You are slow growing until an another server starts and get your population..

Not really mate. This server seems more stable than many others I have seen. Active and friendly community, active GMs, no donation, increasing population, server is number 8 in Hopzone! I will not be changing servers unless this one shuts down or something. 

My 2 cents.

Hello,

started playing yesterday, decided to roll a spoiler main. While grinding enough animal skin for the second class transfer a few questions came to mind:

More of a curiosity than anything else: in most servers I've played people pay newbies for academy crp. Here, best offer I got was 500k. Probably will be fine with gold once I get to some high level and start selling mats, but do people really not need crp or...?

I know I decided to play a spoiler on a server running a patch before they get all the cool dagger tricks (and alas, sweeper festival) and basically became really short THs, so my question is: will I be able to find a clan to play with after the 2nd class change, or are they considered just "crafting bots" so have fun leveling solo, see you when you get a subclass eventually?

Speaking of which, will have any chance of getting parties while leveling as a spoiler, or should I get my own set of petbuffs and play single player minus the random pk every now and then for 36+36 levels until I get a 3classed sub?

 

 

(edit: typos here and there, l2proofread)

Hi and welcome from me as well.

Yes MoragTong offers 3kk to each newbie. I do not believe you will have any problem finding people - there are plenty and some areas are contested. 

I strongly recommend making a buffer box, as getting buffed properly will really make your leveling experience quite faster. If you find a couple of mates (and trust me, there are) you might end up getting full buffs.

Have fun and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hi and welcome from me as well. I am a new player and I started 1 week ago. Server is cool and stable, unlike other servers that close after 1 week (like Redmoon) or after 1 month (Like many others). 

Dude if u are looking for a reason to stay, the reason should be cause you love L2. If u are sick of playing kid servers, u r welcome here. Otherwise, see u around.

Server numbers are from 500-800 individual IPs (around 1000-1200 with boxes as official numbers show) which is promising. DO NOT expect an easy server. This is hardcore l2.

Apolpges in advance for any mistakes, I am drunk. Cheers

Imho server is far from dead

I am proud that i can say that we have stable player base. Currently there's one clan that is quite ahead (Hi @huehuehue92 and @Gogita ), and imho that is the reason why nobody even tries to siege wards in their castle.

When we launched the server, there were two big servers starting Gracia Final as well. First one l2e-global - their GF server is dead for a long time, so they launched IL, but that is coming to it's end too. Now they plan to launch another server - H5. So in six months, this will be their 3rd server launch. Another example is RPG, they also started with GF, but after a month or two it was dead because they launched H5, then they merged both servers into one.

What we aim for is stable and long running server for all the players that are tired of switching server every two or three months, and we are always glad to see new faces on our server. What we want is to make sure that players are going to play through the GF content and then we will start adding new content in small updates until we reach full Gracia Epilogue. After that (if there will still be demand) we will add Freya content, again in small updates.

Thank you, voice of reason.

Hey guys, I thought about starting here too. I was on a lowrate H5 few days ago and the server was really good but the GM doesn't know how to promote it well, so the playernumbers dropped really hard. So I'm looking for a home with future. Everything I read sounds nice but I got some questions, too:

1) Is TzaR's post true? For me it's basically okay if sieges are not toooo populated but the overall playerbase is like 500 unique in 3 days? Can I believe that because that sounds amazing.

2) Atm the server is in Gracia Final mode. I've read that you want to update till Freya. Can I expect that this really will happen? Do you think about updating till H5 too?

 

Thx for the answers guys. Looking forward to it

Hello and welcome from me as well.

I am a new player here, having joined after changing server every month because of rookie GM's, OP donations (for example vorpal armor after 5 days of start), and servers generally shutting down after 1 month because GMs just wanted to grab fast money. Speaking for myself, I am tired of lvling up over and over and over again, doing this damn Noblesse quest over and over, and doing subs again. So, I decided I need something more permanent and this is why I joined here. (Also, this server is top10 on Hopzone and thats how I found it.)

As far as statistics are mentioned, yes the server does have approximately 800ppl. Also, I would like to underline that the server mentality is very different from other servers. It seems people here are more grown ups, rather than the kids who flame and talk sh!t all the time - a pleasant change for me. 

Regarding pvp, it is my belief that quality > quantity. I have been in Baium battles where 1 ORGANIZED party can wipe out entire clans (assuming they are slightly better gear-wise). If clans decide to cooperate and fight against one particular clan, I think good cooperation will play a significant factor in determining the final outcome of the battle.

On a side note, the GMs appear to be very friendly and caring for the server - a fact that made my decision to play here easier.

If any other questions, feel free to ask.

Well there is nothing like offline buffing. I think you mean have login details for a buffer account? I guess most of us have our own buffers plus I guess we don't want to share our accounts. Remember that the adventure buff will buff you to level 64 i think after that you don't get buffs. So its easier to make one at the start. Unless your clan will have party 24/7 and you won't solo (unlikely scenario). The server doesn't have thousands and thousands of players where you can just make one class and find party for buffers. If you want to play with buffs make a buffer  

Nowadays there are offline-like buffers who sell buffs for adena. So basically you "talk" to an offline player who sells u buffs for adena. I am pretty sure you have seen this in mid rate servers.

Yes, I am aware of the adventure buffs because I used to play on official too for a while during GoD. But L2 became reaaaally different there. Ok so it seems there is no way around making buffers. Btw, thank you so much for your replies. They are really appreciated!

Depends on clans and there rules. For my clan (invictus) we don't have this. You could just play a buffer class main?  

How come you do not have this? Oh mate the only reason I am playing L2 is the Kamael Doombringer. Fell in love 10 years back and been in love ever since. Hard to believe, but true.

I told my mate about this server, he is more used to low rates than I am cause he was playing on official for years. He told me we would need boxes and this is what I am trying to avoid lololol.

 

Oh you edited your msg.

By chicken you mean Kamael?????

Hi welcome to the server

1. Yes you need to make the box's yourself. Its unlimited box's so you can make all the buffers if you wish. 
2. Yes buffs last 20 minutes. Songs and Dance is 2 minutes.
3. If you get it into a existing clan, yes. Catching up item wise will take time as you are 6 months behind but not impossible.

Can't answer the number 4 fully as I can't make sieges due to timezone difference. Last time we did QA raid another clan came and we did have some pvp.

Thank you for your fast reply.

I hate lvling other characters. To put it simply, I am a "one-trick Pony" so I would ideally prefer to avoid exping buffers. Do clans have offline buffers who buff for like 1 adena or something?

Hi,

1. daily around 800 chars online, according to our statistics it's some 500 different people over 3 days

2. server started almost half a year ago (october 1st) and we plan to run it for years

3. some players communicate in english, some players communicate in czech (we have strong CZ/SK community)

4. someone else should answer this one

Hello everyone and thank you for the reply to the other newbie.

My mate and I are also looking for a new server. L2RedMoon is going downhill and we are tired of switching servers every 1 month and all the hard work we put into the game not being rewarded. So we are looking for something...stable. I will be playing Doombringer (I usually switch to Judicator for RBs depending on clan preferences) and my mate probably tank (dunno if he prefers FI over SOS).

My questions are:

1) Given there are no autobuffs, do we have to make buffers ourselves? 

2) Buffs last 20 mins?

3) Will we able to be competitive against players who were here from the start?

4) How are the sieges and RBs? Is the pvp there competitive?

Thank you for your responses and hopefully we will see you in game.
