Server Maintenance - 4 - 4 - 2012

News & Announcements Started Last reply 18 posts
Important: Due to important changes in a fellow NCsoft game and related backend platform integration with the NCoin system, this maintenance begins earlier and lasts longer than usual weekly maintenance periods.

All game servers and some website and forum functions will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, April 4, 2012, at 3:30am PDT / 5:30am CDT / 6:30am EDT / 10:30am UTC/GMT (see other time zones (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Weekly+Maintenance&iso=20120404T0330&p1=234)). Estimated downtime for the game servers is approximately 8 and a half hours, and for the website and forums is approximately 13 hours.

With this maintenance:


The Player Commendation Lottery ends, and free daily PC Points cease to be available in the L2 Galleria.

The Heavenly Pack and Blessed Power Shirt Enchant Scroll cease to be available in the L2 Galleria and L2 Store. Also, the regular Power Shirt Enchant Scroll ceases to be available for purchase from the Fantasy Isle Paddies NPC in-game.

It is now "safe" to hunt outdoors after a week of possible April Fool's Day-related surprises. Stay tuned for screenshots! :)

Due to backend platform integration and data migration, the NCsoft.com website and Lineage II forums, and the log-in management function for Lineage2.com and the Path to Awakening will be down for related maintenance for approximately 6 hours during the game server maintenance time frame.

Website updates:


Additional patch notes for the Harmony game update have been added to the Lineage2.com website. Learn more about these additional notes on the Harmony patch notes (http://www.lineage2.com/en/game/patch-notes/harmony/) directory page.
A helpful guide and FAQ to using the Dimensional Merchant NPC (http://www.lineage2.com/en/game/the-library/game-systems/dimensional-merchant-npc.php) has been added to the Library's Game Systems section.
Users can now subscribe to the Lineage2.com website's RSS feed by clicking on the RSS icon placed in handy locations on the website homepage (http://www.lineage2.com/en/) and on the All News (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/) page.

Sounds a bit like this might be the start to the restoration of account services...

It is indeed related and is significant progress to bringing back account services, but this is only part of the process and there is still much work to be done. We hope to have more news about that in the near future.
I was actually hoping for an easter event with this maintenance, can we expect something like this ?

I doubt there will be anything. Bunny Money was a cute event,but don't bet on it

Any clues on what improved/new services might we expect?
Since you talked about NCoin, any new features to come with it? (one of those me and most of the fellow players are interested to know is if they are going to be a ingame currency).

There will be no visible changes for Lineage II players regarding NCoin at this time, and we cannot comment now on future services or features, but once there is info ready to be announced it will be shared.

So there IS something up your sleeve!:D would you say that account services and stuff is close to 0%, 50% or 100%?

On a side note, any ninja-patches to be added with this maintenance, or there is still no clue?

Also, an Easter event would be nice ^^

A lot of rumors running around in game, that unban service is coming. And description of this maintenance only warming up these rumors

Anyone noticed at least 1 surprise? :confused: Didnt even heard about any

Sace, is it possible to add server to server transfers buyable with NC Coins?
I want to see what surprises NCsoft will bring to players today :rolleyes:
still no account services? really? How long are we going to have to wait for at least *BASIC* account services? Name change, etc? If you don't have the physical manpower to do it manually maybe you should look at adding people. Hell, I would volunteer to help out any way I could. And I'm being 100% honest. If you need help with things give me a hollar, I have a pretty decent resume for being a game moderator.

You chose the name on creation. Why do you want to change it?
Oh, yes maybe you haven't chosen the nickname and you bought the char from someone else.

no details earlier, no details now, no screens. I guess, the chance of april jokes followed the chance of the last events.



thx for nothing.

give us more of this...
sigh, priv server scrubs demanding stuff like this is a donation server lol.

have you left your brain at home today or you are always like this?

Jebidiah, it's here from 2005 if you were talking about him.
And if you talking about me, then your post deserves a /facepalm.
I was approving the lack of this "account services" which hides the account trades for real money.

FYI, most of the private servers had this, but it were just for the heck of it, if you grew tired of a nickname.
Here, old players (to be read "real money traders") , sell their accounts on different sites and want to change the char name.
I wasnt saying it to anyone in particular, but I guess you felt affected. Gratz.

Don't like your name and you arent lvl 90?

Reroll. Think real hard on the name this time.
