​How active is the clan? I'm interested in returning to L2C. I was one of the first Elven Oracles to hit 35+ but got tired of having to solo so moved on at 38. I'd love to return and play an EE main but being in an active clan would be a must. I was sitting for 6h+ waiting on parties the last time I was on. ​Well you are at a good level right now for our average. Not sure what our activity is around this time, but we have 3 clans in the allu,2/3 is full. We have at least 16 members on around the clock., although that is counting /allystats (so it could be afk shops). We have a wide range of levels, from 20-high 60's. Some fast levelers, some casual levelers. ​Okay, downloading the latest client and I'll give it a go, :). Who should I contact in-game?

​Just pk them and watch them cry. ​You do realize he mentioned that he's an EE,,, ​Bruh, EEs are people too, :(. We can PK. It just doesn't do anything to solve the problem. Most people in the server love when someone PKs them because they have a chance at free drops without even having to farm anything.

​This is a known bug. Colors don't always change. As soon as you buff someone that has a red name but no karma, it will return to normal again. Protip: if you have to hold ctrl to attack someone, they're not red (I thought this was a given but a lot of players still don't understand how PvP works in L2 yet).

​Well, they say they care about bots, but do they really? Lots of people from guilds have been caught botting already and they are still in the game because they can donate to get unbanned. Actions speak louder than words. ​If you pay attention to economics, this setup makes sense: if they ban bots that people actually care about (main characters), the server makes money when they're unbanned. It's widely theorized/known that it's not a hatred of bots that drives the bans, but rather the ability to use it as a revenue stream. Otherwise they'd permaban these people instead of acting like people don't know botting is against the rules. Retail was the same way when it was subscription-based/paid. Bots were banned when they had made farmers enough money to make it worth restarting. This way the server could ban them, they'd buy another CD key/subscription, and this would rinse and repeat for infinity, bringing a steady stream of income that otherwise wouldn't be there.

​Just pk them and watch them cry. ​The irony is you get more bot reports against you when you PK someone than you do when you actually bot. It doesn't solve the problem of this bot reporting being a new form of griefing one another. It's akin to when some games used to mute/temporarily ban players with x reports against them. Guilds would band together to all mass report people they didn't like as a bot so they'd get flagged/muted/temporarily banned from the games. The only way to fight this is for the admins to step in and do something. These players are toxic to the community, hold back real progression from the server's staff, and are allowing their greed and misanthropy to push them to cowardice levels.

​ Level cap is 65. B grade is top gear. B duals can not be obtained with patch 1.0. ​cap is 70 since highest mob is 60 and u dont get exp from mobs that are 11 lvl under ur lvl... ​Interesting. I thought it was ~70 but everyone kept saying 65. Like an abnormal number of players have made that claim, so I figured it was an official cap. I guess they're basing it on the color of the mobs then (66 would make the 60's blue).

​If it's not the proxy, then how come it only affects certain people, and is almost always people on the same proxy?

Seriously, learn what is and isn't a bot. I was going around WWing people around me at DV today and had multiple people claim they're reporting me for being a bot now because apparently that's what bots do now -- give everyone buffs. Then I'm in a duo with a dwarf, helping kill, and yet again, I'm now a "bot" because I'm duoing and it's with a dwarf. Then I'm trioing with an orc and a tank. Magically it's a bot train because none of us are adventurers. What's with people in this game and assuming every single support has to be a bot and anyone that happens to be leveling with someone else is also a bot? Guess what? Support is just that -- support. They're not made to solo. Especially an EE. Actually healed a guy that was being raped by mobs earlier and found out he was training me because I'm a bot and would heal randoms that have low HP (so he was hoping I'd heal him to pull his train and die). This is getting fucking stupid. So from now on, fuck people. I buff and heal only my party. I will not allow anyone to buy buffs. I won't help anyone. I will not respond to anyone unless it's regarding a party. Fuck off. Party or nothing. End of story. Signed, -- The Overly Helpful Buff Bot, Raleign P.S.: Reporting people as bots is the new form of griefing. It's happening all the time in PvP -- as soon as someone flags and dies, they report the other person/party as bots in the hopes that they get banned. This bullshit is keeping the real bots from being banned because you're wasting the staff's time on frivolous reports. I think if someone misreports 3 or more bots, THEY should be banned to stop this griefing shit from happening. As it is, there's no punishments so you can freely go get every account flagged for review just for lulz. I've even had people ask me for buffs when I was low MP, and when I said I couldn't due to low MP they threaten to report me as a bot if I don't.

​I run into proxy issues all the time on all 5 of the options so I often have to relog on a different one. It's random, too. I can be in a great state for hours with no problems and as soon as I try to heal it screws me. Or have agro on me and it does it and gets me killed. Others I will have to log 2-3 different proxies in a row before one finally works.

​Can't even party with random people anymore because most of them are joining parties and then botting and you'll get banned with them. And most clans are the same way. So it's getting to where you either solo 24/7 or you risk being banned because of all the others botting. It's ridiculous. They HAVE to either do something more drastic or just watch the server turn into retail. People justify botting with the "so what if the train's banned? I'll have made some adena and I'll just create a new train, wash and repeat." Some are even trading full scripts now for leveling and such so that you literally just make account -> create character -> click start and let the bots automatically level, hunt and farm, and then you take their adena/drops every day or whatever you feel is best. Once they get banned, you spend another 5 minutes creating new accounts and characters and do it again. And again. And again. There are players with 10m+ adena that have admitted this is how they're getting so much.

​That's true, people from USA cannot play Innova's Classic Server. ​You "can," but I personally won't. If a company doesn't want my money, that's enough for me to not go out of my way to give it to them.

​This isn't new to me, really. I knew someone in C3->C4 that was paying $10k/month for adena on retail. He even splurged another $50k+ to buy a Giran clan hall. But his salary (he owned a construction business) was ~$3.5m/year so he said it really wasn't much considering. He used to buy all sorts of random people adena just for grouping with him, lol.

​with the power of newer processors most people can run many Windows on one pc switching back and forth with ease. Back in the day you needed more pcs since the processing power wasn't there. I still don't understand these rules though they're so vague. On the rules list it mentions third party programs and nothing about dual boxing. But here in the forums everytime someone brings up premium account they say something about allowing boxes....i don't get it. Maybe its just me??? ​Huh? Even back in Prelude (beginning of L2) I was 4-boxing on retail with no problem. Later on I ended up 11-boxing but that's a different story.
