Have you bought the car yet? ;D

Ye, unfortunately is not Tales with 18 billion real online (I know it shows 1k now but the statistics load slowly :dat: )

Hopefully they can put up a huge advertisement :>

+1 on that one

cca 3-4,000 online now 2,000 after a week 1000 after a month After three months, devs will open new server and this one will get abandoned with 100-200 online. Seriously what's the point of playing on cash milking server like this or Tales, for me it looks like an incredibly stupid thing to do. Better wait for some serious server that doesn't open just to get cash out of your wallet.

It's more about principal, really. There's a difference when servers have donations to cover part of the operating costs (L2Citadel, RF etc.) and server which are being open just to earn cash (this Averia, Tales, ILs like Mid or Blaze etc.) Servers like Averia and Tales are ultimately rotten in its core, because you can be 100% sure devs don't care about nothing but earning cash from you. When the cash harvest time is over, they'll let it finish it's days and open a new server that will kill the current one or simply open a new one. I can 100% guarantee you that in less than half year there'll be same discussions right here in this topic when Averia opens a new midrate servers. It's one's decision to play here, but everyone should know that playing here is simply creating an environment for paying players out of oneselves.

That's exactly it. Just quickly cash in, then abandon the project and start working on a new one, while switching LR and MR. You don't care about neither server itself or player themselves, you just open it to collect cash. Shame on you, you're killing the name of private servers.

Mhm, that's the reason I find my last alternative in the official servers on Innova once they open the Classic server, even if it was to be p2p.

Both Tales and Averia are cashcatch server, nothing to do with the old private server spirit. They're guaranteed to close and reopen within the first year to "catch the cash" from opening days, then they're going to survive just enough but no longer to keep it at least remotely not awkward. There're very few servers opened just for its cause to choose from, like Raidfight or Citadel. However those don't promise fake 10k online counters, so they have only their loyal based community. My probably last chance will be l2Classic on official Innova. I just hope it will be P2P.

That's just, like, your opinion man. I've had a chance to play l2classic on a private and I'm extremelly hyped up for its launch on official for us non-koreans. Can't wait to slay bots in classic environment like in good ole' times.

Thanks for leaking but... I mean... That's it, private L2 servers are official dead. L2Classic on official (Innova) will be the way to go until Lineage Eternal/Lineage 3.

I'm kind of scared about L2Classic Dex though. It sure will have a great community on start, but who can guarantee that they won't just close and re-open it after a year as they're know to be doing?

Looks great, the newbie bonus pack was a good move too

Yup, if they haven't changed it:

I'm sad they aren't continuing with this one, the admin worked hard af to fix all the bugs reported.

^This, THIS so much. Just because its taken from newer chronicles doesn't mean it's not custom - GoD+ mobs and textures just DON'T FIT the chronicle. It's just awkward. It's like taking a baseball cap with a suit. Just a no-no. Rework unused RB with INTERLUDE textures next time instead.

They actually confirmed Dex L2classic a while back on PMfun: http://forum.pmfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=53158

Mark me as STILL WAITING FOR DEX Lineage2Classic SERVER

It's very simple. There are basically two kinds of servers, if we exclude those homemades not worth mentioning: 1. - Servers with a lot of hard work put in them but not enough advertising. They have a potential to be long, stable +1k servers since devs take care of them, make constant events, don't make OP donations etc; BUT they thought the players will somehow come on their own which didn't happen since they had no idea that such server exists. 2. - Servers with a lot of advertising, but non existent work on them - aka copy pasta generic middle rates á la L2Tales - 20-50x rates, alt+b buffer, gmshop up to S, done. A lot of people come because that's the most popular settings now, but soon they realize devs are just sitting on their butts, collecting the money and doing nothing - even the events are fully automatic. When they reach some final point there's nothing to do, because admin's bank account is filled and they don't care anymore. L2 community is not as huge as it used to be, but I think there's still potential to create a largest server ever if you somehow manage to accomplish both these points. However it's obvious it would have to be unique project with continously updated lategame content, perfect newcomers packs after months etc and for love of heavens, extreme advertising.

i don't think so, but I also can't connect to the website.

Well hopefully they'll manage to open it during March :)
