We will be bringing down all Lineage II servers on Friday, January 11 at 5:20 PM Central Time (12:00 AM GMT+1) for a brief maintenance. We expect the downtime to last 30 minutes. The following changes will be made during this maintenance:
Clans
* An issue that was resulting in Clan Leaders not being able to retrieve Blood Alliances from the Castle Warehouse Keepers has been fixed.
Lol, they're fixing an issue with lvl 10 clans, way to go! Thats like something that you need to take every server down for, couldnt wait for tuesday eh?
You let bugs and exploits stay in the game for months if not years but sure as hell fix something like this in a very short time. GG NCSoft. Next time perhaps use the PTS for TESTING.
Well, this was a pretty important fix. The Blood Alliances are earned when defending your castle. These Alliances have been earned since CT1 went live. Unfortunately all the castle lords were unable to pick them up. So if this issue went unfixed and the clans that had earned them in the past lost their castle this weekend they may have lost many Blood Alliances. Just trying to head the train off at the pass.
Actually, I thought you all look tired and needed a break. :p
Weren't Fortress owning clans supposed to get them too for defending their fortress? Not sure about it but I seem to remember reading about that ><

Apparently it was working for fortress owners because the leader of my clan was able to pull them out.
And if this was such an important fix, howcome you've let other issues be in the game for way longer? I still remember the RB farming with petrified pets and many other issues.
Fortress owning clans receive Blood Oaths, as the poster above stated, and Fortress owning clan leaders were able to retrieve those items as intended.
As for why this fix was soooo important and other fixes are not...
Well since all bugs are not really bugs and just me me flexing my godly power to bend Aden and Elmore to by whims I can only think I was too tire to act? (That was a joke, really.)
Here is how it works.
We find a bug.
We test a bug.
We report the bug.
We wait for a fix.
When the fix comes we add it to the server.
If this fix is in a build *meaning it is part of all the server code* then we put it in on maintainace.
If this fix is in the form of a Hotfix then we place it in asap.
I think that is the simplest way to explain it. It is actually a little more complicated.
Then why there's lots of reported and tested bugs from PTS carried over every time? Btw, might wanna fix that bug that causes people to crash when fortress gates are broken. It is kinda nasty.
Would be nice to fix all the fortress bugs like Menus being backwards and Deathwhisper being spelled "DeathSweeper. I hate having to click on Warehouse in fortress to get buffs and teleport. Ive reported these bugs many times and respsosne is a Automatitic one that says we aware of issues with fortreses no fix is forseen in future have a nice day.
Yeah, like Riposte being broken for one full chronicle, or was it more... but hey, lets fix something that wont matter to the majority of the servers.
I still think it's funny to find bugs and typos after lo these many years of updates, patches, pts feedback, etc., etc. Like today when I dinged level 7 on my phantom summoner alt and the dialogue box reads, "Congratulations, you've reached level 70!!!" (paraphrased) That just kills me! :D
But sure, go ahead and fix the other stuff and ignore the rest.
It's like telling your girlfriend that her dress is caught in her hose, but instead of fixing that, she pulls out her compact case and starts touching up her make-up. Sure, luv, go ahead and powder your nose, but sooner or later I hope you realize that the only reason why people are pointing at you is because your [censored] is showing. Good job!

I had to rofl on that!!! :)
I can understand the need of a fix coming from NC central when it's a major issue,but when there r sooooo many little bugs/typos out there after all this time u can see why ppl get so irritated by a "fix" like this...
You do remember that all fixes, updates, changes, etc, are done to please the Korean masses, where there are plenty of lvl 10 clans, lvl 80 players, 3rd sub-classed Kamaels, etc, etc, etc, and that the US/Euro market just gets the poorly translated "fixes" and updates which are incompatible with our playstyle and server populations, right? :p

My personal favorite bug is upon completing your newbie shot quest you get the window open that says Congratulations, you have recieved Soul Shot(when getting Spirit shot)! And visa versa. Been that way for ohhhh, ever since they started that quest.
I, like many people here, work for a software company as a project manager for the Federal Government (and you think we whine alot, come to my office and sit in with my CS staff - I will show you what whining is) - so yes we understand that somethings can go in as hot fixes and others wait until the scheduled mainance or during a major relesase, bla bla.
BUT!!!!!
How do you explain all the bugs that have existed in the game for years and never get fixed, even if it is a simple text correction that would take a jr programer 10 mins to fix.... (Alyra and Spam - I know that you are not authorized to answer this question, but maybe can you ask NCK and find out....)
