Just 2 things:
1)determined the files are best quality because those are ncsoft files. If u think who ever codes the files for asterios can do a better job then ncsoft then there is no reason for us to talk anymore
2)you think server hardware, bandwidth and electricity are free? There are compromises to be done everywhere and the ones that i have to do to play on rpg club are extremely little for the quality of the files i will play in and against some of the best clans that played and still play l2

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, i am just stating some facts and personal opinions. You're not obligated to like them, and i'm not even expecting you to do so. I'm sure i will have fun on rpg the same way as you will have your fun on asterios. So, no more talking, i wish u lots of fun there

Ruining the game is part of the game I see. Well, since you are not convincing me I will leave it to "the rest".

Logic, it's something God trusted you with. You think 60kk adena for 200$ ruins the game? Do you think that everyone that will play on rpg is bills (gates) son? Even if 10 people donate for that, it would make 600kk which in a month it would be just a tear drop in an ocean. I agree, it looks ugly. But if ur able to look past that and use some logic u will come to the conclusion that is very far from first impression. On top of that, u can weigh in the good things like ncsoft files and some of the best clans around and u start to see quite a nice mix of things.
But hey, it's just my stupid uneducated opinion. Now come and sh1t all over it with ur awsome perfect rational thinking.

Hmmm.........
I feel the need to tell a story.................

The FIRST server I ever played on was a 2x server, just getting new to the game and knowing less than nothing I enjoyed the hell out of it, the problem unfortunately was the server was dying.
I did not know when I started, but quickly learned, that they implemented a donation scheme in an attempt to make money, well fine I guess, as stated in other posts people need pay for tech and power and upgrades etc....
Anyways, as was stated in another post, donating for adena might not necessarily destroy the balance, however on this server it did because one of the female characters didn't have the "money" to donate.
She did discover that her body on the other hand was a powerful tool and started sleeping with at least 2 of the GM's, this as you may guess killed the server in under 2 weeks because she was given carte-blanche to do what she wanted and decided that pking people in town was a hoot because they couldn't attack back, and with her ability to follow people if they teleported she would chase em down till she killed em 10 times and then she would find a new person to do it to.

Now the point to this story is that a server MAY not seem like it could become unbalanced however people are both weak and stupid, especially if you are some lonely guy with no social skills or life whatsoever and some big boobied babe decides she wants to get ahead.
Now I am not saying this could be the downfall of RPG however if something happened once and was learned about then it probably happened 50 times without being learned about and history will always repeat.

So although you may be right in saying 600 mill adena, hell says say 600 billion adena, may not upset the balance and whatnots you are probably 100% right, however the donations for armour and weapons sets that are all mysteriously +24 etc will most assuredly upset the balance.
So be on the lookout, you like rpg and therefore could be the best one to monitor game changes.

My friends from retail are actually quitting Bartz to move to RPGclub's new 5x opening in a couple of days (they've been waiting awhile for a private with retail gracia files). More people really should take interest. I tested it with them on the 1000x and everything works flawlessly; we tried out all of HB and most important areas.

There do seem to be donation coins you can buy and sell for adena in-game, but to be honest I'm told they're super expensive compared to other servers so it shouldn't be a huge deal. Obviously it's a downside since it will definitely affect clan halls and whatever, but there's simply no replacement for having the actual retail files. I'm not playing on a modified C4 joke server ever again -- none of that shit works how retail works.. not even close.

Don't worry, there's enough ppl taking interest : )
Too many and it will be too overcrowded and lags will kill us. Then we'll have to wait for hardware upgrade.
2,5k-3k online is more then enough for the start.

After dex has not done any bugfixes to the game for months now and their supposed lagfixes have completely failed, i'm looking for a similar/higher quality server with:

decent ping to europe

gracia+ OR modded skill enchanting for attributes on glads/tyrants/kamael etc who do not have them before.

consistent rates: x-times quest item rate and/or x-times reward for items instead of only adena/xp.
(from what i understand, retail quest item rate was improved at some point anyway?)

age: none-ancient. I think 1-2 years would be fine, give or take some depending on rates.

working instances: yea. I left retail before this, but i _think_ things like DCM only letting in 1 duo every 30 minutes isn't exactly "working".

Population: decent? I dont need 3k players on, but i'd say sieges should have more than 2vs3 party fights. And not just at one castle either.

Donations: No top grade equip, certainly no enchanted equip, and no safe-enchant scrolls. not sure if i even have to mention this in search for LOW rates. Donations for green ponys, square hats and spongebob pants are fine.


Bonus Points for:
- Low/Retail Adena rate but increased mats/items/scroll etc drops/spoils.
- Removed Mithril Arrow/Stem/Metal Hardener and other shit drops in 76+ areas at least. Possibly replaced drops in said areas by (increased) CBP, Steel, Crafted Leather etc.
- Faster raid-respawns including epics.
- Reduced camping times for spawn time variation on epics (8 hours, come on! :roll: its getting old!)
- 3mil for changing to second class. I've pretty much seen all of the quests, and i dont care for another revisit.



I've not heard of such a thing, but i guess i can dream? :P

All 3rd class skill enchants work plus most of new Epilogue skill enchants.
All Epilogue areas work but some (like Primeval) still miss the Epilogue drops.
It has "Good work's reward" retail quest to buy 2nd class with 3 million adena.
Sieges are epic with a lot of participants and active supporters despite of allowed boxing.
Kamaloka, Rim Kamaloka (solo) from Russian Retail, Pailaka, IoP, Hellbound etc work.
All mobs, bosses, droplists updated 100% to Gracia Final (due to rpg-club!) and most Epilogue too.

You see all but support section.
Site+Forums was at RaidFight.com and moved to .Eu last month.
We had 25k members in old forums!

So forums was wiped and we make cleanup of spam/lame/flaming topics every week.
2300 online as we speak...

i'm looking for an IL serv or gf/ge srv from 7x up to 15x, no more, no less
if got any good suggestions post here or pm
/care about servers with lolppl and lolcustoms

would be best if there's no box if there are a lot of ppl

i would continue on raidfight, but like any other big and old servers, w/o sy to invite you in a big clan or ally, you'll have a lot of trouble imo and plying 4x for that is a lil bit too harsh for a pve-generic guy like me

I've recently stopped RF too, and moved to AstralWorld. It's same software, same retail-like feeling, only rates are x10, which makes grinding less intensive. Community is little low, but we're working hard on it by voting and advertising server, and I expect that these efforts will pay back soon.

So, if you have a little patience and wanna join something which will hopefully develop into something as successful as RF, then I encourage you to give it a try. Moreover, if you love challenges, then I encourage you to contact me someway, as me and my friends are preparing a kind of clan you've never seen before (-: More information coming soon!

PS Oh, and here's my short review of server.
