Lineage II has one if not the best soundtracks of all time and the best landscapes, I love it so much and it will always hold a place in my heart.
Best landscapes?) Seriously?
tragic love the b est for me
after many years, i figured out what makes, me feel so much the game was the sound track, its goorgeus
@@WeaponxiD u probably like the more cartonish style of wow perhaps...the atmosphere of this game is amazing, rememer its an old game bud
Best soundtrack and landscapes? Wtf 😁
You are the first person who I see approaching this from the standpoint of a L2 player.
You understand the charm and the focus points of the game, and what made it into a game that even 20 years after its release, people still play it on private servers.
It made me incredibly happy to watch and listen to your explanations and seeing your progress.
Thank you, truly.
I have subbed and will keep my eye on your channel as well as share it with my friends and family, as L2 has been a big part of our lives growing up.
You can make big bucks if you decide to finish this and sell it on pc for private servers.
I am confident that your version of L2 would quickly become the norm among all servers, so please don't give up on this project!
Lu4-CWOStreams channel, you will be surprised
@@chikenmacnugget to be honest their work is incredible, but in the same time they adding an "own vision" so its kinda feels different and loses nostalgic vibes for me
@@user-is8nn1sb1n dont see their “own vision”
There's 2 things that are worth pointing out tho.
1. It would take forever to completely remake the game for a single person. A community effort on a git repo could help maybe.
2. The legal side of things. I'm not well versed in law, but if L2 servers are getting sued, this would get sued too. If you're making money off of it at least, then for sure.
@@_claud L2 Servers haven't been sued in a long time. The last of which were using off files. This project is using custom code. It is why extenders like ADV are still in business.
I started in 2004. basically when the game was released. I remember the run from Dark Elf Village to Gludin used to be so scary with all of the aggro spiders and pkers. And the music and sound effects added some horror too. Gone are the good old days. Now pay to win kills everything. If someone could bring this game back with ZERO pay to win and the old school vibe, it would be a HUGE hit!
If you want to play classic Lineage 2 again I recommend Elmorelab to you! They have 3 servers, one c3 and two c5, each server currently has 2k - 3k daily players
Я любила играть в пиратки.
Try lineage reborn they have a bunch of dedicated server for old players...And my first experience with the game is C4 also reborn server actually blow me away when I see the amount of shop in Gigan...
@@brothercoconut6599 - I have played reborn and it's not bad. Still P2W though. Wish I could get away from that.
@@JinxDClown I only starting to play 5 days ago...Still a lot to learn and that aspect of ptw is still far away and I'm not gonna touch it anyway just gonna solo and go as my own pace
The best game on earth, music in L2 gives you instant chills. Dion, hunters village and etc.. So many talented visual artists around, why bloody NC soft can't hire you guys all together to revive this game one last time, let us all 30/40+ old dudes enjoy it one last time.. :(
As an adult now I can't afford the time to grind but exploring Aden again without all the grindy drama would be a dream. In all these years only Age of Conan and specially Genshin now could fill the gap of exploring under suberb soundtrack. It's not that Jason Hayes and the folks at World of Warcraft can't make great music, its just that motorbyke goblins break its immersion. But Bill Brown's music is so memorable that even today you see some unknown russian conservatoire alumni playing Lineage themes and thanks the internet we can see that too.
so true. i would love to play again l2
In terms of freedome, i havent meet anything better than lineage yet, you could equip all weapons no matter the class,all armors,you could get castles and others would pay taxes on grocery, open world pvp, you can attack anyone and anything, hands down best freedom MMO
best mmo ever, legend@@DrunkenSailors1
@@achillesfearless1796 I started playing on l2 reborn x1 origins brother,it's more populated than official itself,and no p2w,no dual box.Pure classic experience
This game occupies a sacred corner within each of our hearts. It marks the threshold of our first venture into a realm of fantasy, where travel, adventure, and new friendships intertwine. Yet, it is the ethereal melodies, the harmonies that echo like whispered dreams, that truly captivate our souls. We are fortunate the time for crafting this masterpiece, weaving our memories into a tapestry of enchantment. Gratitude flows like a timeless river for this wondrous creation.
Thanks for sharing this 🙌
You could not have said it better. My beloved dad introduced me to this game when i was 9 (2005) and it has never left my heart.
This game holds a special place in my heart. My father and I played this for many, many hours. He was an Orc named Kondor, and I was a dwarf named Bubba BadHammer. He is gone now. I will sit and listen to the soundtrack to this game and get choked up. I remember the last time we ever logged out together in Gludio. I had no idea that would be the end.
Thank you for sharing.
Omg man, my dad was a human warrior named SirMick because he loves mick jagger 😂 and i constantly created and deleted different girl characters when i was younger that he would constantly fund with millions apon millions of adena
this touched my heart...
The memories come flooding back... I devoted quite a few years of my life to this game. It's great that there are still enthusiasts like you who want to breathe a second life into this game! :)
Best MMORPG world ever. I remeember I used to just go wander around and explore back in the days, just because i thouoght it was a beautiful world. Great project!
Beautiful.
L2 was not about gameplay. Not about graphics. It was about people who shared the journey with you. The friendship we created. Friends you never met in real life and sometime you even travelled to foreign countries to meet them. People who were there for you.
I am 43 now, but the friendship, we found in game, lasts till today. We no longer pay L2. Maybe even 10 years now. But we still meet, invite friends to wedings, to celebrations of new born children. This game game me so much.
Anyway. I wish you good luck. I personally would prefer PC release. But not VR. I dont even need to play the game, but I would like to have a chance just to walk through the world and let the nostalgia pull me in.
The fact that I found this video is just a miracle. It's so inspiring...
Дякую!
поищи lu4 cwo, тебя это больше обрадует
ПОНЯТЬ БЫ ЕЩЕ О ЧЕМ ОН ГОВОРИТ
The memories... the thing I remember the most about this game was the music and the visuals in weapons and armor, you could look to someone and see what he/she was using (grade S,A,B... Light majestic set with a soul separator dagger...) in just one look and for me no other game has acomplish to replicate that and is a pity...
EDIT: If you somehow can bring a working/functional Interlude client to PC and sell it to make private servers, you will have money flowing to you.
This game gave me the feels that I can no longer replicate. The drama, the crit sounds, the pvp...the grind.......had some great times over teamspeak with strangers until 3am with this L2. GG
This game holds special place in my heart, I spent literal years of my youth playing this with friends. I can't wait to see what you can come up with next for this project!
The C1 content was just the best. Nice to see someone make it a little bit more modern but still keep it "old".
If I don't have to grind for another decade I'll very much happily play this when it's ready. Hell, even if I do, I'll just stay in Dion listening to Shepherd's Flute, just like I used to.
The power of nostalgia, now with improved graphics.
Dont worry my friend, last time i played there was so much more boss farm, that i end up going to farm spots just once to level up the character. On a x20 server i just spended like 2 weeks of farming to get a starting gear and from there and beyond, was just, entering a clan and going to hunt raid boss and epics and instances all day long. I admit that the last chronicles are good on that, less farming and more boss hunt and pvp.
Cmon.. grind was one of the Best things in L2. You could be a topper just spending a lot of time on grinding despite having no super playing skills. That was giving a feeling of kind of a perfect balance between just skilled players and these which spends a lot of time on grinding. I love memories from this game, but I have to say that my love is gone since Gracia Finał release. These Vesper sh*t, micropayments etc. Destroyed the game. I'm heavily missing times of Interlude, introducing Kamael or CT2
@@MonotoneX0 I bailed before these, I think last I touch was when Kamael was introduced, so I guess I spared me the BS. But no, the grinding is absolute dreadful when you have a life to run, and skill was hardly a thing, everyone played archers and whoever macro'ed their potions better won.
But before this started, I had so much fun. It's been nearly 2 decades and I'm yet to find a MMO that gives me epic sieges and castle defenses.
Closest I found was Age of Conan, which had much better and balanced combat, but not enough players for organizing sieges properly.
PS: It's dead AF now.
i too played Lineage 2 around that time for the frist time, and boy, this makes me drop tears of joy and sadness and nostalgia, i feel soo thankful because you're trying something we old players wanted to but couln'd because lack of knowlodge of skill can't.
this is soo charming and lovely, i can't wait and i hope to see you doing this at least until high five where is the last part of "old school" lineage 2.
thanks and bless u
This video made me:
- Want to fund you so that you can remake all of the game
- Nostalgic and emotional
- Happy that you decided to take the process from the point of view of a player
- Hyped to follow more of your content!
Thank you so much for making this, it really was a pleasure to experience!
I'm super happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining the journey!
Then perhaps a group of like-minded investors needs to make this a thing. Because I'm right there with you. Carow is doing something that NCSoft should have done a long time ago.
Same bro im crying rn
Played lineage 2 a couple of years, those were the days. The leveling, the seiges, the greafing, the drama, the grind, hecking awesome stuff.
Who can forget the PvP came naturally from Language barriers. It truly was natural faction vs faction gameplay.
If you complete a client you can make a fortune from this selling to private servers. Myself, I'd buy for 10.000 euros easily. But it's hard to complete.
This is so far the best work with l2. This is what the game need, a remake with the original gameplay. Nostalgic and beautiful. Hope to see the Aden castle or the antharas lair.
Good job. Do you know about the LU4 project?
Thanks! Yes, I do. It's brilliant work.
I am about to cry out of happiness and nostalgia. Subscribed and following your process closely!!
Such a wholesome project!
I'm so bad at understanding the things you did, but the whole research and tweaking must have been tough. Congratulations for what you've accomplished so far!
I stumbled upon your video by accident on youtube and I'm amazed. Great work!
Incredible work! Amazing video! Please keep up the good work 🎉
The rise of people remaking/modding games for the better is great to see. I'm doing light work for mine but man it's crazy how much I'm seeing from others.
try to join LU4 team I think they will be happy to have someone like you in a team and try to end whole game on Unreal Engine 4 it will be epic project!
Thank you for this video! Lineage is still one of the best games I have ever played (and I played a lot fo games and MMOs). Unfortunately L2 successor Throne and Liberty is not even close to this great game (because of NCSoft greed). I hope some day we will MMO as good as L2, why not better :)
Dude you just made my night, put a big smile on my face :D Thank you
Your content is very rich, loved the video!
Please keep up with this project ♥
VR my friend!! Just amazing!!. So many memories and to tell you the truth I still play now with my son. Hope you keep moving foward with this project.
That is amazing to hear!
Wow this is just amazing, the amount of work you already put in to this project is massive, well done and hope you will continue this project my Baltic brother !
Would really like to be a part of this in one way or another, maybe if you would stream your process or create a discord.... something to think about.... o7
dam L2 so nostalgic , always play that game everyday really awesome!!
А у меня нет компьютера...
Simply awesome, outro gave me strong nostalgic vibes
This is awesome! I love the attention to detail you put into it.
Thank you very much!
Lineage 2 was one of the best childhood games, brings back so many memories of our family playing together and competing to level up the highest. It has one of the best soundtracks in gaming history and the locations are so nostalgic! Good luck on your endeavors! As a game dev I know this is going to be very challenging, but rewarding as well. 😄
Вот именно, ради музыки можно играть.
I started in Prelude. The meshes with ground with the gaps were in the game originally. They seemed to be extremely noticeable underwater water. We also could see through the world if we panned the camera in certain ways. There was a bug where we could use the camera to see beyond the current area and use the split in the meshes to glitch to the other side. We were using this to jump into Dragon Valley right next Antharas' Lair. I think the teleporters were too expensive to use and the one to Harden's Academy was cheaper or closer to the place where we could jump across the mountains.
I miss this part of the game. This was back before people were spamming soul shots because the economy wasn't saturated with adena. We literally were buying/selling mats to craft gear to crystalize and every resource was precious. We saved arrows even if we weren't bow users.
Thanks for sharing! I did the same thing with arrows.
lmao i remember this, i think u could do the jumpto antharas lair till c2 or maybe a bit later?
Such an enthusiasm from your side:)
So many great and warm memories..
Perfect 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job mate! I always talk about revamped L2 with my friends as a fun hypothetical scenario. I'm convinced that with some gameplay changes, bot protection and updated graphics it could make a big comeback in MMORPGs.I got some ideas but I honestly don't know much about game designing so it's more of a fantasy at this point.
There are not enough likes on the entire internet I would love to give you for this. I remember Lineage ][ being my first MMO ever, starting on the very first emulated C0 servers where almost nothing worked.. and continuing on with friends up until CT2.1 (I think). So much fun, so many memories..
I love this video. I also love reading peoples comment about their experiences in this game. I will follow your work. Good luck. 😊
This brings back so much memories. Thank you! :)
damn.. just gave me that feeling i had 3000 years ago... great job at bringing back memories
Much appreciated your work mate! This is a really good project and I really hope it could be completed one day. ❤
I have some of the best memories from this game. I played Dev. pretty much till there wasn't a Dev. With all its flaws they got so much right in L2. Hard to believe it has been 20 years! I love what you are doing here.
The aesthetic looks beautiful, you nailed it, great job!
what insane work! try tackling core gameplay loops and UI next. don't go for shiny baubles like mobile or VR. sure those are technically challenging but doing something end to end will be much much more interesting and then you'll have the toolset in hand to say "I made a full game"
wow, this just gave me such a flashback and chills.
Yes! That, is an awesome project mate. I never progressed very far in Lineage 2 but I still remember some gaming sessions on it vividly to this day.
You have a heart filled with the pure Lineage II light, definitely you will have the most successful server of all time following your soul guidance, thanks for give us hope ! Find people like you and make it BIG, make it real
I appreciate the kind words!
If NCSoft would make remake like this, that would be the best mmo made ever. Nothing else need.
BTW, I'm playing this game till now. If you need any help with it. Let me know! :)
No it wouldn't, just because it would still be ran by NCSoft
elmorelab c5 x3 best server. Yesterday frintezza 120v120. Epico.
looks very cool, L2 in VR sounds like a dream)
Дякую)
wholesome video, good job ♥
the sound of that first soulshot going off...the nostalgia...
Amazing job mate! This kind of old games are great inspiration for game dev.
This guy relived my nostalgic memory from ground up. Beautiful.
Best random suggestion ever. This was so entertaining to watch
Do pc, private server and you'll have all the fund you'd need. Awesome project man, excited to hear more from you
looks awesome!! well done. cant believe youre only at 400 subs. really great work.
Holy shit man. L2 was my first MMO and I was playing it for years
Can't wait to set up my L2Walker bots on you map :P
C3 gave me the best memories.....
this is awesome. a few days ago i was looking for a visual improvement patch for a server i am working on and this YT recommendation has left me quite amazed with what can be done in terms of graphics. i would love to see some version of Lineage with those graphics although i fear the hell that would be running that in some massive pvp (we know that the graphics engine suffers when there is siege to castles). anyway, very good job 10/10
Wow I really hope you continue with this project and maybe make something for those who played the game and loved it. Well done and thank you for the good memories.
From a player that still plays L2 each day for 5-6 hours… I have to admit you did a great job. It would be amazing to build a server with all this setup in which to join also. Maybe team up with Reborn L2 or some other major server. Amazing work again.
Можно объяснить? Он сделал игру на АНДРОИД?
This actually impressive, hope to see more about it in the future :)
love the giran theme.. back 15 years ago... as phoenix knight..
Looking good bro, great job.
Great job brother..we will look forward to this great project very soon. greetings and luck!
Reborn this game❤
this is unbelievable keep it up very cool!!!!
amazing work. thank you for this ❤
Amazing work mate! Keep it up! 👏
Wow. Awesome job. Huge respect of your knowledge
nostalgia trip i mis Dion , and all the proces you have to go trough gave me a new level of respect for programers and video game creators my brain exploded XD
I would love to see a remake of Lineage 2 (H5) with a new redistribution of mobs across the map, offering a lighter and higher quality game. L2 has an impressive and extremely underused map. This is a huge effort that could be done by NCSoft. Anyway, congratulations on this exceptional work!
Makes me so nostalgic ! GG!
keep goin hope it will become l3 some how
great job and dedication my king
Awesome work. Thanks for reviving my very first online game. Thats so nostalgic...😅
Ohhh myyy Goooood!!! Really thx you very much for this gift!!!! You make me super nostalgic with this video... Actually the work you have done is extremely amazing!!! I am one of those veterans you mentioned at the beginning of you video who started at the official servers 2005.... (I was playing if Franz)!! Keep up the great work and idea you started!!!
Glad it brought up nice memories 😃
This is so great. Can't express how much I enjoyed Talking Island as a starting area, think I've spent hundreds of hours just grinding the zone and twink pvp'ing.
Ahhh, awesome! Incredible work!
I would love a singleplayer Lineage 2 with bots (I have no time for MMO's nowadays), but I think thats a bigger can of worms than just updating it to a new engine.
Keep up the good work!
Very good work!
I have so much nostagia of this game, after playing this game, never again i went back to Wow graphics. From 2004 to 2009 this was my home.
I appreciate all of your efforts put into creating this game :). My MMO RPG gaming journey also started with Lineage 2 and Granado Espada. I wanted to make games, and funnily enough, after years of my bachelor and master studies in mathematics, I do my PhD in the VR field and use Unity for the projects. Those games also contributed to who I am right now :).
That looks so beautiful, i wish i could play this and im sure im not the ony one. Fantastic work there!
Beautiful work!
this looks amazing bro, keep up doing the gods work... would be amazing if you posted more videos
The music of talking island , its break my heart for nostalgia, i was amazed by the game at 14 years old just roaming arround the island for the first time and looking forward how the world would be , and omg the armor models , the only old game with true fantasy vibes
This is so awesome. I appreciate the insight into the process of exporting assets, this looks like it took you ages. Please, oh please tell me that there's more updates coming. As for what you should try next, I'd say try playing around with texture upscale more and see where that leads. Player textures, armor and maybe a building. I'd be curios to see a side by side comparison. Also, we need to see a mob damn it! A talking island spider at least.
Thanks for the suggestions!
FINALLY I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE WILL DO IT THIS GAME IS LITERALLY SOOOO REVIVABLE
Good luck making this :)
Great work !
I played this between 2005-2008. Damn time flies...
А я пораньше. Может в 2010 и у меня нет денег на ПК.. 😢
Absolutely amazing! FUNDRAISER FOR REMAKE PROJECT TODAY!
Wow, great job, it's game of my childhood
This is hella impressive!
This is amazing dude 😎
Cool! I would be very happy to watch a step-by-step guide on this project to study the technologies and understand the necessary software)
I get goosebumps from watching scenes and hearing music from Lineage 2 every time I see it. Despite having less time than when I was a kid, I still have strong will to come back to this game. Seeing your job is like a light in the tunnel. I really hope you will finish this project and earn a solid bag for this wonderful job.
Btw, do you guys have any suggestions on which private server I could play? Any European server. I am from Poland.
Thank you kindly.
