I didn't have full official html pack for Ertheia, but your'e welcome: class_preview_menace001.htm

[Cloud Breaker]

That's not Eviscerator. Not by a long shot.

 

Anyway, since there may be localization (translation) issues between KR, initial NA, current NA and RU, I wanted the name of html with 'L2ClassGuide.ertheia.ert_c0188'.

 

Not storm_menace (Stratomancer), not marauder (Marauder), not lenker (Ripper). And def not sayhas_seer (Sayha's Seer).

...when you have the bins of any god++ let the right people know ;)

Well, he specified that he does not want to sell them. And I can understand – if you want to make money, you have to sell them immediately and to as many interested parties as possible. Now, after a new race/classes AND an entirely new game mode (Classic) was released (not to mention max lvl 199 + exaltation and cross-server raids in IO), this GDL (PTS?) serverpack is worth cents compared to what it was worth roughly two years ago.

 

It is still worth a lot in the hands of a typical server owner, but it is missing far too many major features nowadays, so there's no way to sell it for a "good" price. I'd say we just wait until another update like Ertheia arrives, since that will make the obsolete GDL worth a few hundred bucks, all-included.

 

And yes, time is on our side. No one in their sane mind would pay more than $10 for an official C2 485 serverpack (complete with db dump, petition, etc.) today. This happened to C4, happened to GF, and it will happen to GDL.

 

Ok.

Thanks, although this raises too many questions ;)

No, it will not.

Because you have not understood how it leaks in the first place - nor that "eventually" is a very ambigious and pointless term to use here.

(And funny how you skip H5, when will it leak mister?).

 

It does matter when something publicly leaks or when something gets in hand privately to people.

A GOD++ leak now is worth alot to the right people - but of course not as much as when you were solo'ing the market with 3-4 live servers globally with the files.

 

Scripts are worthless alone to anyone except l2j people - it's too much work to do GF>up (hell even H5>Up - if your one of the few people with the physical files) for what will most likely be chum change compared to invested time.

 

...GOD++> up however sets a base that's entirely workable in a decent timeframe.

There was never any substantial proof about IL, HB or HF.

 

Though there were Freya scripts, so the exes may have existed as well. Yes, this WAS (or should I say IS, because it is to this day) an anomaly.

And HF was very similar to Freya. Extremely, I'd say. You know what that means…

People who had Freya just extended it to HF.

 

The fun thing is, there's apparently Ertheia scripts floating around, even though there isn't any real Ertheia server available to the public (yet?). All are either l2j or L2OFF with client support. Which unfortunately forces me to reserve judgement. I may be wrong about HF, and I may also be wrong about Ertheia, unfortunately. Because people always end up doing extenders and customizing gameplay to a point where it starts getting unclear if this is C1 ext with dumbed down AI from GF/later and all the additions (aug/attr/appearance/etc) built on top.

 

For whatever that is related to those leaks, we all live in a world of illusions; hence some completely unimportant detail holds the key to proving that things are the way we believe they are. I guess that means it's time for me to shut up, as it is pointless to debate things I can neither prove nor disprove (yet).

 

EDIT:

But GoD++ was nowhere near linear development model. There are GoD+ features that existed very shortly; plus, not having additional race and classic mode support out of the box is a letdown.

For you because your unable to quickly build it or build it within meaningful timeframe.

Doesn't mean your everyone. And you can't build a daemon out of scripts, base was always GF with HF until the private HFs started popping up.

 

It's known HF exists, freya never existed outside NCSoft. And rumours state Freya-scripts leaked by human error in NC West.

 

By pure public servers we know HF,GOD, Tauti, Lindvior,Glory, Ertheia is in the "private circle" hands.

 

That should tell you someone has had long term and almost permanent access to NC or a partner with NCSoft contracts (Take a wild geuss which).

Which perhaps still exists today perhaps still not (slowdown lately of "new chronicle servers") - but since HF someone more or less had access to build this concession of leaks per chronicle with almost clockwise swiss perfection  to run public servers in N-1 fashion against retail updates.

 

The ONLY reason GF leaked is because those same people physically let go of the files - since it was probably a one-off sale at that given time.

Yet here we are years later and nothing new has leaked since then.

 

Geuss all you want - but all logic dictates the ship that started GF has been severely tightened and is very well managed up until now.

One can assume that means their revenue ambitions\demands still follow suit - and until that changes public will see nothing.

I once guessed, but later I noticed that the facts do not check out, so I stopped. Though, of course, there's always employee rotation going on. In any organization.

 

This clears some things up, but it is still not enough. Also, certain facts do indicate it is highly likely "developers" are not spending their time developing L2, they have gotten lazy. I guess they know even less about how L2 works nowadays than before, and "having prebuilt serverpacks" would be a reasonable explanation. As well as the current slowdown.

(although NA/NCWest failed to deliver IO and had the exalted quest chain broken for like a month after release; tough times for all, I guess).

 

Thanks for the pointers, but I still stand by what I said. HF is a sort of a moral successor to IL, being loved without any good reason; so obviously, it can't be let go, just like IL was at a time. Time will pass and it will become old and worthless, and it will be given away. On the other hand, GDL is not a moral successor to anything.

 

GoD updates, on the other hand, made the game differ by large amounts between them. So it is arguable whether the base GoD pack is worth something nowadays, esp. considering that at least part of HF stuff was already removed at GoD release. Current L2 uses entirely different classes, SP counts, monster spawns and drops, item gain/enchant methods, etc. etc., although the monster AI is either largely the same or actually the very same as in GF (of course, for field monsters that already existed in GF). And obviously for people who don't really know how to play L2, this wouldn't say anything except "they want to take my precious".

 

On the other hand, not sharing anything is the best way to stay off the radar.

thats funny, you play some garbage l2j priv, which is yet another interlude but with classic client support and feel special about that? :D

I understand why all lowlifes play interlude, F1-pvp is all they can handle without headache xD

    • 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!
