It's been more than 110 days since we opened this interlude server season.
Many game improvements were applied and we belive all of you liked it, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted this long.
We have came to a decision to wipe the server, after more than 80% of the community requested it and since its been a while since last wipe.
We do plan the next season to last longer, we do belive that longer lasting seasons means a much better server and therefore we are willing to continue, develop and imporve our server.
So here we go, we would like to invite all of you to our new interlude faction server starting on 29/01/2016 18:00 GMT +2.
Don't miss out the fun, we expect hundreds of players on this new season!

Some screenshots from previous L2 OvC server:

Many times while playing this server I've found players that told me they have stopped playing lineage, and once they found ovc they loved the game once more.
This server really stands out from the crowd, in terms of pvp and economic balance, events.. just had a lot of fun every time I played in ovc, I strongly recommend any l2 player to download and try this server when it wipes, if you like PvP, this is the best way to do it

highly recommended server, never got bored.

See you soon, noobs. Gonna show you how to play Lineage ! !

Only three days left, my mates and I are very excited to play once more this server!
Download the patch, create and account, and wait for it!! Good luck everyone!

All I can say, let's roll! New season, new challenges!

For the few seasons I played in OvC I can definitely say it is a different server
- active GM response
- continuous improvements based on players' suggestions
- very strong economy for an entirely pvp faction based server
- lots of pvp events and fun...

Excited about the new start, see you all on 29.01

For those who still not know (how could you not know?) l2ovc server starts TOMORROW!! 18:00 GMT +2

So get READY!! Buy food and drink, pay for your electricity and internet services, throw your cellphone to the river, lock the doors and pull down the shutters! Because once you start playing you will not want to stop by any means!!

ONLY 3 HOURS LEFT!! THE HYPE IS REAL!!

JOIN ORDER VS CHAOS
