LineStorm is a Lineage 2 PvP server on the Interlude chronicle with an x1200 rate. The project is built to a high standard, free of bugs, with a focus on convenient and dynamic gameplay. The in-game currency drops from mobs, and a built-in buffer is available. Among the in-game conveniences: ACP, Nobless, Block Buff and an Exchanger, as well as skills granted at character creation. Sieges take place every week, and Hero status is granted weekly on Mondays. The Nobless quest is shortened — you only need to kill a raid boss. An auction is available. The maximum item enchant is 20/16/16. Events are held on the server regularly: TvT, Base Capture and Last Hero. This format will suit those looking for intense PvP and a quick start into the game.

Chronicles: Interlude

This server positions itself as "Craft-PVP": the project has two main focuses — item crafting and PVP battles. The developers have worked to simplify the game for comfortable PVP, while still preserving everything most interesting and giving you the opportunity to progress further without the introduction of third-party sets and items.

The key feature of this server is its multi-profession system. Unlike classic Lineage 2 servers, where a character is limited to the skills of their own class, here every hero can learn the skills of any class. This lets you combine a mage, a fighter, and a buffer within a single character, without running several windows or leveling up separate characters for different roles. This approach simplifies the game and gives you the freedom to assemble your own build to match your playstyle, so you can play at your leisure.

New Project

A server with a well-thought-out character system and convenient infrastructure for comfortable leveling. Subclasses: subclass and Noblesse quests are available, as well as subclass activation for Adena. Up to 3 subclasses can be opened, with a maximum level of 80. Automatic skill learning is in effect (except for Forgotten Scrolls). The respawn time for subclass raid bosses and Noblesse raid bosses is 12 +/- 1 hour. The buffer is standard: all standard and combo buffs up to level 80 are available (except for the dwarf, cat/horse, KK, and several others). Teleport features dynamic location selection based on your level, and up to 10 points can be saved for free. In the shop, you can buy weapons, armor, and jewelry up to Dynasty, consumables, and Forgotten Scrolls for Adena. Services are provided as items. The premium account is represented by an item and increases rates by 1.8 times. Enchant: the chance decreases with each successful attempt, and on a failure with a blessed scroll the enchant drops to 0. Safe enchant is 3 (4 for full-body armor). The chance for an attribute stone is 50%, and for a crystal 30%. Olympiad: starts at 18:00, with no limit on enchant. Opponent matchmaking divides fighters by points (up to 50 and above 50). A victory grants 1 event coin (a fight up to 50 points) or 2 (above 50). An item has been added that restores 10 Olympiad points once every 12 hours when you have 0-3 points. A Hero Cloak with +1 STR/CON/INT bonuses has been added to the Olympiad shop — for Heroes only.

Full Dynasty crafting (weapons, armor) is available, with stats slightly above S-grade. Tattoos (mage, warrior, tank) can only be obtained through crafting and give up to 15% to your stats. Raid boss respawn, including Flame of Splendor Barakiel, ranges from 3 to 4 hours. The Olympiad is active from the start and runs daily from 18:00 to 00:00, with periods changing once a week; hero status is granted every Monday, and to receive it you need at least 5 matches. Sieges take place once a week, and all castles are active.

Chronicles: Interlude

L2 Atreus is a private Lineage 2 server on the Interlude chronicle, focused on dynamic PvP battles. The project builds on classic Interlude and enhances it with additional mechanics so that combat runs more actively from the very first minutes.

A well-designed economy and reinforced PvP create an environment for those who prefer active combat over leveling alone.

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.
