Server Maintenance - 1 - 9 - 2013

News & Announcements Started Last reply 62 posts
All game servers will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, January 9, 2013, at 5am PST / 7am CST / 8am EST / 1pm UTC/GMT (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Weekly+Maintenance&iso=20130109T05&p1=234). Estimated downtime is approximately 4 hours.

With this maintenance:


The Server Transfer account service returns. (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/announcements/account-services-during-the-holidays.php) The service can now be purchased in the L2 Galleria and characters may queue up for transfers. The first batch of transfers will be processed next week on January 16. Chronos and Naia servers remain full and thus unavailable as destination servers, but there are no other server restrictions at this time.
The Kaliel's Blessing (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/events/kaliels-blessing.php) event items and NPC are removed from the game. The following event items will be removed; be sure to use them before the maintenance begins:

Kaliel's Tokens
Kaliel's Soul Box
Kaliel's Gift Box
Kaliel's Training Scroll
Kaliel's Wish
Kaliel's Wish Pouch

The Windows 8 crash issue is fixed! Please note that Windows 8 is not yet officially supported per the Lineage II system requirements, but this will happen in the future, and in the meantime the game should work with no issues.
The in-game MSN chat feature is removed from the game, due to the contract between Microsoft and NCSOFT having expired.

hope bill gates wont cry.
Surely Bill Gates is enjoying good of your retirement.
Maybe you've been referring to the current Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer.

Let's hope that banned players trying to help regarding those issues will be able to come back ...
Sace any info about a fix of Mysterious BSSR from the L2 Store not working as toggle in the skill bar?
The SSR do work, just not the BSSR (and ye, it's already reported).

Pls give them a chance to atleast start the maintenance before complaining that it did nothing.
Any upgrade in game guard against bots or after this maintenance we continue with bot servers?
Well finally some good news than:)

Sace some questions:

1. When will kind of Q&A event what was in the last 2 years (what I guess also was popular too)?

2. Do you have any information, that the Echo Update 2-3-4-5 when will arrive to us?

3. Maybe do you have any information about the Chapter 3: Lindvior update?:)
hope bill gates wont cry.
actually if you didnt know, windows live messenger, known as msn messenger will be shut down worldwide with the exception of china, in march this year. it will be replaced by skype. so, no point in renewing the contract for something that wont exist in the near future.
Im playing one week only. Somone knows if Server Maintenance really will take 4 Hours , or maby it can be faster?

How long were other Maintenances?
Usually its around time what they told +- 30mins, so i bet it gonna be 4h +/- 30m :)
4 hours is the average downtime.

I like the MSN being gone, sometimes I would click on it by accident when trying to click on my chat settings. Windows 8 issue is important since all new computers in the US are being sold with only Windows 8, for the blame game that is really MicroSoft's fault because they aren't allowing us to buy computers without Windows 8. Kaliel's Wish event was boring . . . glad it's gone because I knew that we wouldn't have another event that was good because Kaliel's Wish event was in game. Server Transfers . . . I'm sure someone is thankful for it. Thanks for the info; have a great day.

Same thing for me, when I launch, it just freezes and I have to end task via task manager. I uninstalled the launcher, then reinstalled as well, same thing.

i uninstalled and reinstalled too, now NC launcher doesnt freeze anymore, but when i click on lineage 2 to update, the update window freezes at 0%..

Zzzzzzzz love awesome patches NCSoft.
No VP this time?
Hello guys.
I've a problem when I want to do the update.
the update start, when 50% comes, it say me " 'C:\Program Files (x86)\NCsoft\Lineage II\System\ALAudio.dll' is impossible"

I don't understand, if someone can help me, say me everything :)
Well finally some good news than:)

Sace some questions:

1. When will kind of Q&A event what was in the last 2 years (what I guess also was popular too)?
I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please rephrase the question?
2. Do you have any information, that the Echo Update 2-3-4-5 when will arrive to us?
Some of the Echo updates arrived in our version of Glory Days, and the rest will be coming in the very near future in small patch. I can't say exactly when that will happen, but we are currently in the process of testing these patches, so I estimate we can give a more specific time frame within the next weeks or less.
3. Maybe do you have any information about the Chapter 3: Lindvior update?:)
We need to get the rest of the Echo updates out before we can discuss later game updates. :)
Hey Sace, when are u guys doin better destiny packs? I can't imagine u all are selling very many of them. SP scrolls and Eva Runes are kind of lol for that expensive of a pack.
I can't say exactly when the next changes to the packs will be, but there will likely be changes to them in the future.
No VP this time?
Vitality points are refilled at 6:30am server time every Wednesday regardless of server maintenance, so it is no longer mentioned in maintenance notices.
Tnx NC for this FIX
No one can help me ?
So does it work now? I'm on my laptop and I can't get on my dekstop to try it. I mean on win8.
FYI there is a minor issue with the server transfer registration process that came up after maintenance. We are looking into it now, and we still expect to be able to open up the service today. I'll post again if there are any changes, and also to let you know when it opens again.
Sace any info about a fix of Mysterious BSSR from the L2 Store not working as toggle in the skill bar?
The SSR do work, just not the BSSR (and ye, it's already reported).

Any info Sace?
i think ncwest should release destro scroll destiny packs again and upgrade our servers so chronos/naia arent "full" anymore :-(
Any info Sace?
We reported the issue with those mysterious shots when it started last week but haven't received any update yet. :(
I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please rephrase the question?

I did think to the events like the "Producer Q&A" thread in the Dev Corner or maybe an interview what was on the MMORPG.com where before the interview the players or readers could write down their questions.

I understand now. We are planning to do a new Producer Q&A thread in the near future; we'll have announcements about it once it happens. No scheduled plans for the next livestream interview yet, though.

From other system? I have the same problem. Where can I get correct option.ini? Because it didnt help if I delete the one i have in the system directory
We reported the issue with those mysterious shots when it started last week but haven't received any update yet. :(

Sorry, but what is so hard to fix it?
Just check how the consumption of the ssr is and dublicate that....
Or check the code of pre-maintenance.

Rly... i sit on like 1kk BSSR and have to buy BSSR....
Geodata seems to be problematic again, we're hitting invisible walls just like before.
Oh and by the way, you should consider to increase the max number of instances for Solo Kartia 85/90.
Kartia 85 been full most of the times the last days.

What server are you observing this on, please? :)
I am observing this on Naia personally. Especially in the early evening and in the morning surprisingly.

Dreamer also play on Naia as far as I know.

Thanks, I'll forward that info to the team.

I'm also forwarding your note above about the "Unknown items" showing up in that server transfer list; indeed, that isn't very helpful. :)
I can confirm too the past 2 weeks, kartia 85 is full even at midnight gmt+0 sometimes, kartia 90 till 3-hours earlier on Naia.

According to my sig i am playing on Naia :p

Thanks (can't believe I didn't see that XD).

According to our data it's actually normal the Kartia instances on Naia seemed full in the past weeks; for months we've been manually adding extra instances to Naia with each maintenance, but an unexpected server crash could reset that limit, and due to staffing resources it was not possible to add the extras over the holiday break. All should be back to normal now.
