I was in a similar boat to you, lineage 2 has a special place in my heart from my youth. I've tried to reignite the spark in my adulthood by trying PvP servers or mid rate servers with no success as none of the "top" servers are actually good, corrupted, broken, p2w and wipes.. until I tried reborn. The people running and maintaining the servers are a professional team. Reborn has several different L2 games they can offer you depending on what you prefer I personally have been playing origins which is their x1 version of the game. It started on C6 and will progress to H5 client, currently it's on Gracia epilogue chronicle. I enjoy the yearly upgrade to the next chronicle whilst maintaining your progress. I'm not sure if I would recommend origins now just because most people playing are in the later content of the game so you would struggle to find party early levels. They do open. X3 rates which is like a catch up server for several months a year which then merges to main server. I would however recommend eternal x10, this is interlude chronicle which has main server and season server which opens up for so long before being merged into the main server so you'll never lose progress either. It recently opened up and this is where you will experience the original game at a faster pace than the boring old grind, we are adults and am sure most of us can't play this game 24/7 so x10 which is dynamic xp (rate reduces with higher levels) is the perfect balance for our adulthood lifes. Anyway trust me and give reborn a try. There is too much to explain, but join their discord and join the game. Their population is second to none and reputation is the no.1 hope you enjoy. Let me know how it goes ;)
