Race change will permanet service or temporary and what will cost adena , ncoin or another currency ?
You can probably leave the 40 ncoin hair accessory stuff out of the L2 store permanently. You should put that stuff in the Galleria. Or just sell it through the Fisherman NPC.


Happy Birthday L2!
Anti-bot part entering in this month or "soon(tm)"
What would be SNS :confused:

Unbelievable, the month opening on without even having an event by NCoin can only be on April, fools :D

P.S: Seeing the picture can not see any relation to what was described in the preview, I gather that is related to any of the contests for sure.

So about anti bot.. nothing guys! Keep enjoying your 200 players by hand in a server 2000+ ppl botting
So about anti bot.. nothing guys! Keep enjoying your 200 players by hand in a server 2000+ ppl botting
I swear every other whiner that posts complains about bot bot bot, no online game will ever completely rid themselves of bots, idc about they're process to eliminate them, idc if they bother to tell us, I don't wanna know nor care how they proceed with it, theres a couple hundred bot threads you can add your 2 cents in. I would rather read about updated helios patch notes, read the preliminary ones over and over, now instead of more speculation, lets get some confirmation. And increase the Adena/drop/spoil rates so people can enjoy exp'ing and grinding. Killing the drops killed the hardcore grinders in the game, now whats the point in grinding you can just do dailys, then go watch tv or play PS4, when they reset do it over again.

yea ofc, but if you dont do something about bots, you cant even think about increase the drop rate of adena or w/e, cuz if you see now 1k bots, after that you will see 5k.. So before you read the updates over and over, better say something about the thing that is killing the game ( if is it not already dead years ago), and no pray for new updates, pray for anti bot system and you will be seeing that 1k bots is transform to a 1k old players returning to the game.
You know this shet is like LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, so if you have a problem with a op champ/dc/scripters, riot give skin of any champion and all will be good :D! naa i dont like that **** anymore

if you want a good game, you dont need updates like that, you need keep ppl playing it.. When you log on in any server, you already see like 20 trains of bot, and you dont even want to play anymore

pd: sry my english is bad

you want to decrease the bots go back to 14.99 a month and having to purchase the first month to create a account, before f2p, yes there were bots, but they tried to hide it more, so as to not have to keep repurchasing accounts that got banned.
People whining about bots in every god d*** thread is more annoying than the actual bots themselves. FFS can't we stay on a single topic around here? Monkeys are running the d*** zoo, no wonder ppl are fed up. Thanks for the update Juji.

Exactly!

But in other hand you gotta agree it's a major problem that we're facing over the years, so every desperate attempt to lure some attention to the problem is valid imo!

Thanks Juji for the news! Can't wait for Freya! :D
Merge then No Exp Loss!!! God its like christmas all over again PvP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What happen with Anti-bot system ?

If Bot disapear is the best upgrade, but i dont read nothing about this.

Anti-bot part entering in this month or "soon(tm)"

New "Anti-bot system" has been postponed till 2020
So instead of having free event like for the 11th anniversary, this one costs ncoin and will be delayed till like end of may lol.

And what happened to Helios and the new Antibot? Ncsoft Dont give care about players anymore delaying events and patches are the new events.:(

yea i see 2 part of the coin here, you have ppl that are with the open eyes seeing this will be dead game 1 year cuz nc only cares about money, no players.. and the players that are blind and FAN of NC, and defend it w/o reasons so.. more and more and more ppl are saying the game is broken, than the ppl who actualy say its ok.. so to all those fans, see the game is going down cuz gm are really bad.. complain about the thing that are really bad, cuz if u dont they will do nothing ( but i think if 4k players togheter do this, they will still care about money so..)

I understand they are running a business and need to make money but geez c'mon... if you're going to do that do it right ffs. If anything they're losing money hand over fists at the moment by pushing major events up and not giving people a reason to want to log in.

Both is true. Helios is three Korean patches wrapped into one, probably the biggest update since GoD. And the L2 team at NCWest consists only of Juji. Buster and the rest of the GMs, website people etc. are multi-purpose employees who split their time between Aion, Blade & Soul, and sometimes, just sometimes, Lineage 2 :)
btw as I remember last years we got also draco buff for 2-3 weeks + cat dance buff and etc. This year not even normal cat buff :D

Yidao, when Korea had their Anniversary event on what update build were they ? was that already Helios as if so that may have quite an impact on the system side of running the event seeing how significantly different the game server/client system etc files will be..

Oh yeah, looks like it was one of those "multi-purpose" morons,

may be in year 2012, my char got frozen in some location, and could not login with him at all, always crit while selecting char, so I ask GM to teleport me to Giran town.
"multi-purpose" GM offered me to read some AION article, and gave me advices about Aion TWICE, while I said TWO TIMES that I play lineage 2 and named my server...
since talking with wall is not funny, I just PMed community manager here at forums and got teleported in 10 min
"We are trying to increase drops because 100+ people are running with immortal gear"

April 1st - We were kidding.
Dear Moderators , when will you open tranfers to new server freya? And freya to other?

The 12th Anniversary event ran in Korea from October 21 to December 2:

http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/%EC%96%B4%EB%A9%94%EC%9D%B4%EC%A7%95+%EB%93%80%EC% 98%A4

This is after the original Helios update from September 16:
http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=607435
but before the skill balancing on December 9, which is part of our version of Helios:
http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=612042

This means the Anniversary event was between two different builds that have been unified into a third build for the Overseas Territories. Strange and unexpected things are bound to happen during our Anniversary :D
Race Change Ticket
The race change ticket will be coming soon!

I am sorry, it will be permanent or only for limited period of time.
Hope that it will be permanent like name change or gender change, these things
are quite usefull some times :)

tell us more about this duo 12th anniversary event?
it is something about connecting accounts? new temporary missions to lvl up? this is as much i understood from google translate
The Duo Event is remotely similar to the Mentoring System. An active players is linking up with a dormant/returning player, and the returning player gets a 30 day Specter/Seraph equipment set, while the old player gets a Duo Bracelet that gives among other things a 30% exp/SP bonus (in Korea it was deleted 3 months later):

Apart from that the "Mentee" gets all sorts of buffs and exp giving items (http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/%EA%B2%BD%ED%97%98%EC%9D%98+%EC%84%9C+-+Lv1%28%EB%A9%94%EC%9D%B8+%ED%81%B4%EB%9E%98%EC%8A %A4%EC%9A%A9%29), temporary boss jewelry, Immortal Codices (http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/%EB%B6%88%EB%B3%80%EC%9D%98+%EB%B9%84%EC%A0%84%EC% 84%9C+%EC%84%9C%EC%9E%A5) and whatnot as he or she levels up. The mission is simply to go exp:

Already Apr 2nd, change the 1st post for real Preview!
Less events and more anti bot system. A server when 2500/3000 players are on bot mode the first that need is clean those bots not events...
So, lemme get this clear: March Preview only for the White Assassin suit (wow, just a change of color in the pattern, so demanding! so now ppl stop looking like ratchet beggars to Assassin's Creed wannabes, that's nice!) and r you telling us that major part of this current Preview will only take place in next month? So, to avoid misunderstanding and stress on these boards by ppl asking the same d*mn question over and over a thousand times, why dont you come up with a Pre-Preview of the Month, this way you can skip a month and all be fine?

And for last, why dont we have the FINAL patchnotes yet? The clock is ticking down, guys...

P.s: Hi @Buster, where's my cookie? I want it!!!
Bots Server Zaken? Where??? :rolleyes:

But in other hand you gotta agree it's a major problemI do agree 110%. I'm just so sick of hearing about them in every thread of every different topic. We all know, we're all sick of them. But seeing every person jacking every thread is worse than town shout bot spam. It's the same annoyance, just on the other side.
+1 More and more people are getting bored, fed up and simply not logging.
This has been me lately....bored out of my skull....it feels like I'm having an early summer slump. I just don't feel like playing. I don't think an event will help me though, I'm just tired of things right now. I'd rather have some new content for my main, as well as some for lower alts.....otherwise, I'm just kind of burned out on the same old same old right now. Plus it's getting nicer outside. I'd rather spend spare cash on gas for my motorcycle than wasting it on Ncoin.

I feel ya. But, my current problem is, that I'm tired of hearing from clannies and friends that the game is boring and complaining about how the game completely sucks now. So I stopped logging in to vent and clan characters because its just depressing and such a downer. So I log in alts but then I don't have anything to do because XP grinding is boring now and there is nothing else you can do solo.
