Today a new voting system will be added to our server, voting for the server can now get you the reward :) Currently it works for mmtop.ru only but we will think something about other top pages as well. More information in here.

As you know, since we're using retail quest model, each quest item drop rate needs to be rated separately and rating them all one by one takes a bit of time  :)

That is why we would like to ask you, which quests item drop rate should be made priority. Please share your opinion in here. Thanks for the help :)

2012.05.08

Note: Since todays update mainly consists of rated quests ,( why it takes such a long time we explained already) tomorrow we will try to address most of newly reported bugs.

• Fixed monster teleportation issues in some regions.
  
• Groundwork for some future unique events.
  
• Rated item drop rate for these quests:

Well, it was decided, that sub quest you have to do normally :) On the one hand, you are right that quest is annoying to do but on the other hand, those raids are the major pvp spots and to many players that is what makes the game interesting... 

Thanks for the opinion :) We will think something about those statistics.

Well, I do not know about the "last server" part since it is only up to you to decide but I can guarantee you the "long" part, server is no wipe so even if you decide to try your luck elsewhere you can always come back and pick up where you left off :)

Well forum activity is not that much of a criteria to estimate the online in this case :) I have server topics in a few other forums (whole section in PmFun) and quite a lot of people are interested and discussions are active in those forums as well. 

We are very happy since a lot of international players are coming this time, at least a few cp from Russia (I've heard that the whole clan considers coming to play), at least a few cp of Spanish speaking players (btw one of our developers speaks Spanish), also Greek and Polish players :) 

Advertising is also not yet over so who knows.

New Poll in our forum - what kind of Server Statistic you would like to see in our webpage :)

You can express your opinion in here.

bump

I am not talking about L2Tower only you know... There are plenty of other programs, which will get you autobanned for sure. Many of them were tested and security system deals with them just fine :)

Anyway, there is no point in arguing about it, you would like to bot - we will do our best not to allow it and that kinda concludes it all :D

Have a good nights sleep and cya soon.

It is not like we are going to hunt bots 24/7, our team is not that big and we usually have more important things to do, however, we are not going to allow players to bot legally :)

Well, it is like "if you have managed to get your bot through the security - lucky you" but the majority will probably be banned while trying.
