Many many thanks Sace!! I'm really happy with all the work we are seeing these days!!

Just a question: Do you have, by any chance, a website / link / whatever that has all the lore upgraded? The official one on Lineage II website isn't updated to High Five is it? I became curious once I readed the GoD lore... Do you have a place where all is updaded to that point?

Many thanks!

We not have a place online where there is lore up to GD. Actually, many of the last updates we've had included very little lore. The lore that it did include is found on the patch notes pages. For example, in the Freya section, you can read the story of Freya and how she came to be. GD is bringing a lot more lore, so once that is launched it will be more feasible to create an updated lore collection. It's something I personally would like to do.
News Informer and Event Gatekeeper



The News Informer can reset a character's Seven Signs Quest status.

is that wright we can reset the seven signs and if so dose that mean the 81 quest too?
Ach I'm sorry, that was a mistake left over from the old Player App page. We were not able to get the news informer NPC back this time around. :( I'm fixing the error right now.

Thanks Sace, I wondered if there was at least more lore updated acording to the second saga, but it's fine. When I have time I will read throught all the lore available and follow the patch notes one by one...

I just love the lore of this game and I've only read the prelude!
Thank you for the event again :)

And after get killed by Trex too many times, I will love the No Xp Loss :P
Raid Boss Respawn Time Reduced by 50%

Anybody knows if we can kill Zaken every 24h then?
Thanks.
:( no vit again :(

WUhooo TY, I hope I'll be a little closer to 85 even if I am far away
:( no vit again :(

Really!?!?

No XP loss, double xp/sp and drops, free ports, and gm buffs (which help those of us that may not have a buffer), and you still have to chime in to complain?

I was blown away when I saw the event details, and if they keep doing things like this, we may actually see the game turn around.

Nice work guys, keep these events coming!
Heeey, invite on this event our old friend Jack the Sage please :D ;) I miss him ^^
Raid Boss Respawn Time Reduced by 50%

Anybody knows if we can kill Zaken every 24h then?

If it is like last time, this only affects the respawn rate of standard raid bosses, not the instance timer for the instanced bosses. I.e. Zaken/Frint/Freya etc. should stay the same.
Seems like I must delevel a little before event.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Thanks Sace!
Sooo awesome! Thank you! ^_^
are you guys going to do buffs and vit restore like u did in the recent double xp week?

This.

BIG THX for this crazy and sick event ;)

Question: Will be the time limits for Raids be reduced too?
Would be cool to farm Zaken every day easily ^^
What, no Boss Jewels in our warehouse inventory?

Mid-July kicks off a new Player Appreciation Week ! This week of special game settings includes a Vitality refill at the event start, double XP/SP, free Gatekeeper teleports, no XP loss on death, double drop/spoil rates, and raid boss spawn times reduced by half. It begins just after the regular server maintenance on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 and ends with the server maintenance on Wednesday, July 20, 2011

there's somewhere something horrible wrong :confused:

Or does that mean we get 2 Weeks double XP/SP? :)

Double xp was originally planned for after the bunny event. Since that was postponed, they pushed double xp week up. The correct date is July 6th start.
:( no vit again :(

We will be refilling vitality during maintenance, so make sure you use it up before Wednesday morning.

The correct dates for the Player Appreciation Week are July 6 to July 13. Oddly, my newsletters (I get 2 copies of them) both say the correct dates. Somehow you seem to have gotten the old version. o.O Really weird, I've emailed the newsletter folks about this.
I would like to ask about the Revita Pops, Chocolate Cakes and Christmas Cakes.

I have more than 400 from these items.

So I would like to ask, that these will work in the Goddess of Destruction or not?

Because if not I use up them under the event, but if they work I keep them to the Goddess of Destruction and another upcoming expansions.

Sace or Moxie, can I get answer to my question?:)
hello maybe i am blind or somehow my hangover is still on but i didnt saw answer for 1 important question-
There will be gm buffs + vit refills during the double xp week like last time or not ?
If not tell me why?
If yes try to make some hours when u can meet gms because siting and w8 for refill which is not happening is rly annoying.

If no, it may be because it's a GM Event which is not granted each time you want it :rolleyes:

I'm always on Vit 0 / Vit 1 max, so no need to deplete it anyway ;-) But I'll change to my sub and use the last of my current Vit 1 for it ;)

And TY for full vit! Will GMs also come to the server to buff and replenish vit like they did with the priviouse double XP week?
ye but i asked if the GM stuff will be refiling gm during week like last time.

Tbh I can't understand what you ask ..

It' clear that GM's will be refilling Vit and giving buffs .. Is there anything more ?

i wana some confirmation from Sace :)
but i hope u are right :)
WTB 2x/4x drops instead of 2x xp ;)
WTB 2x/4x drops instead of 2x xp ;)

4x would be an OverKill... I'm afraid of what would become of the market with smt like that...
just trying to point out that adena is more needed than xp, especially with so much vit events/stuff lately.

Yeah, I totally agree with you... I'm suffering of lack of adena because of that too... still I just think 4x would be over kill to the market, whichi will become flooded with boss jewels and stuff... Just a remark tho... 4x adena would help me to catch up with my grade...
Regarding GM buffs and vitality refills during the double XP week: as always, they are a courtesy, a gift, which means they not guaranteed and they will not follow a schedule. But whenever possible, we do come onto the server and give them out. :)
Thanks! We appreciate everything you guys(and gals) do for us even though we may forget to thank you at times.

Hope you guys let your weekend aside a little and buff us on that time too :rolleyes:

Jokes apart, thank you Sace and the rest of NCSoft team, for your efforts on trying to keep us alive in this game and trying to get more people inside.
Hi folks,

The Player Appreciation Week begins tomorrow, yay! :D

We've changed Angel Cat a bit for this event. He will now be giving 1 character per server per account 7 buff potions (was only 4 before)!

However, his little cat backpack is a bit small and he can only fit in 4 buff potions at a time. So from Wednesday July 6 to Sunday July 10, Angel Cat will be in town and will give you 4 buff potions. Then on Sunday he'll make a brief absence, and when he returns (still on Sunday July 10) he'll give you the other 3 buff potions, making a total of 7.

So why I got only 2? Oo

atm I have 6 buff items.
wanna ask if vit will be refilled after maintenance

If you mean that vitality will be refilling with the maintenance, yes. That means that you will have full vitality when you log in after the maintenance.

i must say im REALLY confused with this...because :

cat gave me 3 times 2 buff items...with EXACT 48 hour cooldown
nvm :) find it

Awesome if Cryo will be on a couple of times again. Vit 4 is cool to get after maintenance, but after 1 hour of FoG / GC it's gone already :( I'd make good use of the replenished vit each time Cryo hops to FI ;)

ah only 6 here :P, lucky bastard :P
Can I suggest something for next Double XP week, how about 1/2 priced Nevit's Hourglass during the event. We could all get ready for GoD by release date and not be completely poor when we get there.

Sorry to say, but you get again 1 full week of 2x XP + vit restore while downtime + GM buffs + vit restore from GM's during it + some buff pots and now you want more???

I can understand, that its a bit sad for newer players, that such a big update like GoD comes and they will need a bit longer to get to that lvl.
But with GoD release xping will be lot faster again.

Else NC should make every1 instant 85, but before that i am for a server wipe. Think would be lot of fun to hunt all the "old places" again and get the nostalgic feeling during :D
Well, it is not like GM buffs and vit refills are on a schedule. I received exactly 3 gm buffs the previous XP week due to the fact I can not camp out on L2 24/7 only to then run like made to FI only to get stuck there for 10 minutes because the area is over run with players. It would save a lot of aggravation for the GM's to skip the buffs and give us the half price hourglass IMO. We have clannies that can buff.
We have clannies that can buff.

Althought they can't vit... or can they? :D

I guees their buffs aren't all +30, lasting 1 hour now are they?

Would be nice to have dances/sogns for one hour but everything is pretty enough for now ^^
We want tradable revita pops! :D
If this still goes one, someone will just ask to have a week as a GM...
We want tradable revita pops! :D

+1 to that! My main only has 1 left, one account has none at all while my 3rd account has 9 left and not really using them (being boxed and leech doesn't eat vit as fast as being in battle on main char)
Althought they can't vit... or can they? :D


They could give us Vit Maintenance potions. Or better yet MORE RE-VITA POPS!!!!! And Vit cookies and sugar plums and Vit pixie dust and all that ship.
:D
It only let me take the cat buff poitions once the first time around. feelsbadman
He wrote AFTER, so i think he dont means WITH ^^ The Question looks more like if you do vit refill during the week.

I'd answered that question yesterday as well. :) Here's the quote from that:

The Angel Cat Reward NPC has surprised us all with his behavior this past week. It seems that, in introducing him earlier than planned, we did not yet fully understand how he functions. While this past week has been odd, and we are still investigating some of his weirdness, we are confident that we know how he will behave during the Player Appreciation Week: he'll be on for the first 4 days and will give 4 buff potions to one character per account per server. On Sunday July 10, he'll take a quick break to refill his cat backpack and he'll be back that same day, and stay for the next three days until the next maintenance, and give 3 more buff potions to one character per account per server. That will make a total of 7 buff potions for Player Appreciation Week.

Of course, if your character(s) receive more or different amounts than the above prediction, let us know. :)

The only question is where is the cat and why is Npc info manager there instead when you said it won't be here?

I like Npc manager info :P

The Event Gatekeeper is there because he can provide free teleports. The News Informer felt left out, so he was included also. But please note that this particular News Informer does not come with the epic quest reset option. He's just the same guy as we saw after High Five; he'll tell you about the 'new' zones and what not. We are not able to get a News Informer that resets the epic quest at this time.

As for Angel Cat, he'll be on the server shortly, he needs a personal invitation. XD
...The News Informer felt left out, so he was included also. ...

I do think we have to remember that even NPC's like to enjoy the game, and are not always there to cater to our needs.

I remember there was this one time back at ABandoned Camp with Greyclaw Kutus, oh wait, that was a private moment between the raid and I.

I do see that you can 'Reset your Subclass Cerification Skills" which is totally awesome.
Thank you Sace :)

Is it only me or that means that you did want the Epic reset option but some glitch prevented it ? And that your intention is to bring the option once more ? Can we hope for it later when the glitch is resolved ?

TY for the events, the buffs and the fast responses
Really is double drop/spoil? Adena is really double, but drop is embarrassingly weak (before we 6 - 8 fire stone and 6 - 8 GC per hour, new 1 - 2 fire stone and 1 - 2 per hour). honestly do not understand anything, or was this strategy that NCsoft will be more attractive. :mad:

Oh my god, you all think that double drop will make the rain of element stones :P There is not much difference on spots like delusion, GC upper, lower, DoE with stone drop cause from for example 2 or 4 % (GC) or 0.5 - 1% is not that huge boost O.o
There is difference when stone drop is higher than at least 10%, but we all know it's korean random and sometimes you may not feel double drop :)
What does double rate? The drop is reduced by 50% . I noticed that after a day and I do not think I am wrong.
Do not make a drama out of it I said I just noticed.
Good event so far, the major highlight is the 0xp loss on death, meaning PvP is more open to everyone to enjoy, and tough PvE areas can be fully explored for those too shy beforehand :)

Played 20 minutes yesterday and got twice mats on the mobs I usually kill than before...

Guess it is up to the "Korean Random Factor" after all...
Is anyone on Chronos only getting one event potion? I got one on Chronos, four on Naia.
Got 4 on each server for each account yesterday.

I only got 1 too
The Heavenly Envoy was giving 1 potion for several hours due to a problem with the NPC server. We gave him a time out for a few minutes this morning, so he should now be giving 4 potions again.

-Moxie
It's funny how NC staff keep reffering the Angel Cat NPC as if it was actually a PC (getting tired, needing to rest, etc) I just find it very funny :)
They need to get one of those spray bottles give that cat a face full of water!!!

It was a glitch that the News Informer appeared at all. It is not a glitch that he cannot reset the epic quest. We knew he couldn't reset the epic quest and didn't have much use otherwise, so we weren't planning to include him, but he showed up anyways. What a rebel. We do not currently have any plans or news about if the epic quest reset option might be available again.

Is anyone on Chronos only getting one event potion? I got one on Chronos, four on Naia.

We've noticed this as well and we believe that it was because of a brief NPC crash on Chronos about 12 hours ago, resetting Angel Cat's timer/behavior. We've respawned him about 1 hour ago and he is now giving how 4 potions again.

However:


If you collected your 4 buff potions before the NPC crash 12 hours ago, Angel Cat will not give you more (you've already collected your 4).
If you haven't collected anything from him since maintenance yesterday, you will be able to get 4 buff potions from Angel Cat (on one character per server per account). You will be in no danger of receiving only 1.
If you have received only 1 buff potion since maintenance yesterday, that means you collected that potion after the NPC crash. Unfortunately, us respawning him still recognizes that you 'collected your gift' and he will not give you anymore. If you collected only 1, we will compensate you the other 3 buff potions. To get your other 3 potions, you need to submit a support ticket (https://help.ncsoft.com/app/ask) so that the GMs can verify the error and compensate you. When you submit the ticket, write "Lineage II Gameplay Support – Angelcat" in the subject line.


Remember, this issue only effected Chronos. Naia players should have received their 4 potions as expected.

They need to get one of those spray bottles give that cat a face full of water!!!

Lol! Yeah, he's becoming a bit of a nuisance. Maybe we'll rename him to Brat Cat. (just kidding, we won't)

aaaaawwwwwwwwww... :(, you really should...

After all, we all know angels are naughty creatures that love to play around and annoy humans... Take Cupid for an example.

I think Cupid was a cherub more than an angel. I might agree that cherubs are mischievous. Look (http://www.lineage2.com/archive/global/uploads/Vday_agathion.png) at that conniving face, and he's armed, too! :D

Sace log in !!!
We need vitality :D :D
Thanks for this long event :)
First Thank you for the event. Been some awsome evenings.
Second, this is so funny about the NPCs. From the outside looking in, it is too funny to see them fighting to get back on the server. Maybe they are real and demand attention from time to time from you all.

After all the cat is but a new comer and now all the old ones are tired of being shut up in their bit closet and want to come out and play with us.

Thanks again!!!!

Oh, and I got a sweet shot of sace giving buffs in fantisy land the other night. Sweet toon my lady!
This cat doesnt love me,everytime i go speak to her she says no.

All this week,i took 1 day star buffs i think. :(

Maybe you girls can put those star buffs straight in our invetory? :)
Stop picking them up on alts?

It's per account, not char.
Really cool event.Thnx.
I earned 15% on lvl 85 in 3 hours duoing with my dc (main had bday buff + nevit ).So no matter if you need exp or just farm sp,this event saves you BIG time:)
I already got 8 buffs this week :) sunday afternoon got 1 and sunday evening another 3.
Just want to say THANKS to the GMs for all the nice buffs and Vita refreshes, esp. the one on your very early sunday morning for Chronos - much appreciated. :)
Thx for GM buffs at 02:00 AM on Naia server, like most other days also :mad:
(I like the re-vit and dont rly need the GM Buffs, but some players rly could use them)

It was nice for the players playing late, or others countries on EU Server. Thank you, and it's not ironic from me :)
Well i dont think that too many will play at 02:00+++ during the week cos of work/school (maybe if u take a week free cos of 2x XP ^^).
And not too many in the EU have rly a timezone that fits that buff time.

Well, you can't guess such things. You may be right yes, but there are some people, and they deserve to get buffs too :)
Which time zones would benefit from GM Buffs at 02:00 AM gmt+2 ?
I am all for a EU timezone GM !!!! But wont happen.

(and pls no comments about its an US game, so deal with. Else a EU server wouldnt make sense also)

I would. I'm Brazilian. That time is when I got my GM buffs on Chronos. Exactly that time.

I live neither on NA nor on EU, I could perfectly play on Naia, the distance isn't that different.

BTW, in BRT (GMT -3), that was 21:00...

The fact I don't play on Naia (yet) don't change the fact that I would be really happy with buffs at that time in case I was playing on Naia...

But, yes, they should log in earlier too... maybe 20:00 GMT and then 00:00 GMT? (22:00 and 02:00 GMT +2)
Thx for GM buffs at 02:00 AM on Naia server, like most other days also :mad:
(I like the re-vit and dont rly need the GM Buffs, but some players rly could use them)

Thing that bothers me is that they don't buffing sieges, because GM's aren't allow to interfere with gameplay. I completely agree and understand this decision. BUT the last 2 or 3 (including this one) are held during Euro Siege weeks which are one week off from the US Sieges. Giving US-server players an unfair advantage over EU-server players. Because US don't lose 6-8hrs of exp because of TW+Sieges.
Is the lag that bad for EU players on Chronos? I've seen a lot of QQ about Naia don't getting what Chronos does...

Giving the small number of players on both, I suppose they should merge the servers once again... this time for only one server. Get the Naias money and build something good with a good internet link so EU players don't get lag and done. ^^

Or just Host it on GreenLand, which is midway.

I have no lag tho I live on Brazil, which is further than EU from Dallas, TX

please DONT do gm buffs during olympiad time, you're killing the oly with this. Everytime you log in, not even 1 wave pushes for the next hour and half.
Event is cool, but find better times to throw gm buffs.

Rabbits still not rabid and on rampage..? :D

TY for an other week of double-XP. Now I can surely hit 83 minimum, perhaps even 84 or 85 (one can dream...)
TY for another double-exp week but anyone know if there are double drop,double adena, gm buff and vit refill?


Thx for all ;)
yes!!! awesome news! :D thx a lot!

but please GMs, come more often on Naia for Vit refill.
each 2 hours would be great. *cough* :D :o
84,51% I will be 85 with this extention!!!! TY Sace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TY for another double-exp week but anyone know if there are double drop,double adena, gm buff and vit refill?


Thx for all ;)

The double drops and adena will stay in place. Don't know if Vit will be refilled when we log in after the down time. I'm sure they'll do GM buffs every now and again too.
Thanks for doing this!

This.

With all Inquisitor thing and Double Xp Week I guess my BP will overthrow my AW as my main...
Cardis FTW, gogoo Luxiel and make bp your main :D
5 vita pops/maintaining pots would be amazing!

My new toon was started recently as well and has no vitality items :(
Cardis FTW, gogoo Luxiel and make bp your main :D

I guess that is what will happen. I'm loving being some sort of a nuker for a while! Can't wait to become a healer... (not too much parties at lvl 48 :()

But, yes, I'm loving all the things around them (Cardis). I just love Light vs. Dark things, maybe I'll make a SoulHound latter, just to taste the other side...
Its great new because now i might even ding 80 on my sub :D
Hope you visit Naia soon Sace so we can dance :D
Btw, your on one of my screenies, check www.l2pink.com :D

Thank you for the extended PAW, it's amazing ^^ I'm already 85, and I will up my subs to 80 with this new week ^^

Woah, Sace is so pretty... :)
Thanks Sace, Moxie, team!

I should be able to at least reach 84, maybe 85? The bad news (for me) is that I blew out my disc and had surgery a week ago [I've broken probably 50 bones in my body - nothing hurt as bad as that] powerlifting and aggrevating an old rugby injury (used to play for a Big Ten school). So, I'm stuck on my back for at least 2 weeks (tho still doing some work at home).

The good news is, it just happens to be Player Appreciation week - which just got extended. So, got my 6-year old laptop to play while watchin' TV (and the kids, when I can). I leveled more in the last 5 days since surgery than i have in the last 6 months. Thanks Sace and team. It sucks getting sliced open like that, but this event sure helpls! :)
I must say I am quite impressed with the transparency and rapid response to player feedback these days. And the efforts for the events of course.

This is a very welcome change from the previous 6-7 years.
Thanks for the event :)

Sace, 5 revita pops and especially 5 or more vita maintanance pots would be awesome :)

+1 to this.
From 82 to 84 17,02% in this week
Im ready for 85 SE power !!
From 82 to 84 17,02% in this week

+1 to that. SE's are my (2nd) favorate class of all time (my main on this account is a new SE from Anniversary Event). One of my closest friends in game was a SE - from C1-C5+, named "Unem". She was from North Africa, moved to Canada, and eventually to the U.S. Quite a story there - best person ever to have in a group.

I know i ***** a bunch on here, but sure appreciate this Sace and everyone else from NCNW. Now, if there was just some way to make adena for the average player - that would fix things a lot [I just want to be able to afford S80 and S84 - mid grade items]. I know I'm still complainin', but I still think that if there was an easier way to get gear (or get money to get gear), this game's popularity would just explode! Top gear should be hard to get (you guys that spend hours and hours each day, do deserve the top stuff if you're doing the top raids and stuff), but S80 and Mid-S84 (esp. now with GoD coming), should be attainable for someone dedicating 20hrs (okay, maybe 25hrs) per week of game play. I don't know the answer - more events like this? (sure helps), other special events like the Bunny Event, quests taht give more adena/good gear, or a minimall shop to buy some things (really, just getting the SA Crystal and S Gems for an SA - if that were simpler, and getting things like Elemental Crystals) - would help. I may be simple minded (okay, maybe I was invited to join Mensa - or whatever it's called, i belong to more academic and leadership honoraries than i can count), but just making good gear more attainable for someone who still wants to play, but can only commit 20 hrs a week [and who doesn't want to spend a ton on adena shops] seems like such a simple solution to really expand the attraction to keep playing.

End rant. Thanks for the event Sace and company. Speaking (a bit) for those who don't visit the forums much, and have limited time to play, we really appreciate this. It means agreat deal - especially for those of use in smaller clans, and trying to help new/returning players to enjoy the game, and keep up their interest.
first, I`ll say thx for this double xp weeks, its really a good thing at all...

BUT, I really cant understand why we (I can only write for Naia server) get soooo bad help on weekends ... on weekends most ppl have most time to play (me too). I waited whole day now for new vita and gm buffs, and what happend? nothing ... not 1 time buffs on saturday so far, and the day is near finished in europe. I dont want to QQ but I cant understand it. You dont need to come every time for 20 min, when you say its "weekend" 5 min would be enough for more then the half server.

Im little disappointed at all.

now flame me if you want. ;-) I dont care.

- edit -

Thank you sace, if you readed my post or not, 15 mins after posting it, you came to buff. ;-)

You are wrong m8. GM came at least couple of times each day.
How about another week? I've just returned to L2 after 7 years and it is nice to be able to level so quickly to try and catch up with everyone. I want to get high so I can start participating in the castle sieges again.

Sieges are such a blast.:)

Hi everyone,

Check out the Player Appreciation Week (http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2011/07/player_apprecia_3.html)part 2 event page and read all the details. It begins next Wednesday! :)

I dare you to extend it until the end of July. I double dog dare ya! :)

THATS 4:30am IN EUROPE, are you just rly serious?
thats just "**** you all european players, NA ftw" said by GMs

rly rly rly
A big thank you to the Community and Event team for organizing this. Sadly, I missed the first week but the Double XP/Money, Vit. refresh, and GM buffs were more than enough to rekindle my love for Lineage 2.

You folks are doing a stand-up job.
