No problems if some power rangers leave the scene.
Really? No new characters STILL? You guys enjoy screwing over your player base or what? All I want to do is make a character to be my main on an account that already has characters on Chronos, how the hell am I taking up more server space? Friggin bs. Is there any info on when it will be up or are you just gunna say "F you guys" until the new update? At least let us make new characters for 1 god **** day thats all I ask
how about those that started the path and took some items and didn't finish it yet, will they get the new items or the old one till the end of the path?

Um, are the Path to Awakening awards changing for the better or for the worse??? Yeah, I know, I know...wait until tomorrow.
u are crazy with this disabled char creation...this is just killing your game
i dont get why u cannot ban bots with char creation on
You'll find out more information tomorrow. You won't be able to claim the items again if you already claimed them before.
Very nice. In next time try give us information about this changes before.

At night I up my char 80 lvl and take gift from PtA. And if now new gift be better - I will cry in WC:(
good. atm after last ban hammer -1k on naia, in evening online ~5.2k :) so no problem with logging in after crash or disconnect.
btw that event is worst event ever was launched on ncsoft servers.. worse was tersil lights event after GoD launch, when you can't log since ~14-15h gmt+2, but this one... I have no words to describe it :)
Tersi's Light event was excellent, this one very bad, but atleast not bot-event :) I hope you guys took some money from it.
One question: How the Hell ppl can make Miraculous Valentine Cake if you remove Miraculous Special Ingredient from L2 Store and L2 Galleria? Just ridiculous.
And how we can use changes to Rewards in the Path to Awakening, if we can't create a new character on Naia and Chronos?
You MUST ban 2k accounts EVERY WEEK, and all will be ok, so no need such extremes for whole community like disabling character creation.
Why GM (maybe GM's) banned SOME bot's (bot's groups) only in high lvl loc's? Orbis, Harnak, EG, and probably some more loc's. But why not in Giant's Cave, Stakato Nest and many others, still filled by bots? Maybe you need to show someone that servers have "good online"? And you will pay alot $ for upgrading servers because all slots filled again?
Just ban bot's constantly, every week or every month in random times, random loc's.
But not just 1 banhammer 1-2 years. Please start doing your job!
Why GM (maybe GM's) banned SOME bot's (bot's groups) only in high lvl loc's? Orbis, Harnak, EG, and probably some more loc's.
There is a certain logic. Bot train's in high lvl loc's - this replacement characters for some ppl, who use 3th party software like *******. And if the main character of these people should be banned, they will take the same level from this train.

But all this is not a good solution. I would say - is a simulation solutions. Must make the protection of ******* and then many problems will disappear by themselves.
It will not be possible to make new characters to get mentee certification and trade for bssr? :(

I'll break my business like this!
BSSR is very expensive! :mad:
haha goodbye feoh wizards xD no one will play this class anymore :p
Juji/Sace, what's going to happen with Path to Awakening(will it be removed or something)since the Chapter 3: Lindvior launches(because I've read about the Steel Door Coins(Dunno is it true))...

Have a good day! :)

I think only change will be that it will contain SSS and BSSS 70-85. And they'll remove the 3hr XP rune for below 85, to prevent bots from being powerleveled in Swampland.
I predict the removal of Mentee Certificates.

arghh and why do you think that - this is one of the importand changes on Lineage2 ...? - without maaannyy PPL leave L2... :(
ATTN to staff:

why does Chronos crash EVERY week before maintenance???

How is it going to be important now that there are no new toons being created on Naia and Chronos? The certificates were being used for free weightless shots. NCSoft is selling weightless shots in the store. Why sell something when it's given away free? You all screamed for a change and for the GMs to do something about bots, shots, bugs and crashes. Careful what you wish for. I see a big change in L2 future, ending with server merges.
Nice work. We dont need new chars and we dont need BSSR/SSR. play the game the way it is supposed or go to a private server IF you find bssr/ssr expensive. Make a crafter! Craft from dwarf shops!

personally i like the idea....and as far as the ppl leaving....i hope they do...free up the server so we can actually play, especially all the Botted up "Top Clans", Like Nova, Playmates ,FS ,Bregan ( and a few others i dont remember at this time )

nono cool down at other servers charakter creation works but Luco means nobody need new chars... :/ - all spoken here is speculativ... ;)
i think the new character creations are being handled wrong. i think it's just an excuse for you to not have to do your job properly. i remember in old times when GM's actually showed up in game, ran thru the catas and banned the bot trains. ... good times...
now preventing players from creating new characters has been done in the past before and proven as a hasty and bad decision. it's putting a band-aid on a tumor. instead of preventing the making of new players, it should prevent new account creations but allow new characters on the existing accounts. the counter for the server traffic would be the same and your freshly banned bot trains would move to the other servers instead (i am not sure if thats a good thing or not). to me it looks more like that start to tolerate botting, as long as its on empty servers.
"out of sight, out of mind" is what my grandfather always said - you should put that onto the login page and add it as mandatory GM signatures.
It seems the talk of the town is about new character creation... in this instance I only need to make a new character in order to get a mentee cert for making a shot dwarf because i know the free shots will end someday.

I would hope they can make all lvl 40+ automatically have mentee capabilities(cert or no cert)

Another option would be to make certs a one time use for awakened toons...

since nothing has been updated yet I can only assume that "changes to path to awakening" means something to do with the certs.

One final comment, I had a permared that I worked(died) the karma off of back in the C5 days... a lvl 36 Spellhowler(2nd class completed) shows on the PtA "Future goal" for cert... but once re-leveled to 40 no longer elgible
You'll find out more information tomorrow. You won't be able to claim the items again if you already claimed them before.

So bots can't pick 1kk in soul shots using mentee certificate? ;x
Say yes pls :/

Weight penalty + craft shots = headache to bots. I will love it.
You dont need free items to play a game . what are you ? ******s? go make items ssr bssr and try the best for your char. Come on. Dont be weak. I went 77 lvl with alacrity potion soloing with a tank. No common items, no buffs. 77 lvl in a year and more. Now you went 95 in some months and you cry about ssr/bssr.............................................
if some have problems in chronos and naia about character creation are off .. come to play in bartz or others servers and the problem is finished

I rather delete all my 21 chars destroying over 100bil worth of gear items and whatnot then move to a poorly populated server ran by top clans that are as unlegit as Nova, SilentHorrors and DragonHunters and start from scratch.

ahahahaha come on is that an problem for you ..zzzz ^^
first off, i applaud NCwest for stopping character creations on naia and chronos. It was the first step to cleaning up those servers from the bots. The banning of the bots and exploiters were another step in the right direction. Now if they can only take action on the use of illegal programs, then the true clean up of these two servers would be complete.

As for the fix with the mentee certificates, that should have been done a long time ago. It was an exploit itself....doing a mentee on an account to claim the rewards on another character on the same account. those rewards were meant for the character that completed the quests. ok, so you don't get free soul/spirit shots, there's other ways to create them. If they increase the drop rate of smaller items like jewelry or armor parts, awakened characters can make R crystals out of them and craft shots by themselves (they do have common craft shot rec's ingame).

So i wish people would stop crying about no account creations or NC not banning botters, because they are finally starting to do something about it!
... hmm i cant speak for all but my fear are not the Soulshots - more adena for real player crafters would be nice i think :)
My fear is the XP Bonus loss and no Mentor Buff for Mentees.. and yes i know in the "golden" Days there where no Boni but i like them ;)

This coming from Supersized.... Come on havox.. we all have seen ur clan guilty of the botting scene. Dont be a hypocrit and pretend
So i wish people would stop crying about no account creations or NC not banning botters, because they are finally starting to do something about it!

It isn't no account creations though, it is no CHARACTER creations. Character creations affects EVERYONE not just bots. Why? Because, I have 2 accounts that I have logged on all day, adding 2 characters to the server load, however, I took the time to make an Iss Enchanter before I made my main character, and now I can't make a main character on my other account because I cant make characters, me making a new character on my account that I log in every day would change nothing on the server, it would still only be 2 characters on the server. I wish that had done it so that no new accounts could be created in which that if you didn't already have a character on the Chronos or Naia server, you can't make a character for them. The way they chose about it was a bad decision that basically punished everybody for the bots. There are plenty of people that want to make new characters for reason other than exploiting the mentee certs.

Edit: Accidentally cut out part of the sentence in the quote
btw i never used a mentee certificate for shots yet, i always buy my shots - and i have about a bil adena at the moment, so i don't know where there is such uproar about it.

Not everyone has a bill adena... are you daft?
Juji/Sace, what's going to happen with Path to Awakening(will it be removed or something)since the Chapter 3: Lindvior launches(because I've read about the Steel Door Coins(Dunno is it true))...

Have a good day! :)

it Seems the entire mentor system will change, eg;

1) Mentee status was changed from requiring a character to possesses to mentee certificate to now just being level 84 or below.
2)changes the Mentee status depending on the mentee certificate is no longer new and dormant accounts payable does not.
3) The "Mentee's Appreciation" buff has been changed to 5% from 10%.
4) The "Mentor's Guidance" buff has been changed to 50% from 200%.

more info is here http://wiki.terragamers.net/index.php?title=Chapter_3_Mentoring

not seen anything about path to awakening though

Its very easy to get money in this game if you do all your dailies + weekly / bi-weekly raids.

Servers are up!

:eek:
Juji you guys (NCWest) are about to lose all non-paying players out there very soon.
With the intruduction of these underware augments that could possibly give you +30/+40% mp/hp/cp or w/e, it's like selling entire parts of the game, not just "comsetic" and balanced stuff.
Thanks for adding more imba items on the l2store titled as "cosmetic".


30% stats aug skill seems legit for cosmetic purposes only.


Oh and those of you who say, "we need to earn something apart cosmetics only, we're paying with our money here" well you're right, so NCWest is giving you some extra care;


When used, HP + 30%, MP + 30%, and CP + 40%. Can be used in the Olympiad.


Sweet lord, i thought custom boosting skills and items were only on private BR x3000 servers, oh well.

I don't know if you guys have been paying attention to the evolution of the L2 store, but all the cosmetic stuff is being removed because no one is *** buying it! When's the last time you saw someone driving around with a dwarven super cycle? The NA market isn't interested in items that have no ingame power boosting effects.

I don't see any harm as long as they do it once every 6 months, if you dont want to pay 3k ncoins for 6 months then lol at you really..
anyways i dont believe those effects mentioned above exist, I guess will find out more when galleria is done with maintenance.
I bet tge good augments like that are nearly impossible to get because ncsoft has learned players will drop hundreds to get that crap if they dangle it out in front of them. I doubt it will be a serious problem.
i know this is bussines but u rly want loose all player who dont pay for game? This is sick idea. Next step make Weapon +16 for 1000$ and will be ok. This game starting be like a cheap bugged private server where u can buy everything... no coment NC. rly sick idea.
People useless to make the drama, soon these shirts will worthless.

1. These items are exist in Korea too.
2. In next update appears the Raid Boss Shirts what will have effect like a +7 Paagrio or Maphr Shirt, so these items won't be useful after it.
3. This +30% CP/HP bonus will craft available buff potion in the next update through the name Force of Chaos.

We just can say, that those who wish spend to these items some NCoins can get some content from the Chapter 3 earlier than those who doesn't wish to pay for it.

These shirt like a "Pre Oder Chapter 3" stuffs or "Collector Edition" stuffs.

The servers are located in a capitalist pigdog country, of course they will sell stuff to make money. :p In all seriousness, you can play for free but the game isn't really free. Someone's gotta pay the bills. The GMs don't work "Pro Bono". This is a business, not a charity. I do look good in camo. :D
nothing is for free but why they dont make shop with +16 weapon enchanr scroll? Its easier way than trying keep ppl who will paying for all this stuff like DEWR and other :) Plase make GM shop like on lol priv servers :)
-50 bucks, nothing useful.
Most important aspect omitted, the buffs these shirts give overwrite normal augment actives.

Eg. the underwear reflect of 7% overwrites the weapon active of 20%.
Any news for the Path to Awakening ? :>
Good morning. Looks like I woke to a more than average dose of pay-to-win today.
So any ETA on when the Path to Awakening page will be back up?

I ask, so we can see what the Path to Awakening changes are since, NCwest does not like to share information with their player base.
Looks like only a few of those skills can be used in Oly and for the most part they would only be helpful for certain classes in certain situations, with an exception of the invincibility skill.

Outside of oly I don't see these skills being much of a factor especially in large scale pvp and it seems the odds of getting anything good is going to be extremely low.

Everyone freaked out with the power shirts and that ended up being irrelevant as time went on. Same story with these new items.
somehow i knew the cries of pay to win would come to this thread. get over yourselves and stop QQing.
Skills that are useful on the Underwear:

(Active) Adenia's Invincibility Lv1 / Lv2
(Active) Adenia's Instant Recovery LV1 / Lv2
(Passive) Adenia's Weight Limit
(Passive) Adenia's Damage Reflect Lv2


Rest is garbage, due to the effects not stacking with other augments or in the case of the Party Return having a casting time equal to an Scroll of Escape and a 1 hour reuse.

Buffs last 2 minutes with (generally) a 5 minute cooldown (Excluding CS).

The exception are the base stats which seem to be high. I got over 30 crit rate a few times when going through my NCsoft donation.

Generally speaking though, overall not as impressive as say a +7 pa'agrio shirt. I could see some oly players with deep pockets trying to get the heal or CS active but then switching back to a pa'agrio shirt for the raw stats.
Any info if the recovery active augment also restores that much hp/cp/mp or is it like pipe orgran?
Juji?

can you ask the Devs to sent you (NCwest :)) 4 remaining Echo II changes?



Orbis Zone Quest change
The Zone Quest button in the Alt + C (Action Window)
Augment remove fee discount
The option for change cloak visibility in the Option window

Please, please i would be happy to have complete Echo II :)

//Yeah, and fix this please... "Several L2 Store items have not been changed to persist through death."

Should probably add passive Dual Might to your list as well. It probably isn't alot but every little bit helps.

Its not passive, its passive trigger duel might.

WHen you get hit, you have a chance to get a short lived buff that increases pvp damage. This buff will overwrite your active augment.

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 600px" border=1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=1242><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=bottom width=300 noWrap>Adenia's Duel Might


</TD><TD vAlign=bottom width=942 noWrap>When hit, P. Atk. increases during PvP for some time.


</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=bottom width=300 noWrap>Adenia's Duel Might


</TD><TD vAlign=bottom width=942 noWrap>When equipped, P. Atk. increases during PvP for some time.


</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

The description is fuzzy IMO. The second says "equipped" which implies a passive. But it also says "for some time" which implies an active.
I think that's the plan! It was nice knowing all you freeloaders! Bye!


P.S. Still loving my +7 Maphyr's shirt btw!

If you say "bye" to all the freeloaders you call, then you`ll play L2 alone lol or with ppl wearing +16++ wpns only.I really hope you don't mean that.....
Just asking, extended maintenance for the Path to Awakening ? :>

Im asking the same, since i have beem trying to get any info and nothing.... nor here or facebook or website :P

Should be back in 30 minutes.
After seeing the underwear stuff, my belly is about to burst, I'm laughing too much.
Should be back in 30 minutes.

so whats the point to keep reward on 85? who use that iron mask?
all vitality potions, all xp runes for newbies removed.. and still no S grade shots.. what was the point to make this update to path to awakening rewards?

No more free rune / vitality xp for the main on the same account
so maybe better to change rewards claim system and sent them via email. and not by dimensional merchant?
As we have seen before, with exploration packs, "revamp" means more like de-vamp...
WTB bug fix for 7 signs quest and war system.
:mad:
lol NCSoft is trying hard to squeeze every last dollar out of people. Tbh, this is dreadful long term marketing. Giving away a handful of vit items was a great way to show newbies the benefits of using vitality items. That a handful of people made high level alts to get some free stuff is not likely indicative of the broader player base.
No more free rune / vitality xp for the main on the same account

its not just vitality...

its:

milk
ewr
ear
vitality
minion tickets
ant queen ring 30 day

i guess next maintanence we will see it all in NCshop... i think half of it already there


time to pull the plug...for some ppl
Oo, next "UPdate" go remove set? if problem is gold farmer, kill gold farmer and no remove suport for new players, if problem is gold farmer, kill its gold farmer and no reduce drop.

cmon NC show me one surprise, exemple R1 and R2 of 30 day, in database.

reduce drop = more gold farmer
more dificult up = more gold farmer
bad events = more afk or gold farmer

The problem isn't that.

The problem is, as some people would bother to lv up a toon in his main to 40 to get the mentee's certificate to get free shots/set, some other people would bother to lv up a toon to 85 in order to get the runes/vitality potions/sgc/attribute crystals and stones, etc.

But you just have killed the incentive for new players (not talking about the ones who already have friends with iss or clans)

The solution was indeed, apply the reward system via mail exclusive for the toon, and make the items non-tradeable.
Yess... Add lvl to 120 and Delete Full PoA.. That can look better.. :D Only need sell more NCCoin´s... Nothing more.. And Underwear liked from HR PVP servers.. yeah... Really good work...
Less F2P more pay to win.
"Truly Free"
hahahahahahahhaahhahahahahaahhahaha
is the server working?
i cant even put the ncsoft working... i run it and then i have to use crl+alt+del to finish the application, cause it just stop working before i do anything :/

hahahahahahahhaahhahahahahaahhahaha

You just took away my words, GL I saw your post before post mine, but true, truly free is now become a JOKE.

Lineage II is officially PAY TO WIN
I have 2 accounts that I have logged on all day, adding 2 characters to the server load, however, I took the time to make an Iss Enchanter before I made my main character, and now I can't make a main character on my other account because I cant make characters


mmm, i have lvl 1 toons with more than 1 year, created when i start to play here and rdy to level some day.

If you have 2 accounts, and YOU KNOW you played another one, WHY dont created IT yet?????

This was what i was thinking.

One thing i do is reserve names for my mains, i ALWAYS create my main char right away even if i will intend to only play it later.
mmm, i have lvl 1 toons with more than 1 year, created when i start to play here and rdy to level some day.

because the character I wanted the name of was being deleted at the time. I have just recently started playing again and I DID plan to main my Iss however I decided to not make it my main so I started the deletion of the character whose name I wanted to use again. However while it was being deleted they stopped the character creations.
All game servers and the L2 Galleria will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, at 5am PST / 7am CST / 8am EST / 1pm UTC/GMT. (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Weekly+Maintenance&iso=20130227T05&p1=234) Estimated downtime is approximately 4 hours.
(http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Weekly+Maintenance&iso=20130227T05&p1=234)
With this maintenance:


The Valentine Cakes (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/events/valentine-cakes-2013.php) Event continues for the final week! The Queen of Hearts event NPC remains in-game. The ingredient items no longer drop from monsters and are no longer sold in the L2 Store and L2 Galleria.
L2 Store Valentine's Day (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/store-promos/valentine-store-update-new-item-details.php) items and promotions have been removed.
Character creation is still disabled on Chronos and Naia.
The Underwear Store Update (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/store-promos/underwear-store-update.php) has arrived!

Rewards in the Path to Awakening have been changed. Several items have been removed and this is the first step towards the full revamp for the Path to Awakening in the future.
Other known issues such as the Einhasad Sacred Sword Skill, War System, and Eva's Runes in Olympiad can be found here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=253248).

Kinda gay to change for ones already started their path , for me u stole my promised free gifts , i lvl just to 85 before maintenance , couldn't claim cause of site maintenance to , now finally i can claim i'm stuck with stupid mask thxs for rip off and don't get ur hopes up, ain't buy any virtual underwear ****

This is just as bad as the Power Shirt Event.

Seriously...why take away all those rewards from truly free?

Because of all the people that get on here bragging about being able to go from 1-85 in less than a week, and all the other people that may have actually been able to do it in less than a day. Imagine all the ant queen rings and vitality potions these people were getting and trading to their main accounts. Then you delete the other accounts, wait and then start again.

Now, couple this with lagging sales at NCWest and you'll eventually have someone in their corporate office that'll get the bright idea that this type of behavior may be whats eating into their profits. So they lower the prices on XP and vitality stuff, then they remove the freebies. If this doesn't work, the next step will be shutting down the servers. This is a SURE sign that NCWest is in trouble and if you guys want to keep playing this game, you'd better start "donating" a little cash a month to keep it going.

Hey next time put Blessed r99 weapons +16 for NCoin (:
Yes let's scream doom and gloom that NCwest is hurting for money.

Let's think about this a little. Let's say you play legit (lol yea that's rare),but humor me. Is it really worth the time spending making alts to 80ish or more JUST for Vit items or xp runes? I guess if you have lots of time to spend doing that it works,but I certainly wouldn't do it.

I really doubt this had anything to do with the need to make money.
Update = + donater items / F.U.C.K.I.N.G no donaters!

Next Maintenance: No donaters 1cp/1hp status, Donaters lethal 100% and 365 days with invul.

It's nothing gloom and doom about it, it's just cold hard facts. The doors stay open as long as money comes in. When there's enough money coming in, a certain equilibrium is established. Sure a few minor changes are made in order to increase profits because of the fallacy that was coined "if a business isn't growing, it's dying", but you try not to change to much because you don't want risk major changes that may make the business go downhill. When extreme changes are made rapidly, its because you're already going downhill and you're trying to turn around a losing venture. The types of changes they're making with events you can't complete without spending money, removing XP and vitality items from the path to awakening, and lowering the prices on the store items means problems, my friend.

Please care a little bit about mystic classes !!! why are there only crit and damage for physical attackers ? what about m.att and m.crit in augmentation for mystic classes ? This is totally unfair !! I'm sure that people who have characters are fighters will attend in this event more than mystic players. That's a big lost for you.

tl;dr

Also AQ ring is terrible due to its low MR given. Wear it means you want to be melted by everything.
i was actually surprised when i logged after a while on that path of awakening page, ewr/ear and vitality and plenty of other stuff than it was before... more reason for players to exploit the mentee system. its better this way, keep it simple, its to lvl newbies not to stack up your main.

It does take some time to actually get up there if you're a legit player.

However...the amount of bots make it extremely easy to exploit the system, especially for those element crystals.
Not everyone has a bill adena... are you daft?

If you cant make a billion adena, perhaps he aint the daft one, but rather you.

I have people who give me upwards 1b...just to be their friend.

Being a good healer, a forum warrior, and a girl has it's benefits.
It isn't hard to make a billion adena anymore lol.

Game will be nine years old soon and honestly I thought it would be doing better than this. It's lack of support that's killing it. Then the creation restrictions on Naia and Chronos. I guess I see that situation for both sides. It stops more bots,but then it also restricts new players that might be legit.

Then seeing that RMT is the only way to top, they fall into the same suit.

It's a vicious and sad cycle really. People are super comptetive in cyber-space because they can't control their own lives irl...pity...

You are one of the thing that are wrong with this game:

- Helaers=divas (male or famale)
- Forum Warrior? omg do I have to explain whats wrong with this?
- Girl? Everyone is a male until really... really... really prove otherwise.
- Shanghai? so it means you are not allowed to play here since you are in china or just lie about location.

Anyone that had to pay (or give items) to have friends is a really pro L2 player (a loser, nolifer, probably a hero)
- Girl? Everyone is a male until really... really... really prove otherwise.
If you need girls' photos... Google is that way -->

Try doing a group without a healer and tell me how well that goes.

When people say, "Hey, you're from the forms! Wanna group up?" Means I'm making friends who will help me level.

Pics or GTF0. No questions asked. Mind me why do girls have to show our faces online. Treating us lik something else makes you look like a child who pouts and wonders why he doesn't have a gf.

I'm an Amercan national studying abroad in Shanghai for her freshman year at NYU. I get decent Internet to play so I do. I played since open beta. Please read the join date sometime Hun if you want to learn the peaking order

Not sure...
give us some info on when character creation will be available again !
:) i want to troll you about 2 things....1 old and 1 new.
WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO OPEN CHARACTER CREATION ?
and.....since you worry so much about game stability, market price stability and all this crap that you post from time to time , trying to convince yourself that everything is fine in NcWest servers, WHY DO YOU ADD L2STORE EXCLUSIVE ITEMS? why dont you give to the people that like this game, but dont have a golden visa, the opportunity to have access to the same items with just hunting?

If you like this game then appreciate NCwest puts stuff in the NCstore that motivates people to spend real world money. It is those transactions that keep the servers open. This idea that everything should be free and equal even if you contribute NOTHING financially to keeping the game going is silly. I get it you are broke but you love the game. SO **** and play the game and thank that sick pink underware wearing freak who dropped 25 bucks of expendable income that he worked so hard for.

its not just vitality...

its:

milk
ewr
ear
vitality
minion tickets
ant queen ring 30 day

i guess next maintanence we will see it all in NCshop... i think half of it already there

you have no point...

milk check (buffpots)
ewr check
ear check
vitality check
minion tickets check
ant queen ring 30 day check (had epic jewel buying event)

no need to bring it up, we had it all ... and more
This coming from Supersized.... Come on havox.. we all have seen ur clan guilty of the botting scene. Dont be a hypocrit and pretend
i believe it was HavOx. no idea who you are and yes he was briefly in our clan for half a year about 5 years ago and then became clan leader from honorguardians after playing on euro server. that was arround 2009-2010 or so. the only questions remaining is who are you, why you spread lies and why you pretend to HavOx and at same time say that i am HavOx.
pathetic!
