[L2Off] Substack Interlude Dragon-Network !

[zazazaza]

First of all I'm not a GM or anything just promoting the server who taught me how to play the game 7 years ago :D.

Yes alot of us were waiting for it and it finally happened!

The legendary susbstack server still alive after 10 years without wipes decided to open an Interlude server.

 

Expect 2k players ++ on launch ! here comes the infos :

 

Hello faithful and trustful players ! I must admit it was hell of a ride after so many years,thank you for being with us all this time and showing us your great
support. In this introduction I wont talk to much, will go straight to the point!
In the recent events on the Lineage 2 field, I must admit , they have created a lot , but everything goes in wrong direction in my modest opinion far from good old
Lineage vibe we all had back in those days, therefore I've came up to a  brilliant idea, which was boiling inside me for some months now. Why don't we bring back old memories and
old Lineage 2 feeling by opening totally new , fresh and players friendly epic Interlude Chronicle under one of oldest private Lineage 2 network? So ladies and gentlemans I have good news, WE WILL DO IT!
In the following lines I will try to explain you more details what you can expect on our , which I believe , unique Interlude server!

Features:

 

Stack-Sub System
*This is unique trademark originally made by Dragon-Network , I don't have to spend words about it. This is what it is, old c4 style.There will be no mutants anymore, you will be able to cross sub only with your own race, because we want to avoid overpowered combos impossible to balance too.

 

Multi Language Gameplay
*One of the unique futures never seen yet in history of private Lineage 2 servers. Play your favourite game now in 3 different languages, in same time!How to do so? It is very simple, in every starting town and every big town
there will be an NPC [Language Master Irene] by simple click options will appear , by choosing Polish, Russian or English , your game will be changed into desired language. Simple as that!
Remember that while you are playing on ENG for example, others may play at the same time in POL or RUS language without any issues. We hope to merge now all non English speaker players into 1 world now!

 

Dynamic Experience system
*Even your first question will be , "Hey what are the rates"? There is no usual fixed number of exp.We all know that leveling up fast is a good thing, yes, but doing everything so fast have many negative sides and you know what im talking about.So we came up with an idea , why don't we make things easier in the beginning and make end game to be more dramatic and harder. This is what our dynamic exp system brings!You will start game at HIGH rate but closer to final level it will end up to x1.

 

Dynamic Drop-Spoil system
*This system provides an automatic drop/spoil balancing of key items (materials) based on market quantity and players activity.
This prevent stagnation of certain items inside the market by balancing them based on the effective usage ingame made by the players.

 

Unique Protection
*Seriously , don't try it! As title says, protection versus all bad things that ruined L2 game play (l2w,c,r,...). And no its not the one that Dragon uses.Full logging is enabled , so don't be surprised for being punished. We want to motivate active players , to play without being competent by hordes of bots.

 

The first server who pays you
*Yes, you have been reading correctly, we will pay you real money . All you have to do is to posses a working pay-pal account and wait our STOCK MARKET to be open.We will try to make it open as much as possible. More about this unique feature will be postponed on the day of the releasing server live. There is many reasons for not telling it before, among all its that we have too many bad copycats around. Stay tuned for this amazing option news.

 

Anti L2-walker policy
*Even we will try protect ourself and update against such issues, there will be strict rules versus L2walker players and bots with active L2walker police running around in different time zones in order to cover all the players. Actual rules will be applied prior servers opening.

 

Regional Managers and GMs
*I have build a great active,skilled and mature team of people who will try bring you unique support and service feeling. You will have support on your own language at your regional manager for various languages:
English,Polish,Russian,Portuguese,Spanish. After you send us your problem, on your language, you will receive an reply when your issue will be solved usually within <30minutes.
*GM-s Agenda. We will have a GMs week schedule so you will know which GM and when you can find it in game. Apart this all of the game masters will log randomly to support, help, answer your question or do the event. Unless differently announced or gm-s being busy with something , by doing /gmslit you will be able to find us and send us PM<private message>.
*NON playing gms. This is our main rule, and it will stay like this.
*GM Team. As I said earlier its mature people, ex players and good guys.GMs:^Drake^,^TrackZero^,^Xarion^,^Lucid^,^Deavon^,^FDX^,^Artur^

 

Automatic PvP-PvE based events
*There are already pre-made events that will bring you new dimension of joy and fun in Linage 2 world. We made a dedicated area for you that will be opened per_period of time with lots of surprises down there.
You will meet , among other things, our Dungeon guardians Kratos , Dartan , Rakazan with their friends, very powerful raids with very valuable drop you will like. I don't have to remind you that whole area is pvp zone
from which you will benefit too, for every kill you score you will be rewarded so make it count! Once again I have to remind you that opening such dungeons will be sometimes full of the surprises, we will be able to limit it 
class based,skill based,item based and anything to make your challenge level at maximum, so be prepared. But as I said earlier your effort will be payed off!
*Global events that will be challenge whole server! For this occasion we made specifically two of kinds:
a) Blessed versus Cursed (Blue vs Red) ; This is an event that everyone in the server will have two different sides ; Blessed side and Cursed side; Other rules will be announced prior the event.
B) All vs All; This is an event that everyone on the server will kill everyone, its  a global war and there is no space for the weak ones!; It also works as a 'global server war', 'non faction based'; Other rules will be announced prior the event.
*Great GM tournaments, various kind of tournaments, with great rewards. What we changed is that now when your team win the event (1st place), will score a tournament_strike_point, if on the next tournament you win 1st place again, your rewards will be increased for the %multiplier , more the win streaks you have higher
the %multiplier is. 
*Korean style events.
*Events for the PvE players only.
*Various quick in game events where everyone can participate (*example: hide and seek, riddle solving, L2quiz, enchant madness , etc..)

 

Donation players friendly system
*There will be no custom armours, no custom weapons, no jewels. We will base our donation system on consumables and service. I want to remind you that we will exclude totally any kind of weapons from donation manager, because we want weapons highly enchanted and lower then S to have stable market value comparing to TOP S items. (So for example A grade bow + 15 will be comparable in price with S grade bow +X.)

 

Balanced Gameplay
*No stacking masteries.Apart that there will be NO , unreasonable "nerfs" , everything what we suspect its not right we will discuss with you guys. There are also few guidelines you must concern about this, and I will put it simple:
If your character 1 shooting everyone its not good and will be checked; There is no general best character for everything, so you cant be good in at same time with same char (Pve,pvp,oly,siege..) so make sure
you don't report "issue" because you are not TOP in all subjects; We will talk with the community, value your voice but final decisions is on the staff, because some of the decisions can be good for few of you but generally doing damage toward whole server.

 

Patch system
*Now you will be able to see all the "stats" of the monster as well as his drop/spoil with a simple click on it; Active damage/effects live on the screen

 

Olympiad Official System ;Anti Feeding System 
(Uses an smart algorithm to randomize the players during matches);IP filters

Dragon-Networks Tattoos ,Potions and Dyes system


AutoPcikup system


Auto Announcement PvP streak system with rewards


Jail System


L2off based Augument system


Offline Shops


That would be all for now. There are many of other minor things which will bring you unique gameplay but ill let some surprises for the grand opening. 
Forum rules about "trolls,spammers,haters" will be updated to more strict ones , once server goes live.
Forum design will be updated.
Forum rules toward viewing forum will be updated, guests wont be able to read forum any more.So remember to login for the news.



I would like to thank all the people , future gm-s and the others, with their knowledge suggestions and great help.Thank you all once again and we'll be seeing you in game soon!

Server will go live 15.1.2014 , more information will be announced prior the opening day, until then keep telling your friends about us, talk with us at forum and lets make this new server together to be our new home!

Rates are dynamic , for now I don't know yet GMs didn't give info about it, all what I can say is that they will decrease over time and will end up being x1 on lvl 80 or something like that.

for sub I belive you can stack a sub on every retail , say for example you created a BD, you will be able to get a substack on it, and will be able to take a substack on retails, like 

BD/SE -  and if you take retail TH you will be able to sub it too

[GenghisKhan]

Subclass system works like this:

XX/XX + XX/XX

Meaning if you start with let's say TH and you can stacksub it to any other class of SAME race (human). Along that you can do retail sub and let's say you take SPS for retail sub, you can sub SPS also but once again on the same race (elf).

 

Additional info - PVP zones around epic bosses. This could be really interesting.

So, for example

mail: Arcana lord sub: necro.

1+1

 

Or its more than 1+2

 

Also Only human Human or its able for example

Elemental summoner + Heriopl ?

 

 

Random examples :P

Nah seems like you don't know the difference between Retail and Subclass stack.

Retail is what is well known as subclass in most of l2 server and retail servers (official).ù

Substack is the custom feature that adds another class' skills to your current class, for example let's take SPS, you will be able to sub (stacksub) Any other Elf class (ES-EE-SWS...)

and that's it, you will not be able to take stack another class further than that to your main class (if you take SPS-EE you won't be able to take another sub like SWS since its main +1 , you won't be able to make SPS/SWS/EE)

 

On the other hand, let's say you are SPS/EE you will be able to take Retail subclass from Guilds (warrior guild and such..) and you will be downed to lvl 40.

Than after leveling to 76-78 you will be able to stack another class to that subclass. I'll continue on the example I gave above :

First we had SPS/EE, then we did the retail subclass quest (baium kernon and RBs...).

Then we took TH retail subclass, after you level up to 76-80 you will be able to take a Substack to that retail subclass (TH/XX but only from the Human race since we did chose Human in the first place).

 

And a Mutant is a class that could bypass that subclass system and get a substack from another race : WC/BD for example, those classes are called mutants and will not be seen in this server.

 

I hope it makes things clearer if not I'll try to help.

Ofc most of them are comming back, those who left during c4/Interlude.

[GenghisKhan]

If you check dnet forums, you'll notice that many old clans or their members announced their presence already, and this news is just couple of days old. 

[qash]
