Emergency Maintenance - 1 - 13

News & Announcements Started Last reply 41 posts
Naia, Shilen, Magmeld and Bartz will be down for rolling emergency maintenances beginning on Friday, January 13, 2012 at 8pm PST / 10pm CST / 11pm EST (USA time zones) and on Friday, January 14, 2012 at 4am UTC/GMT (European time zone) (see other time zones (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Emergency+Maintenance&iso=20120113T20&p1=234)). Each server's maintenance should last approximately 30 minutes.

Due to technical concerns, the maintenances to fix the server lag issue will be implemented on one server at a time. Updates will be made if more issues arise.

The maintenance schedule:


Naia begins in about 1 hour.
Shilen begins in about 1 and a half hours.
Magmeld begins in about 2 hours.
Bartz begins in about 2 and a half hours.
Naia's maintenance is complete. Shilen's will begin in about 15 minutes.
Shilen is back up. Magmeld's maintenance will begin in about 15 minutes.
Magmeld's maintenance is complete. Bartz's maintenance will begin shortly.
Bartz is back up. This concludes our emergency maintenance session. It seems the fix has been implemented without issues, but we will continue to monitor the servers.

Take care!
Thanks Sace for the hard work :rolleyes:

Glad that you guys found the problem
Finaly a fix, and the compansation for days without xping normal, lost of nevits?
Soul shots are not working again on Chronos.

5 minutes later: They are working again...

Getting some intermittency again
Here comes the lag again..:(
And the lags start again, lol
Bartz is suffering again. Seemed to begin right as the Tersi's started generating the Specters of Light, but that could have been a coincidence. Here's to plan F or whatever you might be on. Good luck either way
i can say that fix did nothing on bartz, there was no lag and there is not, soulshots/spiritshots load whenever they want to, talking with npcs like before with 10+ sec delay, same for crafting shots from crafters ...
Bartz Lag like hell. =/
Before yesterday maintenance Soulshots worked fine and 0 lag... after maintenance.. the chaos!
In bartz delay item quest adena lag SS :s plis fix
you cant even fix 1 server (chronos) so ur trying to fix 4? rofl
We would like to apologize for the server latency issues players are currently experiencing across all worlds. The fix that was implemented with the emergency maintenance on 1/13 did not fully resolve the issue. We will give more details about compensation for all affected players later this week, but our priority at this time is making sure a proper fix is applied as soon as possible.
Thanks Juji. Now this is something that should take place everytime there is an issue:
- kepp playerbase informed
- see how player satisfaction grows
- profit

Keep it up!

I can agree with you. If the users see, that NC communicate with them they will love it and accept everything much easier.

Anyway I wait that, the issue will be solve. I did plan buy Rune of XP, Nevit Blessing and Wizard Hat too to my chars, but until I can't use them well I won't buy them. I hope now, that the event will finish in 2 days will disappear the event farmers, so I can buy than the stuffs and I can use them well:)
Is curious how well it is not the first time I see this situation (years ago), especially after returning from a maintenance ... Was supposed to have come back perfectly, but something is making the server slow and only with items. Would not have "some players" NOTHING to do with it ? I think we will see some +15 weapons soon...
We would like to apologize...

answer pls about event items. would they be deleted after maintenance?
thx for the info juji we all hope ya fix this issue fast so that we can play normally again :)

Well it's a bit sad then... Not because of the lag castle sieges, but because Lineage ruined your weekend... I'm not saying that the game works as it should (we all know it's not), what I'm saying is that it's not the end of the world..

This is my pick for post of the week!! Thx I LOLed n RL
how can u have a proper fix last time i checked a fix is a fix :confused:
The first fix was bubblegum..this fix they'll use duct tape.:D
lol good answer i'm sitting here lmao :D
I cant understand one thing...
When l2 was pay to play, here existed arround ten servers (bartz,sied,etc,etc,etc). Now is free to play, l2 gets more players, and there are only 4 servers? Thats no sense.

Every day are failing the ss / quests / pickup about 12 hours, and after nearly a week there is no solution, no new servers, no information about what is happening.

If you thought making f2p game, also had to think about what would bring about change ... It does not work the game, but if they serve the new stupidities by donation.
CLOSE THE L2 SERVERS THEN...

almost 1 week with SS/loot/teleport/wh storage lag.. and u cant solve the problem?

u will give a bonus for those who expend money/time with ur fail?

cant make 1 event with ONLY lvl 40 (2nd job done) chars can participate?

like i said.. close L2 then...

ps: DC Universe Online started F2p with 20K more ppl.. they got problems too about login/internet traffic, etc.. they solve the problem like in 3/4 days!!!!

we just wanna play a game that was enjoyable.. that u can make friends... not a game that u must w8 1min. to change city, 1min. to put items on WH, 1min. to adena go to inventory, 1min. to SS works, 1min. to ur pet shows up.. etc etc.. etc...

u must work better/more NCsoft team!!
I wonder how our servers are so different from Korea's or China's...

They sooooooooo much more players, more servers, but our servers often experience lag when there is a more than average # of people playing...

It comes down to resources being put into the servers... they're obviously being cheap on the hardware..... or that our servers run completely different versions from Korea's

If don't close before december, is maybe because we can hope that ncsoft are going to make great work ?

Maybe it was a dream...

So for compensation i have a grand idea,
Actually do something about botting? (ie take a walk through altar + swampland)

adena spammers? (go to any town??) /openeyes /pullheadoutofarse

not to say the 1hour trying to log in =P
i'll admit logging on is a pain in the butt ncsoft needs to fix it
Moderators have deleted mine topic "Lineage 2 login event", the event is based in players get NC Coins every Login Fail due to high traffic in server.

Ok... the Emergency Maintenance - 1 - 13 is a complete fail.

A fast way to solve the problems of players is new login screen (I already talk about this): Lineage 2 Chronicle 2 Age of Splendor of Destruction Plus. Remember the old times: no shots, big lags, tons of bots and finally the banhammer of destruction.

After banhammer of destruction back to godess of destruction and back pay to play style.
i wouldn't know about the old days then i started playing at c4 and the server kinda got fixed but not completely
