L2 Runestone
Interlude C6 · 5x · Open since 10 August 2026 · No wipe, ever
l2runestone.com · Discord

---

Most servers die the same way. They sell power, the market dries up, and the people who actually play leave. This one is built not to do that, and everything below is the actual configuration rather than a wishlist.

 

Rates

• Experience 5x · Skill points 5x
• Party experience and SP 6x
• Drop 5x · Spoil 5x · Quest reward 5x
• Adena 7x
• Raid boss, Grand boss and epic jewels: 1x, untouched
• Special herbs 1x

Adena sits above item drop on purpose, so shots stay affordable without flooding the economy. Epics are deliberately not multiplied: the strongest gear in the game should be the hardest to hold.

 

Enchant

Safe to +3 (+4 full body). +1 per scroll, and a failed scroll destroys the item. Scrolls are not sold by any NPC.

	Normal	Blessed	Crystal
+4	96%	97%	98%
+6	88%	91%	94%
+8	80%	85%	90%
+10	72%	79%	86%
+12	64%	73%	82%
+15	52%	64%	76%

 

 

Not retail 66% flat. It is gentler than retail early and harsher late, which is a choice, not an accident. Max +15 weapons and armor, +12 jewellery.

 

What is not here

• No autofarm. No command, no macro engine, nothing plays for you. Adena auto-loots; items do not.
• No gear above D grade from NPCs. Starter equipment is sold as it is at retail. Everything from C grade up drops, is crafted, or is traded between players. The dwarf is the heart of the economy, not a side character.
• Nothing that matters for sale. Power is never purchasable. Convenience and cosmetics are the only things that will ever be.
• No wipe. Ever. If a bug is found we fix the bug and remove what it produced, instead of resetting the world because that is easier.

 

Retail where it counts

• Pure retail class balance. Casts keep a real interrupt window, crowd control never exceeds 90%
• Olympiad weekly, starting 18:00, six hour competition period
• Sieges and epic bosses on retail mechanics
• Buff slots 24 · Subclass to 81 · First and second class change at NPC, third class is earned
• Offline trade and craft, including in peace zones, restored across restarts

 

Technical

• The client is patched by one byte to protocol 748, so a client that has not been through our launcher is refused at the door
• Full geodata, 163 regions, with pathfinding enabled. No walking through walls, no mobs pulled through geometry
• Anti-bot with an in-game check, and anti-advertising covering chat, whispers, private store titles and character names
• InnoDB with binary logging, verified daily backups kept in two places, and a weekly restore test that actually restores

 

Honest part

It opened on 10 August 2026 and it is small. There is no countdown, no launch event, no fake population counter, and nobody is going to hand you gear. If you log in tonight you will find a quiet world. That is the trade: you are early, and everything you build from here stays yours.

 

Getting in

You need a Lineage II Interlude (Chronicle 6) client already on your PC. The launcher downloads and repairs the system folder on its own and verifies every file before the game starts; it touches nothing else and will not patch Gracia or later.

Theres servers " no vipe" will vipe after few months

[marcosalberto]

You are right, and most of them meant it when they said it.

 

Servers wipe because it is the only tool they have left. Something breaks the economy, a duplication bug or an exploited quest or a bad multisell, and the owner cannot tell which items came out of it. When you cannot find the bad items, the only way to clean the world is to delete the world. That is not dishonesty, it is running out of options.

 

So the answer is not to promise harder. It is to not need the promise:

Backups run daily into three places: this machine, an S3 bucket whose key can write and cannot delete, and a computer that is not the server at all.

 

A restore test runs weekly and actually restores, into a scratch database, comparing every table against production. I ran it before writing this reply: 119 tables, 0 missing, 0 empty, characters back with their coordinates.

Binary logging is on with sync_binlog=1 and fourteen days of retention. Every change is on record, so an item can be traced back to what produced it and removed by itself.

 

That is what makes "fix the bug and remove what it produced" a real option instead of a slogan.

What I will not promise is that the server runs forever. If it ever closes, that is an ending, not a wipe, and you would hear it from me first.

 

Six months is the only proof that counts. Bookmark the thread.

That's definitely not the reason why they perform wipes.
