Game might be fine but the monetization will most certainly not. You see when we first started playing Lineage 2 it had the subscription model so the developers focused on adding content in a way that made sense and it was fun but now this game is build around monetization which is almost always detrimental to the gameplay experience.

The forum recently forced everyone to update their password with a password reset. Do password recovery.

I think you should do away with the party restrictions. It will just confuse the players and cause you a lot of support questions for no reason. Good luck with the new server.

The date is only important for how much time you want to give yourself to fix bugs or problems that arise after the opening. This is why big video games release either on Tuesday or on Thursday ahead of the weekend where its the most busy time.

Just do facebook ads byyourself, you will get way more clicks than any other place (topsites are a scam nowadays). Hell i even found some nice servers to play on myself from facebook and i barely use the site.

As the title says, im wondering, since everyone is so cynical towards L2 in this forum the last few years.

To answer my own question i am mostly playing single player stuff after building a decent gaming rig a few years back and i occasionally help the L2JServer team with testing things.

Who?

Honestly when i was trying Essence, Classic etc. the more i played the more i missed the freedom C4 or Interlude gave the player. Essence for example plays like a single player game, you just talk to an npc that gives you a fetch quest and then rewards you with several levels, gear and support items like pots and shots. You rarely engage with the economic and social systems since everything is "gifted" to you. 

If i wanted to sound like smartass i would say Essence is more instant gratification based while HF and older are more delayed gratification based.

The new versions of the game are tailored to people that want to have a solo and guided experience (hand holding), which in my opinion is completely antithetical to what Lineage 2 started as. 

I dont hate it but its not as fun.

We hosted the server for over a year including the closed beta phases.
Basically the expenses of the server kept running, while we had almost 0 online, unfortunately we couldn't keep up.
We tried our best but It wasn't enough.

It's sad to end our Lineage story ends like this, but it is what it is.

Thats too bad, well good luck with whatever you do next.

what happened? lol 

My guess is someone just bought everything for a hefty sum.

You use a clean pack and u got this issue ?

Thats actually a good point. OP have you tried another pack (maybe l2jserver or L2JMobius)? It could be a CPU specific thing, there were problems in the past with certain CPUs. Just to rule it out before digging into the code,

You can setup a business paypal account for personal use if its donations, however you should do 1 thing to avoid anxiety. Dont touch whatever money is there until 180 days have passed.

I think the safest way is crypto from what i hear. 

You can go the above board way and register an org for donation or small business if you make it a storefront thing but im not sure its worth the effort unless you are really serious about it.

They really need to improve bots for context awareness

Pays better than waiting tables if its a proper 8h (depending the country of course).

i kinda abandoned it the template system is almost done in bootstrap 5 with 18 template coloring systems, only the admin can see the changes and afterwards i would add a designer

(means this is my design and i know i suck at design its just developers prints not denart designs)

Just copy the old gray layout hopzone had and profit. Honesly even if you just messed up a little with css it can improve dramatically. 

Honestly the last few years i have clicked more on facebook server ads than i have visited any topsites to find a server.

Many applauds for L2JServer!

Isnt it you bedtime? Why are you necroposting?

Why would anyone use this when heidisql and dbeaver exist?

Im in the process of designing an Interlude server kinda like that but yea you wont find anything of the sort to my knowledge. For some reason every server is against multiboxing or tolerating botting. We can argue why all day but Lineage 2 was developed alongside botting and multiboxing, the reason its so grindy to begin with was to make it very time consuming for botters so forcing people to go at it solo only exaggerates the grindiness of the game. I guess the real purpose is to make it so people buy exp boosters and premium status that doubles the rates. i.e its good for business.

You need to give more details, what game version? What pack? What type of server? Low Rate, mid-rate?, PvP? How serious are you? Do you make it for money or is it a passion project?

Btw, I bet if I made you login in 1 L2J and 1 L2OFF you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. 

You can tell L2J from L2OFF by simply how fast the tutorial quest pops up when you login first time in the game. L2J takes several seconds when L2OFF is almost instant.

The official servers were developed with bots in mind, you cant just prohibit them and expect the server to be healthy. They implemented "trickery" in the game mechanics like for example the monsters in Cata and Necros having an ultimate defense skill to make it "harder" for bots among other things like instanced multi phase boss battles etc. Now how effective that is i dont know, probably very little. Its also why they made built in bots in recent versions of the game.

Stopping bots is an uphill battle, i guess it could be for donations or because the "Guard" and "Anti-Cheat" guys formed a cartel to make admins give them money for things that dont work for very long. I wouldnt be surprised the same people that sell these "protections" are the same that make the bot programs.

Dont forget back in the day all servers were full of bots but had thousands of players and lasted for a lot more than these "huur duur no bots in my servidor" 6 month at best servers.

lmao good luck getting anyone to play this. Its nothing like how echokinetics was. If you were counting on nostalgia you lost.
