Siege performance improovement:
Major improovement was done also, in the Siege performance. With NPC guards or Mercenary Tickets, a lot of improovement was done to avoid _some_ lag issues. This never was problem, but will help a bit the players with weak PCs.

About server restart:
In case you didn’t noticed, server doesn’t restart every day in auto anymore. There is no need. Server since 2 weeks is restarting only in Suturday and Sunday midnight. This was done because we can (server is very stable, you know that) and because is great help for player shops, so they don’t have to relog their characters after every restart. Server could hold more than 2 weeks without restart, but lets keep interval in a safe value. We have prooven what we wanted: to have a stable server, next move is to start see player shops in towns to become more and more. Thank you very much for your patience and love you show for the server and the way it is evolving.

And a big “thank you” to the l2j and l2jdp teams,  also to the unofficial contributors, for bringing our server software to higher and higher level.

This method is not that hard but requires -some- knowledge.

What you will need:
Internet, a Linux with installed VGA drivers, a private server with gameguard check disabled (like RaidFight), Patience.

1. Install Lineage 2 Gracia: Part 2, update client.
2. Get patched system: http://www.raidfight.com/files/linux/Linux_Gracia_Part_2.tar.gz
3. Remove/backup old system and use the one provided above.
4. Get Tahoma font, and place it inside ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts - without it you will see no text in game: http://www.raidfight.com/files/linux/tahoma.ttf.tar.gz
5. Install Wine. I used wine from Ubuntu repositories working perfect. Try the one from Ubuntu repositories and if doesn’t work use the one from Official Wine Website: http://www.winehq.org/site/download
6. Setup Wine, run winecfg and set compatibility mode to Windows XP (not always necessary).
7. Open /etc/hosts as root. Enter this: 89.149.255.12 L2authd.lineage2.com
8. Run Game
