Lineage II: Gracia Epilogue

Website: Under Construction
Forums: http://www.serpentl2.com/forum
Release Date: To Be Announced

Serpent Gaming Network is a free Lineage II gaming service running Java based files developed by the Lineage II Dragon Claw team (L2DC). We will be hosting a low rate (4x) PvE and a (proposed) mid rate (20x) PvP systems running the Gracia Epilogue chronicle. It will be hosted in Germany but the server will be International, however all open chats (including Hero Chat) must be done in English.

The log-in and gaming systems are hosted on separate hardware locations, as is the website and forums. This is to reduce the problems of lag as much as possible without sacrificing the enjoyment of the game. Our databases are automatically backed up every day and stored on a remote file storage system apart from the main database server to prevent data loss; at the most you will lose 1 day of game time in the event of a devastating system crash.

Here are the proposed rates and features; they are subject to change before going live:


Image

BARTZ (4x):

Rates:

    XP/SP: 4x
    Drop/Spoil: 4x
    Adena: 4x
    Quest Drop: 2x
    Manor: 1x
    Pet XP: 2x
    Raid Boss: 1x
    Common Item: 3x
    Fishing: 2x

Quest Reward Rates:

    Repeatable Quests: 1x Adena / 1x Items
    One Time Quests: 2x Adena / 1x Items / 2x XP / 2x SP

MAIN FEATURES:

    Safe Enchant: Weapons +3 / Armor & Jewelry: +4
    Max Enchant: +16
    No Item Donations
    Trade Channel is Global
    All Class Quests Must be Completed
    Vitality
    Retail Buff Times
    No GM Shop
    No NPC Buffer
    Gear from “B” Grade up must be crafted

SPECIAL FEATURES (Bartz):

    Grand Wedding Ceremony

GRAND WEDDING is a brand new in game feature that is unlike the old Wedding System. Unlike the old wedding system this one takes it to completely new heights as it goes beyond the normal “Go to the NPC; pay the fee and your married.” Instead you are treated to a complete wedding ceremony, complete with honor guard, NPC guests and the option to have normal players sign up as guests. If you meet the necessary requirements you and your guests are teleported to Fantasy Island. But the best feature is the built in panning-camera “cut-scene” system similar to when one of the Epic Bosses awakens that is used in between scenes. The bride and groom have to interact with the Grand Wedding Priest when he asks them the “Do you..” question, then when it is over you are each presented with a special gift compliments of the Serpent L2 System.

ERICA (20x):

This server is not yet finalized and I do not even know if we will have it. If players do decide (by poll) to want it then it will go online 1 or 2 months after Bartz.

Rates:

    XP/SP: 20x
    Drop/Spoil: 10x
    Adena: 10x
    Quest Drop: 20x
    Manor: 2x
    Pet XP: 10x
    Raid Boss: 1x
    Common Item: 10x
    Fishing: 4x

Quest Reward Rates:

    Repeatable Quests: 4x Adena / 2x Items
    One Time Quests: 6x Adena / 2x Items / 4x XP / 4x SP

MAIN FEATURES:

    Safe Enchant: Weapons +5 / Armor & Jewelry: +6
    Max Enchant: +25
    Special Token Donation System (Donation Gear)
    Trade Channel is Global
    First and Second Classes Free via Automatic Class Master
    Third Class, Sub-Class & Nobless quests must be completed
    No Vitality
    Retail Buff Times
    GM Shop up to “A” Grade (Sold for Adena)
    No NPC Buffer

GM SHOP will have the normal items such as shots, potions and standard gear for sale except SA items which you must get on your own. There will be no quest items, enchant scrolls and a limit selection of potions that will consist mostly for healing.

Donation Gear is not like normal gear as you receive a Token that you can redeem at the NPC to receive “S”, “S80” and “S84” gear. However, anything from the Donation Section has been reworked so that once you buy something it is bound to the character who bought it; you cannot drop, trade or sell it. This was done to prevent any form on unbalance to the system since only that character can use it; the only two things you CAN do is store it in your warehouse or destroy it.

Note: The DONATION GEAR is just a planned idea and is still in the planning stages; what you see might not be the final decision. This feature will depend mostly on player feedback before I make a final decision. If there seems to be any problems with it then this feature will not be used and no item donations will be used instead.

You can breath easy.. all dual boxing is forbidden except for having 1 offline shop. This stated in the info for the server, read it again and see. :)

We will be using a new anti dual-boxing system that one of the L2DC coders has created. Already tested it and it works great! Best anti dual-box system I have ever seen.

And.... umm.. you're not too excited are you? :lol:

being an asshole is not cool

tbh i dont think sl2r will get populated fast simply because it offers a great place to play but only for grown hardcore players
14yo kiddos that have quadcore imba pcs or 25 yo nolifer overgrown guys living with their parrents would just log full buff boxes and be haxor farming in solo
the project is great(the only thing i dont like is the non retail safe ench on the x20 but thats just me) and im gona give a try to the x20
ill be most likely ol/se if i find some1 to play with or ill stick to a dd/tank class

btw any rewards for those events?

I do not think he was trying to be an asshole, I think he was just trying to be sarcastic mostly because he is showing an interest in my server.

The problem with retail-like servers offering low rates is that they will never be attractive to younger players as it takes too long to do anything in their opinion. Players want to be level 80 with top grade gear and not have to do anything to earn it, then just go around mindlessly PvP'ing anyone they see.

If I had the money backing I would use my Interlude L2OFF files instead of Java but like Java I have been seeing more L2OFF based servers appearing (not that I have found any of them interesting). I do have amazing L2OFF files with the updated protection fixes but as I said running and maintaining them can get expensive. :)

The non-retail enchant rates on the x20 is like that because basically in my opinion mid rate servers with rates like 20x and item shops are not retail-like to begin with.

Player feedback needed... :)

Okay, I have been considering switching from L2DC (Epilogue) to L2OFF (Interlude) and running a single 4x server to start with.

So I will ask the people who are interested, which system would you prefer?

L2DC Epilogue:
Old players who were with me when my servers were running before will know about L2DC files and how well they are done. New people who have heard of L2DC files will also know what an amazing project this is. The development team has even started adding the famous Clan Airship system missing from L2j systems.


L2OFF Interlude:
I already have the L2OFF files running (some of the best you can buy) on a closed system for testing and I am very impressed with them. So far from what I can see the ONLY thing not working as C6 retail is the global Freight System; you have to pick up your freight where you dropped it off. Aside from that everything else seems to be working 98% retail, including all the famous C6 retail events. :D

Let me know what your preference is. Oh, and there will be NO CUSTOMS aside from offline shops, no boxing and no item donations on either choice.

These files are the 1.7 release (not the 1.6) and not from those websites such as postpacific and maxcheaters that share those junk extenders. :)

Well then, I am looking for ten people to give the files a workout; first come first picked. If you are interested send me a PM here (replies/posts in here will not be accepted) and if I answer it means you are one of the ten chosen. :)

If you do get a reply it will contain instructions on how to connect as well as some things I would like tested. The rates will be 4x but I will have the Test Server Helper NPC's running to help makes testing easier. Since you will be testers I expect those ten to be active, if not you will get kicked and the next in line will be selected.

Test server will open on Monday, June 7th and run for 2 weeks. It will then be closed for evaluation and adjustments before re-opening for another two week testing phase with boosted rates. When that is over the system will be closed for final evaluation before being moved onto the pubic hosting server. After that I will have open beta testing; duration of the beta will be decided before opening.

If enough people show interest and like what they find the server will go live with L2OFF files, if there is a lack of interest I will remove the L2OFF files and switch to L2DC.

Hurry, hurry. :)
