why?

 

 

You need to research a little, before you buy something.

 

OVH have the cheapest prices of the market, but they lack support, their network is not stable, their bandwidth is not premium (It doesn't have first priority on backbone, neither have the best latency, although it is not that bad).

 

However, If you don't have the budget for anything better, go for it, there won't be anything else possible... But in fact, OVH shouldn't be considered for any serious projects, try to find any mid sized company, that uses OVH Servers in production, and you will not find many of them, you can find starters, because it is cheap, but once you need something 'serious', you have to move.

 

So, don't expect 'players' to accept problems because they will not. If you can do better, then take your opportunity to do it in first time.

bro l2tales.com l2world.org all host in ovh you tell me its not serious ?

 

You are trying to convince me a private server, that doesn't even have the ownership rights for the game they are running are a serious project ?

 

You must be kidding.

 

I am speaking about legit companies, that does exist in the commerce chamber of their countries, pay their fees and employ people, not about a game server.

 

Companies which 'are serious' and want a trustable business, that won't fail in unexpected times due to bad management of the network or lack of good professionals or even fast support, will quickly avoid OVH.

 

Now back to the "Private Server / Piracy" stuff :

 

Forget L2Tales, they are not a reference, if you want at least to have some reference, you could look for example Dexternet... they have much more budget than L2Tales, have their own dedicated servers in their own datacenter (the owner of dexternet, does have its own small datacenter in romania) http://www.lineage2dex.com

 

Anyways, this is just my opinion, if you don't want to consider it, this is fine :), Go on with whatever you think will be better for you.

 

By the way, this is the 'cheap server' with 16GB you will get in OVH :

This is what you 'can get' somewhere else with a better budget and some 'experience' on what you are doing :

1) Did I told you any time, their stuff is Legit ? Read what I said again : Now back to the "Private Server / Piracy" stuff :

 

2) Yes, they do have their own datacenter, if you doubt, check their real IP addresses in RIPE database, and you will see nobody is joking here. :)

    • I have a highly customized Hi5 pack based on L2JMobius with a lot of features for performance and modern game design. Disclaimer: I do not run any public server, but I run a "private" server for a group of 10 friends and about 2000 AI bots that required me to do heavy modifications on core systems of the game.  So my opinion will obivously be biased towards L2JMobius.   What I can tell you though without bias is: Most of the features you are asking for are nowadays considered de-facto, don't pay money for them. TvT, offline mode, community boards, premiums, vote rewards are in most packs including the open source ones. So before you pay a thousand plus euro for a pack ask yourself what you are paying that money for, that open source packs don't have.   Also a lot of the "strong points" some old packs were made for are nowadays obsolete. L2JFree derived packs for example used to have a lot of GC optimizations (Trove library) which are not not maintained, but most importantly not needed cause Java has evolved a lot since then and the performance issues these tricks tried to solve back then, are currently solved by Java's JVM itself. So if someone tries to sell you packed / unpacked integers in special hashmap data structures and other such things know that they have really lost their value nowadays.    A lot of people are selling thin air, things that everyone has. "Quality geodata" being one of them. I mean what's "quality geodata" ? Has someone painted them by hand ? Hell there's an online tool for free in github that extracts quality geodata, I think Galagard made it ? In contrast I'll tell you without wanting to boast about it that I use 3D navmesh on my project because 2000 bots could not pathfind large distances on A* on geodata. As far as I know, L2JMobius has it in its subscription version too. So if I could do an acceptable transition to navmesh from geodata in a week alone, I would assume that a decent pack with dedicated developers could do it better and faster. Red flag if someone still tries to sell you geodata in 2026.   Multi-protocol support gives small value and is a high risk.   I would not go for multi-protocol support for a public server cause you are locking yourself to specific providers and the functionality they support. If you need to change (eg pricing issues), you will be locked to a handful of providers. And what are you really gaining from a new client on an old game version ? Better UI ? The engine is still the same, static targeting and menus.    Agentic AI will make old hard features easy to implement, and drop their money value. Pay for AI-proof value. And compared to what most insecure devs claim, its a very powerful tool that allows those who know how to use it to accelerate their development. So a lot of features that took in the past a lot of time and effort to be developed and were a reason to charge money, are becoming a commodity today. So think to: The thing I am paying money for right now, how easy will it be to implement in a year from now ? If for example you are paying money for a game launcher that Claude Code can generate in top 1 hour without issues, I think you are wasting money.    I want to emphasise this a lot. Software engineering is in a transition atm. Most things that were mediocre to implement, launchers, guards, CMS, are nowadays easy. Yet the dev community continues to market them as premium content. They are not, sooner or later, when everyone starts selling them, they will realize that they will have to offer value in more complex features.  Private or public ? Bottom line is that a private pack and 1000 euro wont get you a sucessful server. You're the one that make it or break it. There have been many sucessful servers both in private packs and public packs in the past. It's really on the hands of the beholder, not on the source. A pack that plays good is a good indicator to buy as Trance said, but I would disagree that it's not enough. A server owner is not a player. He's a business man and has to account for longevity, vendor lock-in, expandability, hidden costs,  amortization, price changes and many more. Don't pick a pack based on how it played only.    
    • You don’t even need to look for a ghost project. Just buy the files from a project you’ve personally tested or played. That’s a much better starting point.

    • Hello everyone, I'm looking for a High Five Java server pack for a long-term project. I'm not looking for free packs. I'm interested in purchasing a professional pack with full source code if it's worth the investment. My priorities are: Stable core Clean and well-structured source code Good geodata and AI Modern Community Board Offline Trade / Offline Craft Premium Account system Vote Reward system Auto Events (TvT, CTF, DM, etc.) HWID protection Auto Farm  Buffer / QoL systems Modern admin tools Good Olympiad & Seven Signs implementation Excellent instance support (Freya, Frintezza, Zaken, Beleth, etc.) A huge bonus would be: Multi-protocol support (High Five + newer clients such as Salvation/Classical clients) Full source code (no closed binaries) Some custom things over Elegia At the moment I'm considering packs like Sunrise and L2-Scripts, but I'd really like to hear opinions from people who have actually worked with them. If you've been running a serious High Five project, I'd appreciate your honest feedback: Which pack are you using? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Would you buy it again? Are there any better alternatives available today? I'm looking for real experience rather than advertisements. Thanks!
