    • 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.

Will not if they lay smart made some little changes, and now have free open source... almost :P

 

to be honest i already say some go to 10 population after ncwest open.

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..

    • Thank you for your feedback, SkyLord — even the negative kind.   Let me give you some context on who we actually are, since you asked. L2-Scripts has been around for nearly 20 years. Over that time, we've worked with a large number of developers — I've personally seen probably half of every serious (and not-so-serious) developer in this scene. The most significant figure in our studio's history was Bonux. Together with a small team of assistants, he was essentially the backbone of our old codebase, and we were the ones who brought virtually every chronicle to the community — Essence, Classic, Main — all of it came through us.   Back then, we worked at scale. That era is over. Today, L2-Scripts is no longer a studio in the traditional sense. It's more of a developer collective. I work alongside the best developers I've encountered in 20 years. Bonux is still with us on Classic. A new developer named Den has joined — in just 3 years he became one of the top Essence developers in the world. Every one of us works independently, but we're united by long-standing friendships and shared projects.   We no longer chase every chronicle or every client. For the past several years, we've been focused exclusively on specific long-term projects where we're paid a proper salary — and when you focus like that, with 20 years of experience behind you, the quality of what you produce is on a completely different level. Our code is currently running on nearly all top Essence and Classic servers. We're now bringing Main (Last Protocol) up to that same standard.   You mentioned Nexvil. Yes, he worked with us. That was a difficult period — the lead developer at the time was not up to the standard we hold ourselves to. It was a short period, and it's long behind us.   As for the prices — I'd ask you not to judge a product by whether you personally can afford it. That's not a fair measure of value. The people running top-tier servers understand what they're paying for. If our pricing doesn't fit your budget, that's completely fine — but downvoting a service simply because it feels expensive to you doesn't reflect well, and it certainly doesn't make the product worse.   A special thank you to eMommy and Zenith for the honest and fair words — it genuinely means a lot. It's good to know there are people in this community who judge things as they are.
    • Just because someone does professional sales doesn’t mean everything is overpriced. If the products he provides are stable and good quality, then I see nothing wrong with it, and those prices aren’t even bad. Remember, we’re living in 2026, not 10 years in the past. Your mindset is probably stuck on buying the cheapest products because maybe you can’t afford better ones. And of course, there’s always someone who likes blaming others. I think you should mind your own business instead of blaming someone for how they run theirs. If you really think his prices are too expensive, then do better than him.
    • I have to be fair here and state that almost all 'good' servers on Essence/Classic are using bonux/l2scripts files and 10k for a decent essence build imo is not that bad of a price as long as nexvil is not touching these files
