I know that Deazer hates me and I don't like the guy either but objectively Lucera is better coded and uses better tech. The bar is low for both projects but if Lucera is a 10 then aCis is a 6, purely based on tech and code.

That doesn't make it a better project, but the java side is more on par which what you would see but someone who writes Java for a living rather than someone who is self taught.

 

That being said, aCis is a better overall project. A project isn't just the code. It's the leadership, the direction, the monetization model and so much more.

 

So yeah if you're only interesting in the "Java" aspect then Lucera is better but if you want a good project aCis is a no brainer. Deazer treats his customers like dogshit based on the PMs that I've seen. Also Lucera is closed source so if even if the Java side is better, you are limited by the plugin engine.

So in conclusion, having a server based on Lucera is just dumb. You are limited to use his formulas (even tho some of them are terrible) and you can't change much.

More like, if you want a ready to go server, take Lucera. Otherwise, aCis, yet you will have to implement all what you need and fix potential issues.

 

People are using Lucera since ages and say it's good enough, no major bugs and have shitload of customs.

 

Everything depends what you really want. A project to worn on or you want to open a ready to use server.

Yeah don't bother, just use aCis.

I'm already using aCis. I just wanted to know your opinions.

Thanks for your opinion. It really matters that you said that.

I am sure that ACIS and Lucera have their positives. Some things I did not like with these packs:

1. Trying to swim up from a necropolis or catacomb...trying to get out is ridiculous...

2. Bosses cast hold skill on player and player can not hit boss but boss + minions hit player

3. No separation of player shops so players can not walk between

4. Mob/Raid Boss behavior i did not like

Maybe these have been fixed now. I dont know. But these are problems that impact players.

 

I know Athena Project is another option but the servers I have played on with this pack i did not like.

 

Years ago,  L2OFF packs were by far better than L2J packs. But today, L2J packs with updated files are just as good or better.

 

I have had L2jORION files for 4 years and  I am very happy. Prices are reasonable, support is excellent, and necessary updates have been added.

I NEVER hear a complaint from players about geo data or server performance.

This is just an opinion of an admin/player of these other packs and as a satisfied client of L2jORION. Good Luck.

 The thing with L2OFF is that, it is extremely hard to make customs.
Everything has it's pros and cons. Although the question is about Java emulators.
I'm going to stick with my original opinion and say aCis once more.
I would like more members of the community, fellow users of aCis or Lucera to respond.
I'm saying it again. This is not a topic to help me decide which emulator is best for me.

I never worked with any other pack than aCis for the past 5 years, however the last week I've been working on a lucera 3 server and here are my two cents:

 

The pack itself is stable (I mean there's no gamebreaking bugs or missing things). Through their plugin system you can pretty much code anything you wish because you can access and interfere with anything from the source. There are limitations if for example you want to modify an existing system (say seven signs) beyond the configuration capabilities, you're going to have to write your own custom system from scratch.

 

When you begin working on lucera after l2j, you will get very mad at the beginning since about 70% of the project structure is changed, but if you know where to look and what to look for, you won't run into trouble.

 

Each system has countless configurations available, even if they are not used by retail in order to help the developer build what they want without having to code at all. From what I can tell, I think the developer of lucera knew what he was doing (I believe the development of the project is abandoned, only bugfixes).

 

After taking a look at the source through a decompiler, the project structure looks pretty ugly and it feels there are things here and there which makes it hard to look for something specific (russians).

 

 

Conclusion: I would go with aCis rather than lucera 3, but that's a personal opinion (I like to create the stuff I use when possible). That doesn't mean lucera 3 shouldn't be an option for admins with less experience/budget (it would cost more than 120 to hire developers for aCis).

The conclusion is... any updated L2j pack(like L2jorion) is as good as any L2OFF pack.

Many years ago L2Off was better. But not today.

L2j is easier to develop and customize,

From a players point of view, there is no obvious difference in pack.

From an Admin's point of view, L2j is cheaper and easier to customize to admin's preference.

The debate is not ACIS vs LUCERA..

The debate is L2OFF vs L2j.. and as time has gone on,  L2J files have progressed and been updated to a point that L2OFF files are no better than L2J files.

L2jOrion is trash

 Everyone has their own opinion. i like it. Your opinion is from a developer not a player or Admin.

I would love to hear you explain why L2jorion pack is trash...

My opinion is from a developer, so if you only care about a player or admin perspective, then explaining it would make no difference. Ignorance is bliss

Exactly. So only Admins that manage the server and players that play the server matter. So stfu?

You got a semi-broken car. You're about to travel 90 Km distance with 4 passengers in high-speed road. Your engineer telling you that your car got leaks and won't make it after driving for so long.

Your passengers convince you you that the car is fine now so it's perfect, let's move on.

 

If you failed to catch the point, as long as you're dealing with software and programming, a developer's opinion always is on top.

    • I’ve been playing with LLM-driven autofarm bots too, and giving them some visual cues made a big difference. I ended up using art pieces from https://allcorrectgames.com/service/game-art/ as placeholders while training my detection prompts, and it actually helped the models parse scenes more reliably. If you add a bit of lightweight state tracking on top, your fake players start behaving way more naturally.
    • Roblox has become one of the world’s most influential user‑generated gaming platforms, attracting millions of players and creators every day. What makes Roblox unique is that it is not just a place to play games—it is a place where anyone can build their own. With Roblox Studio, even complete beginners can design immersive worlds, interactive experiences, and full‑fledged games. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to create your first Roblox game, while also helping you understand how features like Roblox Robux fit into the creator ecosystem.       1. What Is Roblox Studio and Why Use It? Roblox Studio is the official development environment used to create every game on the platform. It is free, accessible, and designed for creators of all skill levels. Whether you want to build a simple obstacle course or a complex simulation game, Roblox Studio provides the tools you need. The platform’s success comes from its user‑generated content model. Players can create games, publish them, and even earn Roblox Robux through in‑game purchases, game passes, or developer products. While earning Robux is not the focus for beginners, understanding its role can motivate you to improve your creations over time.   2. Setting Up Roblox Studio Before you start building, you need to install and set up Roblox Studio. Steps to get started Download Roblox Studio from the official Roblox website. Install and open the application. Log in using your Roblox account. Choose a template or start with a blank Baseplate. For beginners, templates like Obby, Village, or Racing provide a structured starting point. They include pre‑built elements that help you learn how different parts of a game work.   3. Understanding the Interface Roblox Studio may look overwhelming at first, but each panel has a clear purpose. Learning the interface early will make your development process smoother. Key panels Explorer: Shows all objects in your game world. Properties: Displays editable settings for selected objects. Viewport: The 3D workspace where you build your world. Toolbox: Contains free models, scripts, and assets. Home / Model / Test tabs: Provide tools for building, editing, and testing. Spend a few minutes clicking around, selecting objects, and adjusting their properties. This hands‑on exploration helps you understand how everything fits together.   4. Building Your First Game World Once you’re familiar with the interface, it’s time to start building. Using Parts Roblox Studio uses “Parts” as the basic building blocks. You can insert: Blocks Spheres Cylinders Wedges These can be resized, rotated, and moved to create platforms, walls, buildings, or obstacles. Using the Toolbox The Toolbox allows you to drag pre‑made assets into your game. This is extremely helpful for beginners, but choose assets carefully. Some community models include unnecessary scripts that may affect performance. Look for items marked as “Verified” or created by trusted developers. Organizing Your Workspace As your game grows, organization becomes important. Use folders in the Explorer panel to group objects logically: “Obstacles” “SpawnPoints” “Decorations” Good organization saves time and prevents confusion later.   5. Adding Gameplay with Scripts Roblox games use Lua, a beginner‑friendly scripting language. You don’t need to be a programmer to start, but learning basic scripting will greatly expand what you can create. Simple scripts you can try Making a part disappear when touched Creating a moving platform Adding checkpoints Giving players speed boosts Here’s a simple example: a script that prints a message when a player touches a part. Lua: local part = script.Parent   part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)     print("A player touched the part!") end) Even small scripts like this help you understand how interactions work in Roblox.   6. Testing Your Game Testing is essential. Roblox Studio provides several testing modes to simulate gameplay. Use the “Play” button to: Walk around your world Test scripts Check spawn points Look for bugs Ensure platforms and obstacles work correctly You can also use Play Here, Run, and Play Solo to test different aspects of your game.   7. Adding UI and Game Logic A polished game needs more than objects—it needs user interface elements and clear rules. Common UI elements Timers Score counters Health bars Buttons Pop‑up messages You can create UI using ScreenGui objects inside the StarterGui folder. Roblox provides templates for text labels, buttons, and frames, making it easy to design simple interfaces.   8. Optimizing Your Game A smooth game keeps players engaged. Here are some optimization tips: Remove unused parts and scripts. Avoid too many moving objects. Use low‑poly models when possible. Test on mobile devices—many Roblox players use phones. Keep lighting simple to improve performance. Optimization ensures your game runs well for all players, not just those with powerful devices.   9. Publishing Your Game Once your game is playable, you can publish it to Roblox. Steps to publish Click File → Publish to Roblox. Enter a name, description, and genre. Choose whether the game is public or private. Set permissions and access settings. After publishing, you can share the link with friends or the Roblox community. If you eventually want to monetize your game, you can add game passes or developer products that players can purchase using Roblox Robux. This is optional for beginners, but it becomes important as your game grows.   10. Improving Your Game Over Time The best Roblox games are updated regularly. After publishing, pay attention to: Player feedback Bug reports Suggestions from friends Analytics (visits, playtime, retention) Add new levels, improve visuals, or introduce new mechanics to keep players coming back.   11. Learning and Growing as a Creator Roblox provides many resources to help you improve: Roblox Creator Hub Developer Forum YouTube tutorials Community Discord servers The more you practice, the more confident you’ll become. Many successful developers started as beginners just like you—and some now earn significant amounts of Roblox Robux through their creations.   Final Thoughts Creating your first Roblox game is an exciting journey. You don’t need advanced skills or expensive tools—just creativity and curiosity. Start small, experiment with templates, learn basic scripting, and gradually build your skills. With time and persistence, you can create a game that players around the world will enjoy.
    • Hello it seems you can't receive PMs, it won't let me, do you use discord?
    • Hello after returning to lineage 2, I was wanting to start some local server development for a few friends and me to play around with but for some reason I'm having trouble after so many years to find a stable high five client. The clients I have found either have crash issue, many errors in the client log files or freeze after only a day or two of playing (autofarming for a day for example, you'll go to teleport after a farm session and the client freezes).   I've played a few High Five servers and it seems a lot of them have been able to optimize it to avoid these problems.  We are running multiple clients per PC so this does sound essential.   I've heard one major feature that is helping client stability is the ability to clear cache/memory without restarting the game or something along those lines.   So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of obtaining a High Five client that is clean, optimized and decrypted to be able to add customs items etc. for a fair price.
