# My opinions #
*Players must understand that server have almost 1 year of life since last Re-opening
*About game balance as i know its everythink C1 style but more or less balanced right , so i think on this point server its ok.
*ATM i cant change soulshot fee , and about make stuff easier for newbies i played myself to level 35 and i think is not hard being a newbie plus scope of C1 i consider is keep players on low level max time as posible and they must enjoy it

Sorry but i dont use skipe

Hey Madocter,

I am glad to see that I've seen small change in Yashma. Which is welcome. Also I can gladly say that some of the old players have come back, I am expecting even more of them, since there are new servers that they went on, and usually those servers comes down within 2-8 weeks of its start.

However, now I can see the dropping down prices in C- Crystals already, and mostly the fault for it is the fact that A) RB's still drop too much stuff, they are already worth killing for better xp, so please if possible to decrease the drops. cool.gif It ruins the value of regular hunting since it first better exp killing raids, and chance for drops is incredibly high compared to regular hunting.

I've seen alot of new names in chat and that makes me thing this server has a future and you have taken right step towards wherever this server is heading.

Just want to point out there is something fishy in this Yintzu mob, I dont really need that particular mob to change but, since it says 25% chance to spoil Avadon boots recipe, and 75% chance to spoil Drake leather boot parts. I got 38 Drake Leather boot parts, before I got my first Avadon boots rec.

I just wanted to add my opinion about the material drop from low and high level raidbosses - It should be lowered about 10 times; at the moment I have over 1200 Crafted Leathers in warehouse, and I didn't craft a single one (animal skins and leathers not touched). Same thing with oriharukon.

Also would be nice, if SSD recipe would be modified (for example taking 2 times more mana and mats, giving 2 times more shots) - it is a pain for me to click ssd, that is why when I sell shots I sell mainly C shots - newbies might be disencouraged to play on the server, where there are no D shots to buy.

I absolutely agree with my friend Siho. I think RB's surely drop also too much materials, things like Oriharukon, we have so much of that that we could craft 10 soes I think. And that also affects material buyings from newbies and effectiveness of having an own spoiler, to get the mats. Atm we are just crafting those B grade things where we have the keymats and recipes for, no need to buy mats from anyone since just killing raids i get most of them. I think if Raidboss should drop things like CL, it shouldnt drop it more than 10 at most. I think 50 is a bit too damn much =) And same thing with others SOP Maybe 15 max. Is just simply too much worth killing raids so people dont form normal parties.

Also drops from D grade raids should be reduced slightly but not by much, since people cant kill them much anyways before they are 40+

so sad

[Vardahoth]

I thought I would throw in my two cents, since I am studying to be a programmer to make a game like this one.

There is nothing wrong with this game (other than a few bugs). The game system design is perfect in my opinion. I myself am working on a buffer (currently 22) solo exp (currently in no-grade gear) just fine. The thing I realize is because there is a lack of community, I know I won't be able to find parties or dwarfs to craft gear for me, or sell mats to so I can buy gear from players. So I have to make these classes myself (which is why I'm leveling a buffer to start). I don't have any friends I'm joining this server with and I'm here because this is the type of game I enjoy and know I will never see anything like it.

Making the game easier (i.e.: making raidbosses drop more stuffs, increasing rate, getting buff npc's, all gear selling in npc shops, so forth) is not a long term solution to fix why this server is empty.

Basically it comes down to advertising. Make sure you are on the top-20 of those private server websites. I never found for what I was looking for there:
prelude.
x5rate or lower.
no donating to get gear or improve chances in gameplay.

The only way I heard about this server was by googling "lineage 2 c1", and vwhalla, found it.

In short, you have to advertise. Now getting people to help you advertise is trickey. Using the voting thing. Basically here is what you do...

1. Take into account how many accounts have logged in to play in the last week. At least 60% of those accounts must vote in order to give the server some type of advantage (add another 1x to the rates or something). You can figure out the numbers, but you get the point.
2. Everyone who votes gets access to a buff npc for 2 hours a day (you can make the buffs last 2 hours).
3. Start a voting adena pool, and whoever wins the most votes (or ties), gets a pool of adena.

Be creative, but the important thing is to start advertising so people know about this server. Best of luck and I'll do my part of telling what little people I know about this server.

I think the fact that we need votes is true, but is already hard for buffer to survive in this server without having a party, so I wouldnt wanna make buffers useless and people not to play them. But I would agree on doing something like server maintenance to call it to reboot the server, then for next 1h the dropchance doubled or something like that. And when making the maintenance encourage people to vote. 'We are going on server maintenance, use this time to vote the server, we'll be back shortly'

[staco]

Awesome for the Raidboss drops. What you mean by online player map free to all? What is it? Is it possible to fix the radar also ? would be nice =)

6 : REOPENING ? i mean NOT wipe . but yes close server 1 , or 2 weeks. advertise again and do a reopening

I think that, with this move you will lose the existing ppl.. <-- This is my opinion...

My opinion is to give a "fake" counter system for some weeks or whatever... on the site...
for example, if the server has now 47ppl online the counter will show 147 ... (every time 100 more than the real number - this number can change..).
it sound idiotless (and evill) but i let you think about it...

[LedOFFski]

I vote for reopening. Something radical should be done to save server. Its impossible to play la2 when server's average online is 20-25 people.

[Lenny]

Hello guys,

I would like to add my 2 cents too.

1) Raidbosses - let them drop keys, eqipment drop on small chances. Do not add any customs.
2) Leveling was always ok. People are playing on c1 for reason. Making stuff easier isn't solution.
3) At this point, reopening of server as you said ( 2 weeks off and again start withouut wipe ) makes no sense at all. New players will never join server when they find out that there are clans with high levels and eqip.

If you really want ppl around again, wipe, is only solution right now. Repair some minor issues, make sure that raids will be rewarding and ppl will try to hunt them. Prepare some concept of small events ( it can be whatever u want...from hide & seek to race over map of l2, quiz, regular l2 events...)

You will never attract ppl with just small changes on, unfortunately, dead server.

[Lineage2C1-Staff]

Thanks lenny but i dont see necessary the wipe i think that the game in term of development, progress is not even finished. before i did wipe because server was funny right but all a disaster and wipe was the only way.

Reopening in my opinion will make many players play at same time. we are in a loop: some clans quit others quit because they dont have oponent vs fight , so people without clan quit too. many players come but they see low online and quit aswell

Server is old and some actions must be taken in order to equilibrate. we had bad times and good times before i mean times were online was 30 - 40 and times were online was 150 - 190 perfectly. The server already fixed minor problems mentioned

Lenny...you wanna wipe me? I've been here 9 months motherfuker I kill you...

Wipe is really the last thing to do, if everything else goes south, then you can think about it. But let's try to get it working as it is. One thing that worries me, after 2 nights ago reboot, I've logged in 2 times before going to sleep (busy days at work) and both times there was only 1 dwarf sitting in giran. And I didnt see much others, what the hell just happened during 2 days?!

I Wouldnt want wipe after being here for 3-4 months, managed to make 8 chars with my friend over level 46 with 2nd classchanges, and my first B grade set.
I know for fact I would start again even there was a wipe. But like I said that is the really last solution. Everything else needs to be tried before that, and one thing we should bare in mind, we will lose alot of players from old ones if wipe will be made. Some will start again for sure. Something radical needs to be made, I really personally dont think that reopening will help, but if that's the way you feel, well who am I to say no, you are the admin.

Oh yeah, please get the damn music off from this thread!!!
