      Do not trust this guy, he will scam you. I have sent proof to the mods, I have posted proof on another thread and I can send proof to anyone who DMs me. Avoid this guy. So not only did he scam me out of $51 USDTthen delete his messages and blocked me (I have proof) . You can see his Facebook group is constantly changing names depending on his most current scam. If you see this message and you still decide to go forward with sending your money to him, that’s on you. I can’t stress this enough. This guy is a scammer.

      🎯 Selling Adena for Lineage 2 — ALL SERVERS (Reborn all)

      So Goldbar thinks that deleted his side of the conversation makes it easier to claim he didn’t scam me. But I sent him $51 USDT to his ERC-20 account it was verified, he acted like it was fine but then deleted his messages and blocked me. Seriously do not trust this guy.

      Junior developer, looking to intern on a non-profit project.

      By zambog420 · Posted

      Hi everyone, let me introduce myself—I'm Martin, a junior developer. I'm diving into the world of L2 servers, and honestly, I'm super overwhelmed about where to start learning the right way to set up, configure, and run a server. There are so many datapacks—free, private—but it's so much that my head feels like it's going to explode. I'm currently looking for someone or an active project willing to take me on as an intern. I'm not looking to make money—I'm just here to learn and grow out of pure passion for L2. I've already been working with L2jMobius H5. I managed to edit the Community Board, add a buffer, GM Shop, and teleports. I've also created custom NPCs for the GM Shop, and imported new custom weapons and armors—complete with original glow effects, like the Valakas and Antharas weapons. But there's still a lot I don't know, and it can get overwhelming. That’s why I’m looking for someone—or an active non-profit project—willing to take me on as an intern. I’m not looking to make money; I just want to learn, contribute, and grow out of pure passion for L2. If you’re working on a project and could use a motivated learner who’s eager to help, I’d love to connect!
