What'sup everyone! DrizzLx here, lead developer of a new "coming soon" Hi5 15x (35x w/ vitality) Lineage 2 server. I'm looking for everyone's opinions and ideas on what YOU would love to see in a Lineage 2 server. Keep in mind this is a low-mid rate server. Let's get to it! I'll list an overview of what we have so far and feel free to criticize it or suggest something!
L2Symple is dedicated to bringing back those long-lost precious memories we all have of Lineage 2. We are veteran retail players and aim to create a server that we can call home.
Rates: 15x (vitality is 1.5, 2.0, 2.0, 2.5 so vitality 4 is 37.5x) experience, 26x adena, any spoil or drops that are used on the server will have their own custom drop rate.
Players start at level 20 in their racial starting zone. All starting zones have been modified so you may level 20-40 by exploring them and killing the mobs. Upon entering the game you may select free 90-day D grade equipment from the Newbie Merchant.
To obtain equipment after your initial starting gear you will need to purchase common C grade. However, for those who have enough adena there will be a C, B, and A grade equipment shop linked to several merchants in main towns.
S-grade,S80, and S84 will be obtained by trading materials at a shop (which will drop/spoil in multiple high level zones). We love crafting but feel it would be too difficult if only dwarfs could craft, so we will allow players to trade a custom list of materials for the gear.
Noblesse and subclass - I think we are going to sell partial items so you don't have to do the whole quest.
NPC Buffer - 1 hour buffs. We all love buffs! The buffer has all the buffs you will need, including buffs for your summon. However, Prophecies, 3rd class dances/songs, dwarf buffs, pet buffs, dance of siren, dance of the vampire, and elemental resist dance/buff may only be obtained by Premium Accounts (which will be available via donation). So regular accounts will get all pre 76 buffs from the npc buffer, with the exception of those pre 76 skills listed above. If you do not wish to donate, feel free to create your own buffer.
Donations - Read above about the Premium Account system. We will NOT allow donations for weapons, armor, enchants, or things that you can't earn in-game. We hope that the Premium Account system we created will allow us to minimize donations to only misc items and items that will allow you to keep full vitality for an hour, which will make leveling easier.
Gatekeeper - We aren't big fans of a global gatekeeper, thoughts on this?
This is all so far, we're still in the very early stages and plan to have much more content. I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions and ideas!
Updates on gameplay:
C, B, and A grade weapons/armor will be free. S grade will cost adena and S80/S84 will use a unique crafting system that uses key materials.
[Regular Accounts] Players will receive full vitality and 1 hour vitality replenishing potion once per day, this item is bound to your character. [Premium Accounts] Will receive full vitality and multiple potions per day (we have not yet decided on quantity, maybe 2 or 3).
