GM banned like 10-15 people today, at least they are working on it. Also they said they are going to improve bot protection "soon", so we will see. Also keep in mind that after people reach 50-60 lvls they won't risk botting that much - not on this hardcore server.

- GMs didnt implement herb system.

- They have 2 events "running", so far I only got 1 medal dropped till level26 on both of my characters. Wow.

- 1st class change is 500 adena - WTF on low rate?!

- I get constantly (and others as well) critical error in areas around Gludin (Forgotten Temple, Wasteland and Ant Nest area).

- Global shout full of monkeys and it's a playground for stupid nolifer trolls like Johntravolta.


- Party exp is just messed up, example:

Hunting totally solo: 3816 XP
Hunting in 2-man party with other member IN TOWN: 9540 XP
Hunting in 2-man party with other member close to you: 6200 XP

(Test mob was Dire wolf, white for both chars.) They say they have 1,5x party exp rate.

1. Herbs are disabled on purpose
2. Medals are bad atm, they said they will fix it today, let's say if they keep their promises
3. There was poll if people wants cheap 1st2nd ocu in shop or herbs and ppl voted for first option
4. Global shout is a mess, I agree
5. Party exp doesn't work properly, I agree

I didnt see that poll. Still cant on forum. :S

Ok, but you agree, too, that the party exp really sucks this way. A lot of people abused it, even if it wasn't intentional. There are many 40++ people after 24h on a 4x server. I don't think that's normal.

The problem is, even if they fix it now, it won't be fair to newcomers or those who didnt have the time to play in the previous days.

Also, bot protection is poor.

mhm

Actually party rates are a little bit boosted to motivate ppl create more parties and avoid solo farming.This way supports are needed and desired chars aswell as DD's.
And about the poor bot protection ..... the gm's ban everyone who use bot and also they promssed to implement a new anti-bot system very soon.
Server is nice ,gm's are nice and I definitely like it ! 1100+ ppl online today.

you mean 1100 boxes. By the way I'm sure '.online' does count offline shops. But my problem is not with online.

Since dualbox is enabled, I see this boost as a "keep yourself in party all the time with your box" thing. If they truly wanted for people to party, they would make party rates proportionally higher. The more people in party, the higher exp rate. You see it's just fucked up this way.

Btw, by this time, gms release at least 1, but rather 2 fixes on a "1100 online" server. What do they do? Make stupid petty events for which they don't even know the answer (GM asked how many necropolises and catacombs are there and the GOOD ANSWER WAS 10).

Yes it's 1100 with boxes, but since its only allowed to use 1 main and 1 additional char at the same time at the worst case scenario it would be 550, but it isn't, there are many ppl that play solo and party other people, so in my estimate it would be around 700 or 800 real players at the peak. This server is best you will get atm when it comes to low rate IL servers. If there is one better, please enlighten us. There are 5 criteria to rate server: donations, files quality, corruption, population and bot protection.
It has best donations you can find (hats, 1st and 2nd ocu that you can buy in shop), it has very good files (off RU files that are flawless), it has no corruption (so far), it has 1.1k peak population which is decent and bot protection is not good atm, but gm ban manually so people would think twice to bot on x4 with no herbs on higher levels.

You consider those criteria to play on a server. However, the server lacks even more basic things like I listed above. They could have just decreased the probability of herb drops and give quest marks a proper price like 100k for 1st.

You are right, there are no other interlude low rate servers. There is no competition for them right now. I wonder, though, how long they will last.

I just expressed my opinion that I didn't like it. I don't want to whine or * about it, it's just my 2 cents.

why x4? :X c6 is grind to win, it will be pain to lift to 73 >.> i know its summer, we have time, but this is madness. c6+ must be x10 at least.

It is hard, I will give you that, but I actually like it. You have no adena for decent D grade on 40+, kinda brings old memories, but hey not everyone like same things.

i know that nostalgic feeling, and ive played in 3~ interlude servers, very low rate, x1 x3 and one x5, and i msut say at first its nice, so much great memories etc etc, but when u hit 2 class, and u need grind lvl to get at least top d grd (im not talking about cp/clan players or dwarfs who has money. im talking about random dude like us, who plays random dd/mage or support classes solo or with randoms , its very hardcore gameplay after 40lvl(actually 55+ is that lvl when u realise this
like i said summer i have plenty of time, but for x4 c6... full days with lineage2... i would love to see x10 server, and play less to keep up with most ppl

Well I agree that it's gonna be boring at some point, but atm it looks great and I am going to enjoy it while it lasts. Server just hit 1200 online and it's still growing, also you don't lose exp when you die, which can be good when it comes to PVP, it will encourage ppl to PvP, but to be honest I hope they will edit exp loss from mos, so that you lose exp from mob and don't lose (or lose very little) from players.

I agrry x4 on interlude is a litle bit hardcore but is right if y want to make a server with strong community how can stay alive some time,x10+ is for those how change servers per month and rush in them like crazy for lvl up and then they leave,i dont think this server is for those ppl.
If y like lineage 2 and y have pession and memmories from the old school chronicles then yes this is a good server for y.

as i read forum this server is alot customed, herbs disabled, no exp loss etc.... its not retail like. and i feel sorry for guys who lvlup solo ee/bs or mage without mp herbs ;D (like nostalgia c5 server showed, herbs are must, ppl cant play without them, thats one of reasons why that server died instant).



90% if not more, l2 community, today cant play in older than gracia chronicles, i know that cause of a lot c6 servers fails. (low rates) , its one thing to feel nostalgy, and another to play in c6 low rates. i know that cause i experienced that.
