Nothing special in particular with l2 aeron except these simple facts/pros that aeron has:
1. They have upgraded lameguard to smartguard and ppl has learned to appreciate the antibot system more, because they can now toggle auto cp
2. They have added a weird visual system which ppl like because they can also disable them and some people really like god armors
3. GM Lime spends a fortune in advertising, promoting it so it looks like server is not dying but the truth is, new players join all the time while the old players leaves.
4. Sadly, even if other hi5 pvp server would open instead of aeron (for example if aeron would close), a part of hi5 pvp community would be unreacheable because they do not check topsites or forums, they only click on ads and join by chance.
5. Thanks to Mandarine "kid gm" doing events every few days, ppl has more reasons to stay because they can par up against donators if they win events and since this mandarine is desperate to make events, players form more bonds and like the idea of getting +20 enchants often.
6. Aeron has gained a stable and good reputation during these years while all the high five pvp servers that opened during these 4 years never remained alive so community trust this server, they will never give up on aeron to join some sh1t serbidor (example => axel or my svs cuz i dont bother or care about communty anymore).
Either way im happy that Aeron works so great, at least we wont see Axel sh1tty sevidors anymore :happyforever:. Axel died in the first day, 2nd day almost empty sv, around 100 real or fewer.
