While searching for Lineage 2 C1 on Google, I happened to come across the elmore site.
I played the Korean classic server that started service in 2014.
Contrary to what many people know, the users of NCsoft's classic server that was serviced in Korea were quite satisfied
Except for two things. It allowed auto programs and unlimited p2w
cash item sales. Other than that, the users were satisfied with the rest.
The following is a list of updates and systems for the Korean classic server that I remember from 10 years ago.
The Lineage 2 classic server version that started in 2014 was based on C1,
but all other shortcomings and problems were fixed and updated and started.
1. The best hunting ground was Dragon Valley. LOA was not open.
Giran was the best town and Aden was not there. Naturally, the item grade was
C-grade, and the users were still satisfied and hunted.
The reason was as follows. Before the release, the NCsoft president said the following.
He said he would show true hardcore. And after the release, it was truly hardcore, as he said.
First of all, the item drop rate was much lower than the previous version.
Spoilers rarely dropped expensive materials.
Even quest rewards were modified.
Even the rewards for repeatable quests that made money were lowered or deleted.
Nevertheless, users were satisfied.
They discovered the true value of Aden.
Of course, as a side effect of this, users could not use spirit bullets.
The drop rate of spellbooks such as Haste Death Whisper was too low, so Profit who learned Haste Death Whisper was too popular.
When dealers hunted in a party, they consumed more Aden than they earned.
So healers and buffers even developed a principle of giving Haste potions, etc. to party dealers for free.
A unique point is that when users did not use spirit bullets to save money,
NC updated the number of spirit bullets used per weapon to lower the number of spirit bullets used,
and urged them to use spirit bullets. After that update,
especially the milliparties used spirit bullets quite a bit.
So the parties were divided into spirit bullet parties and parties that did not use spirit bullets.
However, users who knew it was hardcore and took on the challenge cheered.
Parties were active everywhere in the hunting grounds.
It is almost impossible to hunt alone without a party.
Multiple accounts were allowed,
but at that time, as of 2014, around 2,000 Russian rubles had to be paid as a monthly account fee,
so not many light users had multiple accounts.
Also, many users did not want people who operated multi-accounts in their parties.
The reason was that there were many pks and they also hated AFK.
Death always results in a 10% experience loss. Also, if you are killed by a monster, there is a high probability that you will drop the equipment you were wearing. That is why I couldn't help but really hate AFK users. PK users enjoyed using this to attack AFK users. Naturally, auto parties were a common prey for both regular people and PK users.
2.CP was available, and the target restrictions for dealers using lances, and the unlimited range magic of wizards were all modified and released.
Letter trading was also updated shortly after. In order to eliminate the discrimination between classes, we applied upgraded skills to the maximum for dealers who were relatively inferior to wizards, and balanced them with wizards. Therefore, wizards were never the best like in the original C1. Of course, wizards were still strong.
At that time, the first 40 levels were Tyrant.
Because it is a server operated by ncsoft, bugs are rare. If a bug occurs and it is not fixed, it can lead to a lawsuit.
Party hunting was active wherever you went, and unpopular classes had a hard time finding a party,
so you always hunted alone in a remote place. The epic boss was the queen ant Orpen Core.
Here, regular users and PK users were divided. all Regular users participate in the epic boss raid to catch the epic boss.
The income earned is auctioned and all the winnings are divided into n/1.
This is something that regular users really liked.
There were a lot of PK users, but I admit that it is also part of the game.
At that time, Russian users especially enjoyed PK.
There was no particular level restriction, but since the best hunting ground was Dragon Valley,
you had no choice but to reach the limit. But gave the unique monster a x234 multiplier.
And from what I remember, it was operated in that state for more than a year. Although the island of Crocodile was partially updated,
I remember that it took about 2 years for LOA to open after the first server started.
As I said before, the reason why users were disappointed and left was because they did not limit auto programs
(the reason is that auto users also pay a monthly account fee of 2,000 rubles)
And they gradually sold p2w cash items that they had promised not to sell at first, and after that,
they focused only on selling p2w gambling items.
Even now, many Koreans want NCsoft to service Lineage 2 Classic again, which was serviced in 2014.
Except for the auto program and p2w system.
If the operator here operates the server with these points in mind,
If you are a competent software engineer,
you can boldly fix and delete the shortcomings and problems,
and as long as it does not interfere with the server,
you can create a classic version server by combining the advantages of the upper version, such as balance and supplements,
and many users will be able to gather And I think it can be successful
