Come on they always use central time it's up to you to calculate the times if your in a different time zone. Everyone playing this game should know what the difference is in thier time zone.
I'm hoping all the html and tesxt errors have been fixed and just waiting for live to be implemented. Can just imagine what the boards will be like if they are not.
"During this maintenance period a number of changes will occur. All characters will all be moved to the nearest town along with a few other minor changes. The other changes will be announced over the next week leading up to the maintenance period."
Which changes? O.o' New web-page? new payed services?
Anybody know if the newlive will effect olympiads for this months. For example the ppl who farmed points all month in open will they get coins with the new rules in update?
Ok as some pointed out was my first thought also, there is alot of text bugs in there. I really hope you fix most of them before launch otherwise just wait another week.

Vitality is like music in my ears :P Well wouldnt be that bad yes. Anyway, i cant stop to have the ideia of a new web-site. I got a feeling about this :P
Only koreans debug the game.... We just test translations...
In theory, you're absolutely right. But there's still a fair few non-translation related bugs on PTS (which surprises me considering you'd think NCNA would have got the most recent build of the Korean code to do its translation on).
For instance it's still quite easy to get permanently 'stuck' in Gracia. I doubt that issue is occurring on Korean live servers much ... it would create a tremendous GM burden as I hear that /unstuck and SOE doesn't work. Also, broken HTML links and stuff (although I suppose that might be considered a text-related problem).
I think the argument is that minor text issues aren't critical enough to delay the deployment on the live servers. I remember in past updates, some text bugs continued into live, but were fixed during weekly downtimes over the next month or two. My problem with that is that sometimes text bugs are fairly serious because they misdescribe the effect of a skill or item, and people may invest money/sp/xp into it on the basis that it works as described. But sometimes it doesn't (certain skill overenchants were bugged for AGES in past updates). Also, poor translation just gives the game an unpolished feel. These things matter if you are a new player trying L2 out. You want to feel as if the game is solidly built and bug free.
well I think that we just have to wait for update to go live and see...
anyway I'm glad they combined it with the event of 5 years anniversary, I missed collecting letters :p, bet the "5" will be really hard to find... :)

Yup heh, I remember back when they did actually forget to (or intentionally didn't) put the number in (I think it was the 4 from 4th year event). Nobody had one, and as soon as they started dropping they were selling for millions lol...
Many matchs have already been completed. how are you going to calculate this and will all points be reset? if so then we shouldnt do all oly in next few days.
I dont have time for pts, but according to patch notes, there are still olympiad points.
its calculated differently who wins, its not just on points there alot more factors, also u start with alot less points, only lose 1 point and win 1 point per match so yes its TOTALLY DIFFERENT
The Olympiad
Three vs. Three
• A three on three PvP Olympiad game has been added.
• A party leader character requests a game through an Olympiad manager while forming a 3 person party.
• Points earned or lost depend on wins and losses and are calculated based on the total Olympiad points of all team members.
• A 3 vs. 3 team game is regardless of class. In this game, a buff is not provided at the beginning of a match and one cannot use a skill during a match.
• If nine parties are registered for a game, then two separate games proceed with four parties, and the rest of parties belong to the next game.
• The rest of game rules are the same as the existing Olympiad game.
Thats in the patch notes. Bold for emphasis. No need for me to test it, I can read.

LET US KNOW NOW
!!!!
yea need to know what is happening with oly after update, because that still leaves 3 more days of oly this month!
Smitte the thing I think changed the most about oly is that if you fight 9 matches you still get some points to spend to buy stuff. The way I read it no more needing 50 points to get a decent amount gears.

yes, and this is an awesome change, but want to verify that it will be in place for this month
We are very pleased to announce that Lineage II: Gracia Final will be going live on Tuesday, April 28th, 2009! The estimated maintenance period for this launch is 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM Central.
not forgetting the X hours to download the patch..
Anybody who was around for the last few pts already HAS downloaded the whole client and just needs to do a quick file check when the servers go up again :)
They didn't announce the downtime yet, so it's not possible that it will go down 13.00 -- 19.00 gmt +0...
Regarding the update, once I heard that you can upload the client by using PTS files... is that true?
yes...just copy lineage u have to new folder (now have 2 copies of lineage)
download live > pts server .exe
convert 1 of ur lineage 2 to pts.
run..it will update pts to current version:D
now when live's up just convert updated lineage..
download pts > live... blah de blah ur done:D
Can you explain a little bit more, what you've written is kind of vague
From what i understood from your post:
1.Make a copy of your L2
2.Download PTS client and update
3.When Live goes up it will just convert some files and you will be ready to go?
i dont know when i run lineage2 launcher today it said "The connection to the update server has been termindated" I know whats the problem and i dont have any firewall on and anything of these...
Maybe update server is down now or i must download ptstoliveconverson lineage2.exe to update? Or Gracia Final is On now?

I had the same problem,but it works properly now on.
Install the Gracia Final PTS, replace the LineageII.exe file with the one from PTStoLiveconversion.zip. Delete your system folder. Run LineageII.exe (the new one just freshly unzipped) ... updating updating... done! Wait for the servers to come back online.
I don't get it...we will play the Test Server before we can play official?
LOL the PTS is always there before a new update comes out. Its here for we test the new stuff for bugs and report them. and so on. After a while, that new update will be released to live servers like we do having it now.
Ok i can update now (i am updating right now and i already tried ipconfig/flushdns before...) I didnt intalled that new PTS Client i just used the updater to update new files and its updating now... Isnt it right too?

It is ok, updating it will just take longer then switching from pts to live. Any way servers not up right now so be patient you wont log in, nobody is loged in.
update is done and the website says the servers are up, but I get to the log in screen and it says "You are currently logging in, please wait a moment" And that's as far as I get... it never logs in. Any suggestions?

As far as i know the previous update took really more time so better be patient and i am sure that server will be on soon :)
