# What's happening
# What the launch includes Pre-registration is available now and offers early rewards meant to help new characters get going. The post-launch progression incentives are concrete: hitting level milestones between 110 and 115 unlocks progressively stronger gear and a powerful weapon. Specific milestone rewards listed are:
- Level 110: Ruler's Authority Belt
- Level 111: +5 Queen Navari's Mask
- Level 112: Gran Kain's or Einhasad's Necklace
- Level 113: Sayha's Ring or Maphr's Ring
- Level 114: Pa'agrio's or Eva's Earring
- Level 115: +30 Limited Krishna Weapon
These milestone items create a direct incentive for players to push through early and mid progression on the new server.
# Launch events and boosts NC is running several support systems for the opening window:
- 500% EXP Boost to accelerate leveling.
- Vitality Maintaining Event that lets players level via hunting without consuming Vitality.
- Virtual Equipment Point Expansion to help players fully equip characters through the Virtual Equipment System.
Those events combined reduce early grind and create competitive incentives for progression leaders.
# How the server will operate The new Live server will follow the same content schedule as existing Live servers. That means it will receive the same content updates as other Live servers moving forward rather than running on a separate or delayed schedule. NC said it will share more information and updates about the server at a later date.
# Why this matters for players For returning players: the server offers a structured opportunity to restart with competitive incentives and strong early rewards, plus boosted progression to catch up quickly.
For newcomers: the Live schedule alignment gives access to current content without needing to join older, potentially more developed servers. Starter rewards and event boosts lower the barrier to entry.
For competitive players: ranking events and milestone gear create a clear ladder to compete on during the opening period.
# What's still to be announced NC confirmed more details will be revealed later. Specifics that may matter to players but weren't detailed in the announcement include long-term server rules, transfer permissions (if any), peak population expectations, and full schedules for event durations.
# Practical next steps for interested players
- Pre-register now to claim starter rewards.
- Plan for the launch window if you want to compete for ranking rewards and milestone gear.
- Check the official Lineage II site for updates after NC releases further details.
Overall, the September 15 Live server gives both returning and new Lineage II players a structured, boosted environment to start fresh while staying on the current Live content track.
