    Can i anyhow block those fcking Santa and rudolphs spam at general chat? /block works only to players and I dont want to disable whole general chat to avoid this...

    You can remove this possibly by modifying the systemmsg-e.dat file.

  2. Mmm if your laptop is strong enough... perhaps try this.

    • Create a virtual machine on your work computer. To get in installed you may need to justify its "Work" related :P 
    • Install Lineage
    • Connect to the a virtual NIC and hotspot it to your phone.

    In theory the connection data will be using your phone data and the VM will bypass AV and or Firewall that your company has.

    Only draw back is you using your phone data not sure how much it costs in your country. In most part of EU i believe you get a decent data plan so might be worth looking into. Alternativly if your company has Guest wifi you can try that but that will normally be also locked down by the firewall etc.

    Not immediately - let's say a month before opening another new server. For example if we open "Shrine 2" this year, we would merge it into "Shrine 1" a month before opening "Shrine 3" next year or so - so nobody would lose anything after year of playing, players would just decide whether to continue on merged server (which would increase the old server population - this would be mainly for casual players) or to start on a brand new server in a month (mainly for competitive players).

    Funny, I thought of the exact same idea and was wondering why no other server has done this. Biggest problem of low rate L2 players is after 6-9 months when people have everything it gets boring and or people leave etc. To keep the excitement alive create a new server every year and keep merging to the old one. People still get the "new server" experience rushing to get gears and epics pvp etc. With your skills I'm sure you can make it work :)

    The answer to that is simple: NO DONATIONS

    No donations means less big-ego scumbags who buy their way to the top like on all the other servers you've joined (yes yes, you know what I'm talking about).

    Not sure what servers you have played but no good low rate server would have game affecting donations. Donations for items generally happen from mid rate on wards as well as RTM scum.

    There is no issues with having donations for hats, gender change, name change, name color, title color etc (basically things that doesn't affect the game)

    The biggest turn off is the unlimited box's. This is one of the best GF low rate around hands down, agreed on that point.

  5. I get a feeling this could have been avoided if you had a template of what you want in the bug report. Assuming players will give you the information right of the bat is....well silly :) Looking at the way your current bug section works is there is a lot of back and forth and wastes a lot of your time I think.

    Create a template of what information you need and sticky it to the Bug section. If the information is not provided as per the template nothing you can do. At the moment you get players getting angry because to them they have reported a issue and its not fixed. They provide you with "some" information but not "all" the information you need to fix the issue.

    Just an idea from a ex player.

  6. Since you are level 35 you are a cleric :P start doing the class change quest you can get xp and some money from this once you get all the marks you can change class at level 40 to become bishop :) I mained bishop in my previous server and its a fun class to play. Later when you can enter pagans and 1 shot undead monsters the money and drops is nice (drops = full item drops such as armor, weapon, jewelry). 

    The bad part about playing a bishop is your the main target for every enemy. Enemies always target healers first because you can not only revive a single person you can mass revive the whole party if you are the last one standing. I won't go to much in detail because that is the fun part you can figure out yourself :) 

    Your bishop with shots and kookabara can level solo nicely where ever there is undead try to stay away from aggressive monsters till you get used to how to play the class (trance will be your best friend).

    Your scavenger on the other hand will have it rough. The reason being you need buffs in order to kill efficiently. You can get buffs from clan hall if you are part of a clan or make a buff box. Bishops do get some starting buff when you are a cleric but its not enough for later on. The newbie buffs from the adventure I think stops at level 62-63. I would suggest for you to make a warcryer buffer for your scavenger as it has all the buffers you will need. If you play alot which looks like you do 8+ hours a day I would also make a Blade Dancer and a Sword Singer. The dances will give you extra damage for killing more efficiently. Later on also get a blunt weapon with focus as a special ability to increase the damage out put.

    Scavengers normally get side tracked because you can either level or make money. If you want to play bishop main then focus on getting money from the scavenger. High end materials and recipes for crafting sell for good money which you can use to gear your bishop. Alternatively you can also get the materials and craft all your gear at the dwarf craters in giran. Crafting does have its merits as well in saying that as you can get a foundation gear. Foundation gear have high stats then if the gear was normal. But the chance I believe is low. Remember that the success rate for crafts isn't 100% there was times I broke my keyboard failing crafts.....so think wisely all the materials you get is it worth to sell and buy a full item or roll the dice to craft it.

    Good Luck and Have Fun! :) 

  7. Yeah I also do not like this. Many servers limit 2 box per HWID. Yes if they have more box's they can log it.

    You need active in game GM's to police this. That teleport from player to player with more then 2 box per IP checking if the box playing or just sitting in-active aka buff bot. But yeah it won't happen here.

    Example killing raids is meant to be done with other people but here 1 person can log everything they need a kill it. Personally I think this server would pull more players if there was rules around this but meh.

  8. Could also be textures. Did you install a fresh install of Lineage 2 or are you using the same files from a previous server you have played on? I would suggest a fresh install and also update your graphics driver.

  9. But wasn't it the same for the Pirate event? There was a chance for the chest to spawn so it didn't matter what keys you got? Here its difference would be the drop you get from the chest would be lowered?

    Also 1 hour to get 1 sack which can drop S grade armor / crystals / S grade scrolls? That's seems a bit over the top for S grade doesn't it? At least 24 hours makes sense....but yeah okay.

    st of the players are from Europe (you can see it here) so the time is chosen mainly for Europe. We know there are few players from US or Australia/Oceania but we can't limit it other way than this (you can create 80 accounts so the time limit for box spawning is the only way).

    Why can't we decrease the box spawn rate or bag drop rates and have the event run all the time? We advertise the server as international and then have events which favors majority of the players timezone? That is just sad as the event isn't fair :( We should have more events like the Pirate Captain that was excellent and everyone could participate regardless of the timezone. Another thing is that these events are another way to make money by making it only 1 hour a day you excluding everyone that can't be there.....

  11. You can still see some TM members in shrine. Not everyone has left, hopefully they come back or current members rebuilt to create sides. Saw some of them during TW trying to make nobles which is a good sign.

  12. In my previous server they had the model which I described above. And this will come as a surprise to you but a lot of banned people actually still wanted to play there. Happy to send you a PM with the URL of that server / forum if you want to see it.

    The model was players admitted that they did bot and asked if they can be allowed to play. There was a ban appeal section in the forums where they can post. They won't get there items or botting accounts back but they get to create another account and start again. 

    Waiting for GM's to answer / clarification.
