Staff: There are more than 10 years in management and extensive experience in the L2OFF servers. There are no other GMs or GAs available on the server in this way you can feel free of any kind of interference and/or corruption in the server since there are no GMs or GAs playing.
 
The L2Way project (Important - Read): The server uses L2OFF PTS files and focused on being as closed as possible to the official server. The server will be low rate (4x) and buffs in original times. With extensive experience in L2Server administration, as already done by us before, approximately after 8 to 12 months (there is no fixed date) we will have update to Gracia Final and later for High Five always following the focus on being low rate and more similar with the official.
 
Donation NPC: The server will launch without grade A and S items available in the NPC and after a few weeks the items will be released gradually in the NPC.
Boss jewels will not be available via donations and are thus only available via drop. On our site, we will have a script where you can track which players have these jewels.
There will not be special bonus items for people who donate, all items that will be in npc will also be available for purchase in the original forms of the game. Donation coins can be traded, so players who farm will be able access to those coins.
There will also not be AIO buffers or NPC buffers. The buffs will be used in the original forms of the game!
 
 
Frequently Asked Questions:
 
Does the server intend to insert new GMs or GAs in the future to help in the support and server?
No, we prefer to keep the server free from such problems. As stated above, we have extensive experience in l2servers administration and we know that GMs or GAs will bring us more problems than solutions. GMs and GAs always have friends who play on the server and this harms the future of the server as we have had past experiences. In addition, you will be sure to be playing on a server where there are no GMs or GAs playing, thus bringing greater reliability to the server. We know that to give support for everyone is a hard job, but we prefer to be bad in the support service reply period than to have great problems like the ones we had in the past.
 
When we are going to have Gracia and High Five update players will lost items?
No, players will not lose any items. The update is done directly in the database, thus, no item, level or skills will be lost.
 
What staff will do to keep the server running with a good number of online players?
Our servers are already well known and everyone knows that they are long date. The reliability and experience of previous servers guarantee you stability and fun for so many years. In addition we will be always doing events to attract new players and we will also be always maintaining a good advertisements in the servers main top lists.
 
Is it possible that there are classes that are better than the others on the server?
Yes, it is possible since the files will be kept in the original way. Even though some classes may be better than the others, as the server uses original buff times, all classes are required to make things happen on the server. Support classes should be the most valued of the server and players who generally like to play in these classes will be played between the clans of the server.
 
What are the protections that the server uses?
The server uses full protection against any kind of automatic action. We use the best softwares to keep the game clean of people who want to take some advantage. In addition to the known software, we also use some techniques developed by our Admin Thunder specially for our servers. As these techniques are not known, we can say with greater confidence that our server is totally free of bots and/or hacking programs. In addition to all the software that the server already uses, the server admins also log in sporadically to check suspicious actions and/or players that may have been reported. Anyway, we can say that using any kind of program to take advantage on our servers, has no future because the ban in your accounts will be applied.
 
I share accounts with my friends. They login my accounts and I login his accounts. If he does something wrong, can I be banished with him?
Each case is a case and we will analyze this type of punishment separately. If we realize that you got any kind of benefit because your friend was using something not allowed, your accounts will also be banned with him. We recommend not sharing your account and not logging accounts from other players to avoid any kind of problems.

Almost everything sounds awesome about this server. I was about to join the server, but then this:

 

 

 
Donation NPC: The server will launch without grade A and S items available in the NPC and after a few weeks the items will be released gradually in the NPC.

 

 

So people will be able to buy items? Everything I've worked for for weeks could be obtained by some wallet warrior in a minute? That's really demoralizing.

I'm so experienced with this.

 

The server will not start in this way. But just to reply your question in other sides and visions...

 

Vision 1)

No one can stop who have money.

If in the future the server don't have such items to get as donation reward, who have money will buy it from other players. (Maybe you who have farmed for weeks, will sell this).

This will work in the same way and the most penalized with this is you because in a server like this, big clans will zerg farm just to sell farm by money and you gonna farm nothing.

Out of this, the server will have loss quality by no money to get good quality of services.

 

Vision 2)

You will have the items by farming, with Fun because you are playing a game, and he will have items with donations and money comes from his job.

What you prefer, play online games all day with lots of fun and have items or Work in your job all day, and have only little time of fun playing games?

I'm sure, NO ONE PREFER to WORK!

 

Vision 3)

Its impossible to stay with a good server online, without donations and get good quality.

Servers who says: "no donations" for sure, they should get money for any ware.

They will just sell items via email, via Skype or anything like this.

if not, they are so rich because to have time to expend administrating the server and pay all bills alone, wow, its so hard then... in this way, there is only 1 logic. They loves to play L2, and they will play inside the server with his friends. The items you farm for weeks, they will just //summon and will kill you with this items.

Its impossible to stop who have money to buy items... (players sell much more then servers).

Make sure of this!

Stilll you cant afford them to sell since they will probably sell for lower prices.Remove items from donate,other than that it looks very good and decent server to choose to play and it would fit in ppl summer time.

[DarkoDarko]

Those are valid points for sure. But shouldn't you try to fight the cheaters, instead of embracing them? Where do you draw the line then, if some of it is okay?

 

I'm not arguing against donations, I think they're an important part of a server structure. I'm arguing against donations which reduce the accomplishment of getting a rare item in-game. Pay to win donations effectively put a price-tag on everyone's time, and that severely impacts the joy of playing.

 

Fight the RMT, ban the cheaters and rock a good server. There's plenty of other things people would donate for. Don't just bend over, that's not a good look for a server owner.

cheaters can be punished,but how to stop people who sell black marketing items ? Idk admins can fight that..but still items shouldn't be added in donation shop,since people who have cash would not eben farm

I think the same way.

I do not like to insert items that only people who donate can have.

For sure, ill never do it!

Test server is online with so many "easy things" and "lvl" to test.
