This is pre-announcing of NEW season server, so we want to share some key points of it.
Full details with road map, patch notes we will announce a bit latter


Why Choose Dex?
Best Balance on Interlude+ - we offer the most polished balance among all modified Interlude servers(It may not be perfect yet, but we are committed to continuous improvements and refinements. ). Our build is 100% unique, developed on retail PTS files, and refined over 6+ years. This is not a copy–paste pack – it’s our own work, shaped by players feedback and suggestions for more than 5 years.
Proven Stability & Long-Term Life - we’ve destroyed the stereotype that PvP servers last only a few weeks. Our Union x50 server has been running since April 2020 – more than 5.5 years of stability and still active with strong online! This makes Dex the only server with such a setup and longevity.
Always Fresh, Always Engaging - Every Seasonal server comes with a clear roadmap of changes and updates. At the end of the season, the server merges with Union, so your effort is never wasted.
New players can start fresh together with everyone else on the new season. Before the merge, we run exclusive boosted events for about a month, giving seasonal players a massive head start. (Union players don’t get these events)
Endless Endgame Content - High-end activities, unique PvP events, and continuous new features will keep you engaged long-term. We’re always working to improve and deliver fresh, fun content for our community.
All your progress, items, and characters are safe — when the season ends, you continue on Union.

What’s New This Season?
This is just a short preview of the most exciting changes and updates. A patch note with balance change will be posted later in this thread – (140) Patchnotes (The topic is being updated) - Lineage2Dex | Forum | Lineage 2 Classic | Interlude

• EXP/SP x25 - Over the past few seasons, our servers were drifting closer to a mid-rate style. And hard to call it now pure PVP server. That’s why we’ve reduced EXP/SP rates from x50 to x25 – making progression smoother, more balanced, and more in line with the mid-rate identity. (After season will be open, rates on Union server will be changed to x25 too!)
• Improved Olympiad matchmaking – opponents will be matched by strength, making feeding much harder.
• K/D stats for CC – track your real impact!
• New In-Game Shop Interface - no more running to NPCs for supplies – buy everything directly from the interface. NPC Astarte will now only handle services like WH, sales, LS insertion, etc.
• Balance Adjustments - small but important tweaks for a smoother PvP experience (details in patch notes).
• Replica Instance System Reworked - now you can choose from 3 instance types: PvP Instance – biggest rewards (everyone spawns together for mass PvP). CC Instance – private instance for your CC. Party Instance – private instance for your party. Also, upgrading replicas now requires not only fragmetns but also real jewelry from B to S grades.
• Dino Island Returns - back by popular demand: Dark Zone (PvP) and Light Zone (PvE).
• Newbie Pass Questline - available at character creation – helps you get familiar with the server and make start progression faster.

Planned for the season:
These events won’t be available at launch, but they are on our wishlist. We’ll do our best to introduce them during the season, or at least some of them.

• Crystallization Rework - when you crystallize items, small chance to get bonus crystals or a Neolithic Splinter (depending on item grade).
• Event 1v1 PvP Arena – test your skills in pure duels.
• Cruma PvP Event (improved version of Skadi’s event) – not often event, available several times a week.
