Oh my, too long.

http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/announcements/new-race-teaser-trailer.php

Ertheia is coming later this year. How much later? Maybe not that much later :)
Any chance we can get a nevit's up for awhile after maintenance or some sort of compensation?

I have a prestige pack, 200% 7 day exp rune, 100% 1-95 7 day exp rune, 200% 7 day 1-85 exp rune, and 200% 7 day drop rune active.

If I look at it from a math perspective.. Around $7-9 of time just ticks away off my runes during this maintenance. That is like half a prestige pack. -.-
OMFG 14 hours.............
And not even gonna introduce the new race?? Come on Guys, we've been waiting over 6 months and was told it was coming out as part of the 10th anniversary. And still no new race. At least give us a date so we know when to expect it now. Plz?

I'm sure they'll get to it as soon as they can. They can only work as fast as the Seoul team lets them! Let's talk about some compensation for the long maintenance though, ;p!

We’re happy to reveal the initial tease of the Ertheia, a new race coming to Lineage II. While a lot is still unknown about the Ertheia and the impact they will have on the world, it can be rightly assumed that they will be quickly drawn into the ongoing conflict in Aden.

You can look forward to playing this mystical race sometime next year in North America, as part Lineage II’s upcoming year-long 10th Anniversary celebration!

Check out the teaser trailer!

So 10th anniversary passed , when we getting that ??? Why you lying us :(

Well, they never said that Ertheias would come during the 10th anniversary events, since the wording on the announcement says that the 10th anniversary lasts one year.
They have plenty of time to update the servers to Dimensional Strangers ;)
Estimated downtime is approximately 14 hours.

Standard server maintenance will be performed.
Do you really need 14 hours? Is this mainly needed to improve the hardware/software for the server stabillity? During the 10th Anniversary event you also updated a part of the hardware/software to improve the server stabillity? The last time you needed this much time was before a major update because servers were getting merged and new ones were added during the Goddes of Destruction update ...

I guess the new hardware/software update are anticipated and in preparation for the next big update: 'Ertheia' in the near future. So we can all assume the update might be closer to come live then expected?

Cheers,
Bennie

The extended maintenance is due to changes on the back end for both Lineage II and Aion.

We are waiting on these two services. It's taking a little additional time to get developed.


please

Don't forget, the 10th Anniversary is ending tomorrow. Make sure to claim your Veteran Pack rewards (if you haven't already done so) before they are removed!

Plenty of time indeed.

'Merica.
server instability fix = 1 less summon for wyns. (korean experiment to see reaction of players before actually doing it on korea)
in 6 months they give summons 5% more stats to compensate.
Holy crap...guess I'll sleep in, instead of my pre-work solos. Must be miracles in the making! :-)
Would this maintenance have anything to do with this:

[Date Error] Could not connect to the update server.
Please restart the launcher. If the problem persists,
please contact Customer Support at https://us.ncsoft.com/en/support/.

E01005
NIC
updater.nclauncher.ncsoft._17231940

I have been getting that error message when I try to "launch" the launcher, since yesterday. Never got it before.
servers off already?
I believed the game itself would still be up, according to what vali posted.

Guess I wasted some things for nothing :(


Dang it, now off to real life stuff!!

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much for those being logged into the game being able to remain in game. The whole server went down.

This is still not fixed.
server up again??????????
Its amazing that still to this day some of you have yet to realize that NcWest has no control over the updates, and or no real means of giving you dates.

Everything they do is second hand.

I know NCkorea Has all the control. but still doesn't explain how ncjapan has an official release date and ncwest doesnt....

just sayin
Guys sstop the boting problem plis non event can't be joineble because of bot loging in milisecs. no dailys quest can't be done because armyes of bot's come and invade spot and pick items faster tah any char. Worst of this same persons that use this dam programs, uses them even in dailis quest mision's or att any farm of raid boss, soo the rest of us that don't use thous garbiges what we do?

OK - Again, how does my original post not answer this?
As usual fail..
mail bug not fixed
It may have been suggested before, but I would like to see a paid option to change dual class without deleveling back to 85. Hopefully this is released soon.
Main class change to a different class without losing level!

We are waiting on these two services. It's taking a little additional time to get developed.

Juji any news about it?

Thank you :)
I'd just like to note I blame ALL THIS on Vali!! ALL. OF. IT. :)

Yup, totally!
Yup, totally!

Nailed it! :D
My biggest wish is to disable all bots from the game and please return old school grind mode + better adena/items drop rate! But first of get rid of all the bots in server.. i don't get it why is it so hard... why other lineage 2 non-official servers have better security than global lineage 2? I guess i am not the only one who wants that.. Thank you in advance, cheers:)

well i think all players biggest wish is to remove bots and put a better protection or at least most of the players if not all but did u thought that maybe ncsoft dont want to disable bots? coz this is happening for many years and its not the last years.
As u said about other non official servers that have better protection etc why not official cant have prolly coz they dont want to have.so no point to discuss it i guess

But what's the point of this? Seriously? They are just ruining their game alowing bots to play, and those bots are growing each day, and it's like 80%bots and 20% real players these days. So i really don't get it why they would want to let bots play...

Well, we know they CAN find and ban the bots, because some spots which were bot infested, there are no bots to be found. The thing is, it shouldn't take a major expansion release to clean up "just for show". On another note, the economy is dangling by a string. They MUST return the double craft ability for mats and shots, increase spoils and drops, and adjust the NPC buy and sell prices to reflect the market. I'm probably asking for the impossible, but just have to vent every once and again so I don't punch my monitor.

There aren't enough Spoilers and Crafters to hold the economy up so those changes are worthless, and at this point in the game there aren't enough new players coming in willing to play those classes full-time, nor are there enough real players willing to switch to hold the economy up.


It would be nice to make a few players rich, though the best way to fix the economy is to fix the full drops from raids and instances like Fortuna, Istina, Spezion/Epic Spezion, etc.


To be quite frank, the Devs should be focusing on bringing prices down so that high level PvP is a bit more balanced.
pvp will only get balanced if they add a plugin that works the same way as ranger else forget about it lolz..
HI all seems like the best thread too ask the question. Is support page down ? I cant acces it from my location. Could be of the firewall at work:D.

Thanks in advance.

For those of days past, its Neiji IS dominator Chronos!!!Innersphereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

"A bit more balanced" != "totally balanced."


I don't pretend that gear disparity is the end all be all of PvP balance :-)

Yup. At this point I have to agree with you. Can't blame new players looking in from the outside, to even want to take the spoiler route. I'm pipe dreaming...gotta lie to myself sometimes just so I will log in. Yidao might be right when he mentioned that they are phasing out adena. I'd like to get in their heads for a moment to see what they are thinking.
