I've added the respawn times to the Kain Features topic. Scroll down to Epics section. While collecting information about respawns, I've also adjusted them to match a faster pace of the server. You can find more information about Epic Respawns update on [Kain] Changelog [2021-04-17] post.

Thanks everyone for voting. It has been closed for a bit now, but we need to make it official. With overwhelming support the community decided to start Olympiad games from May 1st.

I've nerfed mob cancels, they should be such a pain anymore. One day, not soon enough

Thanks everyone for your input and Shook for organizing the poll Since the vote was too close to call, I made a decision to disable Community Board for the Cursed Weapon wielder for now. I'd like to add a few of my thoughts on the matter. IMO Cursed Weapons were created to help deal with bots, which complete opposite of what we're doing. I believe now that we have high level characters it won't so much of an issue. I should have disabled them for a few weeks for launch to begin with. Instead of removing a feature, I'd like to rework it in a way that worked for a bot allowed server.

Have you fallen through TOI floor on Kain?

Before we remove an obstacle, maybe we could find an alternative?

Team: Let's make a poll and let community decide! Community:

You weren't able to?

Right now the limits are set as follows: Weapon +10 Armor/Jewels +6

We wanted to bring something new for the launch of Kain and we saw an opportunity in Epic Jewels. Ring of Core and Earring of Orfen felt like a waste at high levels.

We hope you'll find Kain Lineage2 retail-like experience exciting and balanced. Open Beta Test server has been live for a while now so you can jump in and see for yourself.

Finally found it!

I remember we discussed this concept before I like it, but it messes with dynamics quite a bit, don't you think?

Towns are where you meet, trade, and stare at OE weapons.

Hey Mike! @Vykaax shared this over on discord. Hope it helps L2Project_API.txt

Hello fellow botters! After the hard lessons from Bartz and with the new project coming up, it is clear that we need more presence on the team. Thankfully our community is filled with great and knowledgeable people! Without a further ado, I'm excited to welcome @Shook to the L2Toggle Support Team! @Shook generously agreed to help our community by providing support and oversight in and out of game. He will also overlook GM recruiting efforts. Please join me in welcoming @Shook to the team! P.S. We are actively recruiting GMs and @Shook will create a post with more detail soon.
