Do you think that a dying era is coming for private servers with the GoD launch?

    • Yes, with no donations, easy exp and no bugs there is no reason not to play in GoD.

    • No, private servers have their own magic. Love bugs, donations and overpower.

To be fair only few private servers are populated with a average of 1-2k people.

The rest are only fail servers and crappy servers.

And if the Lineage 2 Official will be free i have to admit that the fail servers will dissapear for sure.

Most of them , but Innova's west server will not be so populated as NCSoft's since in the west server to join some instances you need to pay.

Despite the fact that it seems easy to reach level 40 or so on official server, its gonna be a struggle to reach max level 99 as the game progresses. I am sure people will still prefer private servers with easier gameplay. Right now though theres no reason for private low rates to exist.

official free=private free fail home made hosted servers may die

Good hosted servers with experienced people who got gameplay & programming experience will never die. So it depends for what kind of server someone wants to join. For example I don't like overcrawded servers I am loosing my sense.

I think private servers wont die...

 

There are people that just dont have the time to play on a x1 server or that just dont want to :p.

I personally also prefer pvp above pve... so I prefer atleast a midrate or higher. So I think if you got a bit good private server you dont have to worry a lot about the fact that official became free. Ofcourse private lowrate servers will get a beat i guess ^^ Lowrate private servers got bugs etc while official got none or alteast not that many and everything works, so better to play x1 on official then let us say x1/5 on private server.

 

My thought :p

its easy to notice the amount of ppl who have moved from private servers to official (came back to official with this after playing in priv servers and leaving L2 for a year or 2) it can be seen by lenguages and way of playing of some people, even names sometimes lol..

    • For upcoming changes, You should consider making those 3 tabs (or whatever more You will have with new games) more visible and standing out, because right it looks like all topics hidden under those 3 tabs.
    • While not particularly active over the years, I've been around for as long as I could remember, so here are my 2 cents too. On top of what has already been said, I'd like to touch on a few thing that might be improved upon. While it is easy to notice and say "there's lack of engagement" or "community has outgrown the ganre", I've seen numerous forums get forgotten and die while others continue to thrive to this day. The main issue, in my humble opinion, is that the sector has been commercialised to an unsustainable extent. When nobody is willing to share anything, even if it is just a rework of an open-sourced or already-shared resource, the sense of "community" gets deminished. Now back on the pressing matter. From what I've seen, the lack of engagement could be circumvented with a redesign and functionality expansion that would/could/should include: - a built-in chat functionality. - incentives for engagement/interaction, ideas of which I'll list as separate pointers, as not to limit your creativity. But just as an example, from a more user/human perspective, having an easily identifiable way to get into "the club of the cool kids on the block", figuratively speaking, is an incentive on its own. - separation of the reputation into reactions and reputation. One to be used to posts, such as up-vote and what not, while the other to be awarded as means of appreciation. - automated ranks with actual benefits/perks, not like the current ones providing nothing. - the ability to hide text for user/group of users, not just premium/no premium. - increased visibility of the HOT topics and the RECENTLY ACTIVE threads/posts. Can be also expanded to most liked posts, etc. ps.: I'll update my post when I have some free time on my hands.
    • There was no way I didn't refunded or delivered files. I don't see You on my conrtact list on Discord, can You send me a message or at least tell me for what project was this updater? I always resolve if I can't deliver on time or customer bailes.
    • @rlfem123  I’m a web developer, and I work with technologies like Next.js and React. In the last 10 years, L2 Rankzone is the only one I’ve seen that actually did something different. All the others seem to have the same source code with different templates. L2 Hopzone also did an upgrade and, for the front end, is using Vue.js. Regarding web development, we have reached a point where you can easily create websites using libraries or frameworks. Simply pick one and start working. You will learn as you go. Personally, I prefer to build my back-end APIs in Laravel if it’s a big project since the ecosystem offers everything. For smaller projects, I choose Go. Then I use either React or Next.js to call my APIs, depending on the case. Next.js also supports Server-Side Rendering (SSR) if you want to hide some things from the client. Additionally, CSS libraries have almost everything you need nowadays to start building quickly with browser compatibility. You can seriously build an L2 website with ranks, a good design, and even a simple login/register system in just 3 days. Here are some CSS libraries I personally work with: https://tailwindui.com/components   https://ui.shadcn.com/   https://mui.com/material-ui/ Regarding the top websites i dont thing its worth the time and effort.  Its pretty simple to build one and the market is already bloated. In addition l2 is dying so i suggest to build top sites for many games.  THe main problem is not the build process rather the marketing one. You can build the most awesome website iin terms of functionality but if you marketing is week you wont exceed 10 concurrent users.
