Interlude-online

Interlude-online is a faction-based PvP (GvE) server running on Interlude chronicles with a custom Unity client. The world is divided into two factions — Dark (Gludio) and Light (Dion) — locked in constant conflict over forts, castles, and key map locations. The server targets a European audience, supports Russian and English, and is scheduled to launch on June 13, 2026.

Gameplay revolves around non-stop PvP: daily castle sieges in event format, a weekly fort tournament with an auction for the "ruling clan" title (results every Sunday at 18:00 MSK), and a daily Olympiad with weekly hero status awarded to the top player of each class. Characters start at level 60, up to 31 sub-classes are available, buffs are permanent and do not reset on death, and an NPC Buffer eliminates the need to manually seek support.

Character progression is tied to a faction order system with 6 influence levels — the first level unlocks the Noblesse quest. Epic bosses (Antharas, Baium, Queen Ant) drop Epic Stone to upgrade gear marks to M4, while raid bosses drop Raid Stone for the M3 stage. Mana potions are banned inside epic boss lairs, adding extra tactical weight to those encounters. Dynamic rates apply to shop prices, experience, and event rewards.

The server starts at level 60, skipping lengthy low-level grinding and dropping players straight into faction warfare. Buffs last indefinitely and do not reset on death; the NPC Buffer and unlimited buff slots give complete freedom in character builds. Up to 31 sub-classes are available, and new custom skills have been designed with balance and class diversity in mind.

PvP content goes well beyond the open world: a betting arena, mini-battles in 4v4, 5v5, and 10v10 formats, plus CTF, Domination, Tower Defence, caravan escort, and attacks on enemy faction cities. Fort sieges conclude with a clan auction, and the weekly tournament wraps up every Sunday at 18:00 MSK. The faction order system with 6 influence levels governs access to the Noblesse quest and further progression. Dynamic rates regulate experience, shop prices, and event rewards.

Interlude-online is aimed at PvP players who want constant faction conflict without lengthy grinding. The server suits experienced Lineage 2 players who value deep clan mechanics, sieges, and Olympiad, as well as those who want to jump straight into combat content thanks to the level 60 start and NPC Buffer. Support for both Russian and English makes it accessible to a EU audience.
