Maybe some upgrade? :)

We've spent a lot of time keeping this server as close to retail Freya as possible, it won't be upgraded to Hi5.

H5 isnt lineage anymore so thats why we play here

I agree with Verco, H5 is not Lineage 2 anymore.

Wouldnt that be a downgrade not an upgrade?

Hi5 is  still Lineage imo! Maybe just a bit more easy then Freya,but with a lot more oportunities and excited areas! I played before Hi5 and I had great time in the new DV and LoA! You can exchange 5 atr stones for a crystal,you can spoil noble stones,you can spoil BEWS and BEAS,you can spoil full icarus and vasper weapons,you can go every day Zaken/Freya,you can get to a Vorpal sets eventually! The market will be more open and with lower prices,wich will make more ppl to get to the top and more competitive game therefore!
Now what  you have here-onlly 2-3 clans that has been farming AQ and Baium/Frintezza and puting RADICOLOUS prices on the epics!!!!
AQ-7-10kkk(for a freeking Bgrade ring! Frintezza-25kkk(dear lord) Still dont know how much cost Baium but should be more then tezza!!! Or Noble Stones for 5kk each!!! I dont think this is normal! In Hi5 we will have much more lower prices and with this monopoly from he old playersl/clans will be finished!
And Sterling Im sure with Hi5 a lot more ppl will join server!
I know the old players here doesnt like the idea,but lets make a poll and see what all the community thinks a bout it!
GOD is not Lineage imo but Hi5 is good and still have L2 spirit!

Dude, it aint gonna happen.

I dont agree with upgrade to H5. Its a reason, why i am here, that here is no H5. Maybe some new members join the server, but many people leave or stop playing. I think, H5 is for children, which want to have everything in a moment... :-) Its todays reality. Spoil BEWS, BEAS and many things? Everyone has everything? Dont think, that it is good way. I played servers with 1x rate - and i appreciate everything, what i have.
But i agree with you about epic jewelry - prices are here really disgusting... And people, which have everything are not ashamed to tell for it unreal high prices... Dont understand, but it is reality.
For me - NO H5

Cromm I understand what you mean,but in H5 you will not get everything so fast like you think! Yes you can spoil BEAS and BEWS but like 3-4 per week! Yes and you will spoil noble stones but like 100-200 per week and thats only with decent party since mobs in LOA are bosses like! But you will have this chance!!
Here I played 5 months and I manage to farm 3 BEWS and around 20 BEAS! So I will need like 2-3 more years to have decent amount of them to start tying for +6 on my MW set! And yes I can do better,but dont have opportunity to play 15 hours per day and watch all the bosses with 20 cams! So for me Hi5 is not for kids is more for ppl who doesnt have all day free to spend in L2 or are in small clan or even prefer to play solo..
I dont want to forst ppl or GM for h5 I know that is less then 1% chance this to happen,but with recent situation in our server with 5-6 players with "DIVINE"status and all the others with almost no chance to catch up H5 might be a better solution for more competitive game1 So like I said lets Sterling make a poll and we will see what the community thinks!

um if you go h5 do you realize you lose the 1 major marketing constant on this server? AA.. in h5 no need to farm aa cuz you can get as much as you want from black marketeer.. there goes money being made at low lvls.....

Also, people join this server because it is Freya.  There are 126987812739182918 servers that are Hi5.

We can not even get small things done let alone massive overhaul of the server.
