ECONOMY of lineage servers.

[sandpants]

Free source Java destroyed the way that l2 private servers were rolling and forums ofc. In my old age of 15 i remebered that were like 10 private servers with big communities and well developed work. Now with all this custom butterflies and the ease to ppen a server even to your laptop, have killed the way that lineage 2 was.

 

And now if a server is opened on a dedicated machine and the source is rare like L2Off and L2DC the server stays up for more than 2 weeks??

 

No.

 

L2 is dieing because it is boring. Because a majority of Admins simply open server because they can. They have no future aims.

 

NCSoft in Korea made changes lately to siege systems which brought back a big bunch of old players because they understood that after pve to 99 there is nothing to do in the game. Ingame player politics proved to be entertaining for gamers and good for business, so NCsoft applies changes.

 

In korea L2 changes every 2 weeks. Not new chronicles but minor updates and changes to systems.

 

At the end of the day this is the only thing this game is good for - money. Big companies and admins have visions on how to make it long term - it's good for them, they gain more money with less hassle, unlike most private server admins who expect with 5 donations to get 2x machine price and close server.

 

Remaining player community is crap as well. Most hide in towns and the most common pvp is in olympiad. If a high rate is without MP pots players rage quit no matter the compromise (high mp regen/MoT pots/elixirs/ boosted recharge).

 

You don't think these things are natural though? It's an old game.

We can love it all we want. But it's not coming back. Most admins are only full of words and greedy hands.

There will not be an L2 server where the feeling is of medevil setting, knights, magicians, sword fights, sieges.

Problem is new generation players, they want ''easy game play'' but after few weeks they QQ about everybody having top items and server becoming boring, they want balance but also they want MP pots and NPC Buffer with full buffs!

 

They see server staff as personal in game assistants who have to help them 24/7 and understand half completed bug reports that dont even make sense!

 

They want many L2 features to be custom for instance farm catacombs without reg, fort farm where all people can farm when it should be only clan who is registered and so on!

 

Most new generation players dont even know what they want, they are confused and most of them dont even know what L2 means!

Economy is important to me too, not killing 1 mob and getting 10kk its stupid even on high rates if adena is main currency
