Reborn: Legacy
Legacy is a long-term, old-school project following the official update schedule from Chronicle 1 to High Five.
This is a 7-year journey designed to recreate the authentic Lineage II experience as it was meant to be played.
With the spirit of Origins and Signature, Legacy offers retail-close content on a modern, stable client. This is the definitive home for mature, long-term players who value the purity of the game.
Nostalgic Experience
To preserve the social fabric of the game and eliminate the "min-max" culture that ruined the classic experience, Legacy implements strict rules:
- Subscription Based: A fair sub-model replaces the need for premium shops, custom cosmetics, or "pay-to-skip" services.
- True Single-Box: No dual-boxing and no account sharing. One player, one character, one world.
- Modern Quality of Life: While the content is old-school, the interface is not. Enjoy auto-soulshots and a modern mailing system without the critical errors of the 2004 client.
- Zero-Tolerance for "Drivers": A system designed to kill the 24/7 "Driver" meta. L2 is a game, not a job.
- Removing MDT as an offline shop gathering area and buffing area: Cities will feel more lively.
- Removing buffers on relog: Buffers on relog will be prevented, it won't be possible for example to have PP / SE / EE on relog played by 1 person.
- Removing Retail Bugs: All kinds of retail bugs (like Healing Cubic healing across the map) will be fixed and won't exist.
Anti-Powerleveling & Security
We have implemented technical measures to ensure a level playing field where solo players can still co-exist with the community:
- Adding to our rules the usage of drivers, hired drivers or the min-max CP structure is not allowed (large amount of people playing in one party), such as any attempt to bypass the system.
- HWID Locking: Only 1 device can log an account every 24 hours. A maximum of 3 unique devices can log an account within a 30-day window.
- This means you can play from home, work or during a trip, but only once device a day.
- Fatigue System: To prevent 24/7 account exploitation, power levelling the rates for XP, SP, Adena, Drops decrease drastically after extended daily playtime.
- This system can be for account or character, maybe initially character.
- Details will come later if its an inverse vitality system where you get less experience as you get experience.
- Active Moderation: Manual GM inspections and pattern recognition to eliminate "hired drivers".
- The "Anti-CP" Philosophy: Success is driven by socialization and clan unity, not by rotating 20 people onto a single party to dominate a server.
This set of measures will provide a healthy server, a healthy community and a social experience.
Mechanics & Progression
Legacy stays true to the vanilla spirit while making quality-of-life improvements to the problematic 20-year-old design flaws:
- Chapter Progression: Starting at C1, the game evolves naturally. Balance issues that is game breaking, like Destroyer or Pole-farming won't work by retail. On Signature, Sleep for example was tuned, you can expect similar things on Legacy.
- Plan is not to remaster old chronicles, Chronicles will be released mostly Vanilla, a server oriented for old-school players.
- Economy & Shops: Offline shops are supported. Yearly subscribers receive a dedicated secondary account specifically for offline trading.
- No Sub to Main feature: It is known that server will evolve from C1 to H5, so plan accordingly.
- No drop on death by monsters: Outdated mechanic that is better off in the long run for the server.
- Limited Pull Range: Meant to discourage try-hard meta gameplay for destro/mage packs.
- Extended Subclass System: Subclasses can be leveled to 85 and acquire skills. Subclass Certifications can be selected regardless of the subclass type. This system is designed to provide role flexibility within clans and groups, allowing players to reroll or adapt to new chronicles on a single character.
- Manor System 2.0: Key changes made to fixed crop stock inflation over time and time based click races.
Subscription Plans
To maintain a 100% Fair Play environment, Legacy operates on a subscription model. This replaces the need for premium shops, custom cosmetics, or "pay-to-skip" services.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | During Black Friday (Yearly) | Account Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nobles Plan | 9€ | 89€ (7,40€/mo) | 44,50€ (3,70€/mo) | 1 Account |
| Hero Plan | 14€ | 139€ (11,60€/mo) | 69,50€ (5,80€/mo) | 1 Account + 1 Offline-shop Account |
- Black Friday is usually held in November where you can top-up your balance and recieve +50% free bonus.
- Regular account can setup offline shop as long as you are not playing another character during that time.
- Additionally we will offer offline-shop service for 5€/mo. Maximum 2 per plan.
- This concludes the monetization for the server. Cosmetics will be earned from Events as they can only reward cosmetics, not items.
After Legacy, our server stack is complete. No new servers, just a permanent, evolving home for the community.
There are other things worth mentioning, It is better to wait for us to make an stream/podcast where we will explain the server concept and all its features. (No date known, wait)
