From now on, today 2015.11.26 no more assistance is being given on SHARED ACCOUNT scam cases.

How to avoid being scammed:
-Staff will never ever ask you for any password, nor account info.
-Don't use 3rd party websites where they ask for any crescedentials of you. No such a service exist that has access to DN's machine / databases.
-Simply don't share your password.

will be counted to shared account too: if account shared between family, in that case somebody comes up with a family card "hey, i only shared acc with my son/daughter/wife/partner w/e"

There is no possible backdoor somebody just bruteforce or hack your acc. Is your fault. Use some difficult-type password, also recommended not to use same account name with your character name.

- Hude NPC is UP, now you can exchange your Darion badges for 3 randomly deployed mats. Enjoy.

*Upcoming fixes/updates will be applied by Sunday;Announcement to follow.

Planned server restart will occur in the morning 2015.12.05 sometime 8-10am
there won't be downtime, just a restart to apply some fixes from bug report section

Hello guys,

Life aint easy sometimes, it hits hard time to time and you have to face it in order to keep on going. In other words I had shitty period, because of which i couldnt be online. It seems to be fine and therefor in next 48h im fully back and ill start clearing mess and resolving issues with my team as we were doing it non stop for past 90 days.

I have nothing else to say except, sorry.

Hello all,

As you may see, after personal turbulent period, im finally back and operational. We continue on improving,fixing and developing things as we did in previous period. Once again apologies for the my unplanned absence i couldn't prevent this.

planned maintenance on friday (1.22), time is not yet known, most probably evening

-improvements to newbie system, new system will be released, all newcomers will have a chance to catch up fast with our new fast growth packs, but it won't be an instant pvp server yet
more details with the release
-fully reworked vote system to reach new players, new essential and cool items to obtain with vote coins

planned server restart is happening in few minutes, you need to do FULL CHECK

-newbie system is a bit improved, further improvements during next week
--Fast growth potions (newbie helper potions) are added to help newcomers with extreme exp boost
--Newbie items are up to A grade from now on, we will add few hours S grade periodic items too for vote coins
-Vote Coin reward is now active, if you vote from now on you will get Vote Coins ingame instead of Reward Coins, it is possible to do exchange 1x Vote Coin -> 1x Reward Coin in alt b
-A list of goodies are available throught alt+b for vote coins

CLIENTSIDE FILES AFFECTED DURING THIS UPDATE:
-armorgrp
-etcitemgrp
-itemname
-skillname
-skillgrp

maybe this info usefull for some custom modded client user

Please do a fullcheck again!

Thank you

hotfix can be expected tonight, updating security module
announcements ingame will be done before restart

Update for login problems:
Click Here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0kYfbzLVBCbWEVPMHU0ZnRpbFE/view?usp=sharing)

copy this into your system folder and overwrite existing one

server will remain offline for a short period of time, means 1-2 hours until we solve current dupe issue what banned Fear clan members caused
The damage is not enough tho to make server dead, don't panic and don't worry
you all have your items and stuffs saved since we have a good rollback times
until situation is cleared stay calm and dont open 213123 topics, with this you can help us too

update status 2016/01/30

-Rollback has been done successful, today's mess is just a nightmare
-For server's security and sake we open login tomorrow afternoon cause we still need to clean some junks and tomorrow we can see how's the new monitoring system works
-Partial update and compensate will also be given
be aware abusers, we're gonna do a deep scan dupers, laggers, also those whom made +30 skills in these laggs, a completely new filtering system has been developed which logs fully every single info about whos doing and he won't ever get another chance to ruin other ppl's fun and economy

as we learn from issues, i myself personally here, since i'm still new here, I'm along improving and helping the project to be up for long term

SO server will be opened 1/30 afternoon, more detailed time to be posted, take a break, sleep out this mess and we start with a brighter future

Update status 2016/01/30 - part 2 *Final logs, words*

I try to be short and write important things only.
It took time and we are not yet 100% finished with cleaning the garbage out from server. This means, we blocked (ban) total of 58 characters in this mess, this means perma ban to both pc & characters and will never be removed. A complete list can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/avPx1naH
These characters are banned now, plus there are guys whom banned taking part in these dupes Fanatic and co.
Since some of these involved in lagging the server, it never was our server rack problem or ISP net problem or the extender and files problem, they were doing it. Yet we tried to max out server performance, setup settings to best optional perfomance and due to this our rollback saves are affected too. Last usable rollback is: 2016/01/29 6:00am which has been restored succesfully. I know it's sad cause most of you guys lost what you farmed until the time mess started.
What we can recover, we have logs and most important items can be given back. So further on
you will need to contact me (I'd love if on skype..) with exact or aprox time when you get XY item or craft w/e. I won't promise giving back 1 stem drop due to limited free time (of mine), so IMPORTANT items please. That's my answer to questions: i farmed xy hours is it lost?

Q: I farmed X hours is that exp lost?
A: As compensation for exp we double the exp sp rate for 72hr, hopefully i can finish 28's update for vote system too by that time.

Be aware ADRENALINE users, updated blackwatch has been applied
from now on detection autoban is given, plus externally logged to a txt file everything which will be reviewed and manually delete items, block character

A completely new packetfilter has been developed with a monitoring system, same as blackwatch
any packet spam will be logged to a txt with detailed infos, the action to exploiter will be given automated by system, as more info: since we had no other option but to be sure nothing weirdo happens again every single existing Lineage 2 packet is being filtered from now on, you might get disconnect sometimes, we need to adjust some of the filters yet. If packet spam detected is different and logged.

Partial update to vote system will be released with the exp boost end.
We are here with the devs, before upping the server we are monitoring every items and packets for a period of time manually too.
You cheaters will not ruin the project, you simply can't. What you just did actually showing weak points of the files so we can fill the gaps and thank you so we can improve it more.

DN and HellRaiser will be a better place without you. We will be here and serving gameservers as we've been doing for long period of time.

who lost items due to rollback, items will be given back don't worry, be patient

first we must solve critical issues which pop'ed up recently, which is super weird because on test server these issues do not exist
your spam is not helping at all and currently im at pc and dying because im tired too

server will be down because of ongoing debug of major issues that can't be fixed just with a simple restart and few commands
Thanks for understanding

eta: min. 10mins max. 12hrs

Server is UP and operational. Hopefully problem with NPC-s is solved.

Thank you for being patient.

Planned maintenance will take place within an hour or so. Moving files from dev server to live server. So a restart will occur.

Blacksmith material craft update, x25 recipes

Since we've been forced to develop a complete packet filtering system and it's a must to have it operational 0/24/7, it has also downsides
like extracting items (pouches, ancient tome of demon etc.) get slowed due to the packet floods, so Blacksmith's material craft - recipe requirement has been removed, also since we are not x1 server (adena) prices are boosted as well.
IN SHORT: You can craft at blacksmith materials with increased prices, but there is no delay on it, you type how much material you want.

x25 material recipes are added. It takes x25 more material, result is also x25.
ALT+B -> Shop -> Donate Coin -> x25 Recipes

i.e Recipe: Coarse Bone Powder x25
Required material: 250 animal bone(s)
Result: 25 Coarse Bone Powder(s)

as I wrote, alpha beta releases, we can still modify them how we want, more infos I will announce when the time comes for them
also somebody can just steal these ideas, we have our purpose with them, so we are here and we are working on new stuffs..

today's update a little bit postponed due to 1 glitch in new features
sorry, next time I won't announce unstable revisions

Quote from: =^TrackZero^= on August 23, 2016, 07:07:19 PM
We will make it as test server with gm shop where you can test everything and give feedback. After we are close to new opening we will wipe everything and prepare for the new server. As i said earlier, we are preparing loyal packs for server supporters.

This time has arrived, we are prepairing into Test phase. GM Shop and other helpers will be added continously. For now new features under tests, which i detail today later on. A full backup of files/db/scripts/structures are done.
I try to give as much info as I can, and now detail all info you are curious about.

Test phase also means: Expect more downtimes, restarts

2016.08.25 changelog


Streaming feature is active from now on, rewards to be posted later on ..

Q: How it works?
A: Use ingame command .stream on twitch_channel_name[/b]

IMPORTANT!!!!
You will only be rewarded in that case you follow our streaming rules!!!
FULL Streaming rules to be posted as well later on.. cause implementation finished a little bit late night.

FOR NOW-RULES

1. USE "Dragon-Network.net Hellbound" somewhere in Stream title. You can set this in dashboard obviously. Your stream title doesn't need to only contain "Dragon-Network.net Hellbound".
Examples:

Alannah's weekend stream - Dragon-Network.net Hellbound [âœ"]
Alannah's weekend stream -> not rewarded

2. In twitch.tv -> settings YOU MUST enable archive broadcast option
more info: https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1575302-videos-on-demand
3. You start stream -> then after you are live on twitch use command ingame

when you use command ingame, the system itself will save some infos to us so we can cross-check your profile -> vods

SECURITY
WE do not ask for any of your password, streaming key etc. You only need to provide channel name when using the command.

2016.08.27 changelog

Skill changes:
-Recharge skill can not be casted on yourself anymore, no more self-recharge. All other classes including rechargers (ee,se) can be charged.
-Lowered dances/songs mp consumption by 10% for fighter classes


OBT Gameplay:
-Added back full schemebuffer
-Added gm shop with all goodies except enchants.

More changes coming during the weekend, I'm still on holidays so excuse for limited time.

IMPORTANT!
Streaming from OBT is available and it will be rewarded on live server as well.

Current rules for Streaming is above!

some hotfixes for previous update have been done, now they are all active and working

Streaming-Twitch users:

I've seen some of you already tried ingame command. Well none of those tries can be rewarded.

the correct usage of command:

.stream on your_twitch_channel
example of mine: .stream on dnalannah   (since my twitch channel is dnalannah)

wrong usage of command: .stream on twitch_channel_DN or .stream on twitch_channel_name...
also follow the rules for these otherwise we can't reward you

Something else is still under development and we will release it from the GARAGE.

We are releasing TvT engine with today's restart.

This update contains:

Normal TvT, registration will go with 1 link and system will randomize ppl in queue so there won't be any tactical sign up option that next person will go other team, is pure random now.
We added ranked event engine, CTF and TvT now can be played as ranked.

Q: What does ranked CTF,TVT mean?
A: These matches reward players with special points stored in database, regarding if they win they earn points randomly (setable in ini, need adjust) currently i set win_min=24 win_max=41
if they lose they get points deducted randomly between setupped amounts, current setup: lose_min=24 lose_max=34

this update should contain .rank command as well!? which should shown your current division in systemmsg?!
i will write about this more once we figured out at what stage it is, we need to test these if crashing srv or no

Server should be back online around 19-20h gmt+1. We will keep you informed.

Server is running and everything is back to normal again. We do, once again, apologize for unplanned maintenance of 24h, but it was really necessary to clear all the bad air.

Without going into further details at this point, from the players report, we did a cross checks and found out that there were indeed more epics then it should be. After further investigation we realized that GM Sam was compromised, it eventually resulted of punishing all the items that were produced. People that were directly involved were banned as well.
Beside mentioned, 2 major exploit-friendly holes are detected and they are sealed as well, that includes a ban as well to a player that has been using it. All items/chars were deleted accordingly.

In the upcoming period more evaluation regarding this matter will be applied, and if you have any additional questions or doubts about your char/trade, contact GM Alannah via PM with an statement. After we do cross checks and evaluate your case, there will be a positive or negative verdict.

We encourage players to report bad players and to play fair. If you discover a bug, better report it and expect the reward, than get yourself punished HARD.
-----------------

Several reported bugs from the bug report section will be resolved in the following weeks.
-----------------

Due to high amount of requests arrived, it will take time to solve them all.
Within 72hr all cases will be solved, I do read PMs even is no answer yet, you won't be forgotten no worries.

Urgent maintenance to refund players that were punished wrongly.

1st batch - DONE.

VOTE system is UP, please support and vote for your server and claim your reward in game!
