l2 was and will always be divided in 2 parts. prelude - interlude lovers and kameal+++ lovers. the old school players like myself do not like the star wars gameplay in kameal++ but thats another story.
now about servers. there is no serious server around. the community is dumber every day. no mature ppl mostly spoiled kids playing. servers have always the same features or max enchants over 9000 etc.
dont get me wrong.. i tried kameal++ but still it was not the same as cronicle 3 which was the best cronicle in my opinion. then again interlude is the most alike to cronicle 3 this is why i am almost always playing interlude. i used to play low/mid rates but i dont have time anymore to play servers like that and when i chose to play high rate its always the same. kids who spam hero 24/7, corrupted staff, clans zerging and thinking they know to play l2 when they even dont know how to assist, who to kill first,second,third... i could write more but i am not bothered.
anyway i think l2 will still live for some year untill they will shout down official. death of official will be the death of l2.
