O_oa They're all NOTDONE. So I don't see why everyone is thanking him. No offense to the OP, but this doesn't really add anything.

L2Inc has over 2k people on (and he doesn't use the offline vend to fake it either). Unfortunately I'm not too much of a fan of the admin there for a number of reasons. Plus the server is a bit of a clusterfuck the last time I was there (tons of random utility npcs spawned around, etc).

What are you trying to accomplish exactly? If you want it to be a pvp area, then go around and map coordinates for it and add it to the zones file. I'd say just making it a huge ass cuboid would be easiest, unless you want to exclude certain areas from being pvp.

First post updated. :)

Yeah, that's always the problem of getting players is that until you have a decent base, new players are hesitant to join. =P

Lot of updates have been done. http://l2echo.com/changelog.php to see everything. The info page needs to be updated to show a lot of these changes. Really I just need more player opinions at this point and anyone who's good at finding bugs. :)

I really doubt it since nBd (the owner of L2Inc) has a separate server set up for mysql I believe. He doesn't run the game server and sql on the same box due to the lag it generates with that many players.

Based on what logic? Because you like to run around with 10kkkkkkkkk adena? But what good does that do anyone? Nothing, it makes adena worthless. Lower shop prices + lower adena rate = player created shops can be used. Inflation is retarded in a virtual economy.

Right now it's just for donators and my early beta testers. Obviously with donations being unavailable at the moment (being that the server is so new and just in open beta, I thought it would be rude to start asking for donations), only the beta testers will have it. Sorry, but it's something I implemented to thank those who helped with the server. Though, it is 250x so I mean, it's not too hard to dual box a buffer and level one. That and party xp is double the regular rate just so people can level a buffer and not be slowed down leveling their own char. I may actually increase that though.

Honest, never heard of them. Played on L2Elite for almost 2 years, took a break from L2 for over a year (real life, joined military, etc), then came back to L2 and played on L2R, then L2Inc, and finally a few test servers owned by friends.

Read the site. It's all clearly laid out. I had provided a link, did you just not want to click it? http://l2echo.com/info.html Never heard of them. And to be honest, the name came to me while I was falling asleep and thinking about airforce stuf (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, etc) since I ran into an old friend from the airforce the other day.

Site: L2Echo - http://l2echo.com/ Rates: XP/SP - 250x Adena - 25x (all items in shops have a 0.1x price modifier applied to make them even more affordable without inflating adena rates) Party XP - 500x (2x the normal rate) About the server: Most importantly, there will NEVER be a donation item that will give a player an advantage over another in pvp. Baylor and Beleth have most of their skills working (minus the intro animations). Beleth is the only way to get Dynasty armor on the server. As far as I've seen, there aren't too many L2J servers that even bother with these two bosses beyond spawning them and leaving them alone with broken skills and whatnot. Most level 81 skills ARE working along with 4 caster classes getting a new aoe at level 85 (Meteor or Starfall depending on the class). The level 85 skill can be seen in videos of Gracia Final trailers. And for anyone worried about "GM Corruption", the staff has, and always will have VERY limited privileges. Their jobs are to manage events and answer petitions, meaning they'll never be able to enchant player's gear, create items, kill mobs, or even tank for players. Enchanting: Safe enchant limit - +3 for everything except one piece armors which are +4. Normal scrolls - 66% success. Blessed scrolls - 75% success. Max enchant for weapon/armor/jewels - 20. General Changes: There is just ONE NPC that handles most functions including teleport, warehouse, gm shop, dyes, augmenting, buffs, subclassing, vip area, etc. The gm shop offers weapons up to S grade, S80 are dropped from grand bosses and to a lesser degree, from all RBs in the world. Apella armor is now sold exclusively through the GM shop and has modified stats. It has the same armor rating as S grade armor, but the armor bonuses are improved. Autolearn skills - Enabled Autoloot - Enabled Death Penalty Debuff - Disabled. Buff Limit - 20+4 (Divine Inspiration) and 12 Songs/Dances. Buff duration for most buffs (aside from self buffs) has been increased to two hours. Chances of getting an augment skill with different levels of stones has been increased slightly. 60 second spawn protection. Weight limit increased by 3x (CP pots weight increased by 4x). Item Changes: Augmented items can now be freighted to characters on the same account. Mana potions added. Skill Changes: Many level 81 skills now added! Working on getting them as close to retail as possible with the current information I can find on them. January saw the biggest addition of missing skills for the server and you can see all the ones that were added that month here: http://l2echo.com/changelog_0901.php Though every day I'm adding or fixing skills as I get more information from retail sources on them. PvP/PK Changes: PK'ers will not be able to use potions (CP/HP/MP). While flagged for pvp, teleporting using an NPC will be unavailable outside of town. PvP rewards are enabled. Spawn guards are in place only in a few key areas. Subclass Changes: 5 subclasses instead of 3 are allowed. Overlord is now available as a subclass. Max level for subclasses is 85. Kamaels on VIP accounts can add dagger and bow classes. Clan Related: 24 hour clan penalties/dissolution. Life crystals not needed for clan skills. 10 rep points are gained instead of 1 each time you kill an enemy clan member during clan war. Clan leaders may now earn reputation for their clans by killing raid bosses (no quest involved). 250 points are automatically given each time a clan leader does so. Voice Commands: Type .help in game to get the current list of all available commands. Leveling/Farming: Currently there are two custom farming areas. There are a number of spawned bosses in each area. These bosses are somewhat harder than their real counterparts but drop Icarus weapons along with adena and life stones.

ROFL! Staunton = Th3On3 Wow, this just shows how pathetic and immature you are. From your advertisement post of your own server in the priv server section: Development Team -------------------------------------- Th3On3/Staunton (1 person) - Admin/Owner A-Style - Community Manager/Dev Cobra - Head GM Keichi - GM HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm not even bothering with you anymore. You're not even worth my time. Soooooo sad.

Lin-ee-edge

It's one thing to charge for doing something you know how to do. It's a whole other thing to charge someone to do shit you have no idea how to do and get other people to do for you. Which is pretty much exactly what you're doing. You're clueless for the most part when it comes to coding. You claim 3 years experience with L2J but can't do basic shit. You only just started messing around with L2Off back in May, so I assume your 3 years of L2J experience is more like 3 months. It pisses me off when people can't do certain parts of their job and expect other people to pick up the slack where they fail. THAT is what bothers me about you, this thread, and your general attitude. You advertise your "services" here then you go over to the L2J server boards and ask people there to basically do your job for you. Pathetic.

Thanks for this. Actually nice since it prevents item spamming (with a 15 second duration and 10 sec recharge). Plus it means healing classes can't be invincible from pot spam.

LOL! Experienced my ass! Some of Th3On3's posts from the L2J forums this month: Really? Can't even figure out how to set a character's level to maximum upon entering? There are two different methods to do this actually. Fail. Guess it was too hard to spend 30 seconds searching for the answer. Basic stuff. Experienced dev had no clue how to set permissions for other access levels in the database. This is basic shit. Common sense stuff. Couldn't be bothered to search and find the TONS of threads with code already available to the public about how to readd these. Nice. Those are just from the month of December. Now honestly I have nothing against Th3On3 personally. What I do have a problem with is someone acting all high and mighty on one forum (here for example) and then posting noob-ass-first-week-L2J-couldn't-be-bothered-to-search questions on another forum. That's when I take issue and decide to shed light on just who exactly this person is. So hey, if any of you want to pay this guy, have fun. But you should at least know what kind of service you'll be getting. :) Have fun all! Edit: Oh wow... while reading through other stuff I came across this thread of his... http://www.maxcheaters.com/forum/index.php?topic=37885.0 Only a month before posting this thread. LOL. So apparently he became an expert in a month and STILL can't figure out the easy shit. Wow.

Pyro, why is your name so familiar? Did you play on Elite a while back?
