Asterios

Asterios is one of the oldest and most renowned private Lineage 2 projects, launched in September 2005. The project is based on High Five chronicles but uses a heavily modified client with its own game mechanics and strict protection against third-party software. A distinctive feature of the servers is the high stability of the economy and the longevity of the main realms. The administration's policy involves regularly launching new servers and subsequently merging them with the main one (for example, combining seasonal x7 servers with the base x5). This approach continuously ensures an influx of new players, maintains high online activity, and guarantees that achieved progress will not disappear due to a wipe. Unlike most short-lived projects, Asterios requires systematic character development and is geared towards long-term play with an emphasis on massive clan confrontations.
