We’re bringing you a new and hopefully the final and unmatched L2Max Hellbound. We will be using an L2j-L2OFF hybrid. It will allow ease of development and provide the stability everyone craves. We took into consideration the number of servers that are around. What most people want to play and we agreed that reaching a midway point is the best choice. The outside community is mostly split between Interlude and Gracia Final. We decided that Interlude does not have enough things to do and the lifespan of the server would be the same as it was during the last few attempts at it. However, as oldschool players ourselves we realise that Gracia Final is taking it too far and is taking a lot of “L2 out of the L2”. Hellbound combines both chronicles pretty well and actually brings a brilliant balance with it. It provides a longer lifespan for the server and doesn’t turn it into something that L2 isn’t.
The rates are yet to be decided but they will be Mid/Low rates. For now I could give you estimates. Also have in mind that Hellbound does not have a Vitality system, it only became active in Gracia pt1.
XP: 10-20x
SP: 10-20x
Drop: 5-10x
Drop amount: 1-2x, 1-3x
Spoil: 5-10x
Spoil amount: 1-2x, 1-3x
Raid drop: 2-5x
Quest drop: 1-5x (Custom, not all quests will be boosted or boosted evenly)
Quest reward: 3-10x (Custom, not all quests will be boosted or boosted evenly)

We're happy to bring you some news. We've decided on the live date! We're also revealing some of the rates for the time being. We can disclose for now that XP/SP rate will be 12x on live.
Drop/Spoil rates are still in testing period, so we can't reveal them as there is nothing to reveal. Same for quest rates. Not all quests are going to have the same drop/amount rate, once all of them are thoroughly tested, we'll put that up.
About dualbox and buff time ? Dualbox = only Main+Box and Buff time = retail.
And now the live date *drum roll* 13th of July!
