Heads-up, I think he stopped responding.

Any plans to extend this to C3 and make it compatible with a downgraded interlude client? I work in C# not C++ and I've only been modifying C4 clients so far, but if someone is willing to give me some directions, I'm willing to put some serious time into the project.

So if I understand correctly, you are not using a dedicated auth server, which means that I should be able to run the server locally, without a WAN IP? Am I allowed to bind the server to an internal IP, for example 192.168.66.2?

Is it possible to downgrade this to C3/C4 with an Interlude Client? I can handle the client modifications myself. Also, am I limited to a hardware ID key? Or am I free use this pack wherever I want, for example 20 years from now, when you are no longer reachable?

Personal? The map/minimap :P

L2 classic is going strong on retail. Sure it has an updated engine, but it's basically C2.

That's still leaves us with my original question: "What C4 base to pick?" We are currently running a mixture of PostPacific, RaGEZONE, L2Storm, L2Merchant and the pack shared by @Kabaite, it works, but barely. We are not experiencing any major issues, but NPC logs are full of errors and I got a suspicion that we have to re-script half of the NPC data. Is there a decent pack around? Money isn't exactly an issue, we are all adults on this project, but we don't have the time to debug the pack for the next 12 months to get it working correctly. Is the pack from @agnitium reliable? And to clarify, no, we are not going to succumb to the sensationalist descriptions, so no worries @Kara`. We grew up playing Lineage 2 and we want to preserve its world for the future. If anything, we'd prefer to lunch a C2 server, but those files are impossible to find.

@SGuard @Kara` I'm going to hijack this thread to ask you a C4 related question, even though I feel slightly discouraged after reading Kara's response "If you tell them their respond is "No.. i dont do for this or donations". I got my hands on a dual Xeon x5670 machine with 96GB ram and thought about dedicating it to a L2 server (it's not much, but should be enough for a L2 server). The idea is to set it up, leave it running and never touch it again, like a little nostalgia bubble. To the question: is it pointless? I'm working on this with another ex dev, he used to be part of the MobL2 team, together with Tantor and jap (if anyone remembers those guys), but he doesn't remembers much, as it was 12 years ago. We managed to combine around 5 different server packs into a semi functional one, but still have some issues with NPC and GeoData errors and the documentation regarding it is scarce, really scarce. He's a decent programmer, but we went into this mostly as a tribute to our childhood, so starting with the basics and compiling everything from scratch to host a server with 50 active people seems like a major waste of time. Can the two of you point me in the right direction, or to someone who is willing to help? Our goal was to setup a functional C4 server, as basic as possible and leave it at it, no donations, no forum, just a discord channel. We have the server and a dedicated connection, so it can be online for the next 10 years with basically 0 maintenance costs. Thanks.

I get quite a few flags downloading this. Care to elaborate? (Thanks for the share tho) https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/99f8b6e5d45bc7b5c3bdc5aeeae09c85ab8e2b64b470d6ee283d5471de140e12/detection

Thank you for sharing.
