Hello guys,

Yes, we are back!

 

After few years we decide to come back. It’s the same team Lex and Tzu. For the guys that are new in Lineage 2 Community we had succesfull projects L2Pharos our 3rd server after L2Stars.com (~8 years ago, not .EU ) And L2Evolution.com.  The ‘old guys’ can confirm that those servers were successfully ones without this `greedy-coruption-servers` etiquette that were killed by DDoS because we were competition.

Also one of our biggest success was L2Silver which i think it doesn't need any presentation

Let’s present us a bit:

 

Lex – the guy who talk to the players all days and comes with ideas and improvements for server to make it a long-term server. Always thinking of new content/events/possibilities to make the server enjoyable.

 

Tzu – the guy who don’t talk so much to players ( not really good at socializing like Lex), but who is the back of the server and take care of implementing Lex ideas. A little bit obsessed to check all the time if all is performant. Currently being Software Developer for 3 years ( sadly in C#, but it’s not such a big difference)

 

Now how we decided to come back:

 

In all this time ( 5 years ) by keep talking and last year we meet in a city and had few beers talking about that great times when we were having server and working on the server, and when one of us was distracted by something else, the other one would call him 24/7 to work on server ), after that we decided to watch L2Scene to see what’s happening, we saw that it’s in a more bad way that when we left, but the players community increased. After that, in 5 months, Lex arrived at my house (Tzu) and in a night we decided to come back and make it great again. A few thanks for the guys from: L2PlayInEra they started to change a bit the community and they had a nice success and I respect them. So in last 4 months we took informations, regarding all problems, what players want, we tested few servers and I think we understood what is wanted and put some time to start working on the idea.

What we saw that was missing very much: a place where players can be a community without being forced all the time to move from one server to another and choosing not a good server, but the server that is not the worst. And that's what we try to accomplish. To make Private Servers community a little bit better. We want to see more good servers.

 

We are still working on the server side, but the website is in BETA-Phase and we already have a forum:

www.l2pharos.com – Website

www.l2pharos.com/forum - Community Forum

We’ve also added some features of the server and we will still add on the list more informations. We understand that is far from perfect, that’s why we delay the opening, even thought I think we will make it not even close to near perfect, with your help, we will! We ask you to give us any advises, or any suggestions that you may have

 

As we you may have guessed we made a mid rate with the next features:

My opinion,for what it's worth,i can honestly say pharos and silver(the 1st one)were the best h5 mid rates i've played in both community/non corruption/events.

 

 

 

 

 

On a side note though,years have passed since then and back then we didn't have the endless bot farming fest issue(at least not that blatantly abused to be more pricise),so although im gonna give it a try,im still sceptical on how this will pan out.

No hate or anything, but prepare mucho $$$$ bcs mouse will destroy u so easy, he dont care if he spend 5k euro for ddos or he will log at your server and pay/give items / euros for clans to get them at his server

 

but true, pharos / silver was best, but at 2k13? now we are at 2k17. ppl prefer boting / get free items and after 1 week leave

I think that this also depends a lot on the available servers that were on the market. And because only greedy servers, that's what players played. I think this can be changed. A big "boost" for us was PlayInEra server because they tried something different and they had success. Time will answer this question

Regarding the DDoS i think HyperFilter is the best available protected server and it can defend us against it. Also i've heard that neither OVH can be taken down, but it can get very laggy and unplayable and as far as i know hyperfilter is 'next-level' so i hope/belive it will be ok.

 

Regarding 'paying other clans' this strategy can work on short-term and if we bring quality/improvements and making a good community, we can pass this and restore a balance in this monopoly that they've created. But as i said to Eagle_Eye time will tell.

about ddos, tales using best protection, and still its down for 1-2h at start

 

you can make server w/o corruption / donate etc, but still ppl will prefer corrupted server with huge donation, since there they dont need so much farm

What do you mean by "best protection"? As far as i searched and looked Hyperfilter is the top and they can't putted down so easy.

I think that this need of "not farming almost at all" came from the insecurity that the last servers gave them so they stopped having any expectations. I think that can be changed, not easy, but at least show that it can be also different. In the time that i've played lineage2 the most long relationships we bounded with others were not only in PvP, but also when we were grinding together for hours and we were talking on any subject ( ventrilo on that period of time ).

You are mistaken here.In the last few years people played only mouse or stalone servers,which were dead in the first month.Of course nobody wish to farm in a server which:

1.Focused mainly on donation.Almost all zones are with decreased drops

2.Dies in 1 month.

If there is someone to provide stable server and last more than 2-3 months,then everything will be different

Cheers.

    • This post originally appeared on MmoGah. Welcome to Borderlands 4, the latest installment in Gearbox Software's beloved looter-shooter franchise. Set in the sprawling world of Kairos, this game introduces new mechanics, characters, and a vast open-world experience. Whether you're a series veteran or a newcomer, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started and succeed.       Choosing Your Vault Hunter Borderlands 4 offers four unique Vault Hunters, each with distinct abilities and playstyles: Amon: A close-quarters tank who excels with shotguns and melee attacks. Ideal for aggressive players who like to be in the thick of battle. Vex: A stealthy clone master who can duplicate herself to confuse enemies and amplify damage. Great for tactical players. Rafa: A long-range specialist with sniper skills and elemental traps. Perfect for precision shooters. Harlowe: A support-oriented character with healing and crowd-control abilities. Best for team players or solo survivalists. Tip: Read each character's affinity and skill tree before committing. You can respec later, but starting with a character that matches your playstyle makes the early game smoother.   What to Do First After completing the prologue, you'll land in Kairos with your first mission: Recruitment Drive. Here's what you should prioritize: Complete "Down and Outbound" This unlocks the Digi-Runner, your summonable vehicle. It's essential for fast travel and early combat support. Secure a Safehouse Safehouses offer fast travel, contracts, and gear storage. Claim one early to make exploration easier. Upgrade Your Backpack Inventory space is limited at first. Upgrading your backpack lets you carry more loot and ammo. Unlock the Glidepack This mobility tool allows you to traverse vertical terrain and reach hidden areas. Return Lost Capsules These collectibles offer XP and gear. They're scattered across Kairos and are worth hunting down.   Navigating Kairos Borderlands 4 removes the traditional minimap. Instead, you'll rely on: ECHO-4 Drone: Your personal navigator. It highlights paths, climbable walls, and grapple points. Radar Display: Enable this in the settings (Gameplay → Toggle Radar Display) for better orientation. Custom Waypoints: Use these to mark objectives or loot spots on your map.   Combat Tips Combat in Borderlands 4 is fast, chaotic, and rewarding. Here's how to stay alive and dominate: Use Cover and Movement Kairos is filled with vertical terrain. Use walls, ledges, and grapple points to dodge enemy fire. Elemental Matchups Matter Match your weapon's element to enemy weaknesses: Fire: Best against flesh Shock: Effective on shields Cryo: Slows and freezes Corrosive: Destroys armor Test Action Skills Each character has three skill trees with unique capstones. Don't hesitate to respec if a skill doesn't suit you—Borderlands 4 money is easy to earn. Use Vehicle Weapons The Digi-Runner comes equipped with basic weapons. Use it to soften up enemies before engaging on foot.   Leveling Up Efficiently XP is crucial for unlocking skills and gear. Here are the best ways to level up: Main Missions: Progress the story to unlock key tools and areas. Side Missions (Contracts): These are found in Safehouses, which offer quick XP and gear. Farm Bosses: Some bosses drop legendary loot and give decent XP. Replay Vault Missions: These are harder but offer large XP rewards. Prospects Drill Site: A top-tier farming location with high XP and legendary gear chances.   Looting and Gear Loot is the heart of Borderlands. Here's how to maximize your haul: Color Rarity Guide: White: Common Green: Uncommon Blue: Rare Purple: Epic Orange: Legendary Don't Just Chase DPS Look at weapon stats like reload speed, magazine size, and elemental effects. A lower-DPS gun with better utility might outperform a high-DPS one. Legendary Drops Bosses and elite enemies have a chance to drop legendary weapons. Keep farming if you're after something specific. Black Market Vendor Hidden in Kairos, this vendor sells rare gear. Check back often for rotating stock.   Advanced Tips Once you've got the basics down, here are some pro-level strategies: Drive Recklessly Vehicles explode easily, but you can summon a new one instantly. Use them aggressively. Fishing Minigame Yes, Borderlands 4 has fishing! Look for bubbling water spots. Fish can be traded for gear or used in crafting. Accessibility Settings Reduce screen shake and head-bob if you're prone to motion sickness. It makes long sessions more comfortable. Explore After Getting Vehicle The map is massive. Wait until you have the Digi-Runner before venturing far from mission hubs. Collect Vault Symbols These unlock lore, XP, and sometimes gear. They're hidden throughout the world.   Final Thoughts Borderlands 4 is a wild ride full of loot, laughs, and laser fire. As a beginner, focus on: Picking the right character Unlocking your vehicle early Using ECHO-4 for navigation Farming XP through missions and bosses Matching elemental weapons to enemies Respeccing your skills to suit your playstyle With these tips, you'll be well on your way to becoming a legendary Vault Hunter in Kairos.
