I want  to announce that Dragon's Network Interlude server Tarantula is officially opened. We apologize once again for small delay , but some things didn't really depend on us. I wish to thank also to all the players who have been patient and supporting us, thanks for that. Congratulations to whole Tarantula team for such achievement and wish us all best of LUCK!

================================

To play on Tarantula Server you need Interlude Client , that can be downloaded from here:

http://forum.dragon-community.net/index.php/topic,278732.0.html



After you installed clean Interlude client , you need a patch in order to play on Tarantula. Patch can be found here:


http://www.dragon-network.net/download/ILClientPatchDNET_full.zip


Eventually you can take just a Launcher :

>Start exe as administrator
>Put it on exception in antivirus, or any malware you may have at least for the 1st time

After some DDoS attacks that yesterday threatened the stability of the servers and the quality of the gameplay, we upped an anti-DDoS protection system.

At login you will probably notice that there are now up to 3 servers to choose from (center EUropa, middle RUssia, south ROmania).
Simply take the one with better connection for you (try them all, but usually just take the one that is probably nearer to your country).
Lowest ping = better connection
(If we see the three servers are not enough, we will add more.)

The login/gameservers are up and running fully.

All secondary services will slowly be restored, for the end of the day it should be all back to normal (webserver, patcher, etc... can have some quirks and behave weird)

Thanks and sorry for the nightly interruption.

http://www.dragon-network.net/drop

tarantula full droplist with actual calculated drop/spoil rates is now accessible online.

monsters positions on minimap will be added later (meanwhile refer to monster positions of dragon, should be correct in 80% of cases)

- Regarding Spoil:

Regarding the spoil chances, i guess it requires some explanation for who did not followed the topic related to it:


The Beginning:
Initially we had "just" dynamic rate curve and generic craft mats had 3x max quantity

The Complain:
Some people complained that, by unluck, item had a bad feeling of spoiling because ok you was getting 1-3 quantity (instead of 1) but chances was 3% so over 100 mobs usually 97 was empty. Bad Feeling and ragequit.

The First Solution:
Change the boost from quantity to a boost to chances (using correct math approach so the conversion rate remains same (1% rate = 2% max quantity))
This way, over 100 mobs, instead of have 3 lucky mobs that can give you 1-3, you have 6-7 mobs that each of them gives 1.
Is a bit better feeling as you feel more rewarded (less empty mobs).

The Problem (second complain):
The spoil is caplimited to 99% chances, so items that was already at 99% (or near that value) had NO benefits from the change of "quantity-to-chances".
The First Solution was basically giving more reward toward mid-low level monsters and basically zero boost rewards to high level monsters.

The Second and Final Solution (right now active):
When adding the extra chance, the value that goes over 99% is considered Overflow.
The Overflow is then recalculated and feeded back the the max quantity (same ratio 1% chance = 2% max quantity)

examples spoil of Crafted Leather:
here it overflows (with the boost it was going over 99%) so the chances are caplimited to 99% and quantity is raised accordly:
http://www.dragon-network.net/drop/npcinfo.php?from_level=0&id=21395&server_id=1

here it does not overflows (under 99%) so the chances is raised but not the quantity:
http://www.dragon-network.net/drop/npcinfo.php?id=22051&server_id=1&from_level=0

The values you see on Monster Finder are already final and fully calculated.
(Spoil skill level may reduce the % of spoiling from the enlisted values)

The system, this way, seems pretty solid and fair for all levels and i dont see further development required over it (finally i can focus on other stuffs)
Enjoy your spoiling!

As you have probably noticed, we had DDoS issues that have been resolved using proxies.
Tonight have been done some additional fine tuning for who was experiencing disconnections and have been added a 4th p. to the list.

Mailserver have been restored.
In case you need reset/change password or register a new account: now you can again.

- Failure at datacenter, they are solving the issue. Waiting support ticket for the ETA.

- Failure at datacenter, they are solving the issue. Waiting support ticket for the ETA.

Machines are all up, servers should follow in a bit.

Thank you and apologize for unplanned inconvenience.

EU2 p. have been updated with better performances/capacity.
Added also a new p. to the list (same engine of EU2)

New p. USA (located in Dallas, Texas) is operative.
You will see it from the list of proxies at login.

Please let us know if works good for you.
(refrain to use it if you are from europe/asia!)

Soon will follow up a new EU3 p..

EU1 and EU2 p. have been updated.
EU1 is located in Frankfurt
EU2 is located in Strasbourg
They should both have really good performances and lowest ping.

In case you are currently already connected to one of those, please re-login to be redirected to the new proxies (else you remain connected to the old ones and connection trough them will be cutted in next 48 hours)

- PVP_zones around EPIC bosses and Queen Ant is temporarily disabled because of co-existing bug. Until its fixed it will remain like this , we are building new system for it. [Requires reboot]

Thank you

- Data related to after sub exp and skill loss can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al15aDmbKPTTdDM1akEwTWJyZ1Rra1ZTb0kzb2s4X0E&usp=sharing#gid=0

- Autopickup adena range is enable! (*clearly NO range pick was excessive)

- Autoloot on adena disabled fully because of the exploit-bug exists. It will stay like this until further notice.

Whole datacenter is having major issues at the moment (everything is lagging, even their website is KO)

We expect them to fix it quite fast but meanwhile is to be expected major lags in the game (we cant do much about it).

Forum issue has been solved. However login issue appeared again, seems that hoster is doing some maintenance , we wrote a support ticket when they will be finally solve it. Hoping for shortest possible answer and resolving of the problem. I will inform you about everything.
Thank you

In game Rules <UPDATED> :

http://forum.dragon-community.net/index.php/topic,279249.0.html#new

- Happy Valentines day to all Tarantula players! In the glory of love we enabled heart event, which will remain active until 19.2.2014.

(http://i.imgur.com/6QjdozD.gif)

Valentines (http://legacy.lineage2.com/archive/2007/02/change_of_heart.html).

Enjoy!

- Tattoo bug fixed.

- Minor bug fixes.

As many of your probably have already noticed, on monster finder is now possible to see the items quantity in the game, the daily fluctuation and the average buy/sell price of the day!

This information is available only for crafting ingredients.

Example:
http://www.dragon-network.net/drop/iteminfo.php?name=crystal_b&server_id=1&from_level=0

On Monster Finder is now possible to see daily quantity/fluctuation and average daily prices for EVERY item in the game.

Example:
http://www.dragon-network.net/drop/iteminfo.php?name=doom_shield&server_id=1

TATTOOS
- Tattoo of Mahum (Crt. Damage) got a new progression curve 8%,12%,16%,20%,40%. This means the tattoo now gives twice the bonus of Tattoo of Ogre (PAtk) while dealing a Critical. (Mahum is better than Ogre when the Critical Rate is higher than 50% or when you rely on burst damage)

- Tattoo of Wall (Shield Defence) got a new additional effect: Increase AGGRO by a chance when attacking (scales with the level of tattoo).
It also got a better progression curve from 10% up to 80% (in case you are a tank with a good shield, this tattoo could be a better choice than the Tattoo for PDef).

RAID BOSSES
- Respawns have been changed for all raid bosses to remove the extreme advantage of dualboxers with lv1 dead character monitoring the respawn.
All RANDOM respawn windows have been massively shrinked to make every boss a great gathering point for everyone (and not just extremely hardcore or "char-cam" users)
This should bring many more PvP encounters.

GARDEN OF EVA
- All towns now teleports you directly on the cliff inside (external ring)
- All doors open/close time have been halved
- The random teleport cost have been changed to Adena instead of Mark of Andarta
- Added Shining Bow exchange (from Draconic Bow) to the rewards (500 Marks)

BUGFIXES
- Banish Seraph landing rate have been adjusted to Interlude (same rate of Turn Undead)

- Siege times will be re-corrected to fit the pattern of proper time Saturday - Sunday.

Event will take place tomorrow 22.02 at 19:00 GMT+1 in Garden Of Eva (PVP Zone)

You can join by talking with Gatekeeper in any town. Teleport is free and will teleport you to the entry of this area.

Your task is to collect as many Marks of Andarta is possible in 1h.
You can achieve them by killing other players of course inside of this pvp zone.

Event will finish at 20:00 GMT+1 so it will last for 1h

REWARDS

1st place: Strider + hat of choice
2nd place: Tattoo lv4 of choice (not empowered)
3rd place: Vial of Epic Enhancement

*Disclaimer: The area itself is made for real actions,real challenges and real players. No bots allowed, not cheats and exploits are allowed in order to gain rewards. If spotted and reported you will be jailed , (if repeated) banned, and all the marks deleted to 0. So if your intention is to cheat the area, don't go there, you will just waste our time and eventually punished for good. Thank you for respecting our effort and the rules we create with purpose of legit playing.
Any blocking of the way in safe zone (top of the tower) is forbidden.

Remember that you can always join GoE before event starts and make some warm-up, check our NPC with rewards or just make a tour around this area!

See you tomorrow in Garden Of Eva at 19:00 GMT+1 !!

Please FULLCHECK!

Garden Of Eva
The random teleport inside GoE is now free!
We have added an additional teleport in the starting location so you can get into action from the beginning.

New mechanics:

Changelog:

SUBCLASS SYSTEM
Subclass Quest is now doable at lv76.
Subclassing at lv76 brings you down to lv40.
Premium Horn works as before (you stay your current level)
CLICK HERE for full table of which level you get based on which level you subclass. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al15aDmbKPTTdDM1akEwTWJyZ1Rra1ZTb0kzb2s4X0E&usp=sharing)


EXP/DROP CURVE MINOR TWEAKS
Graphl View of Current Rates (http://www.dragon-network.net/stats/tar/rates.htm)
Exp/SP curve is basically the same as before except a really minor change on highest level (lv76+).
The ending curve now have 5x multiplier instead of 4.5x
Drop/Spoilrate follows it and engame is 3x instead of 2.5x
This pratically replicates, for endgame, the rates of Infinity server.
So at the moment the current setup of server, comparable to our old loved server is:
lv1 to 30 = Nightmare speed
(transition)
lv40 to 60 = Dragon speed
(transition)
lv76 to 80 = Infinity speed

OLYMPIADS

All other questions and issues should be forwarded to other staff.

Thank you

Hello,

We have some problems with hoster. Support ticket was already sent to them to fix problem as soon as possible. We sorry about this issue.

Thank you for understand!

Our hoster merged company with another company, they are re-routing and moving everything to the new system. Expect global downtime of 24h!

Apologize for the inconvenience , but our hoster have informed us about all this on German language (great...)

Thank you for patience

Our data center is still not replying us regarding Tarantula. We have over 7 support tickets opened and contacted them via all other possible ways, and yet no reply. We have it all documented.
.....
Once they tell us anything we will inform our players, and see how to minimize the damage they did to us.

.....
Once they tell us anything we will inform our players, and see how to minimize the damage they did to us.

Finally some of the good news. So here is the sum up and the news:

Our data center was bought by another German company. We have got 0 news about this (not only us but all their customers), as weird it sounds its absolute truth , else why we would want such downtime to happen.
So switching to new hoster and moving files physically created a HUGE mess to all customers of data center , again without notice nor emails.

Now, even we have opened 8+ support tickets, 1 of them was answered and after that we were kept in dark until present day. Basically the response was that they are moving files and that everything should be fine in next 24h. BUT , then something happened that left us in SHOCK. Our beloved old/new data center forgot to tell us that Germans have holidays when basically NOTHING works for several days:

http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/germany/

http://www.schulferien.org/Feiertage/feiertage.html

And again they didnt told us about it (by mistake or on purpose? we will never know), resulting full blackout and 0 info. We tried call them over 15 times , send unlimited amount of mails and camped their IRC for 24/7. To be even worst on Sunday morning our access to their web panel was disabled (and still is until present day). Some of you will probably  ask how dragon is working? Well, it seems like they managed to move dragon just before they went on free blackout holidays enjoying beers and sausages, while majority of us were suffering. Thank you Germany, so professional from your side.

Now thew NEWS:

Drake managed to reach them today via IRC (since holidays are over , at least for few days). I dont have to show you how many of "im sorry balblbalal" we got, and in the end it doesnt help us, and it wont end on that for them.
Basically they have told us that they wrongly sent our hard disks to a wrong person, they left them on the shell that is used for hdd formatting! GREAT! However we got lucky, they spotted the mistake they did and take our hdd-s back undamaged (as they said, i dont believe them before i see the files). So they told us they ordered missing parts for new data center , but because there was holidays for them there is delay in delivery. Long story short, they expect in next 36h that everything should be back as it was (maybe even earlier). So thats it, once we get back the access to our web panels (yes for some unknown reason we are still locked there), i will know the status and ETA when Tarantula will be back online.

Until then we can only wait as we dont have physically access to the files.

Thank you

- Meanwhile we are waiting Tarantula to comes back online, we have opened for our players World cup betting office for some fun, don't miss your chance to earn coins by betting on your team! More information can be found here:

http://forum.dragon-community.net/index.php/topic,284072.0.html

Good luck!

Downloaded all the files from our hdds, CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in database 'interlude'.

All our files are saved and all db (aka what you have played , items , chars all ...) saved 1/1. These are GREAT GREAT news, they didnt freak up hdds and our db! GREAT!

Now we are contacting them to wipe all and install fresh OS so we can access back via RDP and put files back. In addition we are enabling another machine at another hoster if their reply takes too long.

So more or less is a matter of day when tara will be back online. Once i have more details ill write u back.

But what matters now is that EVERYTHING IS SAVED 1/1.

Stay tuned.

- After the greatest issue we had in last 10 years, we finally managed to fully restore Tarantula back online, with all the data saved. We really like to apologize to our players, even if it wasn't our fault at all, for this inconvenience and for the brake they had from the game. There is no word to express our deepest regrets, therefor we will reward all the players with some benefits :

- Double rates in next 23 days [exp];[sp];[drop];[spoil]
- Each character got free hat in inventory free of charge (*if character >lv1)
- Trick and Transmutation event running until 17.7.2014
*Donation system (paypal) will be enabled in next 24h, so please support the server once the service is established back. [there will be announcement about it]

During each phase , please focus only on testing what is the subject of test for that period.

=============================================================

Phase 1
*We will start with the skills and its polishing to reach retail level as close as possible. We already did some work, but now we need more eyes and fingers in order to be completely sure we didnt miss some of the skills.
During test period all chars will be maximum level, SOE to giran and adena. In the Giran town, you will find shop and npcbuffers.
