It's rumored that there will be fresh servers also :) but that's not officially confirmed.

Bye Bye private servers

Look up frost.

 

Look up how many people play on RU Retail vs leaked hFive RU servers.

(Not counting l2j or GF at all)

 

When the private servers which only has rates changes get more players then retail which is free 2 play, you can bet your ass something is not being done right.

 

 

IF anything this might be good.

whats the trick ? less exp sp etc... ?

Currently in retail(High Five), its already super easy to reach 76, in a month, just playing casually 3-4 hours a day, and don't tell me its not, because I just made a char 78 in 1 month. So imagine how easy it is now.. its going to be even easier in Goddess of Destruction. Obviously they will implement a cash shop, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they sell...

 

I saw all of the 3 sites, couldn't go through the whole L2 forum tho ;D

 

When they say near future, they mean before christmas, or middle of 2012?

It should happen when Goddess of Destruction releases, which is rumored to end of November 2011

the option to pay for a premium account giving x2 exp, guaranteed server slot(enter server, even if full), running multiple clients. Also, of course theirs a "cash shop", where you can buy various items, and from what I've seen on the l2.ru, its not anything that interferes TOO much with gameplay. A few things in cash shop include, ® Grade SS/BSS, Auxiliary Stones, Elixers, Agathions, Mounts, Town SOE's, Teleport flags, basic buff scrolls. Yeah, sure, there are a few things such as Auxiliary Stones that you can say "pay to win, no thanks", but they have to make their money some how.

There are only 2 - 3 Retail NA servers left in existence.... more players play on private servers than Retail.

 

NC Soft needs to boost rates to 5x and the servers will fill up again.... make spoils 10x/adena 10x etc.... drops 2x.... and consolidate buffs into 5 - 9 buffs only ( no more 30 buffs)

 

Then have donations for small stuff, and it will be best L2 server ever... but they will only have to pay for 2x.... and normal people play with 1x Xp....

NcSoft and Innova needs to behave like p. server for their future cash out of this game. Looks like on KR and RU works, so I'm sure it will work for EU also.

About NCWest.. god bless them.

 

For sure no more l2off private servers.

 

I guess that p. servers running High Five Part 5 100% L2OFF will continue, but it is just one like this atm.
