All game servers will be down for maintenance beginning Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at 5:00 a.m. PDT / 7:00 a.m. CDT / 8:00 a.m. EDT / 1:00 p.m. GMT (https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=5368361,4671654,5128581,14&h=4671654&date=2016-6-8&sln=7-9.5) and ending at approximately 7:20 a.m. PDT / 9:20 a.m. CDT / 10:20 a.m. EDT / 3:20 p.m. GMT. Estimated downtime is 2 hours 20 minutes.

With this maintenance:


A new build will be deployed to include the Abundance Talisman, available Wednesday, June 8, 2016 through Wednesday, June 29, 2016.
Standard server maintenance will be performed.

If you have any questions about the changes taking place during tomorrow's maintenance, please feel free to post them on the Lineage II forum (http://boards.lineage2.com/). Please follow @L2andAionOps (https://twitter.com/L2andAionOps) for updates.
I guess Red Libra #1 starts one week later for 14-days. Both Events will end on the 29th of June. So Helios will come out on the 29th since Red Libra #1 wont work in Helios Client. I guess this all will make more sense to me. I really had high hopes and expectations for tomorrow's maintenance. I guess we got fooled again.
I was hoping that Red Libra would start tomorrow. :(
A new build will be deployed? I've never seen it worded that way in notes before.

Interesting. This doesn't seem to be just an L2Store update. If I'm not mistaken you can buy abundance items with GE and Rgems in other locales. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm also assuming that the new anti-bot will be built for helios, so probably 3 weeks for that as well as *hopefully* the update around that time.

I think I've seen Brooch stuff for sale IG for GE or RGems, not Abundance. But I'm not sure too.

Again even for "donator" ppl... i m pretty bored for this kind of events. first put something for "donators" and botters who got 10000b adena... and after that put some low events for "normal" ppl who are playing this game for fun. Gl NCsoft you are doing it great!
Stop crying.
First of all, no one told you that its an event.
Secondly, even if store update made for "donator" people you will have chance to get talismans on good price.
Go against the system and get talismans through underground chests, if you are donate-hater.

OMFG seriously how old are u peps? 4-5-6?
A donation means that the receiver doesn't own anything to the donator.
Check it on your 12 years old sister's dictionary.
Meanwhile when someone buys something he excanges money for a thing or a service.
So L2store it's the place for buyers and if u want to give away real money without expectin nothing in return do it to me. :D
ROFLMAO.

P.s. The smartest move could be to tell to a lawyer that L2 it's a donation place and see him laughing to the death.

The real question is why are people still buying nccoin, especially after this "anti bot" fails? After it fails, no one has a right to complain about botters anymore, because if it wasn't clear to everyone already, that the company will do nothing about it.
After this maintenance all bot users will get the perma ban they deserve? or this will happen later in future maintenances?

Well mmos, all of them, are played by two categories of ppl.
1st one do it for fun; has a job a real life a girl or a wife and maybe kids
[he/she stays connected max 2 hours x day] u can have a +100000 bow, a + 20000 armor but those guys/girls simply don't care how mad u can be.
2nd one do it for life; he hasn't a real life so he need to gain some sort of appreciation in here [he/she stays connected at least 12 hours x day x every day]; to obtain this appreciation they need to be on top of a bunch of pixels buying everything is on the market in adena, bucks, euros, or the like.

The ppl will continue to spend real money on whatever s h i t l2 will throw at em up to show to the other player they have the biggest virtual d i c k.
So, in short terms, ncoins buyers=real life loosers.

That will never happen, at any point.

Or people buy them because, like any other hobby, it costs money. My point is everyone screams about bots, and at the same time continues to open their wallets, giving ncsoft 0 incentive to actually do something about the problem.

Resume:
Some of the forum users are irreparably stupid.

Put it this way unless u are collecting picasso's, monet, manet and the like u don't need to go to Soteby's to play a game of enjoy an hobby.
No real human beeing with a real brain will spend 50k bucks for pixels, trust me. Expecially if that hobby will be deleted the next year :rolleyes: when L2 development will stop even in the far east.
Wanna c who has spend so much when ncwest will say sry we don't host L2 anymore so u have to spend another 50k bucks on our newest game :D

LOL, no one spends 50k on this game or any other. Also, everyone knows game will be shut down in a year or less, so I'm sure people are smart enough to look at spending money on this game as an investment. It's more like going to a casino, you will spend money get nothing in return, but at least you had fun.

Again, none of this is the point I was making. You cannot cry about bots, then continue to give money to this company, and expect anything to change.

U are far way too hones Luczin. Wanna know something new?
How do u think so many ppl have obtained a +10 R99 armor with a +12 dark R99 weap in just like 5 f u c k i n' days ?
1k bucks for the armor [only the lesser bla bla]
3k bucks for the weap

4k bucks in 5 days :D

If u want i can post ss of some madman, a lot of em, doing this **** whitout anyone calling the 911 for their mental health
Resume:

Are you the one stupid? Did you bot too much and now you don't want to get ban? Who will be the stupid after Gm's ban bots. The bot player or the legit player ?. Please don't comment stupid things if you don't have idea ty.
After this maintenance all bot users will get the perma ban they deserve? or this will happen later in future maintenances?

Ok I see now: you must be an owner of a few bot trains, that's why you are so concerned about their fate that you cannot even properly read and comprehend the announcements.

Unlike you, I have nothing to worry about; it is you who's asking stupid questions, got it now?

LOL what you think it costs to make those items is not even close to what it does.

R99 robe set: 24 lessers to get my robe set +10, so that was like $250. Bought the tunic at +8 already for around 4billion at the time, got the rest of the robe set doing raids. Got enchants from raids, instances, events, buying some. Did not keep track of number of scrolls used.

Dark +10 retri: Spent 450$ on fortune teller event on zaken, which gave me 2 dark weapon stones, kelbem bow, longing, 7 dark armor stones, too many boss jewels to remember, x4 giant LS, etc. Bought the clean retri for 1.5billion in town. Selling all that stuff I didn't need, gave me the funds to get blessing scroll for weapon, and the rest of the mats I still needed, that I didn't get from 1st event, and instances, and to buy most of the lesser giants weapon stones I needed from other players.

So for those two items was around 700$ usd. Again, no one spends 50k on this game or any other.

Plz stop posting useless things about my post and if you don't know the answer im looking for stay away of my post and go take care of your bot trains, because if gm's do the ban today maybe you will stop playing this game and will start to play again. Understand?

"As we very purposefully don’t share details regarding the types of methods we employ to detect bots."

I'm pretty the same way they won't share the details HOW they wont share WHEN... Just saying.
LOL, no one spends 50k on this game or any other.

Well, as I remember, quite a few people right here in this forum bragged about spending 10k dollars (or euros) on NCoins on monthly basis (or, at least, regularly enough). Well, some of them have recently stopped posting, so I can't help wondering what happened to them. I just hope they did not die from starvation or fresh air deprivation. :D

However, they, at least, spent their money in the way approved by NCsoft. Whereas there's a huge "shady segment" of playerbase that never buys NCoins, barely farms anything in game, yet they are sporting uber weapons, armors, and all kinds of epics. (I'm itching to specify regions of the world they are mostly coming from, but I better refrain for now.) They shout about "buying NCoins for adena" all the time, and they have hundreds of billions of adena.
How do you think they got those amounts of adena?
That's right, from RMT sites.

Yet some of them have the nerve to complain about "too many bots in game" and "RMT spam in towns".

In fact, nothing has changed since the Beta days (when the freshly released game was already overrun by adena farmers), it's just the corrupt community that's getting only worse and worse in the course of time.
Voo(d) got perma ban from forum if that's who you were missing Aconyte ;)

I've read that this game was going to close in less than a year for the last 6 years, still waiting.
ammm ncsoft sayed that? or your best friend?

I've been hearing it since C4, but then they had live GMs, the producers had assistants, they didn't outsource community managers, and the game was not stuck with all these issues that they have had over the past few months. On top of that the korean servers weren't about to fall apart either.
XP/SP Boost 50% will be extended until the Helios Update :D

Good new thanks.

You post here, will you dare post in the cheat detection thread?!?
XP/SP Boost 50% will be extended until the Helios Update :D

Juji milk everywhere to get some players !! :D

If u guys understand what i mean :p

And I've been hearing it since 2004. It was Prelude when the doomsayers were like: "Lineage 2 will not last even a few months! When World of Warcraft is released, everyone will leave this farmer-pestered game for good and move to WoW!"
So after maint it's 500NC for 1 Gemstone aka Abundance Box :rolleyes: ?
The price was risen again and the chances i guess were lowered.
Your marketing strategy is bad...

Edit:
wait... why is there an "Infinite" word below the item quantity slot ???
Is it like a cube????

Just to be cristal clear
1 piece of armor + 10 = 20-25 lesser = 200-250 euros
every set has 5 pieces of armor = 1k if maths it's the same all around the world. Wondering who gave u that tons of billions for the weap. However it's 3k euros.
With 4k euros i will go on holyday with my gf for 4 month.
Have fun watching a monitor :D

P.s. Ask Yadao what the koreans said about L2 development in 2k and 17.

I've been hearing it since 2006, this are totally different this time and it has nothing to do with bots. No need to argue, proof will be in the pudding.
I'm 3 talisman asking the merchant to get 1 talisman outlaw and can not catch it says that this missing 1 talisman. Lack something else besides the three talisman or this bugged the npc ??

Since they have censored the Holy Grail (성배, among Giants also known as Bifröst (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifr%C3%B6st)) out of the Helios lore, we must assume that NCWest, for obvious political reasons, does not intend to run "Grand Crusade", where the players are fighting the crusaders, Foundation (http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1385#p29317)-style:

(the second part of my post)

Compare this:

to the Korean original:

So I will rephrase a previous statement of mine:
Helios is the last update at NCWest.

:D
lol Yidao we both know that it just means NCWest will rename it to something else while the actual content will be still the same so there will still be updates after Helios ;)

drama llama wanna be detected :D

What would Lineage 2 be without dramaz? :p

Remember when Moxie had the developers paint over the naked breast of a war goddess in the Aden Weapons & Armor Shop? Now check the symbol on the back of Guard Captain Isberg at 4:23 in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1G6QDAR2Dw&feature=youtu.be
(via the Settings cogwheel you can turn on English subtitles)

The breast was a static object, while Isberg is moving around. On the other hand, in order to adapt to the Chinese market the Blade & Soul team fired their Art Director (http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1497#p31436) and redesigned the clothes to something more modest. Now let's see how far they will take the forgery with Grand Crusade. I LOVE this game :D

NCwest could just ask the devs to replace the cross with the crescent, and rename the Crusaders to Mujahideen, problem solved. :p
