  2. there are plenty of reasons someone would do that.... 1st would be the 'hobby thing' , 2nd would be that they wont expect to make money by a small server(compared to others) , 3rd they might want to make a 'name' for themselves for future projectts , they may want to test their developer abilities....... they may have true love for the game (there are many players who seek something like this exacly , who like the old days but dont have the knowledge bugdet to do it..). u can imagine plenty of reason , dont ask them a question like that , it is kinda indiscreet

    
     
  3. απλα ανοιγω ενα topic για ελληνες 'ξεμπαρκους' σκοπευουν να παιξουν , να δουμε ποσοι ειμαστε κτλ... δεν εχω σκοπο ουτε clan oute cp create προς το παρον , απλα παρουσιες να παρουμε που λεει ο λογος...

  4. i m not 100% sure about this but i think raid boss curse works wrong . 

    i am 84 lvl , hitting a raid boss 76 lvl ( minions 75lvl) . i was hitting ONLY the raid boss and i got the paralyze curse.  i think that if u avoid hitting the minions u shouldnt get the curse (probably got it from 9 lvl difference with the minions) . i say that because in many servers i played , when i was the titan many times i skipped minions because i was high lvl , hitting only the boss  and the rest of the party was clearing the minions so that the s/d would get the silence curse because they were high too. again i m not 100% sure. 

  5. thnx for the answers. about element stones x2.5 drop on x4 xp is a little too harsh but it gives server for lifetime + makes it hard , i guess that's what most people want when we ll  play on a x4 no donate , the thing is to be generally balanced  the aoe with the xp with the adena , with the materials from xp/manor/stacato nest quests etc / stones . not to be infinite having materials  and having the S recipes varka quests x1 + 40% q item drop rate ... i m giving examples i dont talk about our server specifically. it is unbalanced to need 10 hours of farm for an end game set recipes + items , and need much more time for the S recipes. 

    sry for my english , also admin cover mid , just generally talking....

  6. if u have a full party when u get the S and go to xp in not rush hours ucan freely xp for like 6-10 hours /day. also if a side snowballs the game and has S while others dont , with these tombs rate they ll be able to get full set in 1-2 weeks . i used sneaky not rush hours xp , 3-9 at russian server which had 2k + counter and i was alone, ( midgame .... after 1-2 sides had already dynasty) the general idea is that the first side who ll be already snowballing will 100% rule the server if he they have hb 1-2 weeks on their own . ofc until we reach the point of xping in green we ll need at least 2weeks-1month , depends on the players , but still.... a full aoe party can reach this part too fast , specially if u only need to gear up 1 titan only...

  7. user.ini : i m not expert in these things but some servers have their own systemdat , user.ini and other files in order to avoid things like wallhack. we need to be able to change some things like chat colours etc but not get benefir like wallhack , if u can do something to avoid it like if a player changes the user ini he cant log in , he must run updater to log in.

  8. MANOR: what will be the manor harvesting rates + rewards rates ? i would suggest leaving these two x1 as they normally are because economy will be fucked up the 2nd-3rd week after castles are owned ,if u d like to change something it should be the harvesting reward to x2 so that people farm easier , but definetely not the mats reward.

    AUTOLOOT: sry to ask again about this but i think it should be auto , for ranged classes it is a pain in the ass , for aoe classes it is a pain in the ass..... the only ones that dont have problem is single targets warrior classes in 2-3 peoples party...... u have unlimited boxes so MANY people will solo xp and wont have 'a pickup machine partner'. also the pickup on gracia final is extremely slow and at some occasions can ruin some xp spots if u need 1 minute to pick up items from 30-40 mobs(example fog).

    GEODATA: do u make changes to the corrupted geodata of retail gf chronicle ? ( u know some spots where your char stacks , i have 1-2 in mind)

    BANS: about bot banning policy i strongly suggest the ban to be perma for botters. delete accounts /ban ip/ etc so that players will think again before the try it. there are some people that bot in 100% of the servers they play , but there are always some that are afraid / are thinking about it. make them think again.

    DYNASTY QUESTS: the rates are extremely high. i tried aoe there and at 40minutes (8-9 trains) i had 1000 tomes ..... by calculations i think that for 1 set u need like 4-5 hours of xp....... it is extremely easy ( ok i know i had end game gear , no deaths , it was super easy , but still) if someone can have a good party he can xp there pretty early on the 2nd-3rd week i think..... if he can make 1 set in 1 day of xp it will cut the lifetime of the server , it is supposed to be low rate with x2.5 drop/spoil.......  and also with x2.5 drop rate it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT  to get elemental stones. if it is hard in hb where the rates are good ... imagine in IOP......... i dont want to think about it , atm it seems unstable to me , easy way to make armors/weapons , extremely hard to enchant them.

    HB request: unlock last stage of hb plz , need to test the chimairas area , the tullys towers etc. ( am i doing something wrong ? there is a wall of mobs at chimairas and i cant go in there)

    ELEMENTS: what will be the rates of stones + crystals success rate ? i know that it is all about luck and sometimes u can have 10 fails or 10 success at onces , but specially in crystals while i was enchanting , i had 2-3 times 11 , and 13-14 fails in a row... is this normal ? 

     

     

     

  9. even the strongest antibot can be bypassed ..... it is all about the willingness of the people to hunt down bots. maybe put a reward like a % of bots adena/items for report botting. it is fun to be bot hunter , to go at the single last cata room or areas forgotten by god :D

  10. some thoughts about the mono/duo/unlimited box .  it is depended by 3 factors , 1st population of the server  , 2nd general project's idea , 3rd : the community's greed

    even if we have monobox or duo box if the community helps and the gm's are very active we can 'ban most of the people who dual box or more'.

    this is a chronicle where 1 single person if he has infinite boxes can solo xp and reach end game in 1 month, solo do every single raid in game , and need 3 people active to do the epics in end game conditions. seen that done that , there is no argue about it . anyway i ll analyze options:

    MONOBOX: best option if u want the project to last longer because duobox will be easily detected and banned. needs 500 + population to be effective ... if the sever has 200 people it will be difficult even to find xp parties . also monobox will destroy the 'cp style of game' only a few people will have the option to be active for 4-5 hours/day all together , and if 1-2 miss they wont be able to xp. support classes will be APPECIATED. game will be more like 2004 style . but u need good population and dedicated community for it. ( many people wont play because the idea is too hardcore ) and if the server is low on numbers it will be a fail.   (people will generally play oldstyle clan based)

    DUOBOX/3BOX: this is ideal if the server has low population but there will be many players to abuse it with 2nd pc / generating windows programs ( and it wont be able to spot them ) . the good but also unfair thing will be that only a few will benefit with 2nd pcs or high tech pcs. (people will play semi cp style  in parties of 3-5 persons)

    UNLIMITED BOX: worst option in my way ( only necessary if server has something like 100 people) . every single person that knows this game good and has a mediocre will be solo in most of the time with his  titan-bd-sws-wc-pp-kamael-main-etc. server will reach endgame too soon , greedy people will cancer up each other for aoe xp spots and fun will be lost . ( people will be just solo farmers and group only for epics)

    i wont say anything about botting etc.... i hope every single player helps to fight against it with photo/video proofs and hope gms are active. 


    my personal hope is that server will have numbers and be monobox (something very hard to be done). what made me wanna play here was the 'no donate thing' . i had the option to start at eglobal russian server 10 days ago but i chose to give this server a chance because every single russian unlimited box server is about money for owners + 3-4 russian cps who rush everything and sell items for real life money. seen that many times : 1 month server fun , 2nd month the big clans leave server , 3rd month server dies. i want to start here to avoid these russian style of game. a server to learn from is maybe l2globalnet. started interlude monobox ( donate only for hats /renames/50% xp) lasted 3very fun months with 1000 people active ( extreme for monobox) 4th month got low on numbers 300-500 and now they are going to update him to gf too at octomber too . but the bad thing about it and monobox in general is that it wont atract new players on later stages. because noone cant exp or even duo with a friend when all people are 80 and u are lvl 1. u may have gear but u cant even have a buffer for your xp... and if all are 80 u cant xp.....

    sorry about the long post ,mixed ideas, and maybe advertise , i just wanted to give examples , not advertise or something. 

    dunno if a vote will help  in this topic because usually in 1000 population servers only max 100 people are forum users....... it wont be exacly democratic. admins should just think about this , think about their expected population and make a choise.

    PS: LF greek/international cp/clan :D. i ll be duo with a friend

    PS 2: most aoe areas seem fine , mobs interact as intended , can u open unlock the hellbound to full lvl so we check chimairas- tully's etc ?
