As many of you know, the Tersi's Light event created issues involving server capacity, as players were encouraged to log on for at least two hours per day to receive tradable event items from the Tersi's Light Agathion. As a result, new characters were constantly created and left logged in, to create profit for their own, and the servers reached capacity early on in the event, making it so that it was not possible for many other players to log in.
We have already taken some actions to fix this issue: the event was transitioned into its final stage on Chronos and Naia, the most affected servers. Although the event and the issue will end one week early for them, the Tersi's Light Agathions still gave event items in the final week, proving it to have been a less than ideal solution. Since then, we have worked closely with the development team to look for a better solution to this issue. We are happy to announce that we have been able to make the technical changes necessary for this despite it not having seemed possible previously.
The Tersi's Light Agathion will be removed from all servers in the maintenance of January 18, 2012. This change is redundant to Chronos and Naia, as the event will be entirely concluded on that day. On Shilen, Magmeld and Bartz, the lag issue should be reduced in a way that allows players to log on and play the rest of the event.

The angel Tersi saw the oncoming darkness, she felt it snuff out her lights. Thousands of them, flickered and went dark. Defiant, she lifted her agathion, thrusting it out toward the oncoming darkness. The brilliant aura surrounding the tiny luminescent fairy burst even brighter with the light of Order. It held the darkness at bay, for a moment, and for that moment light held. Then the demons within the darkness, began to laugh, and Tersi realized that they were toying with her. They had allowed her to believe that a mere angel could possibly match the might of a Goddess. Her face paled and her eyes went wide as the darkness rushed in.
And so ended the Lights of Tersi event.
And the prophets they cried...
"Let it be seen!
No ammount of candles lit may counter the will of Shilen.
Where there is light, so too shall there be darkness.
And the darkness rushed in, and smothered the light.
The end draws nearer!"
Logged in tonight without a problem. Was actually able to log my crafter in and give my toon some much needed Shots
NO LAG...EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!!!!!
^^ NICE JOB!
They haven't fixed a god **** thing yet. Read the announcement. Their fix is to end the event for all servers. The reason you can log in and have working shots, is because it's a weekday night and people have given up trying to play after 2 weeks of this. The problem is and always has been that once a certain amount of people log on, the server begins to malfunction. Right now, you are enjoying an almost full server that has not yet reached that tipping point. Tomorrow, the problems will be back and they will stay until, once again, people get sick of it and log off/go to sleep.
MAYBE with the event turned off, there won't be as many bots and this problem won't occur again. As long as the servers stay below a certain amount of people, everything is fine. Until the next event that is.
I'm glad it's over finaly, and since I'm on Chronos, this is no news for me. But, how are the other servers supposed to "play" the event without the agathion? Originaly you would need the push-skill to feed the specter, which you only have with the agation equiped.
Well, shouldn't be a big problem, since noone did it that way...
Tbh , on Shilen thing was smoothier , i mean ok i have seen the hell of a lot bots in TI and other main towns...and it rly get in my nervs , but never had that a big problem with logging in ;) i mean max i have w8ted was 10 mins?? :p
On the other hand , the lag was terrible.!!!
well there always gonna be bots etc and ya the lag is very bad atm the towns r the worsed for lag such as gludio giran goddard etc except for dion and gludin and 4 of the newbie towns
I wonder how players on Shillen, Magmeld and Bartz gonna continue event and feed specters without Tersi's Hand skill. Well, this skill was useless anyway since people prefer to spawn specters in narrow places lol.
I have another suggestion: event items only for characters over 75lv for example. And ban bots! >.<

Don't get all excited, they will remove them tomorrow. Your praise is a bit too early.
I really don't pay too much attention to what NC says...been playing since 2004 and experience is the best teacher.
What i wrote was true...i logged three times on three attempts. I did 2 daily quests and no lag...shots worked and i had fun.
Lots of toons had the light thing up but the difference was between day and night compared to how it was ALL LAST WEEK not just weekend.

and everything I said was true. You logged in and had fun and things were working because
1. weekday night north american time
2. many legit players mostly had given up playing so server was below capacity, being at max capacity is the cause of these issues
and finally
3. NCSOFT HAS NOT CHANGED/FIXED ANYTHING YET SO THERE IS NO REASON TO GIVE THEM ANY KIND OF THANKS OR PRAISE FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVENT DONE.
simple yes?
As of this posting, I can not log on today at this very moment, because the problem is still there and bots are still farming it up because ncsoft has not yet changed anything. If you log in at some weird time in the middle of the night, of course you can play. That doesn't mean a **** thing to the rest of the players.
"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."
Any information about the compensation? Did the mistake to buy a 7 day Rune of XP during the 1st week of the event and was wasted due to log in issue. Any update on that?
Other than that glad to see you remove the event and hope that this event became a lesson for the NCWest team.
there will be no 2x xp event - no xp runes and no NCcoins.
So if we are lucky it might be a few chocolate cookies.
So botters and cheaters that causes the server unplayable and can still playing the event (because they have 5k+ Specters) , while legit players, playing fair (or trying to play) can't still playing the event because they just wait for the next day to get more items (well, they can buy it from the cheaters to make them even richer)
Now I wonder why I dont start to bot and cheat to become richer, since they will never be punished...
Next time do event items untradable, which could be the best solution for this event (and every player on the forums was telling you that)
Sorry if there is english mistakes, I'm not used to write it.
But what about specters and fragments?
Not removed and we still get to do the corner trick to get rewards or shall we use all our specters before the update?
... But official event info have been known to be wrong on this point before. I can recall at least one occasion where event items were kept in game even though they should have been removed.
So please can we have some official confirmation if all events will really be removed? Or will the botters and farmers keep opening their ill gotten gains and affecting the market for several weeks to come?

And once again a #FAIL decision by NCSOFT... The servers where you now remove the agathion from have NO WAY to use the Tersi's Hand skill on the fragments of light they have... So effectively for them the event is over immediately...
IMO you should have disabled the creation of the specters on the agathion and let the players on the 3 new servers end their event the normal way, without new specters been made...

So how are we going to continue playing the event w.o the skill from the bracelet?
Bracelets should continue on the rest of the servers as it was intenteded theres really no reason to delete them now after the people who have 1000 accounts already have thousands of specters while the legit ppl that farms 50-75 specter with theirs accounts and put adena into buying more cant take advantage of the event.
Will the specters and fragments be removed as well? Or only the agathion?
I have 300 specters left and I would rather take it easy than do it all in once in 4 hours or so.
Chronos and Naia:
January 4 to January 11, 2012: Main event period.
January 11 to January 18, 2012: Fragments of Light no longer drop but any pre-accumulated can still be used.
January 18, 2012: Tersi's Light Agathions, Fragments of Light, and Specters of Light are removed from the game. All rewards stay in the game.
Ok I checked the site, my question is clearly answered.
OMG TYTYTY and for future reference....plz stop coming up with events where ppl have to be logged in to benefit...i myself have NOT been impressed with the events...from the lag issues to the rewards ( S and R Graders getting D Grade weapon and Amor seal scrolls......BAH)

Too bad French Toast quoted me and I didn't go crazy on where did my post go! Any more N@ZI moves from the moderator that deleted my post in which I did not flame just stated a legitimate question or they just remove posts coming from people who do not forget that they spent their EURO for runes and lost em due to NCWest FAIL EVENT?!
I'm still looking for an official answer on the refunds!
I read the update as of yesterday January 16. It states the Tersi agathion will be removed from ALL servers on the 18th (Tommorow).
I am on Shilen server. Does this mean all the Spectors and Light fragments, that I have accumulated will be taken out of game tommorow, the 18th, as well?
I ask because you need the Tersi Light Agathion, to use the skill, Tersi's Hand to do the event.

The event ended on Chronos and Naia, but the agathion removal was not successful on Shilen, Magmeld and Bartz due to technical issues. Locking this thread for now; please follow the maintenance thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=229944) for future updates on this.
