mush 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 Dear friends!Our advertisement is running, but we think it's not enough. A lot of players are scared to start on an 8 months old server.well frankly i have to agree with you as long as core players that are mostly in full armor and weaponry they focus on killing and disturbing/ruining your farming while you're low level or newcomer on this server. as one of Lineage II veterans ( 12+ years) i have to say that it will be hard. but still GL to me and every newcomer around!

Cyane 230 Report post Posted August 21, 2016 What about increasing starting level and same starting town?it saves a lot off time soloing, easier to find people to party with, overall more fun for newcomers. Quote Share this post Link to post
eXistenZ 65 Report post Posted August 21, 2016 Already lot of players are saving adena, to jump from C grade top A grande in next 2.0. 3x is too fast ... from lv20 to lv40 its so faster. Moon set would be for fun. Its classic and its interlude quest . why not? its 3x from innovas 1/6 so its aroun x1 like it used to be. you just have to remember... Quote Share this post Link to post

FalkaValiarde 25 Report post Posted August 28, 2016 Yee... But you can give there some nice "hot" information like for example last topic: "Classic Club preliminary 2.0 patch notes." It would attract more ppl for forum if you write there short description and give link to forum. But there is second side of medal that discussion about it would be divided to fb fanpage too.You could get there information about standard maintenances like it's on L2 or Aion official fb fangapes with short description for example: "we fixed skill XYZ, please check ingame and give us feedback". Secondary thing is that if you don't remember what is proper name of fanpage it's hard to find it on fb. I don't know is it possible, but maybe you could manage sth that it would appear when you write "l2 classic club" or rename this fanpage to "L2 classic club / Lineage2 classic club".

FryderykChopin 853 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 It sounds good in theory but I don't think it would work - when you open a new, similar server, portion of players from the older one leaves there, which means the old one may have problems with population in those ~2 months, which may turn into a vicious circle: players leave -> remaining players see activity decreasing -> more players leave.Also if you were to merge after those 2 months, most solo players will still be under ~50 and they may feel cheated when merged with 9 months old server. Remember that new servers on same project are usually released when majority of players on the original server reach the end game - which is just not the case here. I heard some people were over ~70, but I would say that's less than 5% of the server. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

newplayer1 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 There are many solo players in mmo's these days. Not allowing 1 extra free box instantly makes them look for a different server. For starting on a server like this without friends/clan is quite hard to get somewhere unless they can get faster lvl's by having one buffer.There are 2 kind of solo players:1. the ones that enjoy playing alone with a buffer.2. the ones that has no friends with whom to start on a server like this but getting xp easier with buffer will aim to join clans/cps. etc. Another solution could be newbie buffs up to 40. But that's Gracia feature. Quote Share this post Link to post

And people who know might be bored sitting in town waiting for a party instead of soloing.Anyway i think with a newbie buffer up to 40 or 1 extra free box with some advertising might bring new people. Not to mention that 2.0 patch removes the level limit meaning higher levels to aim for, and its only natural to ease the lower level experience gain. Quote Share this post Link to post

FalkaValiarde 25 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 MoDoy said everything that should be said about this.Multibox kills some interactions between players. In my opinion we could maybe give free teleports for chars up to 20 lvl or free tp between starting locations. Quote Share this post Link to post
Sakara 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Imho to increse the ppl here you should: 1) More advertising2) encouraging ppl to vote the server and give them a reward (exemple 1 Col...) 3) Exp bonus like 5-6x till lvl 50, in this way they can grow up and if they have no adena to buy stuff they can pay for col and sell them in town.

newplayer1 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 You talk like it will be 50x rate or full buff where lvl 1-50 is like a walk in the park.Orc shamans can use bow just like all the other classes. I've seen dorfs/cleric/se with bows at rbs too. There's no way to gain new players unless the lower levels gets easier. People will still do RB's if rates will be slightly higher because RB give a lot of exp.I don't see new players scatter because leveling will be come slightly easier or an addition of newbie buffer. People that know aoe and rb gives faster xp they will do it. But it also help new players level faster solo if they like to, or can't find a party during their playtime. It gives the new player more options to choose. Because right now its only aoe and rb, solo xp is worthless. Like i said earlier in this thread, sadly there are more and more solo players in mmo's these days. Maybe that's why this kind of version of the game isn't that popular.

Lot of people will come and the ones who are already playing here have really no reason to start from beginning (maybe just few individuals who likes beginning). + now is best time to do that when people are starting to have 70+lvls.Its best timing to attract new players by new server. And if merge Will come after 2months when everyone is only 50lvl it doesnt matter, because they Will continue playing together and there Will be incredible population rise.. I started 2 days ago Havent met single player until 20 was feeling like Im In singleplayer offline game... 20+ is better and u meet someone more often but still its getting dead and Will be only worse. Now Im 30 a find some buddies so its fine. But i wanted to end because of noone on these lower lvls and was bored by this singleplayer offline game. It was really sick experience for me. As a newcomer i would definately appreciate to start on new server and go throw the low levels with new people and merge In few months. Most depressing 2 days of my life when Ure killing 20+ solo In nograde and cant find living soul on your lvl(and if u finally find someone its twink with +10 and fullbuff - i found this really discouraging in my wooden set and no porting adena for class change quest lol). Its best solution!!! regards 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
FryderykChopin 853 Report post Posted September 12, 2016 Fair enough, I guess if it was announced since the beginning that the server is going to be merged with the current one, it would make a sort of 'digestable' solution.However I'd still incline on option simply increasing rates until level 40 where people are actually starting to gather. It of course wouldn't completly remove the possibility of newbies leaving after seeing empty starting cities, but it would definitely help a bit. Maybe some fancy untradeable 'newbie XP token' to double your rates until level 40? Quote Share this post Link to post
