Hello, L2Cerberus Team is proud to introduce our new project. As a team we learned a lot thanks to our 1st project L2Cerberus x15 that some of you could see. It was up for 10 months and average online was changing many times in those days from about 700-800 online in better days to about 300 online at the end.
When it came to that, we decided its not really good enough for us, we realised also that we did some mistakes as a not experienced team. But its not really time and place to blame anyone now.
Our new server will be running on L2DC (DragonClaw) files, thanks to those files we can provide gameplay on high standard, stability and endless updates.
Database will be set on super fast SSD (Solid State Drive), that allow us to keep it lag less, and avoid freezing even during sieges or territory wars.
Our main idea will remain the same, Retail like, in case of low rate, it will be even easier to stick to it.
We already working to check everything well before we will launch it, to get rid off all messy things that may come up and ruin a part of gameplay like configs of quests for example.
No Donation for ingame goods like armors weapons enchants buffers or anything that may have impact on gameplay.
U will find here more details and Info about changes as soon as we will decide to implement something new.

party xp = 1x

with relation to Xp =1 yes

bump.... nice server, almost best i've played. Great staff. They always fix bugs and things like that. I hope we're gonna many players to play with, atleast at the begining of the server. It really worths!

the rates look fantastic, dc sounds great, if u guys got good gms i might add this to my recommendation list:)

there is though one thing, raidboss drop rate imo should be no higher than 2, even 1x is high considering epics[from experience], u should rather increase the xp and sp u get from them, so it still worth to do the bosses but doesn't rly let ppl have imba stuff

GE 7x IS mr, not lr
Those quest rates sux, I advise to increase on at least 4x for both

x7 is not MR! And i agree with the rb drop part. It should be around 4x(i talk about items drop at normal rb's, not epic jwl. epic jwl drop was always x1 on this server). Quest rates are ok.

the first ppl then who get to go for baium will have 1 s-weapon every 5-6days, cuz even on 1x it has a kinda high chance to get one

Dude, the grandboss(baium,valakas,antharas,etc) drop is x1, only normal rb rate is increased(glaki, hekaton, etc)... Got it?

y i got it and the same applies:)
most pro clans do like 10-15rbs each day, that'll make nice loot let alone good xp and clan skills, so even normal rbs should be 1x imo

l2j raidboss drop engine is far away from off. Raids drop less in amount and rate. We had run tests and this 6x is best configuration.

it'll be still high, on most dc server it is
anw, how many box? 2-3?[including main]

main + box, any other try to log in with another box, will close client automatically.

• fixed NPE in L2Character.isInCombat.
• rewrite of GameTimeController: day/night is now switched by timed tasks, not by repeated checking, counting in-game hour and minute moved to GameTimeController so it does not have to be reimplemented each time when code needs to know the in-game hour and minute, added volatile keyword to primitives that are accessed from several threads to improve concurrency behavior, added support for specifying at which in-game hour server time should start after server start (though you can change the value in config during server runtime and reload it, it has no effect on server in-game time because it could probably cause issues with client time).
• fix for skill enchant exploit.

• Festival NPE fix and update for CreatureSay packet.
• Completly removed _charId (and getCharId() / setCharId()) from L2PcInstance since it created a huge bug. _charId had a hardcoded value and that value was never changed, so getCharId() never returned the actual charId, but the same number for every character. That also bugged character_quest_items (db table) and char name cache. To avoid further confusion i removed the above mentioned functions completly, because there are getObjectId() and setObjectId(), which basically do the same thing.
