Hello! We are Genesis, small team that works on new Lineage 2 project. Our goal with this project
is to create a fresh new place to play — built around real community feedback, with no aggressive
pay-to-win donations and with carefully thought-out quality-of-life improvements, balance changes
etc.

We believe that even tho we all love this game, everyone has at least one or two things they would
like to change in the game to make it more enjoyable. Thats why we want the comunity feedback to
shape our server.

Main information about the server:
• Interlude Classic version
• Rates: EXP x4 SP x2 Loot x2, Spoil x2 (not set in stone, might be changed)
• Local & Server-Side Dualbox Protection
• Complete, Clear Website with Integrated Account Panel (Game account creation, direct
communication with support, bug reporting, voting and reward system)
• Launcher – External Game Login System: manage all your accounts inside the launcher,
“Play” button logs you directly into the game server

Here are list of few changes we already added/decided to add to the server:

• Reworked Client to fit interlude Era with upgraded Classic Ui

• Custom Antibot system

• Custom AntiDualBox System
• Offline shops

• Offline shop with buffs (available only in towns)
• Mass Sweeper added to the game
• Newbie buffs available all the way to lvl 76 (nothing crazy, but its free)
• Slight balance change to Destroyer damage with Polearm and Cancel spell from SPS
• PvP zones on every Epic spawn spot
• Overbuffing blocked

• And more!

Since we put big focus on community feedback and suggestions, we are looking for people for our
internal tests, that will discuss whether current changes „fit” into the game and maybe suggest some
changes themselves. If what you’ve just read sounds interesting to you, if you want to help creating
server fitted for you, join our server Discord. Help us to understand what Lineage 2 players in 2026
actually expect and need — so we can meet those expectations and avoid becoming just another
server that dies a natural death.

 

 

Even if you’re not interested in playing right now, but you are a long-time Lineage 2 player, feel free to join our community. We would greatly appreciate your experience and feedback to help us improve and develop our project.

I’m coming to you with a small update — internal testing is currently underway. We’re working on catching minor issues and resolving them before the server launch

In the near future, we’re planning public tests, which you’ll all be invited to.

At the same time, I’ll be sharing a few Quality of Life changes coming to L2 Genesis.

Since the Genesis community is still very small, I decided to ask a larger Lineage 2 community for advice — so here I am, Redditors.

 

I’m coming back to you with the second version of the proposed changes regarding Destroyer balance in Interlude.
You can read about the first proposal here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Lineage2/comments/1rb9da7/l2genesiscom_seek_for_feedback_destro_balance/

 

User DanPWN3D suggested a pretty interesting idea that we managed to implement for testing with our testers, but we’d like to get some outside opinions as well.

 

 

Do you think a Destroyer nerf in Interlude is needed to bring it in line with Warlord in AoE farming?

 

If yes, which approach would be better?

 

Option 1 – Frenzy + Guts blocked when using Polearms
The skills would still work normally with all other weapons, so Destroyer wouldn’t lose its strength in PvP or single-target PvE farming.

Option 2 – Splash damage nerf
All mobs (except the main target) receive reduced damage by a percentage.
(The exact value could be anything from 1 to 99 and would need to be defined.)

Hey everyone,

We're L2Genesis — an Interlude Classic server being built with one core belief: every player matters. Not just the top clans, not just the donators — everyone.

We've spent months developing, refining, and listening to community feedback. Now we're opening up our Closed Beta and we need your help to make sure this server launches rock-solid. Registration is open for one week only — after that, the doors close. Every tester who puts in the work walks into launch day with exclusive rewards that won't be available again.

 

---

 

Why Genesis?

We're not rushing to open doors and hope for the best. We're building a community-first server where player feedback directly shapes the final product. No pay-to-win, no shortcuts — just a clean Interlude experience with thoughtful quality-of-life improvements. If you've been burned by servers that promise the world and deliver a cash shop, this one's for you.

What you can expect to see on our server:

- x4 rate

- Player buff trade shop

- Crystallization shop

- Arena mode for FUN PvP

Get Involved

This is your chance to shape a server before it launches, not complain about it after. The testers who show up now are the ones who'll feel the difference on day one — and they'll have the exclusive rewards to prove it.

Sign Up for beta test and drop in to Discord, and let's build something worth logging into.

Even if you're not ready to test but you're a veteran L2 player — join the community anyway. Your experience and perspective are worth a lot to us.

See you in Aden.
