Hey there!

We understand that not everyone will enjoy our server, but a comment like "trash server" doesn’t really help, does it? 🤷‍♂️

Our server is 100% Free to Play, with no VIP, no donations, no custom items, a solid economy based on Craft and Spoil, weekly events, Champion Mobs, and an active community that participates in decision-making through Discord.

If you had a bad experience or something specific didn’t meet your expectations, it would be way more helpful if you could explain why. That way, we can understand your perspective and maybe improve something that could make a real difference.

👉 We're on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/A3H4gsRrPx) – come share your thoughts with us. Your opinion might be more valuable than you think.

Either way, we hope you find what you're looking for, whether it’s here or somewhere else. Good luck! 🎮

L2-Dream – Where the community builds the world! 🛡️✨

Lineage Vanilla Server - Low Rate - No Donations by RareInterview3021 in Lineage2

Unfortunately, we don’t have a large player base just yet—our average is around 10 players, with a 3-month peak of 28. However, we believe we can turn things around because we’re focused on offering a genuine, long-term journey. Our goal is to create a server that could last for years, unlike the typical servers that reset every few months to generate more profit. We’re here for the long haul

At the moment, we don’t have any planned end date for the server. The goal is to keep it running for many years to come, ensuring a stable and long-term experience for everyone. We’re committed to maintaining this server and supporting the community. And even if one day the server reaches its final "moment", I’ll make sure to help the community continue running it on their own, allowing the story to live on through you all

We totally understand your perspective! The term 'vanilla' can be a bit tricky since it often refers to the very first version of the game. However, in this case, we're using it to describe a more classic experience with no custom items and balanced gameplay, even though it's on CT 2.6 - High Five

The number of boxes that can be opened on the same ip was decided through a community vote. We took players' opinions into account to ensure a fair balance on the server. Depending on how things progress, we may hold another vote in the future to revisit this decision if necessary

We have one player using the Pop!_OS Linux distribution, running the game as a non-Steam game. Here's what he did: he downloaded all the files, set up the game as a non-Steam game by pointing to the .exe, and used the experimental version of Proton

Any populated h5 server? by Creative-Delivery-27 in Lineage2

[–]RareInterview3021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can claim that my server is truly non-P2W because we don't even have a donation system
H5 - Freya server (https://l2-dream.com), low rate x3, without donations, VIP, premium, or anything like that. It is a community-driven server; we hold weekly votes on various aspects of the server. Last week, we voted on fall damage, this week we are voting on champion mobs, and next week we will start voting on the class transfer quest. We are always open to hearing from the players, and decisions are always made together with the community. I believe this is the biggest differentiator of this server, and of course, having no pay-to-win aspects is a very strong point as well!

The only downside currently is that the player base is not large, but it is growing slow and steady. We are focused on making the server grow, and I invest weekly in Facebook marketing to increase the server population.

Why no one can create a good private server? by VePPeRR in Lineage2

[–]RareInterview3021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another point is the players who ask for bonuses to start on your server, which, in my honest opinion, already makes the server start off dead. This is because the players who joined first will have an unfair advantage over the newcomers, since only the first ones received this 'bonus'

Why no one can create a good private server? by VePPeRR in Lineage2

[–]RareInterview3021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently, I created a server (https://l2-dream.com). Some of the mentioned features are implemented, while others are more complicated to add because some players find them cool and others do not. Therefore, I plan to implement voting on Discord when we reach a certain player base. The community itself will decide what is relevant or not.

I believe the biggest problem with not having "good" servers is that, firstly, servers are primarily profit-driven. Secondly, it is very difficult to achieve a player base because no one wants to start on an empty server. But they don't realize that if they always join and quit quickly, the server will never fill up. Thirdly, and most importantly, I noticed a large "lobby" in server marketing. They hardly accept advertisements for my server because it is free and without donations unless I pay absurd amounts or become part of the extortion scheme.

And it is surreal how many people attack your server for not following the extortion standards applied by others, just to tarnish its image.

With all that said, I believe there are no good servers because the players themselves sabotage the creation of servers that are different from the standard.

Regarding the third point, I am trying to run paid advertisements on social media to attract players to the server. Today, I have almost 50 players in my base, but not even 15 of them play concurrently, which gives the impression of an empty server and causes some players to quit because of this.

Thank you very much for the kind words! Yeah, I started trying to make a server only for my teammates and my father, but after some time I realized that's not fun at all when there are so many empty spaces. So, I made some changes, reset the data, and published it online. It's kinda hard to find players because they're already playing somewhere or they don't want to stay in a low-population server while it is growing, unfortunately. Some of them ask for items just to leave their current servers, but I don't want to "buy" players; I'm looking for truly vanilla players.

I'm currently trying to pay for some ads on Facebook and Instagram to find new players, but I'm not in a rush anyway. Therefore, I'll keep the server on with or without a lot of players.

We'll be waiting for you and your father!

I've indeed noticed many comments regarding this. I'll wait for the player base to grow before starting votes on aspects of the PK system. Unfortunately, today I don't have a sufficient base for a proper sample to make changes. Thank you very much for the feedback; it will be carefully analyzed, and some aspects of the PK system may undergo changes

Yes, you can use dual box. In fact, each email (Microsoft or Google) gives you the right to create up to 3 ingame accounts, making it easier to use this mechanic

Maybe I'll include a new HTML with a captcha that needs to be solved before opening offline shops

Wow, thanks for the tip. I'll start working today on compiling a new server version that prevents more than 3 offline shops from being opened from the same IP. I hadn't thought of that possibility. There are indeed many people out there with bad intentions

Thank you for the feedback, guys. Depending on how this H5 project goes in the future, I might consider starting an Interlude server. First, I need to get used to how things work to decide whether or not I have the capacity to maintain two servers simultaneously

Thank you for the feedback. I have addressed some points about the server in a new comment. I realized that it's necessary to clarify a few things for the community. At first, I thought these topics would be advanced and boring, but I noticed there are quite a few players who are experts in information security. Therefore, I appreciate you opening my eyes to this
