Current Players
We are now running Gracia CT2 Part 2. Please update your client before logging onto the server. Just to confirm, there was no server wipe for this.
New Players
If you don't already have the Gracia 2 client, you can download it from various sources. We've listed a few below that players have used in the past:
FilePlanet
GamersHell
Games On Net
Once you have installed the game, you will need to update it by running the Program Files/Lineage II/LineageII.exe file. There has been a problem in the past (even on retail) where not all of the file download properly the first time around. Depending on your internet connection, it can take anywhere from one to four hours (or longer) to complete the update the first time around. You might want to consider running this just before you go to bed/work/school, etc. If you choose up run the Check File option to ensure all files are downloaded properly, it will not take nearly as long (15 to 30 minutes).
To connect to our server, you will need to open your host file (located in Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\Host) and add this line:
81.196.127.243 L2authd.lineage2.com
For some players who experience GameGuard errors, try also adding this line to your host file just after the line we indicated above:
216.107.250.194 nprotect.lineage2.com
If that doesn't work for you, remove the nprotect line and add these two instead:
216.107.250.194 update.nProtect.com
216.107.250.194 update.nProtect.net
We find that Vista users don't usually need to add anything other than our server IP, but this may vary. See below for an example of the host file.
Once you are ready to load up the game, it is suggested that you consider running the client from the Lineage II/system/L2.exe file. For convenience, you might want to put a shortcut on your desktop.
Registration is NOT automatic, to create account click here Make sure you type in your account information correctly, and be sure to write it down. Lost passwords are encripted into our DB and CANNOT be recovered.
If you experience problems connecting after trying the above, post on Forum - Connection Problems. It is important that you give us as much details as possible to work with as the issues can be different from player to player/system to system. For example, tell us what operating system you are using, what error message you are getting (if it's a GameGuard error give us the correlating #), etc.
We look forward to welcoming you on the server. Please read the Server Rules when you log onto the server. They are strictly enforced. See you in-game!

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
