Hello to all. I waiting the new server to open and me as well try it and feel the original beauty of this game. When the game was released back in 2003-2004 I was not able to play on the official server. I start it a bit later (2005-2006) on a private server which was C4 at the time. I had great memories. 1 window was allowed back then, hardcore farm, you fight with others who will get the buffers in his parties, you make spoilers friends and general many in game friends. Also the slow progression was great and no mmorpg come close to l2 classic. Are very fast and boring imo.
When the C1 x1 Teon server open I enter and saw for the first time how the game was in the original version. Probably it was the best thing I have ever played and I understood how it was the original game. All had a meaning. Many of us have read the book from Ncsoft which give us guides how we play the game and what is the role of every class. This book has no meaning in other servers in higher rates as x3-x5 or in different chronicles c4-c6 etc. This book was made for the C1 chronicle and what you must do to play correct the game and survive. For the first time playing Teon C1 I saw all the grocery prices had a meaning. You can not go and buy 20 soe or 20 acumen potions because you do not have money.. On x3 server you see the 3k acu lvl2 price on grocery and you laugh. Why? Because is not correct. These prices was meant to be on x1 server and not on x3-x5-x7 etc servers. And this thing go to all market. The game was build around to x1 rate and not to higher rates. The soulshots hurts, and every adena you spend here and there.
Another thing that it was great on C1 was the class balance. Ncsoft made the classes to be usefull in general. All we know that in later chronicles many classes are useless and that was the idea of the "Median" server to bring to life all classes (but the server is far away from the original feeling of the game we know it). On c1 there is not Vampiric buff. What that means? Fighters will need heal or use great amounts adena on healing potions to survive in small area zones. But in dangerous areas they need a healer. And the class BP can be more valueble in such situation while in any other chronicle the class lag on many things on PVE and is not really needed. The book say "Find a tank and give him heal and you will farm both better".
WC has not have VR buff or DW. That gives more value to PP and to SE. EE has not have POW and general every class has not have 3rd class skills which destroy the balance of the game when c4 came out. EE can not go infinity mana on c1, has no Pow and general no prophecies. That means the hunting areas will be more harder without the best buffs and PVP more slower. Also SE has a meaning and is not the shadow of EE which is the must have support class in any server we have play today.
SPS is the God of PVP but on x1 server the mana hurts.. His survibility is not great and there comes the SH as an option to take on such server. Is a matter of choice. Better farm SH. Better PVP but hard farm SPS.
On C1 every buff matters from any support even from EE. The block shield buffs on C1 are really good in such difficult chronicle. Also no CP. The pvp in those chronicles was slower and you do not need CP while on c4 with the new buffs and changes the pvp became faster and an extra life bar made the pvp with more duration. In later chronicles such c5 when the herbs appeared you turned-off. Mana and buff herbs on the floor. That was no cool. c1-c3 was the most hardcore chronicles and I hope your server stay on that part.
All in all, I want to play the game how was created by Ncsoft in 2002 and how it was meant to be. To see all the quests which in other chronicles are waste of time how valueble they are on c1. To see all classes how valueble they are while on C1 there is no many buffs and skills from the classes and every char has a fair amount of support buffs/heals. Many of us sometime thinking to bring back the time and have a real chance to play on the original l2 C1 game how it was started but we cant do that. Elmorelab can do this to us and for that we all are excited. Is like we go back in time and we live something we always dreaming. But "I hope" you keep the game as it was released without many changes. Changes bring more Java servers. We are all here to play the original game. The original game was x1 rate and not 0.7 or x5 rate. I know the meaning to made it 0.7 rate for slower proctetion and the game survive more but the game was made for x1 rate as all other things (drops/quest/spoil etc).
Im ok to made some changes which will help ALL classes to farmed and be needable such mages can have 13 mobs max aoe like c4 and not unlimited which that gives the advange to high groups to dominate the server or any other "Fair play" change. But the c1 was enough fair play imo. All chars have a meaning even the worst as we know it on later chronicles. Waiting the realase day of your new server
