Please stop creating thousands of interlude servers,thousands of high five servers,communty is not big enough so in each server youll usualy see ~500 online.I know im not the only one who is sick of C6/H5 and is thirsty for Hellbound server since 2010!!! so how about make one? i personaly dont care if it is java/off platform as long as it is hellbound.Really miss it

HB or g final, both are similar; but l2off is rly important!

It's not going to happen, so why don't you look for a Gracia server instead? There are many Interlude-H5 servers because that's what the majority wants...

sure, they will read this topic and will not create shitservers. cool story

btw hellbound files are very rare, even if u get them they are superbugged. hellbound is working 5% of retail, kamaels are 300% more op than in real hb. with 150 atributed weapon u can kill solo raid. there was servers who tryed, and these bugs killed these servers. only c6 gracia and h5 files are decent, so forget about hb

Files are what the dev's make of them. I'd rather play on a buggy HB, than on any IL or H5. GF is also a valid option. There are both official and java files for HB out in the open. They just need a little TLC and patient players.

L2J prooved it's unstable, just see l2max with their how was it called ? .. "Hybrid" which was obviously full java, so not even 24h passed and tadam adena exploit appeared.
OFC you say it right about dev's and the files. Hey but don't give up the hope, there are some groups and people who still work on hb off files

And so far, I have had the best experiences and fun on bugland dex hb

This is true most of the time, but there have been exceptions. L2 Renewal for example, back when Sawk opened the HB server, was working amazingly. Class balance was flawless, with a few updates to Archers and nerfs to Kamaels. In every PvP there were lots of Glads, Tyrants, Tricksters or even Dancers and Singers (cause of the increased landing rate on debuffs).

It didn't survive more than 2 months because of the community, filled with whiny high rate players from shittalking clans, but if a DEV is capable, he can make the files work.

These current DEVs are garbage, they think that because they can manage a few HTML files they're capable of balancing such a complex PvP game. I miss the good old days when DEVs were actually good and cared about their playerbase and their server.

i bet these servers u are talking died cause of some major bugs or donate. U can talk anything u want, but its a fact that hellbound was a sub-chronicle, and when gracia came it fixed a lot shit what was going on. hb practically was never working as it meant to be in global. (so did most of chronicles.)
Now some servers have more retail like c6, gracia and h5 files than NA ever had, so many years of fixing and doing them like they meant to be by korean developers. In global one chronicle was on just for half year, and next one with new bugs was implented... so best we can find gracia final who is made hellbound, and im pretty sure there is just few servers who could do it. and they dont do it.

Servers are dying because of server jumpers. When they reach 85 and quit in 90% of cases.
Server owners reopen same servers again and again under new name.
And so on.
Most of the servers live for 3-4 months or so.
You can rarely see a server, which is alive for an year without wipe or closing.

L2 max was fail, admin was fail, everything. But some of us didnt cared and would continued to play there . I just really miss BFDE x12 hellbound server ,best l2 experience i ever had :'( i wonder if BFD admistration still have any files of it?

might have, but server is dead long ago. c4 c6 hb and epilgoue was the year that server was on top, now with a lot oh h5 starts they failed, and even c6 mid rates cant bring more than 500 ppl
bfde bfdr hb was really nice, but there was much bugs, just we dont cared, cause we played in low mid lvl, went to party to loa woa and doing sub after half year now that would be diferent, ppl rush lvl and after exploiting some big bugs server would die

I don't think so, but even if they have it, there's no working licence server for it. There were some groups (mostly russian devs) who provided these files for sale, but they gone for long ago, and servers disappeared with them ..
The fact is sad but until some1 come up with proper fixed files you can't do anything, and you will not see any hellbound for sure.

Exist some off HB files, but Attribute System,Hellbound Island and some new skills don't work.

dex had extended (from C4) l2off files of hellbound and all those things were working.

yes they used NextDev / La2guard files
which are still exist but can't be used since no serial / licence for it
nor cracked
