I think this is the one for the US nay-sayers about adding items hop to NCWest servers:
MMORPG.com: When your press release says “Completely†Free to Play, how exactly do you mean? Obviously the game has to earn money somehow, so what will players be spending their dollars on?
Nico Coutant &
Matt Turetzky: Truly Free means that other than L2 Store items, Lineage II: Goddess of Destruction is completely free to play. There are no limits on access to character creation, races, classes, skills, zones, bosses, quests, clans, crafting, warehouse, auction house, chat, mail, forums, customer support, and so on. This more closely resembles the Freemium model than the typical ‘Free to Play’ model used by other MMOs. The L2 Store™ will offer items to supplement your gameplay in the form of XP and Skill Point boosts, potions, buffs and other consumable supplies, as well as cosmetic items and hunting helpers…all of which are completely optional.
No further info there, but it would really not surprise me if the whole original (Russian L2 used) item shop is implemented, including the DIAMOND scrolls... *just speculating though*

don't think so as they explicitly mention their model will be based on the Korean one and not Innova.
I dont know about you but i have to major concerns
Q: Will current, former, and new players play together on the same servers?
A: Yes. When Goddess of Destruction launches, current players will remain on their current servers. Additional servers will be added to accommodate the influx of new players and returning former players. After launch, if you decide to resettle your character to another server, you will be able to purchase a character transfer.
Into the brand new sever on the first day will have 1-2 parties 85 who will rule the entire server? and ofcourse that will lead to lots of RMT
There is one more question that i have and cant find the answer. NCSoft West will keep the ***** GameGuard or will move to Frost. If they will continue using the GG how they will fight with the cheaters. Right now bots are not so big problem but when server is F2P and a regular player cant find a spot because of bots .. that will be a problem.
On other side the PvP chaters ppl who using L2Control or zRanger they rune entire fun from the pvp. When you have to fight not vs one party but vs entire clan with synced scripts .. that is too much.
Frost doesn't stop the pvp cheating.. and pretty sure there wont be server transfers to the new freshly opened ones untill the majority of that server hits 85 just like they did in the past with Teon/Franz/Luna...
DemiGoth -btw... this is not NCWest's decision. May I suggest that you direct your full anger towards NCK; they are the ones that hold all the cards on what NCWest does.

Hi Cabbie,
what u expect in this forum? Maybe ppls who will publish recent news out of first hand ? never ever!! So why YOU revise Demi's opinion then ?
Demi use this Forum in a way, it has to be used to be: He gave a statement, and maybe he will get an offical answer. But why the heck YOU gave a kind of official answer to demis statement? You just guess what MAYBE happend, but im pretty sure u have no idea what happend realy.
so pls dont excuse ppl who dont answer questions in the forum. Its not ure task imo.
gz, and cu in ingame, depending what way to pay u choose...
I keep hearing that about ncwest/chronos not going to this innova model, and using the korean model of free to play, and tried to dig around and find the differences between the two flavors... But most found epeen contests, and gloom and doom for naia. Anyone know some of the differences between the two flavors? Besides the obvious, that one is russian and not ncsoft related, and the other is the parent company?
Can anyone answer it mine question? (I mean Sace/Moxie/Mod1/LinMod?).
I guess GoD is coming Dec/January. (as Olympiad Hero is frozen)
OK.
It become F2P.
OK.
What is going to happen with current subscriptions (those 3 months )?
I have subscription paid till Feb 2012....
Any answer to that?
Do I get NC Coins?
Do I get title Fool of a Year?
Do I get ...?
This is what i have asked already on the "payment event" aka "loyality subscribtion".
The answer was that they cant tell anything cos its not finalized.
We will get the answer "soon"
(Oh w8, Necro Prince dont know that word... hmm wonder which word we will read ^^)

Q: I'm currently a Lineage II subscriber. What happens to me when Goddess of Destruction launches?
A: All current Lineage II subscribers automatically become free players when Goddess of Destruction launches. Any remaining prepaid game time on your account is converted to NCoin that you can use in the L2 Store. Unused time is converted to an equivalent dollar value and exchanged for the same dollar value of NCoin.
There will be some problems with converting time into NCoins, some ppl payd in Euros, some Payd in USD, all will be converted in USD and then put into accounts, or it will be considered as days of play, all in dollars and added to the account ? Because for years Euro ppl payd more than the US ones, for example, for worse services.
I expect big problems at launch, heck, remember the mergers and you will understand what I mean.
Therefore I stopped all subscription and they will all expire till GoD launch, be it in december or january.
I think it is better this way to save yourself the potential trouble...
M
dont u prepare already for innova?...why u waste time on forum?....btw didnt new that romanians are so qqers
I guess they will take all the days you have paid for already, convert they into dollars (using the $0.5 a day rate, as 30 days = $15) and give that value in NCoins to your account.

I have to put more days into my account...
Monica, is that you?
We have been missing you around here... :)

Pfft speak for yourself. I just reported her for violating the terms of use and Eula. Hoping to see her banned again by end of the day.

Awwww c'mon... Will I be the only Text Wall Writer in this place?
I missed the times she'd come against me with a wall and we had a wall discussion... That days the time passed faster here at work.... :rolleyes:
Actually, i try to do my best not to commit any infractions and, besides disagreeing with me, Monica haven't done a thing against me, so I can't blame her at all...
Also, she has a strong position about Bots and (tearing the QQ apart) she is kinda right. Legits are running away... We either stay or run with them... Not a harsh decision, if you ask me...
A game full of cheaters is still better than no game at all... Until the love for Lineage 2 runs dry, I'll still be playing this...
I have a very nice collection of saved posts to show to the Koreans in case they missed them, because Sace's theory was that if they ban ppl that talk about bots the others will be afraid and it wont happen anymore, [...]
Korea has bots. What do you expect from Korea?
BTW it's NCW, not NCI (or NCIS while you're at it).
