Hi everyone this is my first post as you can tell. I was just wondering if anyone could answer me a simple question?! How in the world after a server is wipe down 3-4 days later you see players in vespers? And two weeks later with weapon +8 when the max is +12 (the servers I usually play are 15x). Like what is the secret? How can I do that? I first start playing l2 when it was interlude until gracia final, then I join the USMC in which leave me no time at all to play. But now Im back to HF. And is just insane to see this, in just few days. So here Im asking for help because honestly, I have no fucking idea on what Im suppose to do!!!!!

Hello.
I dont know where you play at, but seems you dont know the basics:
Private servers in 90% of cases are opened because of donations - you pay (if you want ofc) for armors/weapons/jewels/etc
Soon after donations stop, usually the server is wiped or closed. Because its not cheap to run a stable server.

My advice is to look arround and find a stable server with stable owners.
Some of them are l2dex, lineage.ru and raidfight.

Im about to start in L2 tales 15x. what're you saying is true, but what about those honest players that just know how to play, and don't donate. my goal is to be as good as them. And you're correct when you say I dont know that basics. unfortunately I never had someone teach them to me.
