Out with the old in with the new. Lineage 2 not too long ago announced that the account migrations would be happening and we woke up to find out it had happened today.
What I didn't see until I read the fine print on the support page was this:

Account Migration for NCSOFT Master Accounts
March 10th
We will be upgrading our account systems after tomorrow's maintenance to provide you with better service and enhanced features. Most players will not have to do anything to take advantage of the upgrade.
However, some players are still playing on older accounts (“NCSOFT Master Accounts”). If you are using a “user name” to log into the game, you will need to migrate over to our new system to continue the use of your accounts and to play NCSOFT games. Migrating your account is easy, completely free, and takes only a few minutes. And, as a special bonus for all our longtime players, people who complete their account migrations before May 1, 2015 will receive 400 NCoin to spend in-game.
Don’t wait too long. If you do not migrate your account, it will be deleted from our system. Once this happens, we will be unable to recover your account and any associated characters, items, or data.
We realize that this probably doesn’t apply to current players who use their email to log in to the game, but if you have friends or family members, who might not be aware of this, please pass the information along.
So let me get this right... The old school player that didn't log in and migrate their account/s... will be deleted!? well it appears so. So spread the word people -- if you ever played L2, you should log in and migrate your account.
Step 1 Dig up your old account info and log in here: https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/plaync_login.pl Step 2 Follow the step-by-step instructions that will be given to you upon logging in. Step 3 You are now able to play the game. It has gone free to play.
Keep in mind the game is no longer the L2 it used to be and the servers got merged and moved around. Your toons should still be there but ya just might have to rename them and/or look on other servers for them because the old servers are GONE. Even Bartz is no longer Bartz... it was merged then deleted and then remade.
No sooner had I posted the above, I was talking to an old clannie Xan on the phone and we discussed the lack of a new patch and how long it's been since the last one. The VERY next day the L2 gods must have heard our plea as this was posted on the official web site.
