The server looks offline now. Of course there is a new forum entry posted today, saying it will start again.
This seems nice since it's Garcia and that is ideal for me. The new restart can prove to be a negative point but also a big positive. The new beginning trills me and if there will be a lot of people in time, then I'm sold. I do hope it will be a success. And they have every chance to be successful since the GoD-hype is finally starting to fade out.

idk what will be .. all I can say that guys worked hard 4 that server and was nice time to play there... hope they will offer to l2 community that server they need. no crazy rates, no instability, low donations, no bots, no jedi and no corruption.

aria will be on?: o

yup idk when will start, but I think will be smthing like ~1 month

1 month is way to long for a server that has everything going in terms of administration/files ... i honestly don't understand the wait. Hope they make it faster, coz there is nothing but IL and H5 nowdays, and some dead(low or no activity) epilogue ones.

it take that long because they want to advertise more before start, first time was not a perfect start(I dont rememeber ~500 afaik), and maybe this time will be better if they pay more attention on that, + I can't play this month... too busy with rl

Even 1 month of advertising will not do if advertising isn't at it's max.

I mean no offence but that's crap . Server is known, posted on pmfun only makes it visiable for 80% of the players out there, coz` most of them use pmfun to check servers, and if posted on other similar boards is ok.
And the only reason was shutdown in the 1st place was not beacause of low population, but beacause of constant ddos - that forced players to give up.
So all in all, i honestly don't see the need for a " long wait for advertising ", unless... they plan on spending few hundred euro`s on payed advertising, witch i don't think is the case, they're not that ritch
That's all

P.S and nowdays, advertising on l2 world is more of " word of mouth ", if the serv. is worth it we all have 1-2 friends, and they have 1-2 friends and so on. Hoping to have zillions of players at start is an utopia, that only big euro invested into the project can bring. All you can hope with free advertising is 3-500 players at start. After that, only the quality of service combined with administration support can bring more players.

I agree. They should open the server and let it speak for itself. Players will do the rest.
They will alert their fellows and mostly poeple gets here in groups, a clan from other server and stuff, not to mention that here in pmfun it's already known as much as it's needed.

Of course, if there is still work to be done that's a different matter. In that case, it's okay to ask for patience. But basically.. since we're just here to play, we've got no right to demand anything. Let's just be grateful when they open it.
Hope they will soon:)

i'm just a simple player there and more or less that was their official reason, idk what or when, but I will be there when it happen

from aria forum:

I don't know what's all that, but truth is, I don't need to know. I trust them.
We need patience now and AFTER opening too at least for another month to actually see how it will be, and how many people will play for good.

afaik they opend beta

Would be nice for staff to post some info`s here. And i hope to open it faster, i'm really borred and i know they gonna do a good job. ( provided they have a good ddos protection this time )

i will join here. Serious staff, not like in java servers...
