So will areas that aren't those 3 be affected during this time? 

Yes, all NPCs will disappear with the restart.

There will be an unscheduled NPC server maintenance at 11:30 a.m. PDT (8 p.m. CEST) to continue to address the latency issues. The NPC servers will be unavailable for approximately 20 minutes. Game servers will continue to be available.

With this maintenance:

• Monster spawn times will be increased by 2x for the following hunting zones:
  • Altar of Evil
  • Blazing Swamp
  • Bloody Swampland

We are starting to receive reports of latency coming back again. I have sent new information to the Dev team to investigate.

This is my character with melee lag. I hope NCSoft really put all the hands on the deck because it is unplayable at this point. @Juji, @Hime

Any of these have players in it.

Coal mines is probably the most crowded place in whole l2, with tons of monsters per square and with a very high respawn rate.

These hunting zone changes were done back in 2019.

You've literally just switch the server locations... how can you need hardware change already? 

We're working through all the potential places the issues could be coming from.

@Hime Would you be able to indicate your troubleshooting steps and testing by chance? What are your theories as to the issues that are causing the performance decline? Will you be testing any of the suggestions the community has indicated such as the disabling of the Greedy Chests and the watchful players thereof and disabling the Ranking System as a test? Any transparency here of some work or troubleshooting steps may help ease the community's mind that NCsoft has been listening and could help restore some faith in some of the player base. 

Re...

Hi all, we'll be taking the servers offline at 1 p.m. PDT (10 p.m. GMT+1) to change the server hardware. The game will be unavailable for 90 minutes.

Hello Everyone,

We are actively working on addressing the current latency issues experienced in game. As we work on these issues, we will need to bring the servers offline. So with that, we will have an unscheduled maintenance to change the server hardware. All Live servers will be unavailable at 1:00 p.m. PDT (10:00 p.m GMT+1). Game servers will be unavailable for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Thank you for bearing with us!

Hello All, 

We are very aware of the current latency situation on the servers right now and are investigating multiple solutions to address this issue immediately.

More details will be posted shortly!
