Thank you very much for your post and the kind words :) Also, yes, we strongly encourage people to try it and see first hand what we have done, and see the difference in quality in our server has to offer vs others. It is apparent right away!

Hello, and thank you for posting :) Here is what you should know about making a character on our server. 1.) As you level up you will be given rewards/items to help you. Such as Adena to be able to afford each and every armor set. Also you will get pop up windows giving tips about the server/information and also direct ports to where you should be leveling at. 2.) At some point, as long as you are online long enough, a GM will personally welcome you, and greet you and ask if you have any questions and give additional information about our new player benefits. 3.) You can use your newbie scrolls (you start with 1000) to get a free S84 armor set at the GM Shop's newbie section. These sets there will say for example Oath Elegia. I want to make sure you know Oath items are actually very good. They have the same stats as normal items, and they also have special benefits. They are easier to enchant, and easier to add elementals to. You can also mix them with a normal armor set and still get the set bonus. The only down side is that they are not tradable, but its highly recommended to use them. Their enchant rates are 73% (normal is 70%) and for blesseds 78% (normal blesseds are 75%). You can get Oath Blesseds with your newbie scrolls at the newbie section of the GM Shop 4.) You can get more newbie scrolls from events, instances, and voting. All give great prizes to everyone already, but new players get additional prizes stacked on top of the normal rewards in the form of newbie scrolls to help you catch up. The more newbie scrolls you get the more you can enhance your character and your Oath items. 5.) Events are one of the best ways to get items/adena. You get prizes from events even if you lose that event. So its in your best interest to do them. They are also very fun of course, you just need level 84 first. 4.) We have special events designed for new players called "Limited" mode events. Limited mode events make it where if anyone has an item over +10, it has the same stats of +10 instead. It also blocks the use of any hero/clan skills. This makes it much more fair for new players to play. When an event is announced it will say mode "Limited" or mode "Default" events are in limited mode 50% of the time. So watch for them. 6.) We hope you get a chance to test our many features such as: Achievements, PvP Streaks, PvP Rewards, PvP Assists (Support classes get prizes and recognition in PvP too), Rebirthing, Custom Instances, Choosable Weapon Glows. .dressme, lots of configurable settings in .options. Our custom event engine, and so much more! 7.) I advise that new players sell their Giant's Codex Mastery (GCM) on the Giran market/to other players, because they are worth 2.5b+ Adena. It can help you build your character much faster by taking advantage of the high market values. Getting your skills +++ is really an end game thing, besides you will obtain plenty GC, Oath GC, and Oath GCM to sufficiently enchant your skills anyways. 8.) we offer PvP/PvP protection against newer players, we have safe zones to farm, but we also have a special buff that prevents anyone from attacking you if they are more then 1 level apart, so with this you can bring a safe zone with you everywhere if you meet the requirements. Additionally if there are circumstances where you can be PKed and its an old player vs a new player that person gets double the karma and double the PKs. You can't work off your karma here in just a few mobs, we don't work like that. 9.) Feel free to contact me at any time, type /gm in game to submit a petition, or email me at balls006@hotmail.com, or on Facebook. Additionally new clans get free clan levels/reputation depending on how many players they bring Also we list all the clans on the server that recruit new players and who to contact to get into those clans, and what languages those clans speak. All this information above and more is available as reference in game when you type .newbie additional questions/information can be found in .faq We also offer a gm shop service that helps players build their character, and of course GMs (and myself personally) will take time out for you and give you advice about your class, or anything you could be missing that could make you stronger. TLDR: Free gear, extra enchant rates for new players, tons of extra rewards, extra prizes from everyday activities, Events Designed for new players, Excellent GM Support/advice on building your character. PvP/PK Protection/Safe Zones. Also the ongoing improvements to the new player bonuses. Hope this helps!

Here are some recent updates! - Website Updates, Newbie Protection improvements and more! - We have added more ways to protect new players! - Now instead of of getting x2 PKs and karma when killing a new player you get x3 and automatically get +2 death penalty. - The Murderer Achievement has been updated, you now need 50 Overall PKs rather then normal PKs. - When you PK a new player, you will NOT get overall PKs increased, so it won't help towards the Murderer Achievement anymore. If you want to see your overall PKs type the .stats command. - You can now trade up more Adena at once for gold bars at the GM Shop (up to 40) instead of capping out at 4. - .newbie > Which clans recruit new players has been updated (new clan added), also the forums section on clan recruiting has been updated to reflect this change. - Fixed a problem where cursed weapon owners could not talk to the Global GK, now they can, they will get the same options as red players (limited ports). - increased the strength of cursed weapons to encourage people to use them/have fun with them, instead of just wanting to get it removed. - Fixed a problem that makes it incredibly hard for low level characters to get rid of karma, now its much more fair. Its a problem new players encounter often when PvPing their friends. - Players can now vote every 12 hours instead of 24! Enjoy. - The Quest Guide for The Other Side of the Truth (Freya part 1) was added to www.L2Equanimity.com. - The Quest Guide for Request of an Ice Merchant (Freya part 2) was added to www.L2Equanimity.com. - The Quest Guide for Acquisition of Divine Sword (Freya part 3) was added to www.L2Equanimity.com. - The Quest Guide for Meeting Sirra (Freya part 4) was added towww.L2Equanimity.com. - The Quest Guide for Reunion With Sirra (Freya part 5) was added towww.L2Equanimity.com. - The Quest Guide for Repent Your Sins (PK Removal Quest) was added to www.L2Equanimity.com.

Hello, and thank you for posting, and your suggestion. However, this month marks our 7 year anniversary (0 wipes too). Each and every year we have become more successful then the year before. So we don't need to make a new server :) We just keep updating, and add new features to our current one.
-
Thanks for posting :) and giving honest feedback I would like to point out something, in regards to the server being overwhelming to some people (which you are right), however you also said you were somewhat insulted when the GM kept trying to give you tips. This seems to be different sides of the same blade so to speak. Because our server is quite different and can be overwhelming, we try really hard to try and make sure people understand it. I am sorry if you were insulted in anyway. Just we are trying to help in regards to the issue you have brought up. In the thousands of players i have welcomed, 95% of them who claimed they knew everything, did not, i could switch it up and give them an interesting tagling like "Did you know this?" just to check if they really knew everything, and they didn't, and then they were like, ok go ahead and give me some tips. I can see you very sharp mentally, not everyone is like that as you know, and that is partially why that happened. Sorry for the problems. Another thing i would like to point out, is no one can fully figure out a server in just a few days (you may get an idea), but just deciding which classes are OP or not, and everything about the end game, is a bit forward. I hope you see where i am coming from in this regard. Again, thank you for your honest feedback :)
-
Thank you for your understanding. I can see where you are coming from as well. I know we can't keep everyones interest, however we have a lot more stuff to do then most servers. So even if your an old player, there is usually a good amount of things to do to keep your interest. Weather it be achievements, or Events, or trying to get all our unlockable cosmetics, or exploring classes they wouldn't normally play due to our assist PvP system and more. Also, there are a lot of people in the L2 community who need/seek a non wipe server. For example, people in the military who are gone for 6 months or more at a time. or people simply undergoing a life change, moving, getting a new job etc. Or people who just simply need to take a break and get into a new game release. Most other servers, you are gone for 6 months or so.. everything gone, its wiped, or the server has died, and its not a good feeling. We actually try to welcome all our new players, see if they have any questions, and give them advice if they are open to it. We also tell them about our 6+ year online and 0 wipe record. The response from this is unbelievably positive. It gives people faith int he server, that it actually has a future, and they don't have to worry about their items disappearing. I am grateful that you are going to give it a shot, i hope to hear what you think!

Thanks for posting :) Note, we have NEVER wiped. I have already posted why, but ill copy/paste it: First and foremost wipes are generally used to exploit users and draw in players. Wipes are great for servers that are unbalanced and not properly designed, thus needed th restart for everyone to be even again. Due to low quality servers using this tactic over and over again, most people are brainwashed into thinking wipes are good. However, wipes for the most part are bad, and you are getting screwed over. Hmm, we are definitely not empty, nor do we need a new start/fresh start, we are more successful in our 6th year online, then any other year, and we continue to do better each and every time, thus proving we don't need it. Also you should consider the following: During peak hours we generally have 450+ online, on weekends more like 550+, take note there is like 100 to 150 shops though. However, generally speaking our online counts should not be compared to other servers directly. 99% of servers have fake online counts/use immoral tactics to boost their online count such as the following: 1: Fake online counts in general, just the owners putting fake values into their online counts 2: Allowing botting/or not caring enough about it, also boosts online counts, making it where the server looks like it has more players 3: Actually coding fake players for the server, they look like normal players, but generally stay in town and move around time to time. 4: Other servers often reward their players for advertising on other servers forums and social media pages. Which is highly immoral. They call it an advertising contest. 5: Other servers hire/create bots to go into other servers and spam advertisements (via in game mail) so they don't get caught as quick, as normal shouts etc. 6: A lot of servers set up their website to force you to automatically like their Facebook page with out your knowledge, thus exploiting their traffic for thousands of dollars worth of free advertising. 7: Wiping/Closing/Renaming: As most people know, a lot of servers wipe/have seasons to encourage people to come back to "re-balance" the server. If a server really needs this to make it more playable, its not a well designed server. Wipes are a way to compensate for design flaws. People are also brainwashed into think wipes are good, cause they generally play bad servers to begin with. Servers should be designed for the long term like ours, that's why we are still around after 6+ years. Wipes are another way to spur donations as well, also closing/renaming is common among the private server community, which is of course is a scam as well. So you will replay/reinvest in a server you already played that will disappoint you again. 8: DDoS attacking the competition: Some servers are well known for DDoS attacking other servers especially on opening days, or siege day to make them lose players. Especially servers that share the same demographic as their own. We don't use any of these cheats/exploits/immoral tactics. And most servers are really not as big as they claim to be due to the use of one or more of these. So try to take this into consideration before choosing a server you a play. TLDR: Wipes are for servers not properly designed for the long term, and generally used by admins to exploit their users to spur activity and donations. The general population is brainwashed into thinking they are good due to the fact that most servers are not that good, and need it to balance the server out due to poor design. Wipes create distrust between players and the staff too. Also, we have proven through out time we don't need wipes, over time we have become more and more successful. Opposed to servers who do wipe that slowly die out and then eventually wipe again.

Awesome, and thanks for posting :) If you have any questions or concerns. Just let me know, and feel free to contact me in private if you need for one on one help/advice/tips/info about the server at balls006@hotmail.com

Thanks for the positive posts :) Feel free to provide feedback about the server. Also if you need anyone 1 on 1 help you can email me at balls006@Hotmail.com, or on Facebook (L2 Equanimity or Jerome Tyrome) We strive to provide great support and great bonuses for new players. For those who don't know about our new player bonuses here is the an outline: Here is what you should know about making a character on our server. 1.)

As always, updating :) - New Patch, dressme updates and more! - Patch Version 5.3 has been released, so run our updater or download our new patch! - .info > Farming Area Info was updated it was extremely out dated, updated all sections and a FoW section was added to, thanks Reaper91. - S Grade Weapon token has been added to the server and a new section to .dressme for weapons for S grade weapons, but for the time being is only available for Banner Contest Winners. We will add another way later. - Fixed several tattoos skill icons not showing up in players passive skills, or displaying the wrong skill descriptions (need the patch to correct this) - Updated .dressme for weapons, a "Special" section has been added, it contains boss weapons and Pear of Anguish. Please note that Boss weapons are only donatable for, but don't worry they do not have better stats then top weapons, many of their abilities have been nerfed and/or don't work at all. They are simply skins, and won't effect game play. Pear of Anguish is at the PvP section of the GM shop for 75 PvP Coins. - Added Information Pedestals to Gludin, for some reason there weren't any there, or we accidentally deleted them sometime in the past. - Updated the text page about unlocking Assassin Suit. - Tried to fix the issue with summons/pets not following after killing mobs randomly sometimes, let me know if the change has helped or if its fixed it, or made it worse. - GM tool updates.
-
Here are some of our more recent updates: :) - Zombie Invasions and Halloween Cloaks are back! - Fixed an issue with Tattoos being unequipped while leveling and in other odd times. - We are currently having a BANNER CONTEST winners get donation credit/Halloween Cloak/Early Access to S Grade Weapon token and more! Type .contest or check the forums for details. - Our main NPCs have been converted to our Halloween theme! - Zombie invasion is back! GMs will be running this event all month, its the only way to get the Halloween cloak! There should be around 1 cloak drop per event. Remember zombies can infect players to make them zombies as well, once a player is a zombie they can then make other players zombies too by spreading their disease, have fun! Please note zombie invasion numbers has been increased! - Removed Giran Luxury shop from selling soul crystals for super cheap, we want you guys to actually level them to 10 in custom zones (its not hard don't worry) - .tattoos and .soulcrystals now works, originally just .soulcrystal and .tattoo worked which was confusing cause some items etc reference it. - Updated Baium for Dummies NPC, it lets people know the time it takes for Baium to go back to sleep after not being hit is 10 minutes here. Note this is not new, its been like this for over a year, we just want the information to be easier to find. - Fixed a typo .in .tattoos, Tattoo of Penetration gives 2% Crit power, not crit rate, thanks for the report! - Various Donation updates. - Updated .faq and added sections for PvP assists, Soul Crystals, and Tattoos. - Various GM tool updates, to make things easier/more efficient/take less time for GMs.
-
We are certainly not dead, and not boring as hell. Seems like you didn't give us a chance :) We have more features then any other server i know of.
-
Thanks for the kind words :)
-
Thank you for your post! We really appreciate it, and we hope to see you and your friends in game :)
-
As always we are updating! - Equip-able Tattoos have been added to the server and more! Type .news for the details. - Client Patch version 5.2 has been released, make sure to update your client with our auto updater, or use our new patch. A lot of this update can only be seen if you update your files. - Tattoos have now been introduced to our server. Most people know about them, the L2 community seems quite fond of them. They are known to be very unbalanced, but our way we will try to keep it balanced. You can type the command .tattoos to see all tattoos and what they give. 27 Tattoos in total were added. All stats are subject to change. They are essentially an extra piece of equipment that gives some stats. All stats are subject change. The goal is to create more diversity/different builds/more to do. - Tattoos are obtained at the Merchant of Mammon you need a level 18 Soul Crystal 30 PvP Coins and 2m AA to get it. We now have custom ways to level up soul crystals explained below. - Soul Crystals can be leveled on Frozen/VoL mobs up to level 10, level 11 to 16 is done on either T rex, Nymp, FoR Mobs, or custom/epic raids, but raids are not required until later. after that Raids are required to get to 18. You can use the command .soulcrystals for help and details on the %s of each mob and how it works with more specifics. Difficulty/chances to level up crystals are subject to change. - There will be more things to obtain with soul crystals in the future. - New players automatically obtain a free randomized Oath Tattoo when they make a new character which is obviously non trade-able. Players that are still new to the server (made with in the last few months) can claim their Oath Tattoo now at the Achievement claim service at the GM Shop. Since new players automatically get one, this means tattoos don't really make a bigger gap between new and old players. Again these were introduced for my diversity/builds, not to make old players stronger then new ones. - Level 18 Soul Crystals now may be exchanged at the merchant of mammon for a different color. The price for the exchange is 10 PvP Coins and 100k AA. - The way Warp/Blink skills work has been changed. If you keep spamming these types of skills over and over again, you will eventually develop a range penalty. Please note you can still use it for a little while with out a penalty. Every second that goes by the penalty is decreased until it disappears, but each time you use a warp/blink type skill it adds to this range penalty. So not using it makes it go back to normal. Spam it over and over again it won't move you far at all. This penalty rate etc is subject to change. - Updated .newbie > Which clans recruit new players section! - Updated news posts on our websites main page. - Updates news posts on our Auto Updater. - The description of ways to get A grade weapon token was updated to reflect how you currently get it. - When someone destroys another players kill streak, it is now announced, if it was over 3. - Fixed an issue with our new .safety feature, depending on how you order your items when you sell them, anything before the protected item sold would disappear and stop when it reached a protected item, if your protected item was first, it would not cause a problem, regardless this issue is now fixed, thx Mali6ka for reporting. - A Bulgarian section has been added to the forums. - A new rule is now in place, we do not allow people to publicly talk about account buying/selling/trading in shout/hero/trade chat/all chat. As most know we do not support this, and people end up getting scammed on a daily bases, despite us telling you not to. There is no way for us to stop people from doing this realistically, but we won't allow you to publicly discuss it on our server, if you shout about it you may be chat banned with out warning. - Big updates to GM tools, to make things more efficient, and easier on the GM side. - Automated announcements and .info tips have been updated to include newer features such as Character Builder service.<br1> - The command .staff was updated to include information about the GMs we box to help take care of petitions/newbie welcomes faster, such as Balls2, Balls3 Reaper92, to help avoid confusion. Also you will notice Reaper91 is now Head GM! - Various client side updates that include: updated soul crystal descriptions that relate to tattoos and how to use them for convenience/user friendliness. Client side quest information for Enhance your Weapon quest to include text about Tattoos and custom mobs/raids and .soulcrystals command. Warp/Blink description updates so its understood how they work. Discipline Codex (for changing skill route) now clearly states that you can lose skill enchants by using it, so that there is no confusion. Boss Weapons descriptions have been updated so people know they are not designed for PvP here, Elegia Leather set bonus light up issues were fixed, some skill enchant route text by NCSoft were fixed, and more. - If you find any bugs with the above updates, or any other bugs in general, please report them!

Currently during peak hours we generally get 390 to 440 online daily. Please note there are 90 to 130 shops though. Weekends/sieges go higher though generally 500+ :) We have over 6 years online, no wipes, we are extremely stable! Thank you for your post.
-
Thanks for the kind words, well sort of haha There is much more the 100 players online, its easy to see that, amybe you are logging in during a time zone where there are not as many online? but even at night we at our lowest times we have more then that. There is nice amoutn of pvp, not counting events, there is even pvp announcements when pvp is going on, anyone can log in and watch for it (pvp announcements do not trigger from events) I feel you have judged the server very quickly, but oh well :P Your views are extremely biased and don't represent whats really going on, but you are entitled to your opinion. Also, i have not encontered a server in which their vote system could not be cheated in some sort of way, its one of those things you are damned if you do, and damne dif you don't. If you don't have a vote system, you have no votes, and if you do, people will cheat it, but thats why a lot of our vote rewards are untradable, and you can only redeem so many votes per day per character so you can only benefit so much from cheating. Please note, we are not a new server, we have been open for over 6 years, no wipes, no closing, we are nto new to this, we are highly stable, and if what you rsaying was tue (100 players) it would pretty much impossible for us to still be around, it would not be able to pay the bills. So again, not sure if you logged in right after a restart, or when people are sleeping or what :P Here is what you should know about making a character on our server. 1.) As you level up you will be given rewards/items to help you. Such as Adena to be able to afford each and every armor set. Also you will get pop up windows giving tips about the server/information and also direct ports to where you should be leveling at. 2.) At some point, as long as you are online long enough, a GM will personally welcome you, and greet you and ask if you have any questions and give additional information about our new player benefits. 3.)

I want to make sure you know Oath items are actually very good. They have the same stats as normal items, and they also have special benefits. They are easier to enchant, and easier to add elementals to. You can also mix them with a normal armor set and still get the set bonus. The only down side is that they are not tradable, but its highly recommended to use them. Their enchant rates are 73% (normal is 70%) and for blesseds 78% (normal blesseds are 75%). You can get Oath Blesseds with your newbie scrolls at the newbie section of the GM Shop 4.) You can get more newbie scrolls from events, instances, and voting. All give great prizes to everyone already, but new players get additional prizes stacked on top of the normal rewards in the form of newbie scrolls to help you catch up. The more newbie scrolls you get the more you can enhance your character and your Oath items. 5.) Events are one of the best ways to get items/adena. You get prizes from events even if you lose that event. So its in your best interest to do them. They are also very fun of course, you just need level 84 first. 6.) We have special events designed for new players called "Limited" mode events. Limited mode events make it where if anyone has an item over +10, it has the same stats of +10 instead. It also blocks the use of any hero/clan skills. This makes it much more fair for new players to play. When an event is announced it will say mode "Limited" or mode "Default" events are in limited mode 50% of the time. So watch for them. 7.) We hope you get a chance to test our many features such as: Achievements, PvP Streaks, PvP Rewards, PvP Assists (Support classes get prizes and recognition in PvP too), Rebirthing, Custom Instances, Choosable Weapon Glows. .dressme, lots of configurable settings in .options. Our custom event engine, and so much more! 8.) I advise that new players sell their Giant's Codex Mastery (GCM) on the Giran market/to other players, because they are worth 2.5b+ Adena. It can help you build your character much faster by taking advantage of the high market values. Getting your skills +++ is really an end game thing, besides you will obtain plenty GC, Oath GC, and Oath GCM to sufficiently enchant your skills anyways. 9.) we offer PvP/PvP protection against newer players, we have safe zones to farm, but we also have a special buff that prevents anyone from attacking you if they are more then 1 level apart, so with this you can bring a safe zone with you everywhere if you meet the requirements. Additionally if there are circumstances where you can be PKed and its an old player vs a new player that person gets double the karma and double the PKs. You can't work off your karma here in just a few mobs, we don't work like that. 10.) Feel free to contact me at any time, type /gm in game to submit a petition, or email me at balls006@hotmail.com, or on Facebook. Additionally new clans get free clan levels/reputation depending on how many players they bring Also we list all the clans on the server that recruit new players and who to contact to get into those clans, and what languages those clans speak. All this information above and more is available as reference in game when you type .newbie additional questions/information can be found in .faq We also offer a gm shop service that helps players build their character, and of course GMs (and myself personally) will take time out for you and give you advice about your class, or anything you could be missing that could make you stronger.

Thanks so much for your post! I realy appreciate it. and i am glad you see can see what we are doing, trying to make a mix of high and low, and even mid all in one server, and trying to make things as fun as possible (even if there is some farming involved). As always, we are updating and trying to keep things fun! So here are some recent updates. A new GM Shop service has been added to help you make your character stronger, and other updates! - We have created a new GM Shop Serviced called "Character Builder". This is a service that helps you make your character stronger with tips/suggestions/information. This is just the first implementation of it, so it will get more in depth over time. For example right now it checks for things like Weapon Resist rebirth skills, Making sure you have Divine Inspiration maxed out, Make sure you have last breath type rebirth skills, making sure you are noble, checking for sleep/bleed/hold rebirth type skills, making sure you are max level, and making sure you have your certs maxed out. In the future we plan on class specific recommendations, and dye set ups etc. So if you are wondering how to make your character stronger, see if it says anything for you! Enjoy. - One of our old GMs have returned to help us out! His name is Dudu, you will see him around! If you have any issues with him, feel free to contact Balls directly at balls006@hotmail.com. - Fixed an issue when a clan removed its penalty at the GM shop with GE, and the server restarted with in that 24 hours, they were re-given back the penalty. This is now resolved and won't happy anymore. - Various GM tool updates to help make things easier to manage! - .newbie > Which clans recruit new players has been updated! Don't forget to contact us if you want your clan added here! - Now when a player gets a new PvP streak rank upgrade ( every 3 kills in a streak) there will be a global announcement about it. - Fixed a problem with event scoreboards DCing players at the end of an event we many players signed up. We had too many players online/participating in events recently that the html load of the community board where the scoreboards were at it overloaded the client limit. Now the scoreboard mechanics are more dynamic and will create new pages automatically every 15 players. - Using Shadow Step and Rush type skills is now blocked if you have the CTF Flag in an event. Please note Warp, Blink, and Hide were already blocked in these situations.

Thanks for the reply! :D Here are some more recent updates :) New GM Shop Service, no more accidents at the GM Shop, Archer update, dressme update and more! - Now NPCs that require you to trade in gear (armor exchange, weapon exchange, blessed zaken etc) will NOT take your ++ items by accident, these shops now require +0 items to be traded in, the pop up warning windows have been updated to reflect this change. This is to help avoid mistakes and wasted time and frustrating petitions to help GMs and Players. - Due to the above change, some people may not always have +0 items to turn in, so we added a new service to the GM shop Remove Enchantments from your gear so it can be traded to these NPC shops if necessary. - Fixed an issue where Newbie Bonus Chest has a small chance of giving you nothing, thanks Larina for reporting. - Skrill has been added to .donate as a payment option and also a button on our websites donation page. - Fixed an issue with Star Fall, its cast time was much longer then retail (which was not on purpose), thanks Eyon for reporting. - GM tool updates to help make things easier on GMs. On this note, Balls is no longer needed to do special name changes where the name already exists and needs to be swapped between two characters (which are both owned by you, we won't still peoples names). Normal GMs can now do this as well. - Screwed up something with instanced clan halls last update, its now fixed, thanks for reporting! - Posted on our website a compilation of the last few months of updates, go check it out!. - Updated our .newbie -> "Which Clans recruit new players" section. - In another effort to ease the difficulty for archers on our server they can now VR damage like melee weapons can, however they are some conditions it won't work in PvP/Against players what so ever, it will only work on mobs, but the VR amount for bows is half of what a normal weapon would be. - .dressme requirements/conditions have been simplified, there is now no level requirement or grade requirement, if it causes problems (which it may), we will put the conditions back. This was done because a high % of new players we talk to "think" that .dressme is broke cause they don't read system messages, we want them to experience our features asap! - In addition to above, its more convenient to do dressme, if your dressme mode is not on it will automatically turn on when you click any weapon/armor in .dressme to look at it.

Most days around 400, weekends/sieges can get 500+. usually there is 100 or so shops though. :)

Here is some more of our recent updates :) Various fixes/updates including minor fixes to cancels, instances, clan halls, rebirths. Also you can now check out our many PvP Rewards/features all in one place! - Added a new section to the faq called "What are the PvP rewards here?" That gives an overview of our PvP rewards/Features/Helpful PvP information. It has come to my attention that we have quite a bit of PvP features/rewards but not all the information can be found in one place, now it can! Everyone is encouraged to check it out. - The command .pvprewards has been added it sends you directly the faq section announced above. - The automatic notification when you get your first PvP has been updated to provide more information about our PvP rewards/PvP features/PvP information. - Updated Cancel type skills so that they can no longer take noblesse from you, so you don't have to worry about losing all your buffs if you happen to die with in the 30 seconds that you were cancelled. - fixed a bug that caused problems when Rebirthing a sub (we temporarily blocked Rebirthing subs due to this) but its fine now. - Updated our websites top PvP on the homepage to specifically say its "monthly" PvPs so people are not confused. - The video contest recently ended! Go check out the forums to see the results smile emoticon. We also encourage you to check our our new YouTube Channel Playlist that includes all videos from the most recent contest. - .faq > "How can I help the server" section has been updated, so if you are interested in helping the server, check it out. - The A grade section of .dressme for weapons is now available but remember the only current way to get the tokens is the video contest, we will add another way soon, but players may sell you theirs. - Fixed a problem where Custom/Instanced clan halls were not automatically being re-added to the auctioneers auction list (PS: one was just added :P) - We have made it where group buffs do not go through the wall to Baium's lair. Heals/rezes were already blocked well over a year ago. So everything should be blocked now. Please note animations worked before through the wall but they did nothing, now animations are blocked as well to help prevent thinking it still works. - Chant of Combat and Chant of Critical Attack now last 3 hours like other buffs, thanks for reporting. - The .newbie command section "Which clans recruit new players" has been updated with more clans that recruit new players, check it out! - The .faq section "How do Rebirths work" has been updated. It now also talks about Mini Rebirths as well. - The automated announced tips through out the day have been updated, so have the random tips in .info. - Some GM tools have been updated to help make things easier on GMs and to be more efficient. - Increased the notification chance for new players when shouting to let them know shouting from out of town is NOT global. Many new players think they are talking in global when they aren't. - Updated the .faq section that discusses how to get PvP items, it now includes the prices there. - Fixed an issue where we started "saving" peoples instances upon log out and restoring them when the logged back in. Turns out this method causes a lot of issues with solo/group instances its best to be kicked out upon restart/dc and re-enter at Beverly after you log back in to ensure functionality of the instance, otherwise it could bug out. The reason we added this was due to custom clan halls that are instanced, we made it where only if you are in a custom clan hall your instance will be saved instead. - With the above fix, it should also resolve the issue where peoples instances remain "open" and that player can not start another instance even when their other one was finished or expired. - Fixed an issue where when porting to FoR Farmzone from a custom Clan Halls you would still be in an instance, thus not seeing any mobs. - Fixed a problem where Judicators could not rebirth. They were never in our rebirth script before, because they were not a main class, but now they are added since you can get subs to 85 now.

Thanks so much for the reply! I really appreciate it :D Our updates/posts are outdated here on max cheaters so i will try and catch things up with our more current updates! Various fixes/updates! - The recipes that are supposed to be at the recipe merchant like on retail as many of you know is removed here, however, these recipes are now available at the spoil section of the GM Shop instead. - Fixed an issue with .dressme for various robe sets such as Elegia, Vorpal, Dynasty, Moirai and major arcana, it was missing the Sigil, thanks for the report! - Archer/Crossbow weapons now do more damage to monsters in VoL/Frozen to help make things more user friendly for archer classes, this is subject to change. - Updated the Valakas For Dummies Guide NPC, it had some outdated information there about Valakas spawn time. - Added .security to the commands page (.commands), it was missing, to help notify people about how to protect their accounts. - Updated event announcements to also include the mode type when saying how many minutes are left until registration closes. This was done to make it easier to notice which type of event it is, such as newbies noticing its a limited mode event or not. - Floran was added to the list of locations a red player can port to from the Global GK. - The donation section has had various updates.

Sounds great :) I hope to see you in game.
