Yeah but one of the main balance problems in these chronicles comes directly from brooch system.
But If you guys know the way to balance La Vie En Rose Party UD+Battle Rhapso buff (stacked with normal rhap , abundance etc) so ppl wont see sky high damage numbers then it is alright.
Didnt even mention Topaz jewel but I hope you got it under control.
Current Ncsoft doesnt give a single damn about the game...so everything working like retail may not always be the perfect choice.
(Infact, I would delete ALL Items that were designed from the original L2Store)
Perhaps not a PvP server but higher rates would attract more ppl (in my opinion).
Still, I wish u good luck ( you surely got some guts trying something different from H5 or Interlude).
