TL;DR: L2Reunion (l2reunion.eu) is a Lineage 2 High Five Part 5 server with a hardcore x5 rate, free-to-play and "no wipes". Its defining quirk is a legalized Full Bot system. Public history and ranking data are thin, so weigh it carefully against established projects.

Overview

L2Reunion (official site l2reunion.eu) is an unofficial Lineage 2 server running the High Five chronicles at an x5 rate. The name nods to the idea of a "reunion" — a chance to return to slow, classic Lineage 2 in its most complete High Five form. The current season launched in October 2025 (with an open beta in September 2025). It targets a hardcore audience that values long character progression and classic gameplay without forced rushing. This is a community-run project, built by an independent team under the handle GM MiKi, not by the rights holder NCSoft.

Chronicles & Rates

The base is the High Five Part 5 chronicles — the final major update to the original Lineage 2 before the Goddess of Destruction era. High Five includes the full class roster (subclasses included), the Olympiad, castle sieges, Hellbound, Freya, Lindvior, plus deep crafting and Epic Bosses. An x5 rate means XP, SP and Adena come in five times faster than retail — one of the lowest rates in the scene. For context, most popular community servers run x20–x500. The x5 choice is deliberate: it is built for players who value every level and every piece of gear.

Features

  • High Five Part 5 chronicles — the full content of the final classic-era L2 update.
  • x5 rate — one of the most hardcore options on the scene.
  • Full Bot system — legalized bot use for automated play and farming.
  • No Wipes — stable progress is promised, with no forced resets.
  • Access model — Free-to-Play.

Criticism

L2Reunion is an unofficial server with no link to the game's publisher. The usual caveats of the Lineage 2 server scene apply: no guarantee that characters or payments are preserved, and full dependence on the decisions of a private team. The legalized bot system deserves special attention. On one hand it lowers the barrier to entry and simplifies farming; on the other it reshapes balance and social dynamics. Where botting is official, live players compete with automated characters, which often warps the economy and devalues achievements. Information on independent ranking sites is limited, which makes it hard to judge the real online population and reputation. Details about the team and the project's history before 2025 are almost absent from public sources.

Alternatives

If you want a stable, long-term project with a transparent track record and a large online population, look at Scryde — running since 2015, with millions of accounts and several game worlds and no forced wipes. A detailed parameter comparison is available in the comparison table.
