well back in time a dex bugland hb provided more fun than these wooden servers with their IL chronicle and few hundred online.

bump

come on!! any news?

I would have to say GF is the way to go these days. Interlude has been so overdone.

well looks like topic creator left us
Anyway if there is any person who is thinking to create a GF server, you see there are many ppl who would join so go ahead :=)

There is one coming. Check my sig

Pro css skills you have there on the site
Anyways - about your project:

- Why you are making high rate GF no custom instead of low rate?
Making server where player start with 85lvl char with 3x sub and S-grade eq of it's choice will be more reasonable. S-80 attr stones and epics can be aquired by standard farming (drop amount of mats x1000 i.e)


- Why You are making mid-low custom crap imba donator server ?

There are tons of players (EU) which will love to play at low rate GF (5x-7x) with no-custom/domation items. Put in donation shop accessories and vitallity cakes (awesome to pvp for) and there you have it. Perfect place to stay for a long time.

Don't get it when people trying to make l2 better then it was released. Hype for custom things at new server will go away after 1 month and simply you will CPR your project for another month or so to eventualy close it/wipe.

That's not me but yeah the panel / CMS is in development and a useable copy of it should be on the main page soon.

Just a note: This is not my project, I am just helping out with it as I can.



What I meant by no custom is no custom armors, weapons, jewels etc. As to how people start and at what level along with farming mechanics etc is still being decided by the staff.



Don't quite get ya on that. As far as I know if they do make a mid it will not have any imba donations or custom crap. They have also been discussing instead of a Mid a low-rate server around 5x. Will just have to see what they decide.

The high rate first I am not sure why they are doing it that way but it is a good way to test things out before going Low rate so maybe that is why.

I was just trolling You with this
Bolded sentence suggest that mid-low server will be
Thats all

Anyways good luck with project. Cheers

I've taken a peek at http://l2wipe.com/ - looks like you are trying to run OFF files on a linux rig? Or will there be two rigs; one for server and another for the database? Just curious. Tip-of-the-day: Use linux all-the-way, and opt for java. Will be better in the long run, if you plan to keep it on for some time. Players that looks for HB/GF/EPI-servers are not picky. Main thing is that server stays on for some time, and that GM keeps a steady hand on the steering wheel. And there must be autopickup, ofc

Keep it simple, cheap and reliable. You will NOT get rich on running L2 servers theese days.....

Hi Rheaa,

The specs you see there are indeed all Linux related but that is just a brief rundown on how the webserver environment is put together The game server will be using OFF files so of course run on Windows. So yeah 2 servers one for the webserver (forums, main site, control panel) and another dedicated to the actual game-server.

Just thought it was important just exactly how much detail and work is going into this project and why it is different from others

Thanks for the feedback and advice on the project

Website seems to be down. Is project abandoned?

Try a high quality Gracia Final server. Fresh concept created for you !
Retail like, Official files.
Lineage2magic com
We got also facebook page Lineage2Magic .
Polls about rates are created on our forum (3-7x) ->waiting for your vote !

Naahhh... Not sure of that; you've already decided on "No autopickup".... But I'm not grumpy, GL with server!!!!

I saw the difference between autopickup and normaly pickup.
One example is L2D*x. Wrath was opened with autopickup. Why Arion doesn't have autopickup right now ?

Just because the autopickup mode makes the Mages classes to level more faster than Melee classes. Of course, they are making always level quicly but with autopickup is...too easy.

That's my point of view, I don't force you to accept it.

Been over this a thousand times. Short summary:

- Autopickup gives less server instances (drops on the ground); thus reduced server load
- Autipickup gives far less communication instances between clients and server; thus reducing ping and lag/delay
- Autopickup gives less strain on the players; no need for tedious picking up. Monkey-work if you ask me....

The arguement you bring forward doesn't stand for the many benefits autopickup brings. Not only for players, but also for admins. Consider this: Every time a player click on a drop, to pick it up, his client send a request to the server. The server handles this request by placing item in players inventory, and send a request in return to the player. "You have earned...". Two com instances for every drop. If you pay your host by traffic, this will show. Not to mention added delay etc... The reason this delay/lag isn't a problem on servers without autopickup is because they are almost empty. At least compared with retail or big private servers in the past...

Btw, levveling a mage is mostly done in a boxed pt with a tank or dwarf. Only time I play mages outside pvp is when I harvest hard-to-get drops...... For example the recipe for the sealed majestic gauntlets..... Or the Blue Wolf Tunic.....
