Thank you very much, we will keep up the the good work.
Quest items for Exploration of Giants Cave Part 1 and Part 2 increased by 6 (x6).
After reboot:
Dn sub required level reduced to 78.
Igor/Magor prices has been adjusted in ratio with player's collected amount and level.
We apologise for this downtime, for obvious reasons. It was our mistake , but well things like this happens. Good thing in this madness is that this issue happened during early morning hours (1am+) when most of players are from other side of ocean, also this issue was UP not more then 4-5h in which time they simply couldn't made unlimited amount of adena who could affect drastically on server, so we cross compared database and it is not really big deal not even close to the one that happened on DN back on past, what we did is we have wiped adena from players who exploited and of course fixed the issue.
To compensate for the downtime we have added a weekend event, npc in Luxury shop where you could spend your precious adena for some worthy items (ONLY for weekend).
Server will be up within the next 1hr 30min as we are making some back ups.
Once again we do apologise for this issue , hopefully we won't repeat again.
Small downtime to correct some missing things.

Small downtime to correct some missing things.
Fixed some missing things, server is going up in few minutes.Sorry for the invinionce but it was really needed.
This bug was active during the hours of 2am to 7am, as we are mostly from Europe a high percentage of our players was off. This does not mean it didn't damage the server but at least at a minimal. The way we have stopped this from spreading is pull out all suspicious players, won't go too in depth but as long as the player had unusual amount of D/C grade armor/weapon that was sold by the NPC and also by Igor (not too many) we had the players flagged. Same goes to high value of adena and crystal count. Flagged players then will get monitored by one of the GM to be determined a ban or not, some obvious ones like having a whole warehouse full of weapons are ban immediately others not so obvious were decided carefully.
Accounts who were flagged would also have other accounts monitored (mains).
Now, those who got the ban, after the extra amount of item/adena/crystals has been taken away they will get their characters back but this will take some time so we had to ban all of them for now to stop the situation from going bad to worst.
Topics regarding wipe/rollback - This is not necessary, as I said the main event was taking place during the off peak hours of the server and most of those who had the chance were far too busy creating accounts upon accounts to store their goods for later use.
Clan Halls - We will be monitoring those, if they are owned by greedy people we will place them back on auction.
I hope this answers some of your questions.
Small down time tonight at around 12 midnight gmt+1. Shouldnt be longer than one hour.
During this down time we did some house cleaning on the database, and all those who got ban from the incident happened on Saturday should be all freed now.
Some raid boss' stats has been reduced slightly
However as you may have noticed server is still not up. This is caused by unexpected server stability issue which started from this afternoon, we weren't able to resolve the problem so we contacted the guys at the datacenter, they are taking a look at it right now so I will keep you posted.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Server is coming back online now, sorry for the delay.
Ps. While waiting we have adjusted quest item for Whisper of Dreams 1 and 2. Legacy of Insolence. Quest item for those increased by x4. :)
Spam section opened, now you can let general section clean.
Ingame rules updated regarding l2walker, you can read about them in annoucment section, the rules will be applyed in 12h from now on.
We know about NPC buffers/Mobs/SS lags, that happened after last restart it was quite fine before, so we are looking at it, we have no doubts it will be all okey during the day, just have a little more patience,thank you.
Server down to check the cause of problems.

Server down to check the cause of problems.
Server is back up and working with fixed issues, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
Since you flooded general section i will write here instead of replying to each one of you.
Yes we know server is unstable last few days, and you can be sure Descent.Drake,Me and few more people are working on fixing those loops who makes a crash, we cleaned some errors we got and there are few others to be checked/fixed. However i dont know if you noticed but, but Dragon x15 server is also affected by this "wierd issues" of crashing without reason, so we are not the only one.
I also want to remind you in 1st week we had 3-4 days of uptime so there is no reason to have same or even bigger uptime in the future,every server has its own issues sometimes.
We can asure you this is just temporary siutation which will pass quite soon, since we are on its case 24/7,and in the end do you really think we like this kind of situations instead of working on gameplay boosts/events and so on....but life is like that sometimes and all we can do at this point is to promoise you fast fix and work on it 27/7 (as we are doing it anyway).
Also we cant put servers down and fix cause we need it running cause of logs/dumpts/errors in general.
Once again we are sorry for inconvenience, but it is just a temporary issue, once is fixed everything, including our work to make you better gameplay/events/usual fixes.... will be back to normal!
Hi,
For the past few days we have been checking all the logs minutes before the time of crash in hope to see a pattern to find the main cause of the crash but have not yet narrowed down the issue. Dragon server had the same issue but resolved itself within a few days, the only difference between the two servers is 7 signs so we have cleared all 7 sign data and is now running same 7 sign as Dragon and hope this will change something.
We apologies for the crappy uptime of the server recently and trying to resolve this as soon as we can.
Thanks
We have been disabling many things and turning them back on on server to find the cause and the latest one was the sub npc last night at around 11pm and server was up for 15hrs +, we will be enabling the npc back but stripped down to see the actual cause of the crash. So eventually she will be back to normal.
Not long now!
Thanks for understanding.
Npc not working issue has been fixed.
Coming days there will be a new npc to allow those with same main class and retail to switch.
After next reboot:
VoP drop rate got boosted.

After massive spam on forum regarding recent fixes, i can only say to you that you are not watching big picture for future only present selfish situation, so i wont comment it no more.
Bison fix will finally bring balance to raid system which and even more important will make raids again team party missions,also regarding this:
All 75+ raids that were boosted (cause of ty/de) are back to default p/mdef value (since we dont have issue with them no more), so finally they can be enjoyable for all classes and races. ( <<<< After next reboot)
Global pvp damage is fixed (NOT NERFED, FIXED) how it should work (we will comapre some results too) so the pvp itslef should be more balanced now (DO NOT COMPARE RESULTS WITH PREVIOUS STATE) therefor no need for panic or making up stories.
Also in netx 24-48h i will update rules for Valkyria regarding the forum spam and dissrespect of GM-s on it, which will cause big punishments and eventually punish at in game chars, we are working here for you, you can advise us or consult us but we wont allow you anymore to insult/flame nor dissrespect us in game as well as on forum too.
