And that also would couse divide on player amount...
Server reset or new server?
Alternatinely, you can upgrade the existing server to GoD x10 and start a pvp x500 c6. The staf may for example rewipe the x500 pvp server every 40-60 days, but keep and continue to develop this.
I agree with sekai for new low rate server.
I don't think adding a low rate server will divide the current population, if we do the correct advertising before opening the new server, there will be a lot of people coming, that means that when they get bored of the low rate many of them will go on the actual server, so overall I think it will be good for both the new and the old server.
IMHO with the amount of ppl playing L2 atm, playing here and seeing how many servers there are, it would be a server suicide to open another one making even more competition for itself, splitting the number of players ....
I could only agree with Damien.. thats what I meant about population divide. And what the heck about support class discrimination?... Buff time decrease??? To every siege/tw people are dragging soulhounds so I dont think there are many players who can avoid their buffs from being stolen, I just need to stand 2 minutes in area and im running with one buff. Supports are always needed there to replace stollen buffs but theres not many people playing them. If you ask me why it's because everyone wanna be the badass killer. And for open ground farm??? support?? please.. I'll take all my bots and be doing the same 9 boxing. In terms of money having someone around leeching will not take me somewhere far.
I think that if we make a new low rate and harder server will be good for the old server.
Some people say that new players cannot reach old ones, I'm sure they can with effort. Also we make XP events and loot for new players mostly, I think old players also want new stronger players, but not stronger than them...
Those who say they can not reach the old players are just completly lazy. They should have played L2 upon release like I did. 1 year to get to 45. OMFG!!!! Not using soul shots cause they cost too much to level with. This new generation is so lazy.
If we happen to open a new and diferent server we will make sure that we will have a lot of players going to play it, and we will also be sure that the current server population will not decay.
But anyways there are so many things to take care of in the current server before making a new server. So I don't see it like coming any soon...
We just want to let you know that the current server WILL NOT wipe, never!
I guess the doubts about this matter have been resolved, thread closed.
