My clan leader was talking to me about this earlier this morning. I find this ridiculous, there is a very select few people who are going to be on during christmas, and for all I know that select few actually might be the majority. It's not fair for those of us who want to spend time with family during the holiday. :(
Lineage 2 never cared for holidays, weekly schedule never accommodated for seasonal holidays. And to be honest I don't see why it should.
If you want to spend time with your family, do that, it's a choice you make, some choices have consequences.
By no means am I implying you made the wrong choice, It's just the way it is.
Yup, L2 never changed siege times just for a holiday. We once had castle sieges on the evening of Dec 31st when 99% of the players were out partying ...
Not that I think they SHOULD change the times. Either your real life is more important, then you go visit your family. Or the game is more important, then you siege a castle with few defenders :) Not everybody cares about holidays, some would like to play L2 that day, so let them.
