On my previous server in every olympiad period end i was loosing at least 10-20 players. I dont think Olympiad Games should be enabled on small servers. I think its better suited for very high population servers. Thats why i want to remove the hero status and turn Oly into a mini 1vs1 event thing, with cool rewards etc. I am also a fun of low enchant limits, but this time i want to use a bit higher ones for a change.

you mean instead of hitting f1 you hit 1?

There are current good servers, however they are overshadowed by servers that buy votes and ranks or have the means to ddos you. There were instances where servers with less than 100 players were in the top 10 of topsites while servers with over 100 players were in the second and third pages.

this.

I dont think we feel nostalgia because a server had certain features. We mostly miss the good times we had with our friends and clanmates. I for example around when hellbound came about it was the last time i ever played lineage2 with my real life friends. After that they stopped playing l2 and i slowly moved into developing. I miss those times because the people were great.

First of all i should make clear that this topic is meant to be for both advertising and feedback (mostly i need feedback right now). I am trying to make a fun & unique server by removing and changing some aspects of the game. Mostly i revert a lot of things to the condition they were when lineage 2 was in the hellbound & epilogue era. (and even in C4) To cut to the point here is what make my server different from any other high five pvp server. Its quite the risk because i have asked several people that did something similar in the recent past and they all told me it wont work. Anyway since i have nothing to loose i though i will give it a try. Lets start. Maximum Armors Dynasty - Maximum Weapons Icarus. Why? :y u no?: Because i loved when these were the top items in Hellbound. Also Dynasty is the best looking armor of all, even elegia wich is the same design sux in comparison. Also Dynasty Armors have a big variety in different armor types wich makes them more versatile. High Five Skills Disabled. Why? :y u no?: Because i have seen people hating them, i hate some of them too especially the rush & rush impact skills on some classes. Maximum Level for main class and subclasses 80. Why? :y u no?: Because most of the things i explained above wont work if there isnt a level 80 limit. Also dont worry about level 81,82 and 83 forgotten scroll skills. They will all be auto learned when you hit level 80. No Olympiad Games. Why? :y u no?: :alone: :( :'( Because in high rate and pvp servers when the Olympiad Period is over everyone leaves the server wether they got hero status or not. I still quite dont understand why that happens. Most likely i will allow Olympiad Games but when the period is over nobody will be taking the Hero Status and skills. It will work like a mini pvp event thing with cool rewards for the winners. No Attribute System. Why? :y u no?: Because in high five it has become useless. Its just another reason for people to grind and waste valuable pvp time. Normal scrolls chance: 60% | Blessed scrolls chance: 100% | Max all items +15 | Safe +5. Normal scrolls with 60% chance will be sold for adena in the GM Shop making them available to everybody. Blessed Scrolls with 100% chance will be obtainable only by Events wether is the mini events based around the olympiad games or the standard TvT event engine. Why? :y u no?: I guess things like that are the way they are you know. You still have a chance to reach maximum enchant on your own, but if you want to cut cornerns you must become active in community events such as the tvt and mini pvp events. Some of the things above is still work in progress but you get the gist. My question now is, would a server like that interest you? Please complaint,flame etc. I want my topic bumped anyway. :troll:

You should know that l2off h5 files are hard to come by, its not like everyone has 5k+ euro to get the files.

The instant pvp server is online as promised yesterday. Some npcs are missing but they will be added in the next days. To buy items talk with Mr. Cat & Miss Queen. The server will go Live around Late August/Early September.

Sorry mate i dont want to make h5 more unbalanced than it allready is.

yea but it will reduce it even just a bit. You can even make it so players see each other as different races etc. Also imagine how much effort they should put into bringing the people in the chat talking over it etc.

What about hidding the character names during olympiad games? not allowing chat and other interactive actions, wouldnt that reduce the feeding?

even a toddler can make a server these days and be gm on his home pc, so it will be pointless.

The Open Beta period has begun, i hope to see you guys ingame.

Actually is close enough, for example we dont have any special farming zone, players are free to go wherever they think its best if they want to farm adena.

If you run clean l2jserver without massive mods, its as stable as any l2off server. The problem with l2j is that its still missing some mechanics & features. Also. Stable means: no console errors (clean code), no crashes, optimal performance under stress etc. Stable doesnt mean: that everything is 100% complete skill,npc,formulas,quests/instances/mobs/raids wise. I though this should be made clear.

Interlude is not so good for low rates. Gracia Final and above is more suitable since it gives more benefits to low level players.

forum seems like its being raped by ads.

Wow, that a very mature response... :dat:

Just a heads up, i might have to move the open beta back a few days. Nothing serious just some schedule conflicts. Will post new date on the 9th.

i liked c5, because it had a darker feel to it.

yes you can, the high five server will be online until its replaced by the interlude server.

High Five until the switch to Interlude.

FYI: Some of you may be worried that tyrant totems, fist fury and stuff like that will be stuckable, but they arent so far. Those kind of things work only if you are equiped with fist weapons.
