Hot?...pfft, it's 7 degrees here, with snow on the ground...
Oh yeah back to the topic. I try a couple times to log in, and when it dosent work, I move on. It makes no sense to spam the login servers, if I get in I get in, if not? then I can find something else to do. This is a game, and while I enjoy it, it doesnt rule everything I do. So, it's no use getting upset over something you can't control. Everyone has thier own solution to the "problems" but until an actual fix can be implemented, and not a band-aid, im content to just wait it out.
Wanna trade? I'll take snow anytime!
And I suppose the log-in problem is a bit worse than the ss-lag problem. With the SS, at least we HOPE sometime there will be a fix.
Naia however will always be full because it's, for now, the only place you can go for Euro-times. And even if the polls change the times for other servers, most people won't want to leave their friends/clan/chars of years.
Read in another thread there weren't enough complaints, well
Here's mine
9:30 pm GMT+1... busy hour on servers
shots not working and laggy as ****
fix it

So it's complicated.
Snow isn't bad until it turns to ice, then the fun begins.
Naia at the moment is the only EU timed server. I think there should be at least 1-2 more EU timed servers than NA timed servers to cover the massive influx of EU people coming to the game. There should be at least 3 NA servers and 4-5 EU timed servers, also for the time being there should be a lock on new character creations on both Chronos and Naia, so the population can even itself out for a while.
Well, if NCSoft listens to ALL the polls, all servers will end up with EU times anyway :p It's how well things are working, I suppose... those polls are terrible to vote at and they're definitely not a good way to decide the fate of a server, especially the old ones.
I dont realy understand why ncsoft cant keep spot for ppl who payed for this game for years . All other new *** just stay on login screen , they r useless anyways.
Those polls are easily rigged to go one way or the other. All you have to do is have a lvl 40 char on a server and you have a vote, thats easily a couple hours max to rig a server vote. hell I made a lvl 40 char on every server in less than a day, but I only voted on my main server, how many can say they only voted for their server?

O rly? Without new people L2 would have shut down forever.

You are obviously clueless or just a kid :) Pick a side :)
It's not the new guys keeping you <GREAT OLD PLAYER> away from logging in game, rather than the countless bots..
Use your brain.. I dedicate to you my signature.. it always proves me right! :)
NCWest is in control of the servers technical stuff (i.e. lag, crashes, etc.). NCKorea is in charge of updates and installing new patches and content and basically what we can or can't do in the game (i.e. anti bot measures (lulz), new hats, balance (lulz). You're contacting NCWest if you've used the U.S. Euro site. It would be ******ed if you contacted the Korean devs, b/c they don't control the technical issues on the west servers.
I used to solo Altar of Evil at LVL 80.
Since ~1 week (SS lag), I'm not able to do it anymore, I'm dying.
Since ~1 week (SS lag), I'm playing GUITAR HERO.
Well first of all, you really shouldn't have been there at 80.
But that said... you're not the first, or the last to do that... anyways...
SS lag is discouraging indeed. I am usually (usually being the keyword) a positive girl that tries to see the good sides of things but I'm starting to be a bit discouraged now.
Can I borrow the mob's shots? They work...
Even so they still won't work for you, as mobs are on NPC server, which doesn't lag, lol.
Sorry to ruin your hopes. :D
But you can still request to transform your char into a mob ^^

Bah it was worth the try....
Oh! Can I become Zaken? Please! <3 No, wait, make me a new raid boss, Zaken's wife... :D
PS: ANother thing. Is there ANY way to stop announcements on Chronos until lag is fixed? I mean... seriously, your announcement LAG US...
I think ncsoft has been caught with their pants down. They did not expect a successful launch of f2p for such an old game. They're running a skeleton crew and the people in charge are just house keeping. Kinda like the CEO of burger king.
Give them a little more time to sort it out. Will not be surprised if the koreans start sending people over soon.
At the meantime I'm not buying anything that I think isn't going to work. 7 hour rune no way.... 3 hour rune...maybe. 1 hour runes definitely. Given the current situation.
Incidentally 7 day rune makes no sense since the server maintenance takes away quite a bit of hours.
there wasnt no ss lag on naia during event and now it is also working ok, though once or twice per evening some server lag can be felt for second or two. if ss lag on other servers, mb it is weak hardware :rolleyes:
Got home from work and did my normal stuff.
Decided i felt like xp'ing a little. But found i wasn't able to login at "prime time" due to server full. :rolleyes:
Went and did some other stuff and different games.
Came back in the late evening for a short 1 hr xp sesh. Found i couldn't xp with no shots. :mad:
In a way i'm glad its this bad, at least it guarantee's server population will drop sooner or later.....and rapidly at that.

What is wierd about it, it's that I work till midnight (canada eastern time).
I play from midnight to 4h00 of the morning.
I'm still able to connect (100%), but the lag is terrible even in night.
U cry all day long about bots , when hundreds and thousands of ppl just loged 24/7 , cuz of this mentor system . I wanna see the same number of bots around the server , mby u will find 200-300 of bots . This mentor system for private server **** to get 86 . Who wont pay anything sinc they didnt pay 10-20eu in last years for offical server and played on every random FREE server , just bcoz its free.

Clearly you know nothing!!
And you don't like searching through forum to update yourself...
Bots in Naia ( and in all servers) are 25-30% of population.
Naia is always full of 6000 ppl. If you went to school you can do the math.
Take the average 25-30=27,5
27,5*6000/100 = 1650 bots won't let you play. We don't cry. It's the truth!
NCsoft tweeted 4 days ago that the problem had been found for the lagging issues yet we all STILL experience them. For the community of L2 please have the decency to keep us updated with what is going on. Have you found the problem? Can it be fixed? When will it be fixed? If you do or dont know please keep us in the loop. Personally I'm not bothered about compensation i just want to play the game like the good old days.
L2 going F2P = Jumping the Shark. How interesting. Watch, NCSoft will bring down the servers for an insane amount of time (I'd predict 1 week) to find that piece of code that some ajack hacker uploaded in the game's cmdline and hem and haw on if it's too late to go back to P2P (subscription or serial code). Bring back P2P, NCSoft. Save what is left of your game and morale of your loyal players before you lose them to private servers or other MMO's that will gladly take thier money to prevent this fiasco happening to them.
Possible lag reason
I think reason of last SS lags is Museum system
SS lags appeared after first restart at 4th January (when fragments of light stop drop)
After this restart museum start working. I think there some mistakes how server gather and operate with Statistic info. There is millions of characters on server and for all of them museum gather statistic.
Also many players can notice that after game Announcement Spam SS start lag more hardly. Look likes every hour there is starting process to update Museum statistic.
GM Team, check this possible reason. Also you can turn off museum for a week, to look if it was real reason.

Since the game development plataform as changed to Java and the implementation of Lineage Chronicle 2 - Age of Splendor of Destruction you are not able to use soulshots.
Sace Please do something for "high server trafic" ;/ i am trying to log to naia for 1 hour and nothing... plz do something its rediculus... tnx very much.. :)
Lol, there is no fix, aside from moving to a new server. Once the server hits its limit, that's it. It's not a bug or a flaw, just a problem that to many people want to play on the same server.

good luck if you plan to move to a different server. this problem is general all all servers. On a different server you may even have non working soulshots, huge lag and non functional NPCs. Good luck:rolleyes:
Maybe if NC Soft got with the 21st century and implemented a system that would hold your place in line when trying to log on (like every other MMO on the market) we wouldn't have such an issue...
They do not have this problem in Korea so as far as NCsoft is concerned there is nothing to be fixed. Unless it suits the needs if the Korean market you will never see it happen.
Please, please, please, can you stop announcements on Chronos until the lag is fixed? Please? Everytime we have an announcement, we have a long period of 30s shot lag... It's not a joke...

+1 to this as at the very least it does contribute to the overall slow down/poor performance of the game server..
I'm asking because we don't have any news since like 1 week. Do they have issues to log in too ? Hello ?? Someone here ??? :eek:
I never saw a such a lack of communication, this awesome, really.
/discuss with staff (oh... wait !)
* AT LEAST TELL US you are brainstorming for a solution (hint : split NAIA into 2 servers) !
* AT LEAST TELL US if you don't care because ******s spend so much $$$ in DEWR that you don't need your customers for the next couple of months !
The problem is easy and it may come from one of these reasons:
-no box limits,so everyone can log infinite toons;or better as many as their pc can handle
-low caring of bots by ncsoft side.Yesterday i saw tons of lv 1 dwarfs in gludio staying all behind the other and 1 other dropping no stop adena on ground....really sad that ncsoft can't take care serious actions against bots.Bots do not require 3d graphic to log in...so even 15 character scan be logged with bot programs.Find a way to stop botting and u solved login issue.
3 weeks passed and still Soulshots lag and rest lags in servers remain.
NCwest staff, are you unable to fix these kind of problems your game has? You are supposed to have programmers, who are supposed to know their work... If they are unable to do properly their work then fire them, and hire new ones.
You really think that after this whole NCmess, world-wide players will choose NCwest for their "future" on-line gaming fun, with this crap service?
I think you are a big company, with some kind of good programmers etc... Wtf is this problem? Not even in private servers there is not this kind of crap service. I know L2 is f2p now but don't show much to community that the only thing this company cares is, "yes its time to go home... yeah its friday, we go home for weekend"... DO THE JOB THAT YOU ARE HIRED TO DO!
I hope these few sentences are not be noticed only by forum moderators, who's not their fault (this whole situation), but from be noticed by NCwest managers..
If u dont have the machines to host this kind of MMORPG, then close this idiot kind of "online gaming company", or try to upgrade your systems/machines.
Almost a whole MONTH playing without soulshots... This is ******* EPIC FAIL!
+warning.. Ok whatever.. I am ashame of my bad mouth..
Trust me this kind of "bad language" is only the 5% of the thoughts community has about this company..
Still hope my messages and rest community messages will be noticed by some NCwest managers and not only forum moderators (who, I repeat, are not "guilty".. about this whole bad situation)
