As always we are updating and determined to keep our server great!
New GM Shop Service, no more accidents at the GM Shop, Archer update, dressme update and more!
http://www.L2Equanimity.com/random/archers.jpg
- Now NPCs that require you to trade in gear (armor exchange, weapon exchange, blessed zaken etc) will NOT take your ++ items by accident, these shops now require +0 items to be traded in, the pop up warning windows have been updated to reflect this change. This is to help avoid mistakes and wasted time and frustrating petitions to help GMs and Players.
- Due to the above change, some people may not always have +0 items to turn in, so we added a new service to the GM shop Remove Enchantments from your gear so it can be traded to these NPC shops if necessary.
- Fixed an issue where Newbie Bonus Chest has a small chance of giving you nothing, thanks Larina for reporting.
- Skrill has been added to .donate as a payment option and also a button on our websites donation page.
- Fixed an issue with Star Fall, its cast time was much longer then retail (which was not on purpose), thanks Eyon for reporting.
- GM tool updates to help make things easier on GMs. On this note, Balls is no longer needed to do special name changes where the name already exists and needs to be swapped between two characters (which are both owned by you, we won't still peoples names). Normal GMs can now do this as well.
- Screwed up something with instanced clan halls last update, its now fixed, thanks for reporting!
- Posted on our website a compilation of the last few months of updates, go check it out!.
- Updated our .newbie -> "Which Clans recruit new players" section.
- In another effort to ease the difficulty for archers on our server they can now VR damage like melee weapons can, however they are some conditions it won't work in PvP/Against players what so ever, it will only work on mobs, but the VR amount for bows is half of what a normal weapon would be.
- .dressme requirements/conditions have been simplified, there is now no level requirement or grade requirement, if it causes problems (which it may), we will put the conditions back. This was done because a high % of new players we talk to "think" that .dressme is broke cause they don't read system messages, we want them to experience our features asap!
- In addition to above, its more convenient to do dressme, if your dressme mode is not on it will automatically turn on when you click any weapon/armor in .dressme to look at it.
Here are some more updates!
http://www.L2Equanimity.com/random/pets.jpg
New GM Shop Service, a new way to get A grade Weapon Tokens and more!
- GM events such as HNS and Rabbit Chest Event now have a chance of giving A Grade Weapon tokens, enjoy!
- a new service to the GM Shop has been added called "Pet Exchange" the pet upgrade items in the luxury area of the GM Shop have been removed you will need to upgrade/Exchange them at this service instead, please note you need to actually summon the pet to upgrade them, and reach the proper level and requirements shown on that page.
- Now when Olympiad matches initiate there will be a global announcement for it, letting everyone know about current Olympiad activity, especially if you are interesting in joining and you are not standing around in town to see the normal shouts from the NPC. Thanks for the suggestion!
- in addition to the recent (prevention of loss) updates to NPCs that exchange gear only when its +0 to prevent people from accidentally trading in their enchanted gear, we now also require that the item not be augmented on these trade ins, so they don't accidentally trade in good augmented items on accident too. We don't want people to lose their stuff!
- Due to the above the "warning" messages when entering a shop section that contains these types of transactions have been updated as well.
- Fixed an issue where people could not swap pet items at the GM Shop anymore due to the (prevention of loss) counter measures above, that's partially why we made the new Pet Exchange service.
- Added a few new, yet important faq sections titled "I
heart emoticon
EQ! How do bad servers have ++ online?", and "Why don't you guys advertise more". These are extremely common questions, so feel free to read them if you are curious, you may be surprised!
- Updated some faq sections with more "related" faq sections towards the bottom.
- .newbie > "Which clans recruit new players" have been updated!.
- Various GM tool updates.
- Now when players access the Warehouse section of the GM Shop they will be prompted with a notification if they are a clan leader in regards to the "Warehouse search" privileged for clans, making sure they know that that privileged on our server allows that player to withdraw from the clan warehouse. To help prevent theft/loss/issues.
- The required GE to rename your clan has been reduced to 500, enjoy!
- Updated the .newbie section about Oath items, including the % enchant rates of Oath items, and about how you can use newbie scrolls on Newbie Bonus Chests.
- Updated .newbie and added a new section that talks about various acronyms on the server like HZ, GI, KC, CKC so new people know what they are, if you can think of a common acronym for our server that is not listed, feel free to suggest to us that it be added to the list.
- Recently increased server stability, it can now run longer with out server restarts/issues.
As always more updates!
http://www.L2Equanimity.com/random/sieges5.jpg
A new GM Shop service has been added to help you make your character stronger, and other updates!
- We have created a new GM Shop Serviced called "Character Builder". This is a service that helps you make your character stronger with tips/suggestions/information. This is just the first implementation of it, so it will get more in depth over time. For example right now it checks for things like Weapon Resist rebirth skills, Making sure you have Divine Inspiration maxed out, Make sure you have last breath type rebirth skills, making sure you are noble, checking for sleep/bleed/hold rebirth type skills, making sure you are max level, and making sure you have your certs maxed out. In the future we plan on class specific recommendations, and dye set ups etc. So if you are wondering how to make your character stronger, see if it says anything for you! Enjoy.
- One of our old GMs have returned to help us out! His name is Dudu, you will see him around! If you have any issues with him, feel free to contact Balls directly at balls006@hotmail.com.
- Fixed an issue when a clan removed its penalty at the GM shop with GE, and the server restarted with in that 24 hours, they were re-given back the penalty. This is now resolved and won't happy anymore.
- Various GM tool updates to help make things easier to manage!
- .newbie > Which clans recruit new players has been updated! Don't forget to contact us if you want your clan added here!
- Now when a player gets a new PvP streak rank upgrade ( every 3 kills in a streak) there will be a global announcement about it.
- Fixed a problem with event scoreboards DCing players at the end of an event we many players signed up. We had too many players online/participating in events recently that the html load of the community board where the scoreboards were at it overloaded the client limit. Now the scoreboard mechanics are more dynamic and will create new pages automatically every 15 players.
- Using Shadow Step and Rush type skills is now blocked if you have the CTF Flag in an event. Please note Warp, Blink, and Hide were already blocked in these situations.
Hmmm... Let give this server a try. so far I like what are your doing with updates. I got to give this one try that for sure, so be ready for my feedback after I try and test this Game server out
Thanks for the post, and i look forward to your feedback, if you need any help with the server you can email me at balls006@hotmail.com, have fun!Quote:

Here are some things you should know about newbie rewards/benefits
1.) You can use your newbie scrolls to get a free S84 armor set at the GM Shop's newbie section. These sets there will say for example Oath Elegia. I want to make sure you know Oath items are actually very good. They have the same stats as normal items, and they also have special benefits. They are easier to enchant, and easier to add elementals to. You can also mix them with a normal armor set and still get the set bonus. The only down side is that they are not tradable, but its highly recommended to use them. Their enchant rates are 73% (normal is 70%) and for blesseds 78% (normal blesseds are 75%). You can get Oath Blesseds with your newbie scrolls at the newbie section of the GM Shop
2.) You can get more newbie scrolls from events, instances, and voting. All give great prizes to everyone already, but new players get additional prizes stacked on top of the normal rewards in the form of newbie scrolls to help you catch up. The more newbie scrolls you get the more you can enhance your character and your Oath items.
3.) Events are one of the best ways to get items/adena. You get prizes from events even if you lose that event. So its in your best interest to do them. They are also very fun of course, you just need level 84 first.
4.) We have special events designed for new players called "Limited" mode events. Limited mode events make it where if anyone has an item over +10, it has the same stats of +10 instead. It also blocks the use of any hero/clan skills. This makes it much more fair for new players to play. When an event is announced it will say mode "Limited" or mode "Default" events are in limited mode 50% of the time. So watch for them.
5.) I hope you get a chance to test our many features such as: Achievements, PvP Streaks, PvP Rewards, PvP Assists (Support classes get prizes and recognition in PvP too), Rebirthing, Custom Instances, Choosable Weapon Glows. .dressme, lots of configurable settings in .options. Our custom event engine, and so much more!
6.) I advise that new players sell their Giant's Codex Mastery (GCM) on the Giran market/to other players, because they are worth 2.5b+ Adena. It can help you build your character much faster by taking advantage of the high market values. Getting your skills +++ is really an end game thing, besides you will obtain plenty GC, Oath GC, and Oath GCM to sufficiently enchant your skills anyways.
7.) we offer PvP/PvP protection against newer players, we have safe zones to farm, but we also have a specail buff that prevents anyone from attacking you if they are more then 1 level apart, so with this you can bring a safe zone with you everywhere if you meet the requirements. Additionally if there are circumstances where you can be PKed and its an old player vs a new player that person gets double the karma and double the PKs. You can't work off your karma here in just a few mobs, we don't work like that.
8.) Feel free to contact me at any time, type /gm in game to submit a petition, or email me at balls006@hotmail.com, or on facebook.
Additionally new clans get free clan levels/reputation depending on how many players they bring
Also we list all the clans on the server that recruit new players and who to contact to get into those clans, and what languages those clans speak. All this information above and more is available as reference in game when you type .newbie additional questions/information can be found in .faq
We also offer a gm shop service that helps players build their character, and of course GMs (and myself personally) will take time out for you and give you advice about your class, or anything you could be missing that could make you stronger.
Really nice server nice and pretty active population fun pvp i like most if not all the changes/buffs to the lesser played classes. not long after i logged in i was greeted by a gm. reeper i think it was told about the newbie rewards/benefits i found the gm to be very helpful and welcoming. great server keep it up
Thanks for replying, and i am glad you noticed our great support!Quote:

We want all our players to succeed. We even made a new player tracker to help get in touch with them, that is how we found you, and that is how we will find anyone else who joins to properly welcome them :)
As always, we are updating :)
http://www.L2Equanimity.com/random/safety.jpg
- Various fixes/updates including a new .options setting!
- A new feature/.options setting has been added its called Safety Mode. When its On it prevents players from accidentally selling/destroying important items including: S84 or Augmented or PvP or Boss Jewels or Highly Enchanted (+10 or higher) or Elemented items. People accidentally sell/destroy items quite often, we would like to prevent that, and promote a more enjoyable accident free experience. It also uses up a lot of the staff time.
- The new .options setting Safety Mode is ON but default, we recommend you keep it on as well.
- Noblesse buff has been updated and now preserves buffs for summons in events, enjoy!
- More prevent of loss updates, we previously blocked accidentally trading in augmented items to the GM shop at the weapon exchange (for heart stones) but little did we know if you have multiples of that item that are not augmented while your augmented item was in your inventory at +0, and you kept clicking you could lose your augmented item still, this is now fixed.
- Fixed an issue with custom clan halls when you ported to FoW or FoR you would still be in an instance and not see anything, this won't happen anymore, thanks for the report!
- fixed an issue that allowed you to augment a PvPed boss weapon, thanks for the report!
- Fixed a problem with A grade armor token when you chose fists, and Dragon Grinder it was not showing the proper weapon texture, thanks for reporting!
- Fixed, or should be fixed, when hugging walls in KOTH giants Cave map getting the out of bounds penalty/paralyze. Thanks for reporting!
- The reward for catching a bot has been increased, it is now 5 GCM please note the rules/rewards for a group of bots differ check the updated .faq about it. Please note you only receive the reward if we confirm they are botting. If you think someone is a bot please reporting it to a gm, if one is not online you can email me at balls006@hotmail.com
- Fixed the problem with the pet exchange purpose that made it where you could not upgrade your pet even when you had the proper items (it wanted you to have more then it asked for). Thanks for reporting!
- Updated Beleth, hopefully it will no longer make extra copies of itself and other problems.
We are currently having a DOUBLE GCM/GC/LS/Enchant Scroll + Blessed Scroll/HS/AA drop rate weekend! Come log in, and enjoy it :)
http://www.L2Equanimity.com/random/adenastuff.jpg
Bumping!
As always, we are updating the server! :)
http://www.L2Equanimity.com/random/tattoo.jpg
- Equip-able Tattoos have been added to the server and more! Type .news for the details.
- Client Patch version 5.2 has been released, make sure to update your client with our auto updater, or use our new patch. A lot of this update can only be seen if you update your files.
- Tattoos have now been introduced to our server. Most people know about them, the L2 community seems quite fond of them. They are known to be very unbalanced, but our way we will try to keep it balanced. You can type the command .tattoos to see all tattoos and what they give. 27 Tattoos in total were added. All stats are subject to change. They are essentially an extra piece of equipment that gives some stats. All stats are subject change. The goal is to create more diversity/different builds/more to do.
- Tattoos are obtained at the Merchant of Mammon you need a level 18 Soul Crystal 30 PvP Coins and 2m AA to get it. We now have custom ways to level up soul crystals explained below.
- Soul Crystals can be leveled on Frozen/VoL mobs up to level 10, level 11 to 16 is done on either T rex, Nymp, FoR Mobs, or custom/epic raids, but raids are not required until later. after that Raids are required to get to 18. You can use the command .soulcrystals for help and details on the %s of each mob and how it works with more specifics. Difficulty/chances to level up crystals are subject to change.
- There will be more things to obtain with soul crystals in the future.
- New players automatically obtain a free randomized Oath Tattoo when they make a new character which is obviously non trade-able. Players that are still new to the server (made with in the last few months) can claim their Oath Tattoo now at the Achievement claim service at the GM Shop. Since new players automatically get one, this means tattoos don't really make a bigger gap between new and old players. Again these were introduced for my diversity/builds, not to make old players stronger then new ones.
- Level 18 Soul Crystals now may be exchanged at the merchant of mammon for a different color. The price for the exchange is 10 PvP Coins and 100k AA.
- The way Warp/Blink skills work has been changed. If you keep spamming these types of skills over and over again, you will eventually develop a range penalty. Please note you can still use it for a little while with out a penalty. Every second that goes by the penalty is decreased until it disappears, but each time you use a warp/blink type skill it adds to this range penalty. So not using it makes it go back to normal. Spam it over and over again it won't move you far at all. This penalty rate etc is subject to change.
- Updated .newbie > Which clans recruit new players section!
- Updated news posts on our websites main page.
- Updates news posts on our Auto Updater.
- The description of ways to get A grade weapon token was updated to reflect how you currently get it.
- When someone destroys another players kill streak, it is now announced, if it was over 3.
- Fixed an issue with our new .safety feature, depending on how you order your items when you sell them, anything before the protected item sold would disappear and stop when it reached a protected item, if your protected item was first, it would not cause a problem, regardless this issue is now fixed, thx Mali6ka for reporting.
- A Bulgarian section has been added to the forums.
- A new rule is now in place, we do not allow people to publicly talk about account buying/selling/trading in shout/hero/trade chat/all chat. As most know we do not support this, and people end up getting scammed on a daily bases, despite us telling you not to. There is no way for us to stop people from doing this realistically, but we won't allow you to publicly discuss it on our server, if you shout about it you may be chat banned with out warning.
- Big updates to GM tools, to make things more efficient, and easier on the GM side.
- Automated announcements and .info tips have been updated to include newer features such as Character Builder service.<br1>
- The command .staff was updated to include information about the GMs we box to help take care of petitions/newbie welcomes faster, such as Balls2, Balls3 Reaper92, to help avoid confusion. Also you will notice Reaper91 is now Head GM!
- Various client side updates that include: updated soul crystal descriptions that relate to tattoos and how to use them for convenience/user friendliness. Client side quest information for Enhance your Weapon quest to include text about Tattoos and custom mobs/raids and .soulcrystals command. Warp/Blink description updates so its understood how they work. Discipline Codex (for changing skill route) now clearly states that you can lose skill enchants by using it, so that there is no confusion. Boss Weapons descriptions have been updated so people know they are not designed for PvP here, Elegia Leather set bonus light up issues were fixed, some skill enchant route text by NCSoft were fixed, and more.
- If you find any bugs with the above updates, or any other bugs in general, please report them!
Bumping :)
