There has never been a true and complete Hellbound server until now! Developed in private for the past months by 2 of the top L2OFF devs in the community this Hellbound project is finally ready to start testing in closed beta!

I just wanted to let everybody know what is coming Server is set to have open beta in September 2014, and we will be looking for a few closed beta testers that know Hellbound in the next few months.

The server will be x5 rates.

This is full Hellbound and all Hellbound features, areas, skills are working at this point. The server also will feature bot protection. NO not the protections that are so commonly used now that only work with a few bots and are easily bypassed. This protection blocks completely all bots and will be extremely difficult to bypass.

L2Citadel will be hosted in Europe and have full ddos protection up to 500gbit/sec.

I'll be setting up an IRC channel for those that want to come hangout while things are worked on

Site and forums are under construction but the account panel system is already 90% complete.

I hope this project comes to fruition, best of luck on it!

omg finally a HB I wish you really good luck with this project
and if It's possible I would like to get acces to closed beta, pls give any contact


ps.: the 2 top devs names are hidden? or can you tell me who are they ? nick or anything
ty

I'll ask them this weekend if they are cool with me saying here who they are

How well do you know HB?

I was playing more than 1 year c4 extended one to hb, you know the NextDev,La2Guard files
then lately I was "playing" with COEP HB files, but I'm lack of RE skills
anyway I think I have good knowledge of It (I mean HB), I was thinking many times to talk with good devs and discuss a project, even I would have paid for It to develop some really playable HB, but now dreams come true .. a HB pop up and I'm happy to see this,sadly old hb servers disappeared with the russian dev teams.

anyway I would really like to help you guys with the project as much as I can, if I wouldn't be that good for your expectations you can just say we dont need u

Sounds good to me. When the time comes I'll send you an invite

ok ty, can't wait for it

buff slots are 20+4 (same as interlude) which is retail like ? Or 24+12 (as l2dex + some other known servers that used extended HB files) ?

Same as Off 20 +4.

damn, thats gonna be a pain... You will never have slot for the new buffs (thats why they changed it asap on gracia part I)

Yeah buffing will need to be a bit more strategic

mage(or +20+++ skills) chronicle, lets do it ^^

wtb ele prot fs ;D


when beta?

indeed, rip archers on HB critting for 1.5k dmg xD

Good luck, hope you are ready for hell

So it will appear you are aiming for an October/November release about? I personally cannot believe that a HB server will attempt to open, really cannot wait to see it!
