Europe · server time CET
A fresh start every 8 weeks. Fair by design.
Max level from minute one. Free gear up to S80. Everything above it drops from bosses, and nothing that makes you stronger is for sale.
Season 1 starts Friday 20 November, 19:00 CET
Open beta weekend: Fri 6 – Sun 8 November.
How a season works
Every character starts at max level with free S80 gear and free SP. No leveling, no head start. All gear below Vesper is free on the Alt+B board.
Vesper, Vorpal, Elegia and the top S84 weapons drop only from instanced bosses: Zaken, Frintezza, Tiat, Freya, and seven epics: Queen Ant, Core, Orfen, Baium, Beleth, Antharas, Valakas. No lockouts. Run them as often as you can win.
Day 1 Vesper. Week 3 Vorpal and Elegia. Week 5 the top S84 weapons and the dragons. Late starters catch up because everyone is chasing the same new tier.
Weekly sieges, weekly Territory Wars and a season conquest score. The clan on top at the end is Season Champion, in the hall of fame for good.
After 8 weeks the world resets and a new season begins with its own twist. Your cosmetics, titles and hall-of-fame entries carry over. Power never does.
Fair by design
Cosmetics that survive the wipe, a season pass, and a paid class change.
What makes it different
A failed enchant keeps the item's level; you only lose the scroll. Your enchant and attribute progress belongs to the equipment slot, not the item: put on a better chest piece and a free NPC brings it straight to your record.
Every boss is instanced. No waiting for respawn windows, no one clan camping a spawn. Full runs can drop a skip key that takes you straight to the final fight. Keep it or sell it.
Epic runs can drop a PvP key. Opening one is announced to the whole server: for ten minutes, anyone can bring a group into the instance. The last group standing fights the boss, for triple the jewel chance.
Every player has a public rating, reset each season. Killing higher-rated players pays more; picking on weaker ones pays almost nothing. Rewards split by who actually did the work.
Flag yourself for ×1.5 material drops. Or go full PK mode: ×2.5 drops, and your equipped gear can drop when another player kills you.
Blood Money is earned in PvP and from raid bosses, tradeable, and buys materials. Fame is yours alone: it unlocks PvP versions of your weapon and armor, titles and name colors.
PvP all week
| When | What | Starts |
|---|
The day runs in 3-hour blocks from midnight CET. Each block has the same three hours.
Three open-world events at once, 15 minutes: one peaceful, one PvP, one for clans.
Two field bosses for 30 minutes, one PvE and one in a PvP zone. Loot goes by contribution.
Instanced PvP for Fame, rotating:
Olympiad, every evening. 1v1, enchants count as +6, so skill beats investment. Two-week hero cycles.
Daily events pause while the Territory War and sieges run.
Saturday

Founding clans
Lead a clan? Be part of the first season before it starts. Founding clans get closed beta access, their clan and character names reserved, and a founder cloak with your banner on it for every member, every season. Cosmetic only: founders start the season like everyone else.
Every member of a founding clan gets this cloak, again every season. It's worn like the Cloak of Frintezza, with a full armour set. Kamael wear it in the clan's colours.
Letters and digits, up to 16, same rules as in game.
In-game crestsClan crest 16 × 12 and alliance crest 8 × 12, 256 colours: the BMPs the High Five client takes. The clan leader registers the clan crest once the clan reaches level 3.
Clan crest clan leader, clan level 3
Alliance crest alliance leader
Paste the banner code into your application. Applications close Sunday 1 November.
Accepted founding clans hang their banners here.
FAQ
The Lineage II High Five client plus our small patch. The download and install guide go up before the open beta.
There's nothing to level: you start at max level with free S80 gear. What matters is boss runs, materials and PvP.
No gear, materials, boosts, keys or adena are sold; see the pledge above. Premium Coins are tradeable, so one player can sell them to another for adena. We say that openly because we'd rather be honest than pretend nobody can.
The world wipes: characters, items, adena. Cosmetics, titles, hall-of-fame entries and unspent Premium Coins carry over.
Yes. Gear below Vesper is free, Territory Wars and events take everyone, open-world PvP pays by rating, and Olympiad is 1v1. Bosses and sieges are where groups and clans come in.
Europe. Server time is CET.
Botting and real-money trading of adena or items are banned.
