Turns out the money spoke louder in this last server they launched.

While players have to grind for hours in certain areas, they added a pass that allows you to skip 100h of weekly grind with an instant click.

What do you guys think? Will they start monetizing their other servers more heavily?

Really sucks because I was waiting for this server for a long time and as soon as you log you notice the 60eur a month subscription if you want to stay competitive.

They also started banning on discord once people started pointing this out.

u/L2Reborn - you are an absolute disgrace. At least if you made your server pay 2 win, own it. Instead of banning everyone that disagree with you with a powertrip that resembles an edgy teenager.

I used to play Lineage 2 a lot as a kid, and lately I've been thinking about coming back.

I'm 33 now, so I don't have the time I had back then. I'm not looking for a hardcore x1 server where it takes months just to get started, but I also don't want one of those instant max-level PvP servers.

I'm looking for something in the middle. Maybe around x10–x30 (or whatever you think is a good balance), where progression still feels rewarding but respects that people have jobs and lives.

One thing that's important to me: I really don't like the newer systems like Dual Class or Awakened classes. I miss when your character was your character, and you developed that one class instead of mixing everything together.

I'd also like a server with a healthy population. I don't expect thousands of players, but I don't want to invest time into a server that's going to feel empty or disappear in a few months.

Any recommendations? What are you guys playing these days?

Wanna start a new game and droped on L2. SO my question witch one would be more friendly and better for new players. Witch has better population and would be easier to seek parties. Btw grind is no problem

Damn, I didn't know we had so many fans of this specific server in this community, more than 200 people have joined our discord in less than 10 days.

Anyway, for those who don't know, our server is a community created version of the old L2Pride on Interlude. It's a simple server, we use the old client, yet it's fun and exciting and deff one of the community favorites.

For those who have never played it, some short info:

⚔️ Castle rewards for the conquerors

🏹 Classic class balance & Hunter's Village S Grade PvP

🎯 12 Subclasses • Auto Events • Cursed Weapons

⭐ Safe Enchant +6 • Cave of Trials Start

🏆 PvP rewards every 1,000 kills

🔄 Rebirth System fully functional

If you find that interesting you can find more info on our site as well: https://l2belle.org/

See you on 31 July!

Anyone tried running LU4 on lower end pcs and laptops? I've tried the server very early in the beginning and it was awful to even leave the first area. My laptop is with i5-9300H, GTX 1650 4Gb and 16 RAM.
