Chronicles: Interlude

A PvP-oriented Lineage 2 High Five server with x800 rates. The setup is built for dynamic battles and a quick start: leveling and resource gathering are accelerated, so you will be able to move on to active PvP shortly after entering the game. Among the project's features are wings and tattoos for characters, as well as more than five new armor sets. The developers note that the stats of these sets are tuned so as not to disrupt game balance: the new equipment expands your build options but does not grant a one-sided advantage.

Chronicles: High Five

L2Immortal is a Lineage 2 High Five server with high rates (x100), crafted in the old-school traditions of the times when the game brought friends together and kept you hooked for a long while. The balance here is well thought out: no class is overpowered or underpowered, and each one is able to do what it is meant to. The server is equally enjoyable both for fans of hardcore non-stop farming and for those who prefer to speed up their progress through donations — and the donations do not break the in-game balance. The administration is responsive and almost always available, and any lawlessness on the project is not tolerated.

Chronicles: High Five

The server is built with a focus on PvP and a reworked raid boss system. All standard raid bosses are adapted to x100 rates: their level has been raised and their drop reconfigured. Junk has been removed from the drop list (resources, arrows, materials), while additional, old and epic raid bosses have been strengthened so that they can only be killed as a group. Class balance has been refined using new tattoos, and cursed weapons (LS) have been strengthened for PvP. All points for global clan wars have been spawned, and sieges and the Olympiad have been configured. In the GM shop, all essential items are sold for Adena, while additional ones are available for in-game coins. The coins come in three types: silver drops from all mobs between levels 1 and 80, gold from champions, and platinum from raid bosses. The new weapon types provide only a minor increase to physical and magical attack and retain the properties of their standard counterparts.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Lineage 2 private server is an independent project that runs on a game emulator without NCSoft. These servers offer chronicles (from classic Interlude and High Five to modern Classic and Essence) and rates unavailable on official servers, plus a freer economy and custom settings. They suit players who want to return to a specific version of Lineage 2, play with faster progression, or try unique modifications.

The Lineage 2 rating covers the main chronicles: Interlude (C6), Gracia Final, High Five (CT2.6), Goddess of Destruction, Classic and Essence. Rates range from x1 (slow, close to official) to high multipliers of x1000 and above for fast PvP. Interlude and High Five are valued for classic balance, Classic for unhurried leveling, and Essence for modern gameplay with auto-play. The filters on the left help you sort servers by chronicle, rates and type.

There are currently 211 Lineage 2 projects with 203 servers in the 2026 rating. Positions are decided by player votes: one registered user can vote for a project once a day, and the counter resets on the first day of each month. Every vote is screened for fraud (VPN, proxy and Tor checks), and server status is verified by automatic monitoring roughly every 15 minutes. We do not sell rating positions — the order depends only on community support.

First decide on the chronicle and rates: x1–x5 for steady play, x100 and above for a fast start, x1000+ for pure PvP. Then pick the server type (PvP, PvE or faction) and platform (L2J or L2OFF). Before you start, check the project’s opening date, donation policy and bot protection, and read player reviews on our platform — they help you judge how fair the administration is and how stable the server runs.

Yes, the vast majority of Lineage 2 private servers are free to play: registration and the client download cost nothing. Some servers offer a donation shop with cosmetics, a premium account or bonuses, but whether donations exist and how they affect balance varies by project. On the best projects donations usually stay cosmetic or convenience-based, whereas selling a combat advantage for money is a warning sign. Check the donation policy in the project description before you start.

Playing on Lineage 2 private servers is safe if you follow a few basic rules: a separate password, a trusted client source and a project’s reputation. Since private servers operate independently of NCSoft and are not officially certified, choose projects with a track record and positive reviews, do not enter payment details before checking a server’s reputation, and download the client only from links on the chosen project’s own site. The monitoring status on BestGames (Active, Requires Review, Closed) serves as a baseline reliability signal.

The main difference is freedom of settings and speed. An official NCSoft server has fixed rates and the current patch, whereas a private server sets its own chronicle, rates, content and economy. Leveling that takes months on official x1 takes a couple of evenings on a private x50. Private servers are free but carry no guarantee of longevity: some last for years, others close within a month. The official server is more stable and runs on a free-to-play model with an in-game store, but it is less flexible in choice of chronicle and rates.

L2J and L2OFF are the two platforms private Lineage 2 servers are built on. L2J is an open-source Java emulator: it is highly configurable, so administrators add custom zones, events and reworked balance. L2OFF uses a server core based on the game’s original code and feels closer to the official server — especially in damage formulas and skill delays. L2OFF tends to attract fans of precise classics and balanced PvP, while L2J appeals to those who want unconventional mechanics.

A wipe is a full reset of game progress on a server: characters, gear and the economy start over. Planned wipes happen every few months to restart the economy and draw new players; well-run projects announce them in advance. A sudden wipe with no warning is a red flag that the administration cannot cope. Low-rate servers wipe the least often and tend to last longest. Before you start, check the project’s history and wipe plans in its description.

Beginners are usually most comfortable on mid-rates x15–x50: reaching the cap takes one to two weeks, the economy stays meaningful, and there is time to learn the mechanics. Low-rate x1–x5 gives the deepest, most authentic experience but demands patience and months of play. High rates x300+ throw you into PvP almost immediately, which can be hard without class knowledge. If you just want to get to know Lineage 2, start on a mid-rate Interlude or High Five server.

To vote, register on BestGames and open the page of the server you want in the Lineage 2 rating, then click the vote button. One account can vote for a project once a day, so you can support your favourite server daily. The vote counter resets on the first day of each month, so the rating reflects current community activity. Every vote is screened for fraud, and attempts to vote through VPN, proxy or Tor are filtered out.

Lineage 2 Private Servers: What They Are and Why Players Choose Them

A Lineage 2 private server is a game project that runs not under NCSoft but on an emulator of the game's server side. Technically these servers are built on two platforms. L2J is an open-source Java emulator: it is highly configurable, so administrators add their own mechanics, events and balance changes. L2OFF uses a server core based on the original NCSoft code, so it feels closer to the official game — especially in damage formulas, skill delays and combat behaviour.

For a player, the platform sets the server's character. L2OFF tends to attract fans of precise classic gameplay and balanced PvP. L2J leaves room for unconventional ideas — custom zones, reworked classes, original events. The main advantage of private servers over official ones is freedom of choice: you decide which chronicle to play, at what rates and at what pace. Registration and the client are free; donations, where they exist, vary from project to project, and their impact on balance is worth checking in advance.

Lineage 2 Chronicles: How the Versions Differ

A chronicle is a version of Lineage 2, much like a patch or edition. Each new chronicle added mechanics, classes and zones. Several chronicles coexist on the private scene, and choosing a version is the first decision that shapes your experience. Below is a comparison of the most popular chronicles with honest guidance on typical rates.

Chronicle Release Key features Typical rates Best for
Interlude (C6) 2006–2007 Olympiad, hero system, Seven Signs, augmentation and SA weapons. No elemental system or vitality — "pure" mechanics. x1–x100 Fans of the classics and an uncompromised PvP experience without extra systems
Gracia Final 2009 Elemental attribute system, vitality, Kamaloka instances and Seed zones. x1–x50 Players who want more PvE content and tactics through attributes
High Five (CT2.6) 2010–2011 The last classic chronicle: refined class balance, expanded instances, gear up to S84 grade. x1–x100 Those seeking maximum classic content and stability
Goddess of Destruction (GoD) 2011–2012 Awakening at level 85, R-grade gear, reworked skill system. Custom Fans of awakened classes and faster-paced progression
Classic since 2019 A separate, reimagined take on the early chronicles: slow leveling, open farm zones, a focus on community and competition for spots. x1–x10 Players who want unhurried old-school gameplay in a modern client
Essence since 2019 A separate Lineage II: Essence client with built-in auto-play, a collection system and accelerated leveling. medium Players with little time for manual farming

Interlude and High Five have led the private scene for over a decade — their files are well studied, their balance is predictable, and the library of build guides is enormous. If you are picking your first server or returning after a long break, these two chronicles are the most straightforward place to start.

How to Choose a Lineage 2 Server: Rates and Playstyle

After the chronicle, the second key parameter is rates. They set how quickly you gain experience, adena and drops — and therefore the whole pace of the game. High rates mean a fast start and early PvP; low rates mean a long, meaningful economy. There is no universal "best" rate: it all depends on how much time you are willing to invest.

Rates Leveling pace Playstyle Best for
x1–x5 (low-rate) Slow, close to official Deep economy, every item matters, clan-driven play Veterans and players with 2–3 hours a day
x15–x100 (mid-rate) Moderate, cap in 1–2 weeks A balance of farming and PvP — the sweet spot Most players and clans
x300+ (high-rate) Fast, gear almost immediately PvP from the first days, minimal farming Those who came for fights, not leveling
x1000+ (PvP) Instant Constant mass-PvP with no preparation Fans of short, dynamic sessions

Once you have settled on a chronicle and rates, look at the server type. PvP servers focus on combat and sieges, PvE servers restrict forced PvP and shift the focus to farming and raid bosses, and faction (GvE) projects split players into two sides of a constant war. Platform (L2J or L2OFF) and donation policy are the final filters: on well-run projects, donations stay cosmetic or convenience-based rather than selling a direct edge in battle.

How the Server Rating Is Built on BestGames

We do not assign positions by hand and we do not sell top spots. A server's place in the rating is decided by player votes: every registered user can vote for a project once every 24 hours, and the counter resets on the first day of each month — so the rating reflects current community support rather than totals accumulated over years.

To keep votes honest, each vote goes through a fraud check: the system analyses the connection for signs of VPN, proxy and Tor and filters out suspicious sources. In parallel, we monitor server status automatically — availability is checked regularly, roughly every 15 minutes — so the listing shows which projects are actually running and which have closed. This combination — community votes protected against fraud plus independent monitoring — separates living projects from empty promises on a landing page.

How to Avoid an Unreliable Server

The private scene is dynamic: some projects last for years, others close within a month. A few simple checks help tell a serious server from a fly-by-night project.

Check the project's age and history. A server that has run for a year or more with a stable community is safer than one that just opened. Study the donation shop before you start. If a low-rate server sells top gear or epic jewelry for money, the economy will collapse within weeks — a clear warning sign. Assess the protection. Serious projects advertise bot and cheat protection; without it, fair PvP dies quickly. Read reviews and check the opening date and wipe plans. Each server card in our rating gathers the key facts — chronicle, rates, platform and monitoring status — so your decision is informed rather than impulsive.

Add Your Server to the Rating

If you run your own Lineage 2 project, add it to the BestGames catalogue and put it in front of the community. A place in the rating is earned through votes from real players, not paid for — this is a fair platform where a strong project with thoughtful balance and an active community gets the attention it deserves. Click "Add Server" and tell players about your world.
