New game tips when logging in, umm???

We got some weird ones in there. Obviously some of it is for korean support and not NA.

Here are some of them.

Now some questions on them

Use the petition system to request help from a Gm between 1:00 - 5:00 pm.

So does this mean we will start to see some gm's online?


if you'd like to run 2 accounts from one computer (at a PC caf, for instance), make sure one is a fixed amount account

ok, what does this mean? Is it just for koreans? If it is just for koreans, does this mean we will get it soon and that the client will be changed to only support at max 2 accounts?


store that contribute to blocking hallways, arches or passages n peace zones are subject to relocation by GM's

do the GM's know of this? Kind of curious.

the purchase or sale of in-game assests for real world currence is a violation of the user agreement and a punishable offense

again, does NCsoft know about this?

when paying for the "personal fixed amount" the last day of the valid period is calculated as hourse to use. You will be notified of the time remaining whenever you connect to the game server

huh? korean?


inquire about account payment and other account-related issues by using the hompage 1:1: inquiry, or contact customer center at 1566-6600

korean again right?


if you are locked in a place and unable to move, use the "/unstuck" command to move to an adjacent spot. If that doesnt resolve the problem, please report it to a GM

Now, are the GM suppose to help up get unstuck? I thought they would always tell you to use a soe or to use the "/unstuck" to go back to town. This tips sounds like a GM is suppose to help you get unstuck if the ingame command doesnt work without you having to go back to town. Please clarify this.

items can be safely enchanted to +3. All enchant attempts above +3 have a 1 in 3 chance of failure.

see the other thread about this. This tip isnt true as full armor is safe to +4.


if unwanted connection to termination occurs during a game, please use a 1:1 inquiry to relay the error message to an administrator. That will help ensure a speedy and accuracte resolution.

Last time I d/c, unwantedly, I was in the middle of a lot of mobs. I had the new kill stealth up, so mobs wouldnt attack me. When I came back ingame with the skill still up, the mobs attacked and killed me. I petitioned and the GM said we can not help you if you d/c.

So, what is with this tip? Let me guess, the korean team would of helped from something like this right? Why not here?


if you attempt to log in within 10 mins of following a loss of connected when raiding boss monster Zaken, Baium, Antharas, you will be forcefully transported to a nearby village

ok, ok. Does this mean if we wait 10 mins after we d/c during these raids, then log in, we will be where we were when we d/c'ed? Or will we still be in town?

Now, I would assume this is an unwanted d/c, see the tip above, would a GM help us and move us back? Or will they just say they cant help us, even though your game tips say they will?

And I assume that the tip about making your name with korean letters (didnt get a pic) isnt for us right?


So update to what is true, and take out what isnt for us so your customers kind of know what is going on.

LoL Gold you have to much time on your hands, go lvl that sub :)

store that contribute to blocking hallways, arches or passages n peace zones are subject to relocation by GM's

do the GM's know of this? Kind of curious.

Yes, they do, and they move the stupid twits who block the passages in Giran again when you petition them.

I like the "Remember, behind every character is a real person." one. Yeah ... sure. ;)

Talk about useless tips :/ I noticed one odd before tried to take a screenshot but didn't work ^^. Sadly forgot the one but it's not listed above

LoL Gold you have to much time on your hands, go lvl that sub :)

I spent like 20 mins logging in and restarting. I think some of those game tips have the same chance to come up as full item drops. Others have the rates of adena drops.

sold most my gear, just crafting and enchanting now. Oh, also spend 65 on the event. Nothing to show for it but 2500+ fireworks, 1200+ large fireworks, and 1200+ mistery potions. I think I dropped enough horns and masks for the entire server.

"if you'd like to run 2 accounts from one computer (at a PC caf, for instance), make sure one is a fixed amount account"

could there be some explanation in this one plz?
for example i got 2 pc's and 4 accounts of mine and 1 shared with my girlfriend, total = 5.

will i have a problem in the future on this issue?

and i know im not the only one that's using more than 1 accounts

Yes, they do move people blocking NPCs or hallways when you petition them - if people would just start taking the time to open a petition and add to it things that need moving while going through Giran and then send it off, we'd soon have clear passageways - I do this.

Yes, the tips are pretty worthless as a whole.

Remember the one on the official homepage that said that Dark Mystics should forego shields since they depend on evasion?

I had the tip today saying I can use korean and chinese characters when nameing a toon ^.^

If only ... :)

Frankly, I'd settle for just all of the European characters in chat (http://boards.lineage2.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=681601), too. Chinese and Korean in addition to it would be sweet, though. ;)

Aw Gold, well thanks for testing the event rates anyway :(

I know the /unstuck command will move you back to a good idea if you are in a spot that is like, flagged as being stuck. I fell INTO a rock once and /unstuck put me back on the mountain before I fell.

I'm curious about that fixed account thing as well, since I run two, sometimes three l2 sessions at once on one computer.

It appears that several tips that were told not to show up have decided to crash the party and display in the loading screen anyway. The following tips that Goldshlager posted do not apply to our Lineage II service:

<ul type="square"> Use the petition system to request help from a Gm between 1:00 - 5:00 pm.

if you'd like to run 2 accounts from one computer (at a PC caf, for instance), make sure one is a fixed amount account

And the tip about Korean/Chinese/Japanese characters in a name.This is a known issue and the tips that don't apply will be removed as soon as possible. Please use the web site (http://support.lineage2.com) to ask the GM team specific questions about policies mentioned in the tips, or to report more tips that seem to be incorrect. Thank you!

I have to pose the question.

Are our bug testing and localization efforts good enough or do they need to be improved?

I don't ask for much, i just want things perfect :)

When each of us achieve perfection, then we have the right to expect it from others (including NCSoft).

PS For $15 a month we get an amazing deal, it costs me about ten cents an hour to play, or less. This has to be one of the best deals that exists in the world today.

Well, since perfection is a matter of opinion- done! Your move, NCSoft. :D
