Hey guys. I'm coming here hopefully to see if someone could give me a link of some unknown server outhere that can somehow look like the good old l2(C4 times specifically).

Basically, I'm looking for a server that reminds of the old L2, the time where you didn't had shadow equipment or NPC buffs or any of those things, the days where the game was hard from start to finish, the days where you had to count your adena carefully because it was so hard to get money and using teleports was something for rich people. But specially it was the time where almost everyone did the damn RBs. For most of us, our first boss was usually the Golem in Talking Island and that was epic! Or even the first time we took on Guillotine in EG and if it was like my party, it failed graciously! xD
Basically, I'm not longer interested in the PVP, every damn server outhere is always focused on that, just farm all the way hours straight on solo to get high level, good gear and then pvp frenzy. I'm not interested in that, I'm looking for a server that's more interested on pve then pvp, a server where most people enjoy on making party's and defeating all the RBs scattered around the world. A server that also does not possess silly things like NPC buffer that renders support classes useless, or the class changer npcs that makes the game so easy. Basically I want a full retail experience.

Basically something like this:

-rates: x1-x15
-chronicle: C1-C6(Preferring older Chronicles like C4)
-age: Preferably new
-country: European one for better timezones and better connection
-platform: Any.
-donations: Don't really care.
-customs: NO. I want a full classic retail experience. No NPC Buffer or class changer or any of that nonsense.
-amount of players: Anything really. If it has already 400 players on it, I'm happy. As long as there is enough to create party's at early levels.

Only one right now that I know of that fits most of your requirements:

Only one it is missing is that the server is in Canada but in a great spot East Coast for most of Europe. Vlad the owner is going to add a few proxys for people to use to help with those that have bad routing and latency issues.

gl playing in x1 rates ^^

plusonel2 1x, because there are no other option for these days:)

Thanks for this great suggestion!

Evoke

I look after all low rate servers advertised in this forum from around 3 years. There is no international low rate that did what Evoke did. It's almost 7 months old and its staff still try to bring new players. It is not a scam project like all other servers that started and closed in 1-3 months after they took donations for the class transfers. It DESERVE RESPECT for that. Also 7 months x5 server should be something like 35 months x1.... It's normal for old players to leave, new will replace them.

IMO new low rate servers have 99% chance to close quickly. The worst scenario is if you pick a scam project. At the beginning everything will be fine, big online, no lag, no bugs. But after month or two (depends on rates) the staff will let it die with no advertising, no GM, lags, bugs or crashes. Then close it and open another.....

Yes Evoke is also a good choice. While it may not be as busy as it was I don't think it will die.

evoke died months ago dude..

Guess I'm behind the times than. How many people are still playing on it?

actially very nice
