[Chronicle update]

Hi guys! My friends and I don't play on this server because it was created too long ago and it's really not attractive to start playing in a server that launched years ago...Your community is amazing and I perceive a sense of fear in losing what you have by opening a fresh server. I beg to differ  There are many of us who think the same. This server has a good reputation, and I think low population is also caused by...server is too old already, no matter how stable, it's not attractive.  There is no decent L2 server around, except this one. I am waiting impatiently for a new opening, from someone I can trust, and this server has built that trust.

I can see many players who are playing in this "old" server, wanting a fresh start. Maybe because they've also joined late, or maybe because they had a break and feel they were left behind. Also, simply because there are not enough players to make it fun...Boxing? That must feel very lonely.

 

 If you update chronicle without a wipe, population will likely stay the same or decrease. 200 people doesn't sound fun at all. I actually don't like a server with more than 500-600 active. But 200 makes me feel isolated and there is no dynamic.  400 is a sweet spot. It's so nice when you feel the server is alive, connected with the world, rather than just feeling you are on an island populated by old players...

I personally don't even care what chronicle you decide to implement for this new server. It can be anything from Gracia onwards.

But I also understand your policy. You don't want to close the server, because you promised no wipes.  It makes sense. Now, you either bite the bullet and start a new server with wipe, or create a new server and no wipe, running 2 servers. That can be tricky ... But I'm 100% players from the old server will join the new. Who doesn't like an alternative reality? A new possibility. New luck. Once that happens , the old server will then die peacefully. And only a handful of people will complain. People complain now, so no difference, except, there will be more happy people.  Now there is resistance. Fear of losing what players gathered. All those hours of farm....

But!!!  There is NO ALTERNATIVE. And, just like in real life, letting go can set you free! People need change to grow. More challenges. Fresh starts. 

Is L2 all about how much you gathered? Is L2 about how much you farm? Well kind of...  But, it's also about FUN and a sense of community. Your community is great, just a bit old and small numbered. Some players love that... But hey, I'm sure there are many of us who are waiting to join your community once you are ready to let go and have a fresh start with us. You proved you can be a stable community. It makes sense to grow a little. Just a little. Too much will ruin everything. I remember L2 Cerberus community was around 400-800 players.   Mostly under 500. It was sooooo great.

 

We encourage you to open a new server and enjoy a greater influx of players. Not too many, but enough to make server more challenging and dynamic. Some will go...but they always will....And there are so many of us waiting for a decent server to re-open....

 

I will personally help with advertisement. I will bring back nostalgia
