All servers will be down for maintenance on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 8am PDT / 10am CDT / 11am EDT / 4pm UTC/GMT. Estimated downtime is approximately 6 hours.
While this High Five update is parts 1 through 4, the game's login screen and music* will be that of the first new login screen in the series: a healthy tree in a golden field. So that players can enjoy all of the beautiful login screens and music that this update brought, we will gradually be cycling through all of them over the next few months.
The High Five client (http://www.lineage2.com/pds/pds_client.html) is available for download today but will not be accessible until the maintenance is completed tomorrow.

Sace what about birthday buff for ppl who received it on feb 14th? any changes?
People who have the Freya birthday buff active during the transition to High Five will still have afterwards, no problem there. Characters whose birthday day begins before High Five is open can only receive the Freya buff. Not claiming the Freya buff will not make it possible to get the High Five gift, it would just mean that your character would have no birthday gift to enjoy.

In the section of the patch notes about the Oly games says:
Now one-fifth of the winner's Olympiad Points are awarded to the winner of a match, and one-fifth of the loser's Olympiad Points are deducted from the loser of a match (previously, this was one-third of the winner's and loser's points, respectively).
It sounds like if i have 50 point and i win an opponent having 10 poins i will get 10 points and he will loose 2.
Shouldn't it be something like:
During a oly match the points that will get transfered from the looser to the winner are equal to one fifth of the olympiads points of the player that has the least (olymiad points)
There are many ways to update to High Five. Update your existing live client, or download the full High Five client, which will still require a bit of patching. Some players will find one method better than another method; it all depends on the player's connection speed. It is your choice.
EDIT: The updater will patch to High Five but players will not be able to enter until the end of the maintenance. Don't forget to check this thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=213813) about a GameGuard update!

The updater will not patch anyone's client to a playable version of High Five until the end of the maintenance. Don't forget to check this thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=213813) about a GameGuard update!

Small bit of sad news, folks: the login music that goes along with happy tree and golden field will be postponed about a week. Once we get it, we will make sure that players get to experience it a while before we change it to the next login screen and music. :)

no problem Sace :> I dont know anyone who play with ig music On at all :D
btw. we can press check file now ?
Need to download that client? i mean the old client not good for updating?
17:00-23:00 :(
6 hours should be enough to update. And if you go like me at 22:00 to bed will you have the rest of the night to update. And if you go at morning to work (like me) the whole day too. No need to DL the whole client.

An answer to my question \o/ No problem, I'll wait =)
To bad it's limited to GM's only at the moment, but it shouldn't be long before the server will open up for everyone...unless they encounter an error somewhere.
Technically the server is up but only for GMs and QA while we run some final tests. The server is not accessible to players yet, and likely will not be until about 1 hour from now.

The music that you have with it in the meantime works quite nicely, just the thunder is a bit out of place.
As far as I always understood it, the login server actually sends that information to every client that wants to log in (and the client then uses that information to show the "light", "normal", "heavy" description in the server list). So all those websites do is contact the login server every 1-2 minutes.

I don't think it's the login server that sends that info, but thanks for the info.
Remember that the 6 hours of downtime is estimated and approximate. Currently there are about 20 minutes before the 6 hours are up. So far there hasn't been word of any issues that would cause an extension of the maintenance, but the servers and installation have not yet been given the all clear. :)
If you wish to donate to the Hamster & GM Fund, you may do so now.
And there we go again ... yet another useful post! LoL!
What use is from yours? If you dont understand my post - ignore them.
@Rohirrim (http://boards.lineage2.com/member.php?u=135815) - when I playd on lol-privs - bots of some kind showed number of players online. Maybe these pages use same illegal way? Sniffer of some kind.
@Sace - what kind of donations GM Fund accepts? :P
Cool story. Keep creating more chars on all servers... That will keep you busy.
It does not block IPs, just checks the clearance level after you put username and pass.
OTOH I would gladly wait 2-3 days than having to put up with missing items, lost or broken quests, missing chars even... I vote for 3 more hours of tests, just to see if everything is fine.

o.O Everyone should have the normal "white" golden field login screen at this time. We will implement the blood one later. Try running Check File maybe?
Please check the update server. Many people can't log in at the moment.
Little bit tired of trying every 5 minutes. Already one hour without being able to play....:eek:
check the server no mobs or npcs ty;)
What? Where? Are You on right server? Coz Im on Naia and I can see NPCs. Im in Giran for like 30-40 mins... NPCs are here all the time.
At the time of onyxer's post, it looks like there was a 10 minute absence of NPCs on Naia, but it was quickly resolved.
