compatibility mode and temporarily disabling antivirus is worth trying as well.

I have to give you some credit for this post. While it's purpose is pretty much the same as all of the other "OMG WTF launch date PLZ!" threads, it is well written, polite and respectful. The ability to understand that you can actually contribute something, instead of just waiting to receive, is unheard of on this forum. Well done sir, the others should learn from you...

​As far as i know, it's if more people are in same area, better will be the drop rate. For instance, if you kill Snipe alone, you have 5% chance to get a full loot (with x50 rate), and if few party come in same area then drop rate can up to 25%. It's how i understand how it works, maybe admin can explain better because they have algorithm (file). ​I highly doubt it would be like that since I can see how people can abuse that kind of system. You killing 1 mob & CP killing 100 mobs both have same set % chance, its just they killing 100 mobs faster gives them more shots to take the 5% chance where you only have 1 shot to take 5% chance. Them killing 100 mobs does not increase your 5% chance, your chance is still 5%. ​I agree that this is most likely purely subjective. When there is more people around, there is naturally more going on around, dragging your attention from actual hunting, making you less likely to "notice" you didn't drop anything, while a successful drop will always be pointed out to you by the sound and message. Conversely, when you are solo, the game quickly gets dull, and you count every minute and every percent of the grind. Only XP/SP gain is, in fact, affected by party size.

​I wonder where people got this idea. Why on earth would the drop rate be different, base on area population? Moreover why would it be LESS when MORE people are around? Isn't the whole idea of Classic to make people play together and cooperate? Now, i'm not making any claims here, i just find the whole idea very peculiar, even by Lineage's standarts... Just how do you assume this works?

Snipes (not Snipers) have very high drop rates (0,1 - 0,5%) for each of the seven low C grade acessories, by default. That is an average 7x0,3%=2,1% to drop one of them on 1x rates. Here you have 50X rates, so that gives 100% to drop low C accessory, for players of the same level or little lower. It's not a bug. Source: L2Central.info Interestingly they are supposed to drop EWCs as well, with about 15% chance, but i have yet to see one.

Opinion: leave it as it is (3x/3x/2x) and reduce XP loss penalty in pvp and/or in clan wars. Leave it (fix it) at the default 10% in PvE.

ATM you don't lose XP when dying, but it should be fixed on live.

Methinks he's trying to say he want's 1x server.

Just to clear things out, there is no sin eater in classic, nor any other pet.

pro: i don't think the ability to stop leveling would cause any (more) imbalance. If anything, it would bring BH's more up to par with other classes (why is spoil going to be only 2x anyways?) Sin eaters, anyone? con: You lose 10% per death, You can easily get killed twice per minute. That is 30 minutes of suicide runs to undo half a year's worth of grind. Also you can always get karma to stop earning XP, or just get killed once in a while while grinding. Bottom line: I doubt this "issue" warrants any more custom modifications to the server.

That is actually a valid point. How does one target that mess of an alphabet?

​Which competition? Only competition I think is 4game and I doubt they would launch in September. http://classic.melcosoft.ws/

Draqla said they launch the live server before the end of August. Since a competition is lauchning theirs in September, i believe the devs are highly motivated to keep that promise.

Waiting for quest monsters will be a pain, but you only need to kill those once. For any other purpose, the world of classic is large enough for you to find a spot where you can farm. And you can always grief people out of a good spot.

Approximate what? =) I'd estimate there is about 50, maybe 100 people online in the evening hours (10 PM - 0 PM GMT). Very few people want to play knowing that whatever they do will be deleted in two weeks... After that, most people expect about 1k stable players, after the initial wave of curiosity subsides. If you're asking for the administration headcount, only two people are publicly visible: Draqla and Manton, but the dev team is probably much larger than that.

Plakis is not very reliable database.

AFAIK there is no account retrieval option on OBT. For live just make new account.

Just how often is this ban wave going to happen? Because if people have a chance to move their botted stuff to their mains (or sell it), then banning the offending alts is not going to solve much...

There is supposed to be a custom bot protection on live.

Však ti nikdo neříká, abys platil. Ale spousta lidí s tim problém mít nebude, pokuď to bude kvalitnější server - a pokud poběží

It's not that bad. The only serious problems are with quests, The rest will hopefully be fixed in timely manner.

Je to placeny private server. Hlásaj, že maj ofic software (předpokládám, že asi jako tady....) ale pokud to bude jediná možnost, jak hrát v angličtině, o zájemce bych se vůbec nebál... No a samozřejmě když už si to lidi "na zkoušku" zaplatí, přece pak nepůjdou za měsíc hrát jinam... Čili to je IMO hlavní důvod, proč věřím, že to tady do konce srpna spustí, protože potom 1.9. přijdou tak o polovinu potenciálních hráčů.

/agreed Except that in any half-decent clan some kind of dualsword will probably be high priority.

You can try things out on 50x rates for the next two weeks (strongly recommended, there are differences compared to old chronicles), then the server will be wiped and officially launched with 3x Classic rates.
