New or going back to lineage2?
well, since it has changed a lot when C3 hit theys some new info, thats really nice to know
and C4 is coming out soon 
i hope a Free Big expansion as every cronicle is and wil bel in the future...
http://www.lineage2.com/guide/bonuses.html
if you start up a lvl 1 character the first toon on a new Server you get all thoes bonnsus...
free buffs and able to exchange your weapon and armor/jewels up to higher stuff...
http://www.lineage2.com/Knowledge/sevensigns.html
then theys the Seven Sign info, where everyone almost go know to find partys, inside the dungons...
they´s info about Seal Stones, you can get Ancient Adean for and buy items for em,
and blacksmith off mammon where you can change a D grade weapon all the way up to C grade lvl...
Clan: if your complety new to the game or came back, then i recommend you to search for a clan at very low lvls yes 20+ or even lower, so you always have it easier to find party´s in your own clan 
:
When you hunt you shoulden´t spam Soulshots/SpirtShouts or potions all the time, in solo or in a party; it drain most off the adena you can earn (Adena is like gold in other games...) so you end up with some crappy gear in much higher lvl´s// you might see other player´s do it, in a party, or soloer´s but most wont mind if you tell em you cant afford it...
Quest: if your new every quest is almost worth it, the data about quests on lineage2 Fan site´s are mostly incorrect on the low lvl quests; cause they got boosted in rewards, its defeintly worth going for 1 time quests as a new player...
Yes the game accetly have lots off quests...
http://lineage.warcry.com/db/quests.php good info for classchanges quests, but not correct info always...
Grind: yes the game has a very very very long grind, and if you solo a lot, with newbie gear it seem even longer cause you be forcred to sit almost after each 5-10 mobs or something...
but maybe solo is your thing, but with newbie gear its gonna lead to a lot off downtime, at low lvls, and wont change before you reach lvl 40 and depends on the class you choose at 40
Party: a party is always, nice but not all feel that way... if you at least get a good party set up with no lvl diffrence greater then 5 higher or lower on each player (Would Be Best for exp), they wont be as much downtime as soloing, and the exp is good enof cause Bonus % are Apllied to partys pr Group Member...
aldo if you have clan members, being 10 lvls higher or less shoulden´t matter take em in or join your clan mate´s to have some fun a party is almost better then no party 
Classes: well be 100% sure about the class you; pick already at lvl 20 theys your first class change quests witch basicly gives your fewer options at the lvl 40 class change quests...
if your not sure what gear to go for, for your class, ask someone in your clan or read Forum´s...
do not reroll (Dumping your first toon, stripping it and take all the gear), the game will just seem more endless, cause you start over...
but yere if you wanna have sevral characters go ahead, it can be done many have more characters on they accounts...
http://www.lineage2.com/guide/race_human_skill.html here you can see the skills for each class, anything else isent should be avoided, use the 2 Fan Sites;
plz use search before posting a new topic theys sevreal, topics about each class you just have to find em
www.l2orphus.com Fan Site
www.l2blah.com Fan Site
PvP: http://www.lineage2.com/Knowledge/cp.html PK=Player Killing
It has Castle Siege, Clan Wars and such the exp Death from another player in a Castle Siege or in a Clan War should only be one-quarter off normal death...
yes you can get PKed almost anywhere, excpet Citys and other safe zones... at your first PK´s when you go Red its dosent seem you have such a high chance to drop weapons upon death being red
you migth be unlucky and run into someone 52+ charcater that had a bad day, and just goes on killing spree on everything, the best you can do:
When you see Reds and your low lvl is either Run, or Stay Passive, if you start hunting a Red player you migth end up Dead in 1 hit;
aldo its mostly esay to see what lvl´s Red´s are just check some Screen Shots off Grades D = 20-40// C 40-52// B 52-61// A 61-++ but some pkers just have noob gear on but they still 1 hit you depending on they lvl, and yours
They is Arenas in Lineage2 with no death peantlys if you wanna pvp aginst a friend or something....
Where to Hunt: Lineage2 is a okay big World, and they´s sevral diffrent places to go to lvl up on same lvls... but mainly most Party Players, will gather up one place and hunt they over and over,
but clans are always nice to have, if you wanna Hunt A specfic place to get a feeling of Vareity, when you hunt...
Death: dying as white, up to lvl 51 you lose around 8% exp pr death, aldo theys Rezecrutiers in the game Healer/buffers get lvl 10% rezecrution at 20 then again lvl 2 at 20% in lvl 30 (you get 20% restored back from the 8%) after 52 you should only lose 4% exp pr death...
higher lvl Bishops, Elven Elders get higher %...
upon Death as white, you have a chance off droping items inside your inventory, so always remember to stash em in the wharehouse; also goes for Equipped stuff some will give back the items, but still some wont ...
upon Death as Red its complety a Diffrent story so be carefull...
they´s also 100% Rez Scrolls for players but they cost around 1m, depends on the server you play on
also 100% Pet Rez Scrolls, that can only be used on Pets... Cost 6000 Ancient Adena...
Pets:
Wolf´s are a great compainon if you wanna solo, but it needs gear like your own character... (on a side note the wolf guides can be Incorrect on the questions, whats right and false...)
Hatcling´s well you can ride em if you can lvl em all the way to 55 but a hatcling will be time consuming and will cost a lot...
Bots: yes the games has Bots Sadly, most off em are Farmer Bots, they used a program Refared to as L2walker, once you played a little you quiclky notice the Diffrence between a botter and non botter...
Bot Party´s useally stick to some placeses over and over; so just avoid thoes if you can...
on a side note; if theys a whole Bot Train then flaggin on the Leader off the bots will make em to leave the room; (Somtimes) Killing the Leader bot will get the other Bot Follewers to log out
Servers: they´s really a Big Diffrence on the server you choose on Politics, such bla bla bla bla, witch clan Step´s on all or if they is no clan like that... i recommend you do a lot off Research about a server:P
Economy: Money is Adena in Lineage2, so 1k means 1000 Adena so 1kk means 1m adena...
its very hard to earn adena in Lineage2 either Manor System is good;
or you could lvl a Dwarf to 20 and go Artisian with him to sell D SoulShots if you can afford the Elecrtiry to have a comp up 24/7 to sell SS...
theys also Ebay, well if you use it dont overdo it; well just dont 
www.l2wh.com great site with drop informations, and server prices... either you pay 10$ a year for membership or download they program and run it once in a while: its not a keylogger...
Raid Bosses = RB: They is a lot off Rb in lineage2 you can almost find a Rb at all lvls from 20 to 78...
they fun to hunt, give good exp and drops; but reqiures 15 or a lot more players to kill.
But if your 9 lvls and above you get Petrified and Silenced lvl 99, and no drops if the Raid boss gets killede, so remember to find out a Raidboss lvl before you gather a Group/s to kill it...
Scammers/ The Do and Dont´s
1/ Always check prices for a item when you buy or trying to sell something to another player
2/ Always remember to double check price to see if its really set right
3/ You shoulden´t borrow your gear to anyone you dont know in Real Life they might run off with it
4/ If you give your items to anyone, be sure to check they player name; that it is your right friend...
5/ Never Hit anyone that asks for it, you be flagged and then liekly killede
6/ Trainers, are high lvl players that try to train 20 or more mobs on to Party´s for they gear if anyone says RUN in your party, you better run theys no Survial chance aginst 20 mobs that suddenly flocks on you

PK: if you have under 5 Player Kills you wont drop items...
Theys a quest to lower your PK count it either start off in Waselands if you take the teleport from gludin village to wastelands; then talk to the Black Jugde: Theys also 1 Black Jugde Floren Village...
The 1 in Wastelands will send you to find Crhona Wiseman hes inside Wastelands standing between 2 Pillars that almost looks the same:
he send you off to kill a Tyrant Kingpin for its Heart this mob is Agressive and lvl 35, you find em from his position going South/West after that you, talk to Chrona Wiseman again and he send you to Black Jugde once more in Wastelands around the Wagons...
the Black Jugde will send you to Giran Castle Towns Blacksmith to craft a item you need following Ingredints
1 Blacksmiths Frame = not sure
5 Steel = 3k depeing on server for each
2 Adimmantioum Nuggets = Not sure
10 Silver Nuggets = around 400 adena for each
5 Cokes = Around 2k adean for each
after you gathred all the Maths you go back to the Giran Blacksmith and he make a item Weight 800, its a Pet the Sin Eater, it needs Wolf´s food and will Drain all your exp you get until it lvled once, when it reached 1 lvl you bring it back to Black Jugde and she Decrease your Pk count bye 1
doh i had to change it all... sry everyone last time i start a topic after being awake for 20 hours
Hi
I'm in the process of 'going back' to lineage 2, but i've run into some trouble, maybe you could help?
I've installed the game, I have enough space for it + its updates, and also have a good ADSL capacity, but everytime I try connect to the game it fails!
I keep getting a pop up error saying "The connection to the update server has been terminated." It's been some months since I played it, actually I think I quit a month into C2! So I'm wondering, has the IP adress changed? Even if it has where would I find the new one, and how would I change it?
Or are there new ports needed for it? If so could you let me know what they are? I've browsed through endless fansites to try find them but the sites seem a little out of date.
Thanks!
<- This smiley is to cute!
can´t help you much sry
but have you tried to Run File Check?; or Reinstalled the game and then updatet it?
Well I can't connect to the server full stop! As soon as the news blogger pops up so does the error message, and then I can't do much else except press OK, which in turn close the app
Anyway thanks, i'll try asking else where
Try the official forums tech help

Good Luck!
Cronicle C4 should be out soon i hope its a Big Expansion witch is free
This Happened to me once.
What I had to do, is when the update window came up, I clicked Start right away. And it worked, and then after that it could update normally.
Maybe this will work.
An excellent post Sorrowho. I am thinking about giving L2 another try. I had a couple of mid thirties when I left and a couple of twenty somethings. A very nice informative post for those of us who have been away for quite some time.
