L2Inviction Interlude (25X) [OFF]

[Inviction]

Yesterday I signed the contract for the servers co-location. Just need them to provision the space and get back to me than I'll go put it in its new home. Most likely Monday  ;D

 

NOTE: We are going to go just straight Interlude. After a couple days of doing test upgrades between our Interlude files and HB files the problems are just too many. While I really wanted to bring a server that allowed people to play through the Evolution of L2 at this time it is just not possible. So we will start and stay Interlude. The rates will stay X25 I will update later today with a more complete feature list.

 

Features

 

Chronicle: Interlude (OFF)

Anti Bot: Full protection against every known bot.

Anti Hack/Dupe protection: Complete trade system rewrite to kill all know dupes.

DDOS Protection: Server hosted on DDOS protected network.

 

Spirit System: Spirit system allows players to collect spirits during PvP. Each time player kills someone in PvP who match requirements specified (min level and diff level range), he collects 1 spirit, player who died in that PvP will lose 1 spirit (if he had more than 0 spirits). Collected spirits can be used to instant restore hp/cp/mp with special Release Spirit skill.  Player will acquire skill automatically when he'll get minimum required level. (more info later)

 

Town Buffer: There will be a Town Buffer that gives players basic buffs (no 3rd class).

 

GM Shop: You will be able to purchase Agrade Amour and weapons+SA in the GMShop. (It won't be cheap).

 

Misc: Epic spawn times windows are set to 4 hours. For ex. For example, Baium spawns every 5 days + 0 to 4 hours. This means he will spawn between 5 days and 5 days and 4 hours since he last died.

 

Server Hardware (Server is owned by me, not rented)

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.

 

 

 

Server Network

High quality network. The fastest routes.

100% network uptime guarantee

 

On iWeb's high quality network, the outgoing traffic travels via Tata Communications (formerly Teleglobe), Videotron, Peer1,TorIX, Level 3 and Deutsche Telekom using the shortest route. For inbound traffic, all available providers are used, Tata Communications, Videotron, Peer1,TorIX, Level 3, Deutsche Telekom and Cogent. During an outage affecting a high quality network provider, the unmetered network can be used to ensure service availability. All this in order to ensure 100% uptime of the network access and prevent saturation of certain access links.

Donations Here is what we have decided on so far.

 

AIOs: They will be available for $50 CDN. They must stay in town at all times. Any AIOs caught out of town will be deleted. They will be easily visible with a Green Name. Buffs will last 40 minutes.

 

Noblesse: You will be able to donate for this but to complete it you will need Barakiel. $35 CDN

 

SubClass: You will be able to donate for this. $35 CDN

 

VIP System: VIPs will have the following benefits- 30X xp, 30X sp, 30x Drop and Spoil, VIP Chat Ingame, and slightly increased chance for enchant success (base 5%), ability to login when server is full. $100 CDN (Lifetime and per account)

 

Package Deals

 

Royale With Cheese: AIO + SubClass +  Noblesse $120 dollar value for $95 CDN

 

Big Love: AIO + Subclass + Noblesse + VIP $220 Value for $180

 

 

These are subject to change at anytime before we open. If you have any ideas and or opinions about the severs please feel free to post. I understand that some people may not agree with these donations. Unfortunately it is impossible to make everybody happy. These donations we feel make things a little easier for people but not enough to cause an imbalance and make things unfair for those that do not donate.

 

DualBox of course is allowed for the purpose of using the AIOs. 1rst, second, and 3rd class quests will be free. There will be a NPC buffer in town that gives all basic buffs (No 3rd class buffs). Please tell your friends about us!! the most important thing for a fun server is the community. Help us spread the word!

 

I will post more updates as they come.

What exactly do you mean by interlude->>>Freya? It isnt decided yet in which chronicle it will run?

Although it look preety good.

[Inviction]

It means the server will start out as Interlude and than every month update to the next chronicle until we hit Freya :)

[Otepac]

Well i dont really get it, interlude endgame on 25-35x rates can be reached in 2 weeks max even by those who are not that good with the game, will you be updating chronicles that fast?

I would also like to know if you are going to promote "retail" game play without gmshop and npc buffers or will you be adding those too? Anyways im still looking forward to a quality mid-rate "retail" like server with good population, no matter the chronicle.

[Inviction]

The exact amount of time for updating chronicles has not been 100% set we are still thinking on it :) As for "retail" style play, yes and no. One of the things I realized after Insomnia was people do not have the time to play L2 these days, or they are bored of grinding. We are going to try and keep the "feel" of the game but there will be some things introduced to make things easier for those with little time.

 

AIOs- Usually I would not have these in a server but they will be available on Inviction but must not leave town. Buffs will most likely be set to 40 minutes. This simplifies leveling greatly but "buff" type support will still be needed for those that like to play it (seiges and epics).

 

NPC Buffer- There will be a NPC Buffer with basic buffs that also last 40 minutes.

 

Quests- 1-3rd will be free. Subclass might be buyable for adena (baium will still be needed). Subclass will need to be completed through quest.

 

There will be nothing else custom except AIO and NPC buffer.

Keep it only for Interlude,if you make updates that means new start for every player so they'll get bored starting from the zero.

[Inviction]

No the updates will not mean a wipe everytime. Everybodys accounts, chars, items stay through all updates.

 

[Reptant_]

(baium will still be needed). Subclass will need to be completed through quest.

 

 

I would go to exact opposite, everything else except baium required :P

[Inviction]

Well reason would like to do it that way is it's a big source of mass PvP :P

lol stop leaving!

Looks good, but that AIO feature isnt so good in my opinion, you should ask the people with a pool or something...

And about dualbox?

 

Good luck :D

If you used a poll it would end up a 5000000x l2j server with +65535 customs.

 

AIO means more revenue and can ensure donations get steered away from items / game changing stuff. People usually sell buffs with them anyhow.

Server goes to the datacenter in a few days. I just received it last week from the DC I had it in the US. Feels weird to have it in my hands known how many thousands have played and spent so much time on it  :)

 

Heres a Pic...pretty boring looking for how much fun it generates :D

Needs more glitter and diamonds, then it would be one in a million, neighbor.
