Now i know Lineage is originally owned by ncsoft Korea but other games like City of Heros and Villans and Guild Wars, Are these designed by Ncsoft Korea aswell or NCsoft NA.
Reason that sparked this cause i just recieved a email from COH + COV that they were having a Double XP weekend.
2 things came to mind either the game was having alot of troubles keep and attracting new players OR it felt it to better serve its customers it would place events such as these relieve from the stressful grind.
NOW i only played City of villans for half a day before I allowed my 14 day trial to expire but aside from the character creations I felt the need to run back to lineage at a rapid rate.
A double exp weekend could be greatly benifitial EVEN if it for a short period of time ( a single weekend) or only affected lower mobs.
I am curious if we will ever see events like this >.>
Somebody else posted about this same COH/COV event.
The problem with an event like this is that it sort of goes against the core of what L2 is about. L2 is about the hard journey, earning your way up the ladder.
What might be more in line with L2 is having an event where there was lessened xp loss during PvP or no dropping while red for a day.
What might even be an interesting twist to such an event is that any high lvl character trying to pk a much lower lvl character has a 50% chance to have the anger of the gods come down on their heads and that instead of pking the lower lvl toon, they instead drop dead from the wrath of Shilien. Or "Flirby the Wonder Hippo". Whatever gods we have. I forget.
Edit: yeah... just got the same newsletter. Seems like a fun event that would fit in well with COH/COV.
also an intersting notion, a pvp related event could also have the same effect, Sieges i suppose are supposed to be the "bi monthly" events but due to politics on all servers they have lost their luster.
They are no longer about a fight for power and control its about keeping those in power in power and those without the right backdoor deals out of office.

They had higher rate events in the taiwanese/hk version of l2 and i wouldn't be surprised if other territories had that as well. It's not like everybody would be lvl 78 from a week of doubled xp.

I bet you if we had a week of double xp, I'd go from 52 to 58, maybe even 60. too bad I can't afford a BoP, yet!

that's why it's called an event not "let's change the servers to 2x xp" we have all been on this "journey" of yours. an event like this would be nice and whats two days? that aint jack for higher lvls.
Sounds good to me as well. A two day or even a full week long event is not going to harm the harsh grind of L2. If anything I'd say it would motivate real players to catch up to all the 24/7 bots in that time period.
I'll have to give a hearty thumbs down to the boosted XP event. The ones that can play non-stop, I don't mean bots, I mean the wastes of space with nothing but time to play, would be just about the only ones to benefit from it.

I still think the rewards are minimal, especially if it was 2 days. I don't think that double xp for 2 days would be very much fun unless I had loads of time to play. Otherwise, intead of getting 2% for my several hours I get 4%. It's "ok" but there are other types of events that I would rather see.
I would much rather have a PvP event or something where armies of the undead Attack etc. But hey, that's just my opinion. Im sure there are a lot of people who would love such an event.

i can imagine the complaints about ppl not haveing enough time to play and how the nukers benefit more

I can't really see the disparity here. If you play less, you still get the advantage of the double exp during that period. It doesn't really change anything as you're essentially advancing at the same rate. If you play 1 hour and another person plays 10 hours on normal exp, when the same occurs during an event the gap remains the same.
That person that plays 10 hours might be able to extend their play further through an event, but someone who plays less may also be able to do the same thing to a lesser extent (I'd give up sleep for it). If I had less time available to play I would see it as a great advantage, since shaving a few hours off of my sleep schedule would upset the ratio greatly in my favor. If someone who plays for 10 hours also shaves a few hours off their sleep schedule, it's just a drop in the bucket to their normal playtime giving the casual player a greater advantage.
Though maybe I'm just missing the point completely.
I would love a loot event over an XP event but I think it is the next best thing. :)
not everyone can be a winner in every event
blahh we basicly had this about 4 mouths ago, any one remember: killer wabbits?
I'd rather have a event that gives top prises, ant ring: like we had in a event like 8 mouths back. or EW/A/B/C/D.
If you all think paying ohh idk; 1.8m for EW/c is cool, or 2.2m for EW/b, or how about 12m for EW/A? sure it's good for casual players that make a ton of BS and AA, or castle lords, but not the adverage player that has to buy them.
how about that SA crys are going for about 2-10 mil.
animal bones fore 1,800; CBP; 18,000a; varnish for 2,500a.
I meen come on, why argue about double XP when you should be argueing for more basic mats as the small reword for the metal event, and large rewords like the boss jwellery, lvl 11/12/13 SA crys.
why not have several events to cover what all the players want???
A Materials Event
A high XP Event
A High lvl Content Event (would have been the battle tournament thing)
An Items Event (crystals, enchants, L2 day scrolls ect)
But im starting to think we wont see another event untill the release of C5 now.

I totally agree with you, but NCsoft doesn't seem to want to give us an event that drops items like you are talking about. So how bout on the other hand have a double xp event, at least we get something valuable out of it.
yes.. i got this in the main also.. and i am extremely tempted to reactivate my CoV account for this.. they did say in the email "Now would be a great time to reactivate your account!"
Talk about marketing! you never see the Lineage2 team do this kind of stuff!
CoH/CoV also 4 times a year activeates all accounts for 4 days at time even ones that stop their subscriptions to get them back into the game and run an event during those 4 days.
I got to admit i would of never tried CoV/CoH expansion if they didnt reactivate my account for me.
