How to Choose a Lineage 2 Server
- ✓ Choose your chronicle carefully — Interlude and High Five are the most popular for private servers, each with a different endgame.
- ✓ Check the server's clan activity — Lineage 2 revolves around group play, and an active clan scene is essential.
- ✓ Look for servers with working castle siege and olympiad systems — these are core endgame features.
- ✓ Compare rates and decide what fits you: low-rate for long-term grinding, mid-rate for balanced play, or high-rate for instant PvP.
Red Flags to Watch For
- ⚠ Avoid servers that sell overpowered items in the cash shop — L2's balance is fragile and easily broken by pay-to-win.
- ⚠ Be cautious of servers claiming "custom" features with no documentation — untested modifications cause crashes and exploits.
- ⚠ Watch out for servers with no scheduled siege or olympiad — these core features indicate whether admins are serious.
- ⚠ Steer clear of projects that relaunch every few months — they milk donations then restart with a new name.
