Make last chance for players to enjoy their game and wait for the new server. Don't hurry! It's very important as you understand. It's your decision to make new server. WIPE = new server. New rates also say it as well as many novelties (comparing to this one). Yes I think so, and its true.
-----

MY VISION:

Let all possible people know about it. Put it to different language sites - as you perfectly have different (populated!!) language zones in it... People in their regions will clone.

Such C1 would be unique. So ppl would copypaste to their video/other regions in their mother tongue.

Put a lot of hard nostalgy in every short language ad. Search people talking (as I see in their sighs for old times), put ads there. Sort google results by time and last forums "lineage c1" treads will read thousands of oldschool players!

Why do (we're lots and poorly a few of us - altogether):

lemme begin from a little afar:

There is already a great deal of ready people with ready ads over the Net about C1. It exit, almost all people know about that it will be possible to find opening C1 themselves in search engine. So let them just not. Don't overwhelm your ad with much info.
Put C1 C1 C1 C1 ... everywhere... (Picture.. may be a short movie) a few text 5-10 point ..mb some more. Every point must be well-defined and linked to video & pictures.

NEXT: You should make serious awards on your old working server (you could even make in PVP). Or make beta-PVP and put awards.. as you with - FOR ADVERTISING A NEW PURELY WIPED SERVER. It would be from the very beginning. State on creativity (mb someone would want to make own ad on upcoming x2 server.. the more the online - the severe rates are gama-market revivel, castles top const mage packs, live buffs.. all grow faster). And of course put your good advertisement to ready-form-post.. to their communities.

Some of players play on both new server and could drain ppl from there (pure confronting two servers - NEW OPENED SERVERS always win ))
------------------------
why should you bother
wait/ad
------------------------
Real situation: C1 in any case could not be such as in old times (though do make ppl think IT WOULD). Simple explanation:

Once Lineage was first and newly
Anyone didn't bother just went in to official server kindly
It was exciting, wonderful, unknown, no DB, no disparity.
People intuitively new if a newly thing -> THEN it would be stable for some time. All payed 15 dollars. All were equal. And noone thought of it STILL! Then new updates attracted more ppl C2.. etc

NOW: Today ppl demand they demand severely and every point. 10-year-old bases. You see.. both servers underwent trolls pure attaks. And it would be so.

Only not so many people know/remember / even, REALISE what non-new chronicles are. But their new firstly-engraved impressions are for the most part of official servers LATEST chronicles experience. So it's just their first impressions.

YES, again lots of lots of people know about C1 remember.. but not so many. Not compared to firstly appeared revolutinous game! let me guess maximum 10k ppl wish to play Lineage C1 (c3 as an non-exiting option.. don't matter...!). 10k is the FINAL FRONTIER LIMIT. Its not millions ppl as in the past. Besides ppl know almost every game aspect and could compare c1-c18 as always.

so.. let me take realistic 3k of potential wishing to play ppl in English tongue world: If we take

ONE THOUSAND PPL - > it is 50-100 maximum online (10-20 every evening's online with couple traders). etc etc etc..
all Lineage-knowing ppl are elder-aged would search almost momentarily their desired C1. 10k of about of potential clients is reachable market share. Just let them know.
Playable online 500k is possible from 10k potential.

1000k of live ppl is unreal so forget forget forget....

500k is in perspective to aspire. It would be a good playing oldschool server. And oldschool pictures from the start would revive old memories alive.

IS donation + bonuses on C1(0) EQUAL to no donation on C3(4)?
If not, what brings more distress donation on C0 or no donation on C4?

think about it

both cases you could improve things upon si zero - ask smeli to write donation things (like angel's feather & devil's island) and keep them in balance, si four - balance would be kept by cutting things down YOURSELF

yes this is a painful way of asking this question, though this is a critical one:
some ppl pay money and the other side receives them. so how much to donate to classical chronicles?

How can I help with the test of the server?

All is the delusion for optimists and hyperbolised. I'm precise watcher. Now at night 2-3 + Azot. Azot encompasses all giran permanently. Mb hah. No eng players....
let me see now
30-40= half and all delusion
170 ... it can be seen clearly from any time of the day that it is about 170 constant - no day/night variations. As one of the twinks of The Azot said
Server is dead ©BloodyQueen (...some time deep at night) - no response!
several pushes in order to excite initiative in orders players talk... lead only to only ONE english speaking player .. who is russian-native!11
30 bots= AZOT AZOT AZOT only!
6 online.. not so but about 8-10 mb today's 6(

dead serv showing work during constraint restart , or showing 114 during continuous official shutdown (login,npc,..)

try far
through total commander (instructions) ajdust it (tc) to windows 2000 compatibility mode (total.exe)... then run through total
