Low Population..some thoughts

First, I have all the buffer classes, leveled up to 82 or more, with noblesse as well.  I would gladly accept an active support class in my party, when i level. Even though I have full buffs at my disposal, that class would have his honor of using his skills for buffs. I'd give those that he/she doesnt have, untill he/she does.

I used to play SWS before, It was hard, but i could always get a party. I used to play WC, OL, Eva's saint, Mystic Muse and Heirophant as MAIN as well. (10+ years of l2 experience, from back then, when there were no blessed spiritshots, u had to fill your inventory with maps, in order to decrease the chances of equipment drop, by dropping maps instead, Map was an item, not built in feature, Top sets were karmian and avadon, later doom / bw, Best lving ground was Dragon valley cave, aka Antharas Lair, Kariks looked different, Mages could kick tanks ass so hard they ran instead of attacking, etc etc..) I can say all those classes have their kinks and strenghths, but out here, its a Tank server, and i'll lay my cards on the table.

Roran Should have stayed banned. He has been banned for several times, yet a poisonous player like him, somehow found his way back, I wonder, How and why? Im tired of that urine head. He thinks he is head part better than anyone. (I do not mean this in general as a nationality, but it aint the first greek i have seen this messed up). So full of shit, you are pal. And your skill as tank has shown, that you are not as good as you think. Your only advantage here is your oe equip and class itself. I cant do anything vs tanks, its a natural counter measure. AND knowing this, You do not have ANY rights at all to start being a dick and decide, who gets hero, and who doesnt, by feeding a box just to get someone off his/her hero. Im not being a dick and feeding any of my chars just to take off a hero from an active player, who chose to play that certain character as main. I have nearly ALL classes with nobles, I could easily start doing it, but im being mature and choosing not to. This I am expecting of others too. I used to do oly fairly, joined the oly fights along with others. Then came the threats and shitlike attitude from Roran, and now then, it seems my friendly neighbouring country (or so i thought) representative Martynas, aka Reload, has took over rorans ill attitude and mentality. IF my arguments are seen as crying in your eyes, i suggest you visit a doctor, because you cant tell a difference between arguments and whining. That alone is a first sign of an idiot.
All I ever wanted was FAIR play and FAIR game, equal chances for everyone, If there are no equal chances, then we cant say this server is balanced. I wont say again, that NC soft messed up by removing my lethal shot skill being a lethal in this chronicle. Im not only helping my own clan members, but even clanless ppl. I cant help all and everyone, but if a guy seems to be nice, patient, modest, honest, and at least mature in his talk, I will help him. If he proves himself / herself, i will help him more.
They say, ppl are tired of me arguing, "qqing", etc. I have yet to QQ for first time in this server. So far, it is and allways have been a healthy argue in my eyes. Just look at every TW and before it. Im not the one arguing there most of times. If i do, it has a reason, and mostly in an effort to make them stop.

I do not know you Seraphicas, but you seem to be far better than those two tank bastards that proclaim themselves with military ranks on their titles, of which they are not even worthy (I am serving in army, and I have earned my rank, but i do not brag about it.). If there is a way I can help you, make sure to pm me. I can probably even buff you, if im available.

I do not hold anger for any person, i know how to forgive. And i certainly do not go making my personal vendettas over some game, or any action that has been said / done here. I have always been friendly player. However, I believe in justice, and in this case, if a box takes my hero, I will take it up to the GM, to serve justice. Last time. Take box heroes from unclaimed heros. Leave active ones alone. I'd agree for feed, for those box heros, who would get better feed that would win. I understand this is not relevant to this topic, but it is a huge problem in this server, therefore, it fits here. As the last oly argue was going on, Sterling said, that if a Box gets hero over an active player, such case would be looked into, and solved. I have my rights as a player, to receive fair gameplay, and being threatened and influenced by two kids who would do such low acts, just because they want to. If they prevail, then its anarchy and truly, a sign, that nobody here cares about sunch insolent acts.
hose who are going to say they got their hero taken by a box before.. It is not my fault you did not raise any issue with it. This time im using my rights and doing it. Also, I humbly ask to ban roran for good, because his poisonous behaviour has sent quite a few players away from server, by discrediting, scolding and flaming them PUBLICALLY, in global chat. Most of them were nice lads, I even tried to convince few of them to stay and give this server a chance, to which they replied mostly the same : "Sorry man, it seems some players do not want me/us here..". IT saddens me greatly every time, a player leaves server. About TrapRocks and its members. Most of the players are nice and I like them. It is sad that they left the server, but I guess, with rorans brainwashing, most of ppl just give up.  

I believe with that done, and poison removed, we can start working up a plan on how to reintroduce players back here. Perhaps, a login rewards would be a nice thought. In example, there is a game called WARFRAME. Each day, when you log in, you roll a simple game of chance, receiving some bonuses, xp boosts, ingame currency credit reward, etc. The system is divided in 3 tiers. The 1-3 day rewards ofc, are silly. 4-6 ay rewards packs more goodies, and 7+ days in a row, can get you the best stuff. BUT, we want players to stay for longer, than just logging in, receiving gift, and logging out, right? So lets time that reward. There was an l2 event, where you had to wait, to receive the reward, or open the box after X minutes have passed ingame. I know this is not retail stuff, but the rewards could include enchants, life stones (!), element stones, crystals, Ancient adena, adena, accessories, etc. Which could give players some better start, lower the market prices ( which are terrible now!) Balance the playing field. Rules about olympiad need to be made clear and strict. I have a capability to roll my own class based oly. I stopped that, after a a GM asked me to. I respected it. Now im playing in open oly for everyone to be able to fight me. I cant win in oly, vs most classes. Regardless of my equip. I wont go into that, again. But I see no strategic gains by taking my hero. I'd understand if i was a huge threat, like a tank class, which gets that 1 ud more and edge in battle. 

Alright, enough of making my points and arguments. Lets see how this rolls further.
 

Ingis hasnt been on forums for over a week- The other Gm hasnt been on the forums for over a week-Sterling who has a messed up comp is the only one logging in and responding to things and trying to handle things as always. Speaking from past experence this is the norm.
At this point people have one of two options.
1. Stay here and constantly complain about the sever and how its run and how disfunctional it has become.( and know nothing will ever change)
2. Move on and find another server because its obvious its not that important to the admin to even show up for a few mins now and then.
Ive been here a long time and have left and come back  and left and come back with the hope that things get fixed and the admin shows some interest in his own server but it has remained the same which is diapointing because the server its self is great.
Its has been and continues to be a autopiolit server.
So the big question is do you stay and be constantly disapointed or move on and find something that you can live with.
                                                  Have a nice day

If I had not invested so much of my valuable time, and family's time in this server, on making those buffers, getting them leveled up, ++ed skills, noblesses, working on all the equipment both for me and my sister, it would be easy for me to just leave. But, since i do not want to start over all that again and spend so much time making buffers etc, I really have only choice between staying or quitting for good. The latter, seems approaching sooner rather than later, and then the bastards can stick what they get after im done, in their shallow brown holes at the bottom of their trunks , if their attitude remains the same. I quit L2 for good, but after a year had passed, my friend invited me here. The server was really nice at start, people were friendly, helpful and kind. So when im done here, I quit l2 for good, 90% chance of that.

I leveled my dwarf, orc, elven elder to 81 by myself (how? just killing mobs one by one, literally) and two supports that I just left 78 because I am too lazy to build them up (and because I am currently building my mains: Eva's Saint and Doomcryer). As it goes, buff it is not the problem...I guess...

Anyway, I think I got a little bit off topic...

Here's the list what i have and leveled to appropriate levels..
spectral dancer, sword muse,, dominator, doomcryer, heirophant,  Arcana lord, elemental summoner, Shillen Saint, Evas saint, Dreadnought, Maestro, , dwarf spoiler, titan with 3 subs, ms main with 3 subs, ST with 3 subs, Phoenix knight with 3 subs, 5 MS's for oly, soultaker, soulhound, trickster, saggittarius, even soul shot shop lvled to 80, i think i named them all. Oh and ofc tonns of different level farm chars for rb's, epics etc etc.. Kinda losing a lot :) Certain more classes and characters are available to me due to some friends leaving and giving their accounts at my disposal for various farming errands..

Well mainly there is no mage/phys dd classes for the simple reason of lack of mana. Gladi/db/daggers and all the casters need tons of mp to feel good during the pvp. On the other hand tanks are not at a dire need of mana at all. As the result, assuming relatively little ammount of players online(no rechargers etc), this is now a server with some tank benefits :)
The amount of tanks makes it hard for archers to handle(who also do not rely on mp during full buff pvp). So, obviously, it is a chain reaction. You either have a good online, low rates and standart buff or you have not-as-good-online-as-we-all-want-to with buffs, mana pots and hookers.

As for wipe. Tempting it may be, but I've seen loads of servers shuting down after the wipe. New players will consider the server unreliable and merely will not join, simple as that. What could help though is creating a new server, say frey-gf-hf x50 with craft, within the vanir project(with proper advertising etc) leaving this one(x10) be as it is.
But then again, we would need ignis back alive and active.

P.S. pardon mi ingles.

Finally ŠWutang got mad congratz, about military rank I could fill ur head full of my urine if you beg so much. But its all again from ur QQ mode u try to be angry now, but damn who cares?.. Roran on ban?.. Most of server players should be banned by now, but thei'r not. So please don't feel urself in the centre there are problems which are more important and must be solved.

da idea of x50 server would bring moar ppl, tho. They would want to check out low rate as well..That might just work, besides speculation here, we'd need a gm input..

Oh martyn, you know up until now, i didnt want to believe what ppl said about LT ppl. Now i see what they are, you show your true colors. Ive been kind long enough. You mention problems, that need to be solved, yet you hardly mention anything. Right now the only problem i see is your ****-like attitude and prickly behaviour.
