you knew it was going to come back :D but it's not good to have this public :( however a simple fix will make everyone happy :)
do u really think that NCNA cares??

not one bit!!

no not realy, but I have the now have the right to say that I tried. :)

Actually, I do. I know that Alyra is working on the library, but I know that her team is seriously understaffed.

The buck stops not with NCNA, but with NCKr. Budgeting issues prevent proper staffing levels, meaning people get overworked and burn out.

How many CMs have we gone through in the last few years?

yes
Hmm, check this out:


It’s a well matured world with plenty of players, meaning the markets are full of affordable stuff and there’s always loads of people to party up with.



I wonder what game the reviewer was playing.
Groups are anything but easy to find outside the clan/ally (and even then are hard as many people are not all that active), and RBs parties are very common pre-40 only. (and usually take a long time to shape up, generally more then I have time for)
At later levels parties outside the clan are a rarity, so in all honesty the reviewer was definetley smoking something...
The thing is, if they had a coder to spend a few days on a simple parcer for the server files to just add all of the items to the library database, they wouldn't have to do it manualy. Just press a button, add the icons and hey presto, the library would be updated. And dont say "oh but it's not as simple as that", yes it is since ive done it myself.

Lineage 2, Hindemith server.

Not a big problem on Hindemith.

Depends which class you are.
I've been working on updating the Library's Items & Equipment section to CT1 info for roughly the past month. I'm almost finished! :) After that, I have a whole list of other areas on the website I'll be updating as well.

It sounds like you have been doing it manually, that really sucks >.< (sucks for you i mean)

Someone with a bit of coding knowledge could have easily created something to add the items/skills to the database and it would have saved you alot of time and effort. Oh well, whats done is done i suppose.
some classes can't do without a party and others are never needed in any party. and i'm not posting about buffers/healers which are close to 100% party-dependant. :)

easy said then done, cause it's now like 3 chronicles later maybe more,but maybe with this you will earn my thrust back same as the private message i got from HGspam,till then i am still sceptic,maybe this is a step in the right direction. till then i am still dissapointed in all gm's but still love this game.
most parties are buffer / healer dependant too.

I know it is beyond your control Alyra but this website is the least of the problems that Lineage 2 is facing in NA. Maybe your efforts (and I mean all of the NCNA crew) would be better spent in pushing for some kind of power to make some significant localisation changes to the game. A nice up-to-date library is going to be of little use when no-one plays the game anymore.

/agree

they need just a high-lvl off-party buffpet. which is quite available at every server. :)
Is it just me - or ia Alrya the only CM that has a title of CM and Web Content Editor.... makes you think how many staff they really have down there.
Well then, lets all volunteer to double our monthly fees so they can afford more staff and GMs, k?

The monthly L2 fee is trivial, less than dinner out in a crummy restaurant. We have a GREAT DEAL now and I think it is unreasonable for us to complain if we aren't willing to cough up the cash.

sorry but i lolled,thats like if you are in a restaurant sitting while waiting for your dinner,then the ober comes along and says yeaah srry we havent got that many ppl, then you will be like oh well do your best i pay double for my lunch.
we are customers ,they have to do their job good and right.
they selling we buying a product and they have to guarentee the product is working well.
if the product isnt working well, the seller has to do something bout it,not the buyer.

Mistryl did web content editing as well. Also, the CM is responsible for approving fan sites, reviewing said fan sites (to make sure they fit in with the Fan Site Terms of Service), and in general being a liaison with the community.

A lot of work for one person.
Thanks Alyra, I am glad you are working on the site. No matter what some of these guys and girls say, what you are doing does matter and helps the community.

God bless your sad, over-worked soul. :( Tell NCNA to get you a staff. lol

That's humour! :D Never met anybody on this forum with so much humour. Go on plz :)
i would like to offer my services as an inpartial volunteer GM on a server i dont play for 4 hours a week. i hope this will help the understaffing problem ..... seriously i just need a ban wand to get rid of bots and whatnot.
