L2 Equanimity News
April Updates!
We have had a substancial change this last month, we now have lameguard the best anti-bot system out there, on top of that we had a new patch that introduced more welcomes changes. If your interested to see who has the most pvp points based on class we also have that now too!
ANTI-BOT SYTEM, NEW PATCH, CLASS BASED PVP RANKINGS
- Adena and Exp rates are increased temporarily by 75%, GCM drop rate is also x2 this will last for a few days.
- Make sure your friends and clan mates know you need a new patch to connect!
- The main reason for the patch is We now have lameguard, lameguard may sound like some kind of joke but its serious business, it is one of the best anti-bot software out there and will literally stop 99% of botting, they wont be able to log in with their botting software for the most part. I personally and our staff spend way too much time dealing with bots, doing bot sweeps, running bot tests, banning bots, dealing with bot reports, and dealing with players begging for their accounts back, this will enable us to spend more time on more important things, and potentially retain more players instead of them being banned all the time, an example of this is we have literally banned 20+ accounts in the last week.

March Updates & Achievement System!
Its a new month and we have seen a great new feature added to the server, Achievements, players will be rewarded for completing special tasks, with items and achievement points. Players will also be ranked based on these points. Other then that there were lots of other changes, so see below.
ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM, NEW GM
- Our server now has a new feature, an Achievement System, similar to that of what you would see on gaming consoles and steam. Players will be rewarded with prizes and achievement points for completing specific tasks, to see a full list of achievements by typing .info and clicking the Achievement button.. This is just the initial implementation of this feature, we will build upon it and add more achievements in time and improve the system, there are currently 25 Achievements. There are bound to be a few bugs, so if you see any please report them.
- Achievement points have been added to your .stats window, and a ranking has been added for them as well.
- The command .timers has been added, certain achievements have a time limit to complete them in, this command will allow you see how much time has passed since you started that task and weather or not the goal time is expired yet.

COT UPDATES, FINISHED NEW EVENT ENGINE TRANSITION

- Added a new button to the main page of the Global GK, called "Where to level at?", its simply a button that lists areas with the mob levels next to it, so new players not familiar with l2 can simply find a place to exp for their level.

December and Updates!
Its a new month, and we are currently having a banner contest, it ends on December 10th, so far its going great! For more information check the forums, or type .contest in game. As usual here is the list of updates for this last month .
HIGHLIGHTS: BANNER CONTEST, NEW GM, CHOOSABLE SS GLOWS
- Clan Hall weekly rental rates have increased to the following, Top grade clan halls such as Adena are now 700m a week, mid grade ones such as Schuttgart are 600m a week, and the lowest grade ones such as gludin are 500m a week. This has been done to make sure inactive clans lose their clan halls, and newer clans on the server can actually acquire them. Note this is actually an update that happened several months ago... but i didnt apply the update correctly lol, so it never really happened. Make sure you have enough adena in your clan wh!
- DM/DMS has been rewritten to work with our new Event Engine (simular to how TvT, KOTH, CTP, CTF have been recently), this means it will not have the newest features such as waiting lists, and the flag removal when events starts, etc (setup time wont apply to this event, cause its not a team event). So if there is any issues at all with this event, please let us know. Only other event left is Raid Battle Event. Keep in mind the reason for all this rewriting and all that is to make it easier to add new features to events and make it easier to make new events all together.
- Possible fixes for the CTF issues we are having sometimes (sometimes there is still a flag NPC at someones base after someone took their flag, just in case the fix doesnt work we blocked the ability to cap the flag if there is a Flag NPC at your base when your enemy actually has your flag).
- Re disigned the news window, our old one was nasty.
