Bump. Still seeking

This is the kind of post I've been waiting for. JME looks impressive and seems to be the best way to approach the client issue. A good friend was telling me about MS's XNA but I told him I would need to use Java (which he hates). I sent you a PM Setekh

Yea, I saw a few of them and they are quite impressive. The only thing they're missing is a good 3D artist ;) Which can be found easily on other forums. For now I need to find an unemployed Java developer (haha)

I know what I'm up against and aware that most people on here would like compensation for their work. I'm not looking for these people since I won't be getting compensation either. This project is going to be a completely non-profit endeavor and money will never be an issue. I am only looking for people who would like to use their work as a launching pad into the industry and not to make a few bucks in the short term. This project is for those who are interested in their long term careers in the gaming industry. I guess we would need to use the L2 client temporarily but ideally, I'd like to move away from the retail client and develop a new client. We will definitely have to look for client developers but this probably isn't the best place to look for client devs and 3D artists.

Some of you may have heard of L2Luna and our desire for real customization. Unfortunately, I don't consider any past attempts of Luna as successes because of the limitations of L2Off. We are now moving to L2J and have high hopes of the availability and access given by its source. I am currently looking for knowledgable Java developers who show interest in joining our team to create a new game. Our goal is to create a fun experience for players by using a core set of game design principles (which have already been outlined), understanding our target audience, and listening to the community. Unlike most L2 servers, we plan to only use the source code as.. a source and nothing else. Everything related to L2 will likely be removed and new modules will need to be developed and coded. This is an ambitious project and will need support for at least a year or more. This project is for you if you want to build a good portfolio for future employment at an AAA game studio. Let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Details of the project can be explained here if requested. Thanks

The server had a rough time at launch but it is extremely stable now. Also, the updater has been fixed as far as I can see. There are new downloads available for the full client as well as a system folder + patcher.

10 minutes! Doors will be open at exactly 0 seconds on the countdown

Yes, you are correct. Login server will be opened at exactly 21:00 GMT +2

No problem. See you in game soon The classes page will probably take a week to finish but I can only start working on it again once everything is running smoothly on the server. I'll have to watch the server as we launch and make sure everything goes as planned. I will try to get a couple done tomorrow. Are there any specific classes you'd like to see?

Hehe, no need to insult him =) He just made a mistake, we all make em sometimes. Anyways, yes, you need to download the full client first and then update. The first link uses the updater to FULL update the client. You have to then run it again to get the newest updated files. The second link just downloads all the files in a rar which you have to extract. Then you run the updater.

If you don't have Hellbound already,you need to use one of these: 1) http://files.l2luna.com/update/L2Luna_Installer.msi 2) http://files.l2luna.com/L2Luna.Files.Full.1.00.rar

Which downloader did you use? Full Client Installer or the Updater? Try putting UpdatesUrl=http://files.l2luna.com/update/files in _settings.ini and run the updater again

Go to your folder and open _settings.ini Make sure the line that says "UpdatesUrl=" is: UpdatesUrl=http://files.l2luna.com/update/files/part If it is, try deleting your system folder and then running the updater again.

Did you try loading the game after that? Let me know what happens

Yes. You can get online now and just play around until it's wiped for launch.

The "Full Client Installer" is just the Luna Updater but it will download the entire client. You need to run the updater twice though. So: 1. Install the Luna Updater from this link: http://files.l2luna.com/update/L2Luna_Installer.msi 2. Run the updater 3. After it's all updated, close it and run it one more time 4. Press play Let me know if you have any other problems

In-game accounts are being given in our IRC channel: But please note that characters will be deleted before launch on Friday. You can get an early preview of what to expect on launch day.

From a PM 1) No sir! Luna only takes inspiration from DotA, it is not exactly DotA. Having payed dota might help you a little but in the end a dota player and a normal gamer will both have to learn the unique mechanics and skills of the game. 2) Usually in retail PvP it takes 2-3 hits to kill someone with a bow. It is not this case on Luna. PvPs take a moderate amount of time and will require strategy. The videos only show the skills being used on weak mobs such as orcs or elpies. You may have seen some of our older videos from 2008. Those are the skills from old Luna - the server is much different from then. Make sure the videos you are watching are recent from 2010.
