@Mr_Zero- I completely agree with you.
There are servers that are trying and probably managed to create a new server area. Each chronicle has its pros and cons and this is the only way to go beyond certain limits - a customized version of the game.
Most private server communities prefer the gameplay on Interlude and High Five and why not mix the chronicles instead, using the latest chronicle that can provide endless features.
@Xtellia- The most disgusting thing I've seen in recent years is Interlude with a customized interface and other features implemented that makes it feel and look like shit. Interlude is not meant to be customized.
@splicho- The term "reworked" is really exaggerated (for some) and this makes some tremble. Sometimes we have to break our ego and not just jump with hate because one word means something else.
For example, the idea behind the lineage2.gold project was to try to get the players to let the interlude go. And, in my opinion, the best option was to offer them a gameplay similar to Interlude (at least the skill-tree). I am driven by the players - their opinion matters a lot to me. Another thing, players can't donate for weapons, armors or jewelry. Even if the server has customized items, every time there's a new season, I'm trying to delay the customized items as much as possible, so we can have s-grade items for longer > YouTube.
I wish I could do one "reworked" server myself but I don't have enough time for that, and no team, at the moment I'm one-man-army, which is not easy.
I'm occasionally reading other servers' change logs - great stuff. Definitely something to look into.
