Thanks again for posting.

 

I tried a fresh install of our server, and didn't have any issues.

 

Its important to note, we don't even use a custom LineageEffectsTextures.utx, its retail (for high five). Not sure how you would be getting this error unless you had your own version of this file, but i know you just said you did a fresh install.

 

Have you tried doing a fresh install (not custom patches) and launching with l2.exe (renaming l2.bin to exe) to see what ti does? cause again thats the same LineageEffectsTExtures.utx as retail, its not modified on our server.

I found this server through the forums here, and i feel like i owe it to this site to say my piece.

I joined L2EQ this summer searching for good place to stay and here's what i've found:

Pros: The biggest thing for me is the stability this server provides, as it's already been mentioned, the server has been online for years now and hasn't been wiped, neither they intend to. So if you're looking for a new server to join, rush and forget after a couple of months, this isn't for you. But if you're looking for something that will be around for a while, and all your hard work not going to waste, then this is definitely for you.

Second, is the newbie support system. They have added a system that lasts a whole month to help newbies, and believe when i tell you it makes you not want the month to end. It really helps a great deal and you won't feel left behind. From xp, to gear, to enchants, or whatever you may need. Certainly the best newbie system i've ever seen.

Third, customized stuff. They have added so many customs features and things, that it's literally overwhelming (in a good way) when you first join L2EQ. The gear is retail hi5, which is also a great deal, because if they had added custom gear after all these years you wouldn't be able to compete with the older players. Also, they have detailed guides placed at most towns for information, or you can use custom commands that has info and FAQ in general for almost any question you may have about the server.

Another thing is the community.  I joined as a newbie expecting to farm my way to a clan, but on my first week there one of the top clans invited me as a member. There's even a list btw you can check with the .newbie command, where you can check which clans are recruiting newbies, and with people that volunteer to help in general. I didn't expect that at all, tbh. Not to mention, that if you like pve like me, there's rb farm every single day, even if you don't have a clan or you're still new. The drops are very good and they will help you get on your feet really fast. Plus it has the usual voting system in place with rewards.

The GM support is almost daily, and even if you don't see a GM online, you can always email Ballz (the old school way) and he will reply at the same day, which i've tested and i'm grateful for.  Their attitude is professional and polite, so you won't have to worry about corrupted or rude GMs that ignore you there. 

I'm not much for PVP, but if you are there several places for it. One is a pvp farm area that has daily pvps there, another is a regular farm area that also has constant pvps. There are the usual arenas and so on, and events that are happening on the hour, with a variety of choices, which you can vote on btw. First time i've seen voting for events, but hey, at least it's here. Plus you get good rewards even if you lose.

It's worth mentioning also, that it's an english speaking server, and the rules are clear about flaming, so you don't see the kind of debauchery i'm used to on (semi-)pvp servers. There's trash talk to be sure, but not the type of flaming (naming mothers and so on) like i've seen around. It's pretty much a friendly global chat.

Lastly, there are donates available to get stuff and help the server, but it's the most passive donation system i've come across. I swear i didn't even notice it on the site till someone pointed it out to me, and in game you won't even find an npc or announcement or anything suggesting that you should donate. (except on the FAQ at the bottom i think). There is not even a question of pay2win about L2EQ, and even if you donate everything you wont be far ahead from others, since i'm already farmed as good as an old player, counting the gear only of course, and not enchants. 

Cons: First, would be the activity. This a tricky thing btw, since there are older players joining again after some time, so it's not like most servers. In general, the activity isn't like you'd see on a new server, that's the truth. But it has plenty of people around to have enough action to keep you entertained and sustain the economy. Personally, i would say that this server doesn't need more people online, it specifically needs "new" people to join. 

Second, and that's just a personal note, is the wars. If you decide to join a clan you most likely will end up being at war with another clan, and as a new member that's frustrating. It is understandable of course to have feuds for such an old server, but still it is annoying on a daily basis when you're still farming for your gear. Not that you can't farm in general, but you know how wars are.

That's all for now, and i can answer any question you may have btw, so pm if you want, or quote me here.

 

This server is really a gem, and i'm glad i've joined. Even if i change my mind tomorrow and leave, i can always come back a few months, or a year later and find my char ready to compete and enjoy the game again, and that to me is very reassuring, because i don't think i could have done that even on official L2. People are helpful and there's enough action everyday for hours and hours, that's the honest truth as i've witnessed it. 

I'm not gonna persuade anyone, you can just read my rant and either believe me or not. This is the first time i've written a review for a L2 server and  i get no reward from it, i only do it because i'm grateful. My advice would be to try it and see for yourselves what L2Equanimity has to offer , i doubt that  you will be disappointed.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for posting Punisher :)

Time for everybody to learn the ugly truth about l2 equanimity and his admin Balls. Sorry for the long post.

 

I joined this server about 3 years ago not only for the features but because i was convinced that admin (Balls) care so much and respected his users. I saw him reply in forum posts with dignity and respect, being active and he seemed to help players.

 

It didn't take long to realize server was under populated and facing some serious issues (class balancing, economy, luck of updates and fixes). I couldn't understand why and kept playing but things became worse almost in a monthly bases. After a while, the reasons became apparent. There were no updates nor fixes for the server. Some classes where heavily nerfed  and unplayable but every time someone dared to question this, his was flamed. Me and other people provided specific stats from tests (critical damage nerfs, robe healer users being undead) making the problems obvious but once again these voices were ignored or flamed. Specific updates being promised 1 year before i join are still not live (4 years later). The reasons for this are known and admin has shared these. Communicty and everyone that was still there, we were all just waited for Balls to come back.

 

Things became even worse. Even more people left the server, less than 100 active players stayed, economy has completely collapsed and you cannot find items any more in the market (weapons, armor, jewels,  other) but once again, everybody that asks for updates/fixes or questions what is going on gets burned.

 

The latest example here is my account (victor1gr) where after 3 years of playing there, after real donations i made to support the server, after beeing offered to promote the server for free and try bring more people in, I was permantly banned from the forum and game just for stating the obvious after my posts on this thread -> http://www.l2equanimity.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4213 .

there is one more post of mine on this thread that was deleted. I suspect this was the reason of the ban. luckily i have a backup (just as i'm keeping a backup of the whole thread in case Balls decide to delete this as well). See for youself, decide for yourself if this justifies a permanent ban. This is not to cry for the ban but mostly to warn people about Balls before someone decides to invest his time there. I consider my account lost for ever but i may save some time for someone else.

Well, you read the forums regularly so this shouldn't be news for you :) People have repeatedly reported all the problems of the economy but noone listens. And although things get ugglier every month, again noone listens. Have you even bother set up a script to monitor average market prices on certain items? If you have, this should be obvious. If you haven't, you can trust what the players report or check manually once a month. Economy and the fact that you cannot even find many of the items you need in the market is only a part of the problem. The other part is that not only there are no real updates but there is no roadmap as well. No plan at all. Not even an abstract one. This is the worse part. People don't mind waiting but giving them nothing to hope for is like forcing them politely to quit.  

I understand you see things differently but if you're so sure that you're right, why not put up a poll for the players to vote on what they think about the server and the way this server is managed during the last 2 years? And let's see how many players are left here to even vote on such poll.

And please scroll up. I made some suggestions on how players can help you save some time in managing/updating the server. I didn't see you commenting on these but instead, you choosed to pick up 1 random phraze that was only part of my thoughts. I see alot of constructive feedback in this thread. I hope you have something constructive to add as well.

thanks for listening.

 

 

After this post been deleted and me getting banned,  I sent at least 4 emails to Admin (Balls) asking him to let me know if banning me was intentional and the reason behind this. In contrast to times where i was making real money donations for the server (in which case i was getting an answer on the same day) this time i didn't even get an answer on none of my emails. My emails were super polite (i paste them all below and i will provide screenshots in case Balls dares to question those) so again, there is no reason to not even get  an answer. Nobody deserves this kind of behaviour.

My account may be lost but i want to make sure that people understand what kind of person this guy really is. Litteraly, he has zero respect for his players. You are warned.

below all the emails i sent him after the ban:

email 1 - 16/2/2018:

hello. i just got a message that i’m banned from the forum? did this happen by accident or on purpose? if it is the second can you please let me know of the reason behind it when you find some time?

thanks for your time

 

email 2 - 16/2/2018:
I just noticed that my game accounts are banned too. Can you let me know what is going on when you see this?
thanks in advance.

email 3 - 19/2/2018:
hello?

email 4 - 24/2/2018:
are you reading this?

For the record, there was only a lack of updates as of 1 year ago after my son was born (pretty good excuse btw), anyone can look at our update history to dismiss your false claims

 

Your ban was because you were spreading false information about the server, and saying i don't care about it, which i actually do. I spend time on the server every day to take care of customer service. So basically you are a cancer and see things in an alternate reality of what it really is and your arrogant non thought out posts are increadibly negative and are driving off new players by creating a false visage about the reality of things.

 

People like you who are distorting reality = time wasters for me, as you know, i don't have a lot of time. So it saves time to get rid of you, rather to try to negotiate with you any longer then i already have.

I'm quoting this just in case you edit your post later. People can read and judge for themselves who is arrogant here and what each one of us presents. No other comments from my side. Good luck with your server and your life in general. Believe it or not, I mean it.
