General Discussion Started Last reply 65 posts
Well i better get this thing back it had at least 55 hours of exping time left on it, just got it today and i planend to pull a 48 hour stint, had to pay 100m to someone who picked it up to get it.

Gm's better help me with this or im gonna be cut as hell especially if u say you cannot "fiddle with gameplay" when it was obviously your server lagging.

Ferst - Kain

I thought it was just me. I'll stop trying to fix it on my end.

I log in, can't move, PC's take a minute to appear, still can't move, a minute later for the NPC's, still can't move, wait another minute or two (not able to move) and eventually get the "You have disconnected" pop up.
They will not give it back to you.
Well they actually have to re-imburse people with exp rez's for such a thing like this so i would assume items lost such as that would have to be returned, luck enough i have a char logged right on it who might be able to even get off a rez on me but we will see
no, they dont. and that item is made to be dropped...id say youre sol. seems kinda silly to pay for something you could drop at any moment.
Something i could drop at any moment? I was killing mobs that i couldnt die too unless i got attacked by pvp, which is why there was a group of my clan 2 rooms away which they would have had to go through, now with that in mind, the ONLY reason i dropped it was because their servers lagged.

If you take that reasoning dont expect a exp restoration
I wouldn't expect xp restore really. Imagine the amount of people they would have to reimburse. Though maybe they will roll the servers back. Cross your fingers - and hope they won't roll them back to before you got the sword :p
ive had the sword for at least 8 hours so im hoping they do, even if i lose 5% thats only an hour, compared to losing a 100%+ from what ill get

Well, maybe paying 100M for it wasnt the brightest thing to do, but, man, losing Zariche because of a server lag ???
I would be so mad i would have probably thrown the PC out of the window, i wonder how you can even post things on these boards right now :eek:
Or maybe i would be on a plane right about now, on my way to Texas :p
They won't give it back to you. Plain and simple.
Well the sword just disappeared which works in my favour because if they could restore it, they couldnt if someone else had picked it up, i guess it disappears after 30 mins on the ground.

and shuush shorty pants always down on it!
and Grazzt, i can make 100+mill a day when exping so thats not much for me at a high level really, i got 20% out of it in 5ish hours at level 77, way worth it if i could have had it for 2 more days, and yes i was up in a place no one would get me, espeically seeing i play offpeak times.
You paid for what? Are you ******ed?

had to pay 100m to someone who picked it up to get it.


That was funny! :D
SirElrohir:Glad:69

even funnier
I know. I laugh every time I see it! But, I didn't have to pay for it!! :)

That's what I would sell it for if I'd loot it. I don't need it at my level, but any 76+ sure would have a good use of it.
From what I heard, it's worth it.

Says the 77 on Kain. I have clanmates higher than you in Franz... and we take the Zariche... we don't pay. So don't gloat. You are in no position.

It's worth it for anyone who manages to level it up. 4x kill rate with no consumables or downtime in Lineage ][ is enough to make people lose sleep/ miss work over.
Guys, guys, you're missing the point !
The point is, the servers have been very laggy those past few days, our wondeful and marvellous GMs kept saying nothing was wrong on their side, and now that the game is totally unplayable to everyone, it seems they keep saying their servers are fine ! :eek:
Maybe if we completely flood these boards with threads about it, they'll finally do something ? ;)
Oh well, i dont have time for this, i'm gonna start working on that Wallpaper contest :p

Then I must be the lucky one. Haven't had any lag in the last week or so. None.

This is unfair :confused:
the hawkeye is my subclass [censored] lol

oh and just if your cruous i made about 25m adena in those 6 hours from drops, so yes u get back about 200+ mill if you keep it the whole time
cool, youve only lost 75m then ^_^

None on my server either, I've just had every possible other error going, e.g neg delta time, general protection fault, screen freeze and my all time fave -
L2 has encountered an error and needs to close, we apologise for any problems encountered -
which translates into -
We're closing your game, you're most likely dead, tough [censored].

But no lag issues whatsoever.

:D :p :D
Servers aren't located the same place. Could easily just be some of them.
seems like the euro servers were fine

Hindemith is blessed, I guess.

Because you're playing Minesweeper! :)

It was a bit laggish yesterday, I thought it was me. But I play on a true server, Teon, not a second-class like Hindermoth, which will be merged soon with Test Server. :D
We all know lag happens, right? If anyone says that lag is something they didn't count on then they are, errr, less than smart.

So, if you know that lag happens, you ought to plan for it, right? In other words, hunt in such a way that lag won't kill you. Sure, that means slower exp.

Therefore, if you CHOOSE the higher exp that comes from IGNORING the inevitable lag the you CHOOSE to take that risk and have no right to complain when lag kills you and you drop your lil' Zarache.

Greed + lack pf patience = loss
this is 2 funnah..
Cant play on Erica either lags a joke atm.

ive had the sword for at least 8 hours so im hoping they do, even if i lose 5% thats only an hour, compared to losing a 100%+ from what ill get



They're not going to rollback the servers for one person. They'd rather have you mad than everyone else mad. And I doubt you'll get a reimburse for that zariche either since you make 100 mil a day anyway.

Except we're not talking about a bit of lag that may not turn on your SS once in a while, we're actually talking about unplayable lag that prevents you from moving or doing anything until you read this nice "you have been disconnected from the server" message, and next thing you know you wake up in the middle of the village, with 4% XP less, and all of your potions, scrolls or buffs gone.
I just CHOOSE to play this game, and i'd like to play it if it's not too much to ask from you.
By all means, Sir Grazzt! Please feel free to ask anything of me that you wish and I will grant all that is within my plower, with pleasure!
Oh good then !
I'll ask you what i asked Alchemist Matild : i wanna be a King !!!
But, then again, she lied to me and only summoned some kind of flying Gremlin instead, will you be more trustworthy ? :p
I doubt they'll reimburse any items, much less the zariche since it's by nature, temporary.

But even so this always, always happens around when a next chronicle will come out, it's not news :/
Ferst, what are you complaining ? you are in the well known hero clan of kain and the most of the server knows how your clanmembers leveled up.
imho ... you dont need the zariche to gain that xp ;)

sorry, no lag for me or my clan. Erica is so nice to me :D

Or maybe i would be on a plane right about now, on my way to Texas :p



Are you fighterhugo from Gustin? Cos he actually did this, from Europe, when his a/c got banned. Lawl....
Never fear, I'm sure a man of your stature has another 100mil laying around to buy another Zariche!

lol excellent !!!!
No i'm not, i'm Grazzt from Teon (well, less and less :confused:) and Zaarr from Lionna (more and more :))

back that up, show me one time i was ever doing that nub
75/75 100% legit dont hate the player hate the game.


To the person who said a man of my statue can buy it agian, sure, i made 500m this week from farming drac bow recipies,

2 weeks ago got an antharas earring drop from a war tag so money isnt a thing, i just need the levels so yes thats why im annoyed.
hey i really, really wanna hear how much money you can supposedly make .....again..... please

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/roflcoptor/ANTHARSEAR.jpg

need i say more



Oh man.... this is some good stuff. BS aside though.... you still payed for it.... why? I dunno how things work on your sever... but don't you have dagger/ hero teams in the ally just waiting to bsoe/ port to the zariche as soon as it spawns?
NOOOooooo, the server lagged up, I died, and ahhh dirtied my underpants. I demand NCSoft refund my underpants, pants, and the chair.
dont hunt in dangerous places when the server laggs?
If it was me holding that wep, I would logg if I got 1 min freezes all the time.
You could be anywhere not in town when the server lags, even an area that is normally relatively safe and pull aggro.. and even on lower level mobs you'll die if you freeze for 3+ mins at a time.

Dear Drew,

We understand that you are quite upset about this situation. Unfortunately we will not be able to "reimburse" the Demon Sword Zariche. That particular item is owned by no one, and no matter how much adena you paid for it, it did not permanently belong to you. Also along the same line we will not be able to determine what experience or monitory loss you may have had from not being in control of the sword for as long as you wished. The Demon Sword system is completely run by the server and GM interference is prohibited.

You are correct in the fact that many customers had some form or "lag," yesterday evening This was caused by Internet providers on the west coast of the United States. This issue effected almost all Internet users attempting to connect to any service located in the western United States. Since you are connecting from Australia this is most certainly the issue you encountered.

We are doing or best to work with customers that were effected by this Internet issue last night, and have reimbursed experience loss and lost items or pets. But unfortunately since NCsoft did not cause this Internet issue and had no control over the issue, our ability to make every customer happy is limited.

Thank You,
Lineage II support
I did not hear 1 single person from west coast having problems with their internet providers


You could be anywhere not in town when the server lags, even an area that is normally relatively safe and pull aggro.. and even on lower level mobs you'll die if you freeze for 3+ mins at a time.


not with the sword you wont :P

Well there was 3 or 4 providers that had problems, pity i have forgotten the link to where i saw, since the names of the ISP was there.

I think almost all of us here that have played for a long time have died several times due to lag, and that was when you could drop stuff if you died to mobs. All you had to hope for was that you was able to get back to ths spot first and that they didn't restart the server.

It sucks but welcome to L2...
Mobs don't go through all that massive CP, it's still possible to die with it if you just stand there for several minutes doing nothing.
(quick reply)
i would LOL if they "accidently" wiped kain and started over. boo hoo. i only got to have the cheater sword for 6 or 8 hours or something, and then i lost it. i demand the cheating that i would have done with it, if it had been mine for the maximum cheat limit, get refunded to me. boo hoo.
LOL, burn. ;)
clan leader ones for putting up flags and engraving on castles.
Don't lie Drew, first one is a button straight to hax and the others are for summon adena XD
your right, i just need to add in Summon: Demonic Sword Zariche and then im golden
