Direct answers for players looking for a balanced, long-term and technically repaired Interlude server with recognizable client behavior and preserved class identity.
The design is aimed at long-term progression rather than instant high-rate PvP. The current direction starts progression around level 61 and Adena is currently x10, but level range and final XP/SP rates remain subject to testing and can change before launch.
Most of the rebalance, repaired skills, class roles, raid progression, economy and connected world systems are designed around Interlude mid and late game, where class identity and the real meta become much more visible. Focusing development on 61–80 lets that work matter immediately instead of spending the main balance effort on early-game content. This starting range is a current design direction, not a final promise, and may change during testing and final balance.
Yes. Every class is under a PvE/PvP identity pass. The goal is not equal damage for everyone: archers, daggers, tanks, summoners, buffers, mages, dwarves and Dreadnought keep distinct roles while weak or forgotten tools are repaired.
No serious project can honestly promise bug-free software. The focus is measurable instead: repair common L2J problems, fix broken or forgotten skills, improve geodata/pathfinding and test combat, NPC logic and world systems together.
No server-specific System is required. Gameplay changes stay server-side wherever possible; players use a compatible Interlude installation rather than an Interlude Reforged replacement DLL/System pack.
The server changes balance, behavior and underused systems without replacing Interlude with a new gear tier or unrelated progression. Existing classes, equipment, Seven Signs, raids, territories and world content remain the foundation.
No over-enchanted donation gear or exclusive donation-only power tier is planned. Cosmetics, account services and quality-of-life are the priority; any gameplay benefit must remain deliberately limited.
That is the direction: multiple 61–80 routes, recovered zones, relevant Seven Signs currencies, raids, territory systems, crafting/economy roles and reusable world events are designed to keep more of Interlude meaningful over time.
Repaired skills and formulas, class-specific balance, responsive skill chaining, cleaner targeting and movement, stronger geodata/pathfinding work, useful forgotten systems, connected world objectives and constrained AI that cannot bypass Java server rules.
