Hello, I would be greatful if you tell me what server is/was REALLY UNIQUE.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

PS; If you can't find any info for this server, just tell what is/was the UNIQUE thing.

L2Dreams 50x when it was Gracia Final/Epilogue (everything single feature of it was tottaly perfect, especially the rebirth system/tattos (pretty balanced) + events and the top manager of each event and the a grade olympiad system ,oh)

L2Atlantis 1000x when it was Hellbound/Gracia Final/Epilogue (not good as dreams but i felt like home here, especially that it was pretty populated for a ro server, nice pvps, nice olympiad xD, sux balance though lol)

Didn't personally play Echo. But I heard loads of stuff about it. Apparently one of the most respected faction servers.

 

Pandora is down, but for the time it was up, it had many unique features that are just too many to list. Gameplay specific - they had a faction version which offered persistence outside of events. Neighboring lands would be fought over and a push-pull fight but it was still relatively open world.

 

After that they tried DoTA/FPS style gameplay where they had an engine to make instanced rooms with particular gametype (TvT/CTF/KOTH) for ~18 players. So you could make clan fights, fights with friends, etc. You could arrange fights with players of your own level, if you saw how FPS room/servers work like you could probably see the benefits.

 

Infinitel2 is 24/7 PvP. Not much to say. It WAS good. Now it's mostly carebear. Ignoring that it's unarguable that the quantity and duration of PvP on that server could rival the sumation of several lowrates in their whole life time. It's faction as well but its layed out well. It's a long story so you are welcome to see for yourself. I warn you, it really has become carebear.

 

SkirmishPvP also plays like FPS but no faction. The benefit is no commitment. You don't have to go to sleep feeling guilty that the guys who play more than you will be far ahead. You don't have to cry over lost raidbosses. You log in, make a char and it takes 3 mins to set up - most stuff are instant. Instant attribute, instant skill enchants, etc.

 

Lacks persistence and actual motive to PvP and it may show even further as the server progresses and players will be divided by timezones.

 

The uniqueness of these is that they move away from the MMO grind progression and bring you towards the actual MMO combat. You don't have to spend 6 weeks getting levels, then 2 weeks getting PvP gear, then by 9th week realize that its pretty dead and pointless as many server nowadays turn out.

Eckokinetics/pandora/infinite l2 were great factions servers, not like the sht you see now.

 

Skirmish has a good concept but it's not done yet.

 

Oh man... Echokinetics GvE. Probably the only pvp server I REALLY enjoyed playing along with Infinity Skills C4 (Peace zones off every 1 hour for 10 minutes and a winner announced when the peace zone status was back)

L2 OFF L2 Extreme 10k online.

it was 50k online on both 4 gameservers and FBI closed it because NcSoft claimed that this server made them lose 3 million dollars per year

Official.

not even close to unique

Official is what Lineage 2 is meant to be. You cannot call it unique or common, because it's what every modified private server was based on. Retail is a category on its own.

    • First, don't really follow the "main voice", moreover if you consider it an hobby. Simply do what you want, you got only one life so use it as you want. If you make it an hobby, it's exactly like piano, or velo - only practice makes you better.   Secondly, how do you learn things ? It's actually a really important question, since some can simply be scholar, read books (theory) then practice ; and some simply can't read books. I'm the second type, I hated school, I find it boring - my knowledge in Java comes from try-and-fail. You improve your coding style every year or so, I can myself rewrite my own code (which I already considered top-notched) after a while. You always learn something new - even if Java barely evolves. L2J is a fun way to learn programming, it's a giant sandbox where you can edit anything, and I believe it should be taken as it.   My own way of learning was as follow : Add existing customs, no matter what they are : the point is to know main classes used by L2J / customs. L2J is barely Java knowledge ; the true knowledge is to know WHAT to search in WHICH location (what I call, organization). You have to understand than EVERYTHING you think already exists, in a form on another, in the source code. A custom is only the association of the different mechanisms you found "here and there", glued together in a proper goal. Once you know main classes to edit, and the customs you added are compiling fine, the main point is to know WHAT exactly you DID. Try to understand WHY and WHERE you actually copied the code. Third point would be to MANIPULATE the customs you added in order to fit your wish. First edit little values, then logic conditions ; eventually add a new Config, or a new functionality to the custom. Fourth point would be to begin to craft your own ideas. Once again, EVERYTHING already exists, in a form or another. You want a cycled event ? You got Seven Signs main task as exemple. Npc ? Search any type of Npc and figure out what it does. Fifth point would be to understand Java - mostly containers (WHAT and WHERE to use them), variables types and main Java mechanisms (inheritance, static modifier, etc). You should also begin to cut your code into maintainable classes or methods. Java can actually run without optimization, but bigger your ideas, more optimized and well-thought it should be. It's direct saved time in the future, and you would thank yourself doing so. Main tips : ALWAYS use any type of versioning system - GIT or SVN. It allows to save your work, step by step and eventually revert back anytime you want if you terribly messed up. L2J is 80% organization knowledge, and 20% Java knowledge. Basically, if you know WHAT and WHERE to search, if you aren't dumb, it's easy to replicate and re-use things. Cherry on top is to use a already good coded pack to avoid copy-paste crap and get bad habits. Avoid any type of russian or brazilian packs, for exemple - their best ability is to leak someone's else code. Obviously you need some default sense of logic, but Java and programming in general help you to improve it.   Finally, most of your questions could be solved joining related Discord (at least for aCis, I can't speak for others) - from the moment your question was correctly asked (and you seemed to search for the answer). My community (and myself) welcomes newbies, but got some issues with noobies.   The simpliest is to try, fail and repeat until you succeed - it sounds stupid, but that's basically how life works.   PS : about Java ressources, before ChatGPT, it was mostly about stackoverflow website, and site like Baeldung's one. With ChatGPT and alike, you generally double-cross AI output to avoid fucked up answers. Also, care about AI, they are often hallucinating really hard, even today. They can give you complete wrong answer, you tell them they are wrong, and they say "indeed, I suck, sorry - here's a new fucked up answer". You shouldn't 100% rely over AI answer, even if that can give sometimes legit answers, full code or just skeletons of ideas.   PPS : I don't think there are reliable ressources regarding L2J itself, also most of the proposed code decays pretty fast if the source code is actually maintained (at least for aCis). Still, old coded customs for old aCis sources are actually a good beginner challenge to apply on latest source.
