After 10 days on this server, here is my small opinion/review:
The bad things:
Old, outdated files with many bugs and some things not working as they should.
Donations for gear open too early.
Admin a bit out of touch with 2020 standards of PvP/Competition/Clans....and L2 servers in general.
NPC server crashing every few hours.
The good things:
THE most active and dedicated admin you've ever seen in any server, ever. This guy makes all other admins look like clowns, updating server with new content every day and helping everyone.
Admin willing to listen to community's wants and needs to make a better PvP enviroment.
The features and overall gameplay setup is probably the best in any custom server ever, group-focused, tons of raiding, etc etc. Old L2f features were and still are truly the best.
Current community consists of many oldschool people and 'sublimity players', meaning the server will probably last more than a month.
This server with modern files, delayed donations and a few little changes would truly be one of the best servers ever.
It's still worth to start if anyone wondering, server is 3sided as of the date this post was made with another weaker side growing and many CPs looking to form up sides.
It'd take about 3 days for a dedicated CP to get fully geared. Sub/noble are a joke. Also, everything works, castles and amphetamines...
