No more xp events.L2 is not a game that EVERYONE reaches same lvl-gets same skills no matter if he plays daily for the last 3 years or started yesterday.GOD awaking classes should be for the ones that play at least 1 year in this game,or more.
Do all events adena-items reward events,noone will be able to do anything with his new awakened skills if no adena to buy-make new gear again. :)
i managed to get about 45 minutes of lvling in the entire week of double xp..... life happens..
maybe things will work out i can get double that amount of time the next double xp run
I think that it was a very worthwhile event. It helped many players in our clan quite a bit, and I'm sure helped many, many others.
Unfortunately, like you, I also was only able to play a few days, and a few hours each of those days. But it was better than nothing.
I'll be busy again in July with our Infantry brigade returing from Afghanistan. Maybe I'll have some time if it's later in the month. RL is much more important than L2, but I do enjoy the distraction for a few hours when i get the chance.

Yeah because people are gonna start a 6+ year old game that they need to play for over a year to prepare for end game. Way to not think that this will kill the game...
it would be OUTRAGEOUS if the NCwest would make double XP event again!
Old time was much better than was need to complete the 2nd class change quest and get the lvl 40 like 2-3 months too. Nowadays enough to get them some hours and it will maybe faster in the GD again.
Same problem with all another levels what is it, that I can get the lvl 85 now much faster as in the Hellbound update.
I have about 400+ vitality items in my WH, 400+, but I have two lvl 85 character one of them has 100% too. I have another character his lvl is 84 and I have a lvl 80 character too and two lvl 76 chars still I didn't talk about the sub classes and about my another characters.
I want get back the times when I play 6-7 hours a day and need about 3 months while I make the level 77 from lvl 76.
If you really want make another event make drop rate increase events or pvp events.
We musn't forget, that if you continue the double xp events the players will get the maximum level and a part of them will leave the game maybe these will return to game when GD release, but not sure, that the all will come back.
It is good for new players to catch up, and encourage new players to continue playing the game. A lot of them wants to pvp and you can't really do that if you're < 80-85, then they will eventually give up and leave game. No new players + old players will eventually quit L2 which = L2 will die slowly like NAL1, if NC doesn't do something.
Also, a lot of people bought the 3+1 month deal from the 7th anniversary lol, so even they are maxed out on lvl and they don't play now... the account is already being paid for anyway :O

yes, you right, but this is the reason, why the NCwest should make PVP events and often at firstly now, that we have summer time and we have still some months before the GoD release, if the GD will fine, than it can take and keep money players to up coming years mostly if the expansions what comes after the GD will fine too.
But important the drop increase event too, because by double xp ppls can do easy the top lvl, but they have weak equipments and unechanted skills. So maybe they are on same level with the old school guys, but they will much much more weaker and won't enjoy the pvp and they can leave the game for these reason too.
Anyway with better gear u can xp much faster, so the double xp less important as the increased drop rates or pvp events
Most ppl should stop to focus on XP and start to find ways to make adena (and yes it is doable).
Lvl 85 ppl in Moirai/Vesper with like +10 skills are just meat for most smart played chars with full ele and +20 to +30 skills.
Too many still think they can compete when they are max lvl, which is totally wrong if they miss the gear / oe skills which cost a lot of money.
in short add something on top of just the plain old 2x XP to spice things up as well to give something to look forward for to your 85+ player base :)
if I may drop a suggestion:
one of the old events was having lots of raids spawn all over the map near villages, maybe do the same and make them give lots of XP and some useful drops like bews/beas/150+ crystals
as long as there will be a lot of them at random places so not easy to be controlled by the end game pvp clans then it will give something for everyone
- XP
- nice loot
- pvp for getting the best raids

And people will start a 6+year old game by jumbing to end lvl at once naked.LOL.
Many of us didnt start game from first year,but we never asked to reach the toons that started before us at once.

bahh...
let the ppl have fun! :D
if they want 2x xp, let them get it!
the game isnt fun before end game at all!
they will be meat for older ppl, but still fun to pvp with the new ppl who got 85 with them!
;)
If they want to still lower lvl to "try" to get adena they have that choice...
Hi everyone my first post here I was a dedicated lineage1 player been playing l2 for about 3 weeks now and some other players from lineage1. The 2xp event was really helpful to get us started. Another 2xp event would be really nice for us newer players to get caught up a bit especially since the new update will raise the lvl cap (I think).
but they have weak equipments and unechanted skills. So maybe they are on same level with the old school guys, but they will much much more weaker and won't enjoy the pvp and they can leave the game for these reason too.
Anyway with better gear u can xp much faster, so the double xp less important as the increased drop rates or pvp events
For lower levels, you don't actually get as much adena compared to high level areas. So even new players might have weak equipments and enchants, they will be able to earn more adena at higher level.
It would also be helpful if the community give advice to new players how to make adena. I see many new people asked for advice in the forum, then a lot of people just bash them right away and tell them that's what they had to go through for 7 years, so deal with it or quit... Not exactly helpful is it... :S, and which they don't have such problem in the KR servers.
That's problematic. What if I actually have fun before lvl max? Is it bad? :(
You can always go on a suicide mission on your characters :p
Some of us can only manage 1-2hrs XP per day due to rl and jobs, so yes, feel free to give more XP events :)
Only reason I'm not still 81 was a deluge of vit potions and cakes I used up while on holiday :p

i'm nearly a full 7 years..
i'm lvl 84... with 3x lvl 76 subs..
does that mean i automatically get bumped to lvl 85 with 80/80/80 subs?
If you max out levels too fast how will NCSoft make money on your monthly subscription when you leave? They have to balance their need for you to pay for this game and your desire to reach the end of the game. Double XP time and the loss of subscriptions are very detrimental to long term revenue. It is a fine line they must walk trying to keep all the casual players paying for a service they use twice a week for a couple hours.
Just try to wrap your mind around the truth, helping the player base quickly ascend to the top level of any MMO is not a good business model.
plz tell that the korean dev team as there have been players who managed to get past lvl95 before GoD went live without GM boost or the like and their PTS was set to same xp rate as normal servers..
lvl99 in less then 3 months seems all of a sudden doable o0"

Well, if you're only interested in keeping the elite players with multiple accounts, hundreds of billions worth of adena and gear from ebayting/botting previously, and those who spend much more time playing L2 than anything else - then yeah - keeping that, what, less than 25% of what is left in L2 - sure your thoughts make sense (ofc you're in that 25%). Of course, sooner than later you're down to that 25% with a very light population (mostly by players with many accounts each) on one server - prognosis = L2 gone in six months.
Hey, here's an idea - lets actually think what might keep and attract new and returning players to increase population. Amazing - what a novel idea! I know it's hard to see when you're an elitist and your life revolves around spending almost all your free time playing L2 with all your accounts and uber gear (oh, and I forgot posting dribble continuously on the boards - which certainly validates how productive you are). It's great that you don't want to change the game because, hey, if you have all day to play and have done it for years (hey, the end justifies the means right?) - everyone else should do the same thing. Not everyone wants to dig ditches the rest of their life - which is what most people trying this game figure elite players are doing spending all their time here to "win".
You're model will keep all the elitists (who also, amazingly have many hours a week to post here - amazing coincidence, isn't it?), but will kill the game (slowly, but surely, it's already happening). Most people trying/returning to L2 want to enjoy the game, but not at the expense of many other things.
They can always keep people by making 'top' gear hard to obtain, and the average gear not so hard (ofc not too easy either) to be obtained; where I don't think casual player will be going for 'top' gear anyway.

Only reason I'm not 85 is I didn't play for more than one year. Why my character didn't level up while not playing BTW? Is that a bug?
I am willing to take that bet... L2 will still be here and there will still be someone (maybe even you) complaining about how this game doesn't allow the casual player the same opportunities as hardcore players.
It is too bad life has not given you the opportunities to be an elite gamer, you post so much about this it is to the point you should seek therapy. I was not gifted at playing four squares, I never stood on the sideline complaining about everyone else that played better and more often.
There will always be those that have something you don't and will never have, as an adult you have to learn to deal with it. As far as I am concerned you have a great real life and spend wonderful amounts of time playing in the parks and having picnics... I don't waste my time attacking your choice to do what you enjoy in real life. If your real life is so great you should stay there and leave the virtual world to us low life geeks and dweebs.

WHY OUTRAGEOUS ??? are you affraid? do you need lower lvl players to enjoy your PvP? it seems so... let new players reach a good lvl faster to enjoy this game and stop being selfish ok?
I'm all for more double XP weeks or weekends simply because the last game update that wasn't specifically geared towards top level players was chronicle 5.
If NCSoft would make new areas at all levels or more engaging content and quests at all levels instead of just top level +, There wouldn't be any need to try to level quickly. If NCSoft would put level requirements on castles and other pvp related items, there would be no need to level quickly..
I would like a double drop event. I know it's mad, it's never been done before, but think about it : the drop rate of every item multiplied by 2, capped at 100%. Wouldn't that be great?
They can always keep people by making 'top' gear hard to obtain, and the average gear not so hard (ofc not too easy either) to be obtained; where I don't think casual player will be going for 'top' gear anyway.
Hero shout on Naia today,a dagger noone has seen him in any pvp/siege/oly or even xp never,plays in a small clan on some weekends,asks to sell +6 3x120 rare vorpal helmet.
Any idea why a casual player had top of the top armor and now selling it to get prepaired for new update's top gear?
I've met so many casual players that always wanted to make/buy everything top in their toon.To say the truth,we play game to ''live'' in a better world of the one we are living,so we want to have the best items in game(we know we will never get any best item in real life)and this gives a sense of joy to most of people.

So many things can be explained from the 'no one' dagger. It could someone's alt; someone in top pvp clan went red and dropped their gear, then he/she (either on main or alt) picked it up and selling it (not like it didn't happen on the recent double exp event in Chronos... :rolleyes:).
Also, why only a helmet? If that 'casual' player (which you claim to be) have the top of the top armor and want to get prepared for GoD, wouldn't he be selling a set of armor be it rare/normal/mixture? Unfortunately, your example just doesn't add up as you claim it should be. More examples welcome though :)

I understand that... I am a casual player now, and I want to be able to get vorpal set fully elemented, vesper weapon with SA 300, and full epics for my toon; but nvm... at my rate of casual gaming, I doubt I'll get that before GoD goes live in NA and which is the reality of the game QQ
