we are talking about innova not nc west bot farmfest...innova bans boters and am talking from experience..plus botting on l2 classic? rly,where if u die from mobs u maybe drop ur gear!seems legit

Ok...That's great. Just checking waters... I was speculating in a way.

And yet, sadly, just as someone said before, Eu Classic will only be for european players...So more than half of the world/community will be left out... I personally like all races:)

I don't understand what's the point of l2 classic..i've read it only has B grade, no soulshots and the drop rates are 6 times lower than official C1. I don't see why people want to suffer that torture.

Maybe some classes are unbalanced now (IL to H5) but at least there's something to do

Because thats the only way to slowdown the gear/lvl progression so ppl can enjoy low lvl pvps:
- going 4-6 h/day = lvl 40-45 after 2-3 months
- going 24/7 = lvl 55-60 after 2-3 months

Everyone can still participate in mass events despite the high difference of their playtime (you cant say the same thing about a 2-3 months old 1x IL/G Final server where the gap would be so much higher)

And theres also this (if u have decent sides):

The main problem for EU l2classic will probably be the low online numbers after 30-40 days, the ppl that are actually willing to play this game again (softcore or hardcore) for a long period of time. And I mean the CPs not the random hipsters going full retarded mode "LFP lvl 30+"

As for innova and the botting situation on RU classic: they banned every1; even if u managed to hide your bot at low lvls (1-20-30 in 1-2 months) no1 risked their chars over 35-40 because you didnt have an option for unban xD and theres also the possibility of loosing items upon dying.

if rpg club will be h5, then gg, again one month and half population is gone, untll new years server is dead only top endgame players left...

So far the RPG referendum votes show that the vast majority wants H5...

AND DEX referendum shows most people voting for H5 too---> 46% for H5 and 37%GF )

Crazy

EDIT: actually according to the DEX poll from the link tutanka sent on this thread, the most votes are for GF:) 37% Vs 28% (H5). But on their forum H5 wins.

That's not the case of innova l2 classic.
It will be pay to play, and if you are on America you won't be able to pay, so you cannot play the game at all.

You can't buy subscription on RU with EU credit card and yet I play on RU ... everyone who knows how to use a computer can do workaround with those problems, like having a friend form EU buying subscription for you or buying a giftcode with which you can activate subscription.

Unfortunately not everyone has an EU friend and most people will stop at "American players can't join the server" cause not everyone knows how to work things around or are willing to try alternate routes, hack the system or buy gift-codes...not to mention not everyone wants to pay...

So, in other words, the community is fragmented, which is something we don't really want considering that L2 community is kinda naturally dying.

there are still ways to pay for subscription. l2 core /classic players cant pay for ingame shop stuff or accounts at all but there are still NA/SA players that play there right?

Yes, there are....some. That's what I was saying too. But definitely not many.

well . we can only blame nsoft cuz they got it in their contract. its not innova faulth
