Snip.

I have indeed played infinitel2 and do remember War Manager 1v1/2v2/etc

They locked it down to particular time slots to prevent feeding. It was max 3 hours per day in 3 installments just so that GMs could babysit it.

 

It became very unpopular quickly.

 

Good luck with your pack anyway.

i wouldn't recommend to make a faction server and the reasons are the following:

 

[*]More Time to develop that kind of servers

[*]There are alot of faction servers just like InfiniteL2

 

On the other side if you think you're sure to start a project like this one go on and good luck..

http://www.scryde.eu/ Take a look at this , on their last wipe when i played it had like 500 ppl or more the first MINUTES. Sadly it died cuz we abused some bugs with adena. That means ppl  like faction servers so its a good idea to make one , just dont choose a prehistorical client only greeks will play

Well Mr Bleadd,  i'm not a developer or so. But i've been playing for quite a long time now

 

Developing a faction server now would be a great idea, i've never found another one like Infinitel2, it was like... the only way to experience real pvp on a private server.

Even tho sometimes it was hard cause they were about 15 players with B grade and another 50 players with full gear. about the economy, i was the the kind of player who hates to craft and spoil thingies, so i made my money playing on the 1v1, 2v2 (the bracket system was awesome, perfectly balanced), but after 2 wipes when they added S and S80 items things were alot different, no one joined the 1v1 events, it was quite difficult to participate in the KOTH or capture the flag, because of the people full S80, took me forever to get in A grade gear.

 

So my suggestion would be, to take as long as you need to develop the server, and remember the little things that people enjoyed from the old infinitel2. Honestly i don't like having S80 and S84 items on a faction server, makes it quite unbalanced, but then again not all the people thinks like i do, so to keep everyone happy, make it with seasons, of 2-3 months, and in each new season, unblock new weapons and sets, S then S80, and so on... and in the last one unblock rb jewels, pvp belts, and etc.

 

Good luck mate =) (Think about all the people who liked infinitel2 and doesn't know about MxC or this post.)

About the 2nd point:

Could you tell me a faction server currently on and alive like InfiniteL2 not  crap-interlude?

There is no faction server which functions under the same mechanisms as InfiniteL2. There are that share the theme, but that's it.

 

The closest there was was the one MiDnEx made a while ago.

 

I don't think there should be.

 

There were fundamental flaws on InfiniteL2: adena/exp per kill; stereotypical balance - archers end game > mages; small incentive to play support; no incentive to win the event; some minigames are better than others - dodgeball > elimination. Zombies needed low lag, lvling, debuffs, few others that are a long story...

Dunno why people get that impression...

 

Chronicle X =/= X balance.

 

Java is highly interchangeable.

 

Nuker/Archer imbalance is a fundamental flaw related to how magical and physical damage is calculated.

 

At high levels and high numbers of matk/patk an increment of patk > matk. Because matk is square rooted. Physical crits are compound.

 

Who ever designed those formulas did not consider the hypothetical increase to infinity. So you get sht like this. Low level mages > low level archers. High level archers > high level mages.

 

Also the stupid standard of 28 buffs. Buffs favor physical and physical crit dmg more than magic. Yet every PvP server insists on having every buff available on a character. Dumb crap.

 

Redo scaling - problem fixed. Just do it smart...

Introduce task manager for MultiSpawn spawn schedule. Introduce task managers for Npc respawn and despawn tasks. Add missing random treasurebox maker. NpcAi / Desires AttackableAttack > NpcAttack, allowing ATTACK_FINISHED event over Npc. Merge all reduceWeight from NpcAI operations. Don't broadcast MoveToPawn packet for cast hold scenarii. CH and CP managers use hold cast. Probably way more to add. Rework DesireQueue#addOrUpdate to avoid to generate a List. Drop _isInHitAnimation, avoid twice runAI calls upon attack end animation, save a ThreadPool. Implement Desire#isInvalid, used over the main loop to clean invalid Desires. All sided getDesires().removeIf are dropped, notably over AggroList/HateList. Cursed Weapon rework Fix potential task scheduling issues, reworking the whole layers. Reduce code by 1/3. Use L2OFF formulas/data for item drop rate, staging process. CW end duration now decreases when killing other Players. Bugfixes Revert schedule part from ThreadPool. Fix Pet inventory IU. Ty Denzel for the report. Fix Pet item timestamp reuse delay. Ty artemis for the fix. Disable automatic beastshots when his owner dies. Ty Root for the report. Player cannot craft while casting a skill, nor trade. Ty Root for the report. Add missing weight checks for player/summon pickup, and player craft. Ty Root for the report. Implement /graduatelist command, which displays a list of clan academy graduates for the past week. Ty RooT for the report. Fix PLAYING_FOR_LONG_TIME concept ; rest message is server related, not Player related. Ty RooT for the report. Player should stop movement when opening store. Fix Q351 occurences of itemId 4310 by 4407 one + slight fix. Fix Q365 missing memoState + poison skillId. Ty Root for the report. Fix Q417 Torai despawn over cond 11. Fix Q216 4 missing npcIds. Ty Karudin for the report. Fix the invalid comment of DeleteCharAfterDays Config. Fix NPC drop penalty level calculation. Ty Bandnentans for the report. Items are now dropped in a 30/45 donut shape around dropper. Ty Bandnentans for the report. PartyMatch fixes Don't show Party members or CW holder as available waiting members. You can't show overall List or join a PartyMatch room as CW holder. CW owner, upon acquisition, leave PartyMatch system. PartyMatch window is now automatically closed upon Player#removeMeFromPartyMatch. Remove Player from PartyMatch if Player and newly joined Party leader PartyMatch rooms differ. You can't join or be invited in a PartyMatch room if already partying/CW holding. Fix ShowLicence config when set to false. Ty artemis for the fix. Fix maximum number of macros. Ty artemis for the fix. Fix invalid IU update over //enchant. Ty artemis for the fix. Fix Castle Mass Gatekeeper HTMs. Ty kingNik0n for the fix. Drop _disabledItems implementation. Won't be used by next refactors. Ty artemis for the report. Fix loading handlers under debug. Ty Keku for the fix. Fix character_macroses table structure (commands = 12x32 chars minimum). Admincommands Merge all old spawn admincommands (//list_spawns, //spawn, //unspawnall, //respawnall, //delete) to //spawn and //unspawn (previously //delete). Generate //help. //unspawn works over all ASpawn. Merge all old fence admincommands (//spawnfence, //deletefence, //listfence) to //fence [add|remove], generate AdminFence. They now use proper Pagination. You can also teleport to it. Implementation of //show manor. Implementation of //set quest <id> [cond]. Related items must be hand-given. Implementation of //set henna [page] [add|remove symbolId]. The hennas are still bound to game logic (slots, canBeUsedBy). Movement - Ty LaRoja, Bandnentans Fix Boats IOOBE. Adapt getHeight logic from L2OFF. Introduce back WASD movement, handle boat board/unboard. Fix WATER/FLY movement logic. Avoid to pathfind diagonal cells with detected obstacle. Organization Addition of QuestVars class, holding all related variables from quests (itemIds, npcIds, questNames, sounds, etc), allowing to reduce length of each script while reusing variables. 100+ cloned variables were deleted. Refactor geometry package and Territory. Territory is now a unique 3D shape, holding any type of 2D geometry.  Remove few useless Location#clone uses. Implementation of ItemContainer#forEachItem. Clean many unused FrequentSkill. The whole enum is questionable. Drop MathUtil#checkIfInRange, implement WorldObject#isInStrictRadius (involve collision of that WorldObject, and potential WorldObject parameter). WorldObject#isIn2DRadius parameter is now a Point2D, not a Location (since a Location inherits Point2D, Location are still usable as parameter). Rework Pagination#generatePages to handle page number > 1000. Use Pagination over Tryskell SchemeBuffer. Ty CUCU23 for the share.
    • It's a custom instance used as Event not retail - like. You can re-create it easily.
