Lineage II
You gaiz SOOOOO need to play Lineage II. Like NOW.
It's FREE!
"Not it isn't!" Yes it is! Free Private server we play on. ;D Interested? I can edit this post later to set you guys up, simply say so. :D
(My icon is from it. Oh hell yes, hot elves baby.)
"Free?!?! But why is this one so special?!"
Simple: There are multiple free servers online. However, most of them require to install patches and that can be a pain in the ass.
This server here, is designed to let players hook up into their server simply by their IP Address.
Instructions
1. Download the game client from here. (After clicking "Download this file now!" Scroll all the way down the new page for the Free Public server to wait in a gay line.) While that is Downloading, go here and make yourself a game account.(After you've finished registering, I do advise reading the server's Rules - you might not understand jack shit of some of them, but most are pretty self explanatory.)
2. After installing it, do not run it. (As in uncheck the "Launch Lineage II" option.) Then go to: My Computer » C Drive » Program Files » Lineage II and click the auto updater which is right there under the name of "Lineage II" with a blue Icon.
3. After the update process is finished (May take 10 Minutes or so, but it's worth the wait.) Open Notepad, click File » Open and go to My Computer » C Drive » Windows » System32 » Drivers » Ect (Yes, the folder name is "ect") and find a file named "hosts". (Make sure to click "All Files" from the drop down menu at the bottom which asks "Files of type" to be able to see it.)
4. After you've opened it, you'll notice a bunch of bla bla inside this thing. But fret not, it's meant to be like that, and at the bottom you will see "127.0.0.1 localhost" and right underneath that, paste this:
69.60.124.19 L2authd.lineage2.com
Close and save.
5. Now all you need to do is (If you haven't had the installation automatically put an icon to the game to your desktop) go to My Computer » C Drive » Program Files » Lineage II » System and double click the blue iconed file named L2 and off you go to the world of Lineage II.
Note: For most who are afraid and think they won't know what to do, don't worry. A tutorial voice will speak to you and take you step by step through everything you need to know.
(Tip: If you are more advanced with game commands, you can go straight to My Computer » C Drive » Program Files » Lineage II » System and click "options" to adjust game settings to open full screen or small screen, resolution, ect. Ofcourse, you can fix that simply by clicking "Options" in the bottom right on the Login screen - Or in game by clicking the bottom right hammer, and options there. Same thing if you want to Exit the game when on full screen.)
Have fun!
