This is a DISCUSSION and only a DISCUSSION
Hey MxC world,
I'm an old time member of the forum, since 2010 to be exact, and I've been playing L2 prior to joining. I have experience with various platforms, chronicles, and the game in general.
I was born in a Russian-speaking household and raised in Canada. And in order for me to retain my native language I play on RU servers (private mainly)
THIS is where the question of mine comes in.
I've played on EU private servers advertised on TopZone, L2HopZone, and here all the way back in 2012 and even now. One thing remained, the EU private servers are bad. There is no other way to put it but it's bad. And very bad to add to that.
It seems like in EU people start servers every day, they just pop one after another, with ridiculous features. Safe enchant of 15? Max enchant of 30? 100% enchant scrolls? Apella/Ferum/??? sets?
Why are EU servers so poorly developed?
I'm not saying RU servers are flawless and the devs make no mistakes, for some reason the RU admins know what attracts players.
In what world is a 7 year long server with no-wipe a good thing? Do you think I want to join a place where people have been playing for 7 years with no wipe? How can I ever reach their gear?
I open the topsites for EU servers and the Private Servers section here and it's disappointment. EU has been failing at L2 Private Servers for almost a decade.... and it's sad

EDIT: In almost all EU servers there is a 100% enchant scroll. In RU private servers they don't exist. Enchanting is a CHANCE feature. It should never be something 100% attainable. Everything else in the game is attainable indefinitely. Enchanting is the ONE thing that should be chance based.
