x70 rate has been chosen to make the whole game play less grindy, so that occasional players would have a chance for the high level game. At the moment it seems to work for the purpose, so there are no plans to lower it, but who knows, some time later maybe. As for client, yes, we are using C6 client, modded to the C4 style. That is simply because of nice C6 client features (World Info system, Ability to enlarge map, expanding skill bar, better shaders, etc), plus C4 client is really old now requires quite much effort just to keep it running on modern systems and I am not even talking about 3D rendering :) As to the online players, yes, there are definitely more attention and new users are registering each day but we have yet to hit a hundred... Anyhow, my focus is more to the game it self and popularity is something that should come naturally to me, so yes, I bet result could be higher for people who put more focus to the advertisement.

Here comes yet another Monday and yet another patch to the Nostalgia world:

And thanks for review camenomat0 Don't hesitate to come back and check us out some time later ;)

Hello all, I am happy to see people getting on-board as our opening day is coming closer. It was planned to do move this project to the production on 2018-02-23, this will have to be postponed a little due to some personal asperities... The new opening date is planned on 2018-03-02/03! Hopefully this extra wait will translate into better developed world and infrastructure. Maintenance Since there are people playing most of the time, I can no longer do server maintenance whenever I am pleased. There for I would like to announce that maintenance periods will be done twice a week: Each Monday morning (09:00 AM GMT+2). Each Friday morning (09:00 AM GMT+2). This downtime can take from 15 minutes to an hour and will enable to introduce fixes, updates and proper overall maintenance of the infrastructure. Updated Game Info On a more cheerful note, the official L2 Nostalgia Info Page has been updated to reflect current status of things and features. You can find it sticky in the Features & Info section of the forum. Friday Update I am also happy to announce that our beloved mascot will receive an upgrade. It will be able to see people and give some hints about our game features. There will be a 1/10 chance to get a Wind Walk buff from him. And be careful, if you hit him, there will be chance to get a disease! Thank you for patience and understanding, See you in Game!

Player, be ready to fire your updater as there are news on the horizon. Mascot Our mascot has been introduced earlier: Mr. Chriu Himura is ready! Limiters Account limiter has been bumped up to allow up to 6 Game Accounts per Forum Account. Box limiter has been enabled again to reflect this. Server Socket limiter has been set for 9 clients per IP address. It is now allowed to run up to 6 L2 windows from one PC. If you hit a Server Socket limit, you will be banned for one day. These numbers are not set in stone, however, and may change according to the Vote Result! Quests Attention to the new players: Adena reward has been greatly increased for a lot of quests in all Starting Villages! By doing one or two of these quests you shall have Adena to buy nice things ;) A lot of High Level quests were boosted so it takes less time to do them. Chat There was a small problem with a Chat Filter. It was trying to parse h1d3n pr4s3s and would block a lot of proper messages because of this. It will behave properly now ;) That's it for now, Hope you will like the changes.

The upgrade went on pretty nicely, there were no serious issues and we are now using a new C6 Server and modified C6 client to serve a C4-like L2 Game :wink: I was testing things yesterday and all seem to run very well. I was even able to dig out the latest official Interlude Client update which improves performance of the Game. The new Nostalgia Client is now based on this update. So let's talk features. These things were removed from the Game: Shadow weapon system Augmentation system Herbs Dinosaurs and their *** island Newbie helper cats MP, HP, CP elixirs and pots removed from the stores Dices removed from the stores Death penalty system Demon swords New things were introduced: Clan Academy Better clan privilege system Expanding skill bar World Info (a.k.a. GPS) system Ability to enlarge map Offline shops (Simply buy license from warehouse chief and have it in your inventory when you start a private shop, then exit client) C6 Skills Better graphical rendering Auto Loot system (write .autoloot on/off) Ability to trade 1bil of Adena into Gold bars and back. Quest item drop amount has been increased for the 3rd and sub class related quests. Gatekeepers teleport to more nearby hunting areas in happy hours Global shout (simply write !Hi and it will be seen though the whole Nostalgia World) Skill auto learn system Spell books removed from the drop Also it is very nice to see that Nostalgia server is getting attention and climbing up in the server top lists, many thanks to people making voting effort! Things are looking really good and I am very optimistic about the possibility to announce a Production status on 2018-02-23! Thank you all and I hope you'll enjoy!

I guess it is time to announce The Plan for L2 Nostalgia world, There are plenty of people interested in C4 chronicle as I've recently experienced. More and more of them are coming here to check us out! Which is happy news, I'm really glad to see this :) Currently we are running vanilla C4 on nice C4 L2off extender of that period, this is both nice and ugly. Nice because there are a lot of authentic features, glitches and stuff. Pretty much every player who has played later chronicles has expressed the need for some nice features, that are offered by later C6 chronicle for example: Clan Academy Better clan privilege system Expanding skill bar World Info (a.k.a. GPS) system Ability to enlarge map Offline shops Proper 3rd class skills Better graphical rendering Gate Chant / Summon friend skills Probably I could name on and on and on... So I've been experimenting with the C6 sources and client and came into conclusion: There is nothing that would prevent us from having a proper C4 game experience and the nice features from C6 :idea: Basically we can take the C6 stuff, remove annoyances like these in particular: Shadow weapon system Augmentation system Herbs Dinosaurs Take and use the skill data, login, loading and startup screens from C4 and voila! Here we have it: a proper C4 game based and there for having all the nice little stuff from later C6! Another good news is that I already have a working proof of concept build on development server which seems to be running along nicely. It just needs to be polished and brought up to the same features we are currently using. Otherwise good to go! I hereby announce: production status is expected by the 2018-02-23! P.S. I intend to do my best to migrate our current game database to the new system, but there is a slight chance of wipe should I fail initial DB migration test is complete, result is positive! There will be no wipe, yay! P.P.S. Keep voting and inviting friends!

This is a home brew project meant to create a nonsense-free, retail-like, high-rate server based on one of the classical Lineage2 Chronicles. Chronicle 6 - Scions of Destiny We are using a Chronicle 6 - Interlude as a basis for our server, since this revision has all the required features. But we like Chronicle 4 - Scions of Destiny a lot, there for we are using it as a theme. Site https://l2nostalgia.eu Goal People seem to like rising goals for reason unknown, ours is to have fun and explore the world of Lineage2. Features Bumped up rates help to relax a bit after work by removing some of the grind, but keeping overall experience of proper game in tact. After considerable amount of experimenting and testing various setups and features, the conclusion was to use as little of custom stuff as possible: Mascot Mr. Chriu.
