I have been out of the L2 private server world for almost 2 years. About 4 months ago I started lurking here and around some other forums and saw that there was a real shortage of quality Mid-rate Interlude servers. Being that it is my favorite chronicle I started researching what was available for opening a server and have finally put together a solid plan.
I am not new to private servers and have spent a lot of time playing with L2J and OFF files. I have played since C1 and know the game (up to Interlude) very well. My job is building custom servers and consulting so I know this extremely well. I am just starting to put everything together so there is currently no ETA on when the server will open. For now I have put up some basic forums until the main site is done.

I am posting this here ahead of time for those that might want to contribute to making a great Interlude Mid-Rate server.

Keep in mind the Features list is a work in progress and we will be constantly updating and changing it as we go. I welcome any ideas or opinions you have on features for our server. I know there are a ton on Interlude servers out there and most of them don't last because the L2 community seems to have become server hoppers. We hope that we will be the exception and build a long-term fun server but we need your help to do it. So please leave your ideas here or join us on IRC.

To be continued...............

Looks promising.

Like every 3rd IL server with simmilay specs : P. But at the end not 1 of them had things of it's promise before going live.

There is much more work planned so these are just base specs. If you have ideas on making the server better please post them I am open to players ideas.

Unlike many other server I am not doing this for a quick $ and there is a reason I say "No ETA for opening" because I am taking the time to do this right. I am not in a hurry and if it takes 3-4 months than so be it.

Few more features added and since I can't edit my first post guess I'll have to post here.

damn i though it will be nice server, but too many custom and easy things ;| no need free quests, also wtf about crafting only s grd? in c it was fun craft even b grd ;\ so sad that there is no normal servers.

You're joking right? There are lot's of IL normal server`s, few of them opened this month with good community, and the dude says 50x so that's mid rate so it's natural that there will be very much customized.

First let me say that I am a oldschool low rate player that has been spending 1000s of hours on low rate 1-5x servers since C1. So the idea of making changes like we are at first was unthinkable to me. But lets face it Interlude is old. We still love it but the majority of players especially old school players have done everything in the game 100s of times including those quests. We can bring another level to Interlude and make it a little fresh and fun again. It just takes real planning and knowledge of the game.

Custom items have a bad name for many different reasons. The main reason imo is they are created to be OP and made only with the purpose of getting donations with no thought of the real affects in-game. But done right they can add a lot of fun and extra endgame content to the best Chronicle ever put out. You say easy because of free quests? There will be many other things that will not be easy.

All I would say is give us the chance to bring our ideas to the L2 world and judge them once complete and you can actually get ingame and try. Bottom line is we want poeple to have huge amounts of fun again like when C5->Interlude was fresh and it is possible!

So please take the time to watch as things develop and hold judgement until we have a chance to put everything together and get it running. What is posted on our forums keep in mind are not final and more of a public record and way of organizing while letting everybody watch the progress.

We want your ideas and input so please if you have ideas to make Interlude fun again post them!

Faith

can u write this text in 1 sentence, cause its boring to read so much btw cool mid interlude server must have 3rd prof q, sub q and nobles q, u can do just 1 2 for free or for adena, and leave rest like global, just raise rates no need custom shops with items etc, mid is fun just cause of faster lvlup, then comes interesting things 3rd sub nobles item crafting etc
if u will put b a grd to shop 3rd free, this server will die in few weeks, max in 1 month, cause it will be too fast for everything ;\ i know cause i played on similar server in my country
so its my opinion

You can grind those quests but not read a few paragraphs O_o. We will be bringing other things to keep people busy other than those same old boring quests.

At least , someone think about hiting baium on mid rate ! great , there will be no fck newbies who thing that they have subclass and they are pro : ) = No Noobs at Olympiad >: D

the ideea is great,gl and i will join for sure:)

more then half of l2 community are kids right now, what u expect?

"Unlike many other server I am not doing this for a quick $ and there is a reason I say "No ETA for opening" because I am taking the time to do this right. I am not in a hurry and if it takes 3-4 months than so be it."

REALLY???...3-4 months...are you serious???...fail before start....
Hmmm... I say to open it next year...

Yeah it's true I should rush an open a POS Plug N Play Interlude server like the other 50 a day that open. Get back under your bridge. You should read a little better I said "if" not "will".

well i think B grades on shop are enoph.
A grades are easy and yeah it keep ppl a bit more easy for those who like farm.

at least put A grade w/o ability, so still ppl will be forced to farm a grades.

About raids: well i hope for u the community will be big, but now days with the new servers will be hard,so it much better leave the lvls of raids like it is so the fight for raidswill be concentreded and will be mch funnier.

decrese also the rates , like beetween 35-50x.

makes POOL, make ur players choose what they would like to play.
