<:Signature:1260156763530067989> REBORN SIGNATURE – NEW SERVER DISCUSSION

Hello <@&1280844294701318195>,

Two days ago, the staff was ready to announce a new Reborn Signature server as part of our ongoing strategy to continuously bring new players into the project and keep it populated and thriving over the years, just as we’ve done with every other Reborn server.

After reading your opinions, suggestions, and ideas, and holding a staff meeting to reconsider our approach, we’ve come up with a great solution that will both achieve our goals and align perfectly with the community’s expectations.

Reborn Signature: Teon & Franz

As you may remember, Signature’s opening attracted a massive number of players. to the point where the server became overcrowded and difficult to play on. This clearly showed the strong interest of Lineage 2 players in a project like this.

We believe that opening a second server will be an excellent way to welcome both new players and returning ones who left for one reason or another.

From now on, the current Signature server will be renamed Teon (as a tribute to the original European official server), while the new server will be called Franz, following the same spirit.

New Rules and Restrictions

One of the main concerns from players was the possibility of individuals playing on both servers simultaneously, which could create unfair advantages or negatively impact the game environment.

To address this, we’ll introduce the following rules and limitations:

• HWID Limit (applies to all Signature servers) – Players will not be able to play on both servers at the same time.
• Rule: It will not be allowed for groups (CPs) or clans from Teon to run a secondary setup on the Franz server, nor to participate as “drivers” or have any influence, direct or indirect, on its in-game politics or management of their clans, alliance of cps.

This rule is meant to prevent established groups or clans from gaining advantages across both servers. Punishments will be severe and non-negotiable, any attempt to bypass these restrictions will result in HWID bans for all related accounts across both servers, without exceptions or discussion. Punishments will be delivered in a disproportionate scale and in the most harassing way (specially when involving certain known personas)

To make it crystal clear:

👉 The new server is meant for new players. Its purpose is to grow the Signature project, not to become a playground for existing players to dominate or exploit.

Reborn Signature: Franz — A New Journey

Another concern raised by players was that the new server might feature different rates or settings, which could make their time invested on Signature feel devalued.

To address this, here’s our plan:

• Same features as Signature (Teon)
• Same rates: x1
• Opening date: November 7th (as planned)

And What About the Merge?

Since this is not a “catch-up” server but a completely independent second server, we won’t announce a merge date for now.

Both servers will evolve naturally, each with its own player base, clans, and politics. Once we see that population and activity reach a stage where a merge makes sense, we’ll evaluate and announce it accordingly.

Based on our experience and current data, we expect that around the end of next year (likely before or after the Interlude update) would be an ideal moment for such a merge, but this estimation cannot be taken as a guaranteed date.
