I didn't intend to say that as if you were self-proclaimed JavaLord. It's just the title that was given to you by a member of this community, and knowing how the author of that topic was being ultra serious, it has just the right amount of sarcasm to smite an upset Tryskell into writing a paragraph about nothing. So you're saying IL is finally dead as it can get?

Oh no, the.. wait, what was it? "The True JavaLord" Tryskell is feeling competition? There's no competition between GC and IL serverpacks.

1 minute over lifetime? I bet a lot of the posters here qualify.

Fishing Simulator 2017: Grand Crusade Fishing Simulator 2017: Salvation Why play when you can AFK? Nobody plays L2 for more than 2h every two weeks (local server sieges).

C5 all files are without WinLicense. Helios? Some key files, yes. Not all. Try running on a VM, it'll show itself immediately.

C5 is a nice client though. No WinLicense/Themida, runs on modern windows, highly-up-to-date clan system, among other things.

Tbh, when you use up the mentee and oneday reward ss/sps, you must either cash in ($$$ NCoin) or you face the same old dilemma: Either weapon (clean, current grade) or armor (clean, current grade) or shots (for your currently owned weapon grade) To this very day, getting shots still kill any chance of equipment upgrades. Obviously, if you have top tier equipment on multiple chars and can rotate that to raise another alt, then that's a different story entirely. But the rule of getting at least 3 chars close to max level before you can afford at least mid tier gear+shots for it still applies. Even in Crusade.

Don't forget things like Infinite Odyssey/Underground infinite adena exploit - if those exes got out things like these would be found (and through abuse or tipping) would get patched by NC HQ, thus effectively killing the adena sales business run by certain 4game employees (yup, the same ones that also deal with gamecoast). There's nearly nobody left @ NC HQ on Lineage II project that still remember the initial design of this game - it's all about pushing CRs of adding new features sparing no expense of devs actually figuring out if something was already done or why things were done in a specific way (yeah, we had the +248 dye stats). The server and the client and getting more and more bug ridden (like the mass CEs on instance enter, mass CEs on appearances, etc, it took them what? 3 months to fix? and these were happening to every single player no less than 5 times/day EVERY day)

Liar please. Checksum (just name the algorithm) of all files please. Second of all, hAuth does not support csauth2. Neither C4 nor C5 are supported the way they are supposed to work. On the other hand, hAuthD does support both prelude version of login (no gate) and prelude version of login with RSA-block of user/password, which was used since C3 transitional versions (557+, e.g. 557, 560). It has been confirmed by nProtect that the GameGuard version used in C4 and C5 binaries has been blacklisted. It doesn't matter, even if you run it on real x86 hardware, the GameGuard will throw an error in your face. If you ONLY disable GameGuard, then cauath2 will fail, because it directly depends on it. The client will simply not run the network queue - run the fucking clean client with only GG removed in Olly, you piece of shit. THAT's THE WHOLE FUCKING REASON GG REMOVED SYSTEM FOLDERS also add either prelude or C3 login method to avoid using csauth2! You wouldn't know what clean means even if you were in charge of a dry cleaning business, ffs. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NORMIES KILL YOURSELF /****TRIGGERED**** EDIT: 530 C3 is known as C2C3, it hardly had anything C3 is famous about. No automatic soulshots, C1-style party matching, etc. etc. Then C3 555, which was pretty much the "real C3". After that came all the transitional versions (and a special story in Korea) where C3 was becoming C4 (starting with 557).

Current non-preview version is 1703, don't lag behind. C4/C5 is a joke, because to play that you must anyway disable csauth2, that's why everyone is playing those with custom clients that use prelude authentication instead of csauth2 gate. Regarding C3 - there are a lot of versions, so I'm sure some will work. What about Prelude? C1? C2?

As far as I understand, thanks to all the telemetry features, Microsoft is monitoring misuse, or let's say "borderline/intentional malfunction" usage of their operating system components. Whatever workaround you design today, MS will go out of the way and counter-fix it, because the OS is not supposed to work that way. By now, there have been 3 or 4 counter-fixes by Microsoft itself to patch various workarounds (read: bug abuse) for running Prelude to C4 on Windows 10. It's high time to give up. Just run a VM with some unsupported Windows (e.g. XP) and you won't have any problems.

Afaik the free version is Helios, so requires client with protocol version 64 (the LATEST!, not the 64 you get after installing Helios).

Here we go. And you said you are not a hater?

If so, you are forgetting the third group - evangelists, which either played too much of "real" L2 or RE'd a whole l2off package (not just a few core elements essential to start adding custom features). From an evangelist's PoV BOTH developers and admins are "destroying the game" © melnor. Developers are degenerate, because they ignore L2 and make each and every single feature their own way, blatantly disregarding Lineage II, as if purposefully trying NOT TO do things as they are in L2. Please note, the JavaLord (OP's citation) himself falls under this category. Admins are braindead, because you increased adena/drop/spoil rates but left shot craft price untouched? Your server will never be anything like L2, enjoy the inflation that kills your server in 2 months faggot. (if it's an x2 server, faster if x7 and so on). Also, L2OFF devs only care about minimal customizations - they never cared to understand how the game works. That's also the primary reason why a C4 PTS with IL protocol is not an IL server, nor is a dumbed down (content wise) GF server with IL protocol an IL server. And L2J devs believe they are making an L2 server emulator, despite glaring evidence that every single feature, including fundamental ones operate differently than in L2. I was truly happy to shine some light on the third side that people might miss.

Sounds like a typical superiority complex. Hate on others. You know, you can always just save your time and immediately tell everyone you will not service any requests that are not made in English (including those that are clearly Google-Translated) instead of getting annoyed and becoming a typical bitter old person who keeps telling everyone about "golden old times" and "times have gone to shit". You would also be amazed how much time I saved once I started doing this. It's really easy - and it increases your quality of life significantly. Here's an example: I do not answer translated messages. Except they are all irrelevant within this thread unless you want to steer it off topic.

Yeah, it's not our problem you scrubs are stuck with 1080p monitors when my 3 years old mobile phone already had 2560×1440. Get with the times plebs. People were using 1080p back in 1995, ffs.

It's amazing how a lot of people in this thread do not understand that l2 privately owned servers niche has already converted to seasonal servers as that is the only way to get anyone to play there. And you don't really need too much to start a server that will last a few months. Any prebuilt with typical customs and a server-specific spawnlist will do. And people will play. But such haters like Tryskell aVVe melron see a problem with that, but guess what! Do they have a successful private l2 server [that isn't seasonal]? I think we all know the answer.

I can confirm this, it was really bad. Sad storka Or, as Lineage II players would say

Updated first post. P.S. kys = kill yourself, addressed to those who destroy files before sharing

Since when is rewriting several bytes at specific locations of an exe "hard"? The only part where you would have problems is if you wanted to remove certain nonsensical stats and add new ones (in this context "stats" is what is seen in client "stats" window [alt+t]). And we know extender makers never do any serious changes, only add minor, "cosmetic" "features" which just show their brain damage regarding MMO gameplay.

Wtf are you consuming man, that shit must be good. High like sky…

Yeah, even the design is very l2.ru-ish (back when it was Kamael/Gracia). Also, since Innova doesn't give exes to 3rd parties, I guess that's how they try to compensate their failure in EU along with being able to test various things without affecting their official servers.

None of the L2 related Daemons need UDP. Also, 2 min protection to kick in sounds like a "reactive" solution. It's like waiting for cancer to reach stage 4 (complete confirmation that it's cancer) before treating it. That's why I always suggest to avoid anything that looks like a company run from a student's dormitory basement. @ElitePlayer: hahahahaha. NFC.

You would need to enable the tutorial mode that allows client to send camera rotation events. And after that, enjoy your DDoS by 100% legit L2 clients.
