1015 players in the first 5 minutes. Noobie zones are looking fun :)

Pedo Bear= old L2 Joke :)

After months of work and a good beta we are going live! it has been a amazing journey so far. The community has exploded and currently has 3400 members and we expect that number to get much larger once the server goes live and people have to make accounts to make a game account. Live should be packed.

Our staff has grown a bit. We keep a small but very tight knit team. Please have a look at our staff page if you are curious.

Server Information

Chronicle- C5 (Oath Of Blood)

5x xp

5x sp

5x Adena

5x Drop (chance)

3x Quest item (chance)

5x Spoil (amount)

1x Epics

Protection

The client protection is top notch and afaik has never been bypassed. There will be no bots. It also blocks dual-boxing even if you use sandbox or vm.

Server Hardware

The server is bought and paid for, there is no rentals here. I did this so I could afford to put the server on a real ddos protected network (not cheap). More about the ddos protection farther down.

Server Specs-

2x Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212s

2x SAS 15k RPM, 73GB HDDs

12 GB RAM, DDR2 667 MHZ

The server will hold 3k players with no lag.

The server is located in the USA and we are using Internap as our carrier now. For those that don't know about Internap they are one of the largest and higest quality carriers in the world and the same carrier that NCSoft uses on their servers. We changed to Internap after some Euros  were having lag issues and we found some of the problem was with our old carrier.

DDOS Protection

The main reason many of the bigger servers are closing or being forcibly closed is ddos attacks. Unfortunately it is a reality of the L2 Private server community. Not many servers are investing in ddos protection and most of those that do are being tricked. Many datacenters offer ddos protection but it is false advertising. A Firebox, Cisco router, or software ddos protection may work against small non-flood type attacks, but they all fail against large flood attacks. Those attacks are what is being used to shutdown so many large servers.

I contacted over 100 Datacenters all over the world over the course of 2 weeks not too mention did a huge amount of research. **FACT** If the protection offered is not network wide and based off Arbor Peak Flow/Analysis and Top Layer technology...it is BS! We are hosted on one of these networks..shielded and fed clean traffic by the best ddos protection/mitigation in the world. Expensive? Yes...but if your going to do something do it well, right?

I would like to thank the community for all they have done in helping us grow as a community. All our hardwork was to give the community a fun, longterm, secure, stable server. We hope you enjoy it!!

Here is the site http://www.l2insomnia.com

Any way you look at it things are looking great and it should be alot of fun....people get so caught up in flaming and politics sometimes they forget the bottom line...fun!

I wouldn't waste your time tbh...just play normal :)

2k on start...after 2 month's will be 400-500 players...FAIL SERVER FOR SHO

Made me lol..ty :D

I loled greatly at that! You made my day :D

Exact time for Open beta has been released and the client+installer+updater have been released. Check the site :)

I agree it is mainly about the community. But have a look at our forums to see how the community is doing, going to be a blast :D

yeh I am gonna check that server too

You better or i'm going to haxx your microwave and make it eat your cat. Client will be available very soon to all those ppl spamming me about it :P

Honestly I keep very good track of our SEO and advertising and at this point I do not believe we need anymore topsites. I only added us to one and didn't even want to do that. I do not like what vote sites represent and how they have been monetized. Your site I'm guessing?

Community is exploding live is going to be epic.....about all I can say at this point.
