Hey everyone!
I’m planning to set up my own Lineage 2 private server to play with a small group of friends. By “private,” I mean it’ll be strictly for our own circle - not to the public.
We’re a group of older (40+) players who spent a lot of time back in the day on the official EU/NA servers. We’re feeling nostalgic for the good old days and the classic L2 experience. We’re not interested in modern official servers, PvP, or drama - just relaxed, old-school gameplay.
Our goal is to enjoy some chill evening sessions: grinding mobs while chatting, exploring PvE content, hunting raid bosses, etc. We might even use a bot for 24/7 farming, more like a “tamagotchi-style” casual play. Because of that, most existing private servers don’t really fit what we’re looking for.
So, we decided to set up our own private server with our own rules - closed to outsiders (unless someone happens to share the same laid-back approach).
I’m an IT guy, but I don’t have prior experience setting up an L2 server. I’ve read quite a few topics here and elsewhere, so I have a general idea of what’s involved. I’ve also checked out some shared server packs, but either the links no longer work or they’re not quite what we want.
Currently looking for:
L2 server package (preferred versions: C5 / Interlude; also open to Kamael or Hellbound)
Corresponding L2 client
L2OFF only - no Java versions
Most stable build possible (bug-fixed), but staying close to the original gameplay
We’re setting this up purely for fun, so we don’t need a website, registration system, management tools, etc. There won’t be GMs.
Any help, links, or advice would be greatly appreciated!
If anyone is willing to share his experience in chat/live - would be great as well!
Thanks!
