Looking forward to it :)

I considered HB but there are really no good HB Ext. out there that I have seen. The best one would take a minimum of 6 months to get close to complete retail HB.

Join me on IRC it's lonely with just a eggdrop to talk to!

Right now I would say 1-2 months.

This I can promise you and the reason I give no ETA. I am taking my time making sure it will be done right.

Will have to see what I come up with and hopefully people here might throw in a few ideas. From what I have been seeing and reading over the past 4-5 months a stable, secure, un-corrupt, ddos protected OFF Interlude server is pretty unique these days. lol

I haven't really posted any features beside basic Interlude. I would love to hear everybody's ideas on making a great Interlude server. So if you have an idea post it here or drop by IRC and toss it out there.

Speak for yourself. Maybe the server won't last but I'll do my best to make sure it does. Upgrading to newer chronicles every few months is another idea I have been playing with. We'll see :)

The L2 private server community is built on trolls, embrace it, love it, rejoice in it or they win.

I have been out of the L2 private server world for almost 2 years. About 4 months ago I started lurking here and around some other forums and saw that there was a real shortage of quality Mid-rate Interlude servers. Being that it is my favourite chronicle I started researching what was available for opening a server and have finally put together a solid plan. I am not new to private servers and have spent a lot of time playing with L2J and OFF files. I have played since C1 and know the game (up to Interlude) very well. My job is building custom servers and consulting so I know this extremely well. I am just starting to put everything together so there is currently no ETA on when the server will open. I will take my time and do it right. Site and forums will be coming in a week or so. For now our IRC channel is going and I hope some of you might join us there as I would like to hear any ideas or opinions you have. Longtime idlers (semi-active :P) will have a small reward when the server opens so join us! Put up some forums for now until the main site is ready. mainly as a place for me to record things but you are welcome to register and use them if you like. http://faithl2.com/boards IRC Information Server: irc.p2pirc.org Channel: #Faith Auto Join: May or not may work for you irc://irc.p2pirc.org/faith General Information We are running [OFF] Files.

This item will be redeemable for real $$. I know some people will say "your trying to bring people buy using real $$". This is not what I intend. I think the chance of making a few extra $ while farming or for killing a epic adds a bit more excitement to something most of us have done many times over as well as create a little extra competition for epics. Not sure if I will do this or not just a idea at this point. I will update this as things progress. I am looking for a few good staff members for the following positions: Forum Mods, and IRC Mods. Anybody interested on being one or both of these needs to be in our IRC whenever possible. With this project I am hoping to bring the community a stable long term server. I hope to see you there!

SSD disks don't mean much if your setup is not good. The fastest hardware can be screwed by a not so good setup or inefficient code. It does not mean everyone will get it at first. At the start sometimes only those that use it the quickest will be affected and if it continues to build eventually everybody will be affected it all depends on what is causing the problem. With SSD they should have no issue so maybe their mssql config isn't good or some bad code somewhere.

There are always trolls for the well populated servers....they follow the good servers like a pack of coyotes. Has been that way for a longtime and don't see it changing lol. I would try but I am working on my own server at the moment :P

SS Lag is not caused by connection it is caused by IO load on the servers hardrives.
