Hellbound Beta is currently OPEN. You can join ARENA 200x Hellbound Server by installing a proper Hellbound client and downloading THIS PATCH. If you dont know how to use the patch or where to find an Hellbound client, avoid the betatesting and wait until all servers will move to Hellbound too. Arena server will probably be ROLLBACKED to his original state (04/02) AT THE END OF THE BETA so PLEASE KEEP IT IN MIND FOR ANYTHING YOU PLAN TO DO INGAME OR OUTGAME. WE WILL NOT REFUND YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU EARN DURING THE BETA AND FOR SURE GOT LOST AFTER THE ROLLBACK.
[22/07] As i always said, and i think is wrote everywhere, please avoid to give your account informations to any website or anyone saying to be GM/Admin.
We NEVER send communications by E-Mail. All the important communications are gived by the Loader itself so please stay away from random emails asking your account info because they are 100% a scam.
If your account got scammed, report it and we will try to find out the perpetrator and ban him, but we can't guarantee any items/characters/accounts back. The best you can do in such situation is rely on the password change/reset available here. If you even lost access to your email then i think that recovery of your account could become quite difficult so, please remember always to keep your e-mail 100% safe because: e-mail owner = account owner.
Hellbound's upgrade details will be given soon. As usual the upgrade will be smooth and fast like happened on the move from C4 to IL. This means 24-48 hours downtime in the worse case without any ingame loss of features and of course without any wipe!
[16/07] Plese start download HELLBOUND (T1) client of Lineage2, we gonna move forward kinda soon. ^^
Further news and betatesting coming on 1st august.
[17/05] Maintenance plan completed, servers are now up again. Thanks for the patience.
[25/04] Please remember to do "full-check" time to time...
(1 time a week should work)
[11/04] Accounts with spaces in the username got fixed replacing spaces with : symbol. Means if you was "pippo baudo" now you are "pippo:baudo"
Updates are wrote as soon as implemented, this doesn't means that are immediately operative but can be you will have to wait the next reboot or up to 24 hours to see them 100% effective on all servers.
[05/05] [NOTICE]Because of some datacenter issues with cabling that took basically all day, we will have to delay the servers (Nightmare/Arena) by another 24hours. Sorry for the issue, this delay (this time) is not my fault.
-----o-----
[03/05] [NOTICE]Monday 4th May during late evening Nightmare and Arena will be offline for maintenance. Downtime will last for around 24hours after that the servers will come online as HELLBOUND (not as test server). This means that Arena will finally rollback to the previous state and you will be able to play again without worry. A new loader will be linked here just after servers will be up again, take note that you will need also an Hellbound Client. Dragon and Infinity will move to Hellbound a week after.
-----o-----
[16/03] [NOTICE]Please do fullcheck to update clientside files (npcgrp, npcname-e).

[01/03] [NOTICE]Dragon down 24h for exceptional maintenance. Thanks at the crashers for this additional load of work.
-----o-----
[14/02] [NOTICE]Servers are currently running an hybrid Interlude/Hellbound so you will probably notice various stuffs from Hellbound too like the limited critical rate, the waiting time for augmentations and few others. We are trying to solve the current frequent crashes that are caused by an attacker (probably the same of the DDoS).
[NOTICE]Dragon: todays castle sieges (not the fortresses) will be skipped until the crash issue is solved.
-----o-----
[12/02] [NOTICE]Sorry about servers being totally unstable in those days but someone is keeping us under constant DDoS attack. We are currently working on a way to prevent it and we hope to be back stable again soon.

[03/01] [NOTICE]In the next days Arena server will go temporarily offline and after about 24-48hours it will come online as Hellbound Open-Beta. The game database will be the active Arena one so you will be able to play without issues (keep in mind you will need an Hellbound Client). During the following two weeks (estimated beta period) every feature will be enabled one by one to ensure minimal issues. At the end of the beta period there should be no rollback (if no big issue will happen) so your progress made during the beta will not be lost. Also, after the beta, whole DNET will upgrade to Hellbound too. Thanks for support us.

[NOTICE]Some details about Frenzy (updated): can be activated only below 30%HP and when wearing a sword/blunt/pole weapon. After the buff is activated you can switch to ANY WEAPON. The bonus is splitted in two half: one that activates by weapon (sword/blunt/pole) and one by HP. The weapon-related half bonus (sword/blunt/pole) is active always even when HP goes back over 30%. If during the buff duration the HP goes over 30% half of the effect is removed but the buff is not cancelled. If during the buff duration the HP goes again below 30% the half effect is AUTOMATICALLY reactivated. TwoHanded weapons gets also small additional bonus regardless of the HP level. Some examples with the skill active: Wearing a sword and your HP is under 30% you get 100% of the buff, if your HP is over 30% you get 50% of the buff. Wearing a bow and your HP is under 30% you get 50% of the buff, if your HP is over 30% you get 0% of the buff.
