What's difference between each for you?

 

Would you try something completely custom just for fun? Not armor/weapons/items. Completely custom gameplay. Imagine an arcade PvP game.

 

Why care for "normal l2"? There are loads of "no custom" L2 interlude servers, see any difference between them? Do you play any of them? Which ones do you like?

What if the normal server doesn't get enough players, do you still look for a server of the same type?

 

 

Looking for opinions.

If you gotta an active/experienced dev team,you should give a shot to custom server if you 'll balance every custom.

on the other hand,if you are not so experienced in balancing items/armors/accessories you should not risk it,it may be fatal.

No custom!!!!...but if you add try not put op stats at custom...add a little more than the other :)

Not what I am saying. I wouldn't add custom equipment to "normal" L2.

 

I'd rather make completely different game. L2 sources allow for high customization. Game would be different.

 

I am asking would you play a something that looks like L2, uses L2 client, but doesn't have Doombringers, necromancers, sorcerers, etc.

 

If not, why no? Why chose "real" L2 servers which have 20 players and die in a week than to try something different. At least then everyone learns from it if you say you don't like it.

Because every single Complete Custom Makeover server in the "GOOD DAYS" had 20 players.

 

What will they have now?

20 players with no grind and some random fun.

 

Remember L2luna? farming from 1 to 20 was days. Then skills no one knew what they did.

 

Im not saying lets play Lineage 2 and Obama's magic orb of space wizardry.

Your most complicated skill in the skill tree would be /attack. Lol.

 

Hypothetically.

I'm not saying it can't be done, and can't be done well both aestheticly(luna) and metagameplay balanced/fun(not luna).

 

But problem would be players are dumb whiners who say one thing but mean another.

..and therefor won't play.

i am creating something like this but i am afraid that if i will add custom skill to for example sword singer, players will be like: "omg, custom shit, gtfo" even if it iwll be balanced and far better than server where nobody plays this class

    • “Hello, I’d like to present a short description of the server. Everyone starts equally at max level 80. The server includes a custom buffer, custom class master, custom weapons and armors, custom zones, custom teleporter, custom raid bosses, and much more. I’ll leave a link in the description for those who want to see how everything looks inside. The server is only open on weekends, and you can find more news via the Facebook link.”   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578869175323
    • 1. You where subscriber 3 years ago. 2. There is no current L2jMobius 2.8 Seven Signs version. Subcriber or not. 3. You have your answer from multiple forums that more items is more delay.  
    • 1. Optimize Packet Serialization Look in ItemList.java or wherever the inventory packet is constructed. Instead of building the packet with inefficient string concatenation or repeated allocations, use a preallocated buffer and avoid creating new objects for each item. Mobius sources are Java-based, so profiling with something like VisualVM or YourKit can help see where most time is spent. 2. Avoid Sending the Full List Each Time Modify the server to send only changed items (diff packets) when the inventory window opens. Some newer forks implement this as “lazy loading” or paged inventory so the client only loads e.g. 100 items at a time. 3. Limit the Inventory Size Per Page Instead of showing all 500 slots at once, split the inventory into pages/tabs (100 slots each). When the user switches a tab, send only that page’s items. This requires some client-side editing, but it’s the most user-friendly long-term fix. 4. Database & Cache Optimizations Ensure your items table is indexed by owner_id to make the query for player items fast. Cache item templates and static data so they are not reloaded every time the inventory is shown. ⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind Increasing slots from 80 → 500 does not just change a number — it multiplies the workload for packet building and UI rendering. You can’t fully avoid some extra cost with 500 items, but you can keep it under a few milliseconds if you optimize how and when the data is sent.    
    • i think it's the auto sorting of the interface that sucks, check InventoryWnd script in interface.u, or completely disable the request item list packet when toggling the inventory window (also in InventoryWnd script or similar name)
