General Fortresses Info:

In interlude, 21 fortresses were strewn across Aden. In CT1 they will finally be siegable.

Fortresses will be aquired in a way similar to clan hall sieges. Depending on their locations, they are either small or large, and are either border or territory fortresses. Castle Siege friendly-fire restrictions and exp penalties will be in effect during a Fortress Siege. A clan that owns a castle cannot own a fortress, and vise-versa.

 

Fortresses Siege:

 

A fortress siege lasts for one hour, and can happen once every four hours one day a week.

After an opposing clan signs up to siege the fortress at a "Suspicious Saler" during the registration time (Level 4 clan or higher), the fortress owning clan receives a screen message that they have 60 minutes to get to the fortress to defend it. Also, any other clan that would like to try and take it have 50 minutes to sign up or cancel your siege. After that time, the Suspicious Saler will dissappear and the fortress siege will start the 10 minute countdown.

 

Ways to obtain a fortress:

 

When the siege starts, the area around the Fortress will be considered a siege field and registered clans can create a siege headquarters inside that field. Inside the fortres, anywhere from 3 to 5 camps (depending on the fortress size) and a command camp in the center.

To capture camp, you have to kill each commander of the camp or you need to turn off the power in the Control room. After the first camp falls, you have 10 minutes to destroy the other camps to make the Command Camp's gates open for the final battle. Otherwise, the commander NPC's will reappear and you need to start over.

If you capture all the camps, the Command Camp's doors will open and 3 Fortress-Flags will appear inside the Command Camp. A registered player needs to grab the flag and place it in the flag pole at the top of the Command Camp, the clan wins the fortress. The flag gives the character 2 skills, an active and passive skill:

1) Flag Equipment: Decreases a players run speed (passive)

2) Raise Flag: Allows you to place the flag in the flag pole (active)

 

Too complicated huh :P

But dont worry because there is one alternative way to obtain a fortress

 

The alternative way to take a fortress is to shut down the Control Room. A control room is only available in large fortresses and you need a Maestro or Warsmith to shut it down.

First, the registered dwarves have to go around and turn off the sub power systems (indicated with HP bars) to block the power that's going into the Control Room. When all the sub power systems are down the warsmith/maestro receives a "Control Room Access Card" which allows access to the Control Room.

Using the Control Room Access Card, the dwarves can proceed to shut off the main power. When main power is down, the fortress is won.

 

Winning a fortress:

 

When a fortress is won, an ambassador is sent from that territories castle and offers amnesty. The new clan can decide either declare an oath to the castle or stay independent. .

If the fortress is a border fortress, ambassadors will arrive from all the neighboring territories, and you can choose which castle (if any) to pledge to. You have one hour after the siege to do this.

 

What benefits i get by a fortress:

 

When you win a fortress, you earn 300 Clan Points. If it's taken from another clan, you receive 300 points from that clan.

Through the manager in the Command Camp, you can activate exp loss reduction (like in clan halls), area teleports, support magic, and clan warehouse.

You can also receive various items from the Supply Captain NPC such as bracelets, T-shirts, talismans, as well as purchase knight unit and guard unit skills with clan points. Also, you will receive Clan Points proportional to the length of time you've held the fortress.

If you've contracted with a castle you can get a larger number of guards (for the next siege), a larger number of supply items from the Supply Captain, and learn additional Guard and Knight unit skills.

A Fortress owner obtains residential skills automatically.

Upon winning a Fortress, two residential skills are automatically acquired, and for Western Borderline Fortresses, a total of three residential skills can be obtained.[

When a clan loses a Fortress, the acquired residential skills are deleted.

 

 

Alliance between Fortresses and Castles:

 

Those clans who decide to sign the contract with the castle will become a contracted state. Fortress owned clans under a contracted state pay taxes to the chosen territory every 6 hours automatically from the clan warehouse. If the clan warehouse doesn't have enough adena, they will be switched to an Independent State automatically.

All management facilities will be opened to the fortress owning clan and supply items will be made available through the Supply Captain. The items available from the Supply Captain depends on the supply level. When the taxes are taken from your Clan Warehouse your supply level increases automatically at the cost of 10 clan points. This upgrades the items available from the Supply Captain.

The Supply level stops increasing after it reaches level 6 or when 10 points are unavailable, whichever comes first.

You will also have available to you via the Supply Captain, items required to level your clan to level 9.

 

Indepedent state of a Fortress:

 

Those clans who decide not to come under the castles rule will become an Independent State. Fortresses in their independent state cannot upgrade their defense abilities for the next siege, and a castle owning clan in the same territory can register for a fortress siege (they just can't take it).

Fortress Management will be restricted, and supply items will be unavailable. They can however, partake in the instanced dungeon below the fortress named "Basement Prison" to get fortress items.

 

Fortress Basement Prison Info:

 

The Basement Camp NPC will allow you into the Basement Prison only if you are in a party and are the party leader, once every four hours. While there, you have 10 minutes to figh the raid boss or it will dissapear.

If you kill the Raid Boss you will receive a "Badge of Knight" which you can use to buy T-Shirts, Bracelets, and Talismans from the Manager NPC.

    • I can see that the admins arent taking any action, yet they still seem willing to share information about various other people names and IP addresses. But when it comes to scams, no one reacts.      
    • Server Info Chronicle:  Interlude                                                                                                                                    XP: 100x | SP: 100x | Drop: 50x | Adena: 75x Enchant: Safe +3 |  Max +21 Website: Website Link Discord: Discord Link   WHY? When I was a teenager I had this idea. Build my own Lineage 2 server. My own rules. My own world. I wasn't a programmer. I had no idea how any of it worked. I tried, hit a wall, and quit. But the idea never left. I came back years later. Got further. Quit again. Watched friends try similar things. The idea stayed stuck in my head for fifteen years. I'm a developer now. I finally finished it. Not because I suddenly had more time - I have a full-time job and real responsibilities. An hour before bed if I'm lucky. That's actually exactly why I finished it.   The problem I kept running into I still love this game. But every server I tried as an adult made that one hour feel worthless. Log in, kill a few mobs, make no real progress, log out frustrated. The game was designed for someone with unlimited time. That person doesn't exist in my life anymore. I looked around. Everyone I used to play with has the same problem. Same love for the game. Same lack of time. Jobs, families, maybe an hour late at night. So I stopped waiting for someone else to build it.           WHAT? Custom starting zone in Gludin (up until 2nd profession start) Talent system - rebirth at level 80 and choose your talents Bounty hunter system - daily tasks to kill random monsters to receive great reward! Potion crafting system - custom HP/MP potions and recipes Custom 1st & 2nd class quests (shorter) Scheme buffer Shop until C grade   Visit our website to get more info: Website Link   The philosophy 95% of the game is completely soloable. No clan required. No raid schedules. No guilt when you have to log off. You are the solo director of your own session. Log in, pursue your goal for an hour, log out on your own terms. When you've conquered what you wanted - you stop naturally. A new season drops with fresh Talent Tree changes and you come back to build something completely different. No endless stretched grind. No pay-to-win. No shady admin decisions. No surprise wipes. I'm one developer who built this because I love it.                                          This is the server I needed fifteen years ago. Glad I finally had the skills to build it. Come see what I made. [Forever Lineage]
    • Hello MaxCheaters community! We’ve all been there: you spend months customizing your NPCs, balancing classes, and setting up the perfect farm zones. You launch your server, the hype is real, and suddenly you hit 200 players—and the "delay" starts. The mobs stop reacting, the Olympiad matches stutter, and your players start complaining on Discord. Many "newbie" admins think the solution is just throwing more RAM at the VPS. While hardware matters, Java is a finicky beast. If you don't tune your JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and your core code, you’ll lag even on a NASA supercomputer. Today, I’m sharing a deep dive into optimizing your L2 server for maximum performance. 1. The Myth of "More RAM" The biggest mistake people make is assigning 32GB of RAM to a server that only needs 8GB. In Java, if your Heap size is too large, the "Garbage Collector" (GC) has to work much harder. When the GC runs a "Full GC" cycle on a massive heap, it performs a "Stop-the-World" event. This literally freezes your server threads for 1–3 seconds to clear memory. Recommendation: For a mid-rate server with 500 players, 6GB to 8GB of Xmx (Max Heap) is usually the sweet spot. Use G1GC (Garbage First Garbage Collector) instead of the old ParallelGC. It handles large heaps much more gracefully by breaking memory into regions. 2. JVM Startup Flags (The Secret Sauce) Don't just run java -jar l2jserver.jar. You need specific flags to ensure the CPU prioritizes the right tasks. Try adding these to your start.sh or start.bat: Bash   -Xms6G -Xmx6G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:+OptimizeStringConcat -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:+TieredCompilation MaxGCPauseMillis=50: This tells Java, "Try not to freeze the server for more than 50ms at a time." It makes the gameplay feel much smoother for the end-user. 3. Geodata and Pathfinding Optimization Geodata is the biggest CPU killer in Lineage 2. Every time a mob moves or a player clicks, the server calculates "Can I see this target?" and "Is there a wall in the way?". The Fix: Use a "Pathfinding Cache." If 100 players are running from the Giran Gate to the Luxury Shop, the server shouldn't calculate that path 100 times. Check your Geodata format: Ensure you are using the .l2j or .dat formats optimized for your specific core. If your console is flooded with "Pathfind node limit reached," increase your node limit in the geo.properties file, but be prepared for higher RAM usage. 4. Database Pooling (HikariCP vs. C3P0) If your server freezes for a split second every time someone saves their character or buys an item, your Database Connection Pool is the bottleneck. Most old L2J cores use C3P0, which is outdated and slow. Switch to HikariCP: It is significantly faster and handles "dead" connections much better. Also, ensure your characters and items tables are indexed correctly in MySQL. Running a VACUUM or OPTIMIZE TABLE once a week can prevent those annoying "saving player data" spikes. 5. Network Threading In your server settings, look for "Network" or "Thread" configurations. Usually, you’ll see SelectorThreads and WorkerThreads. Selector Threads: Should be equal to the number of physical CPU cores. Worker Threads: This is where the logic happens (skills, movement). If this is too low, actions will "queue up," creating a delay even if your ping is low. 6. Community Board (BBS) Optimization On MaxCheaters, we love fancy Community Boards. However, if your Buffer or Shop script is poorly coded, it might be reloading the entire HTML from the hard drive every time a player clicks a button. The Fix: Ensure your scripts cache the HTML in the RAM. Reading from an SSD is fast, but reading from RAM is thousands of times faster. Conclusion Optimization isn't a "one-click" fix; it’s about finding the balance between your hardware and your software. Start with your JVM flags, clean up your Geodata settings, and make sure your Database isn't choking on old logs. If you found this helpful, leave a comment or a "Thank You" below! If you have specific lag issues with a certain core (aCis, L2Emu, etc.), post your server.properties and I’ll try to help you tune it.
    • Hello all, we are a small team of developers working on two servers right now. One of them is Interlude and the other Gracia Final. Both will be pride-like aiming to make the servers similar to old pride's chronicles, C6 and GF respectively.
