Elmorelab launched their x2 c1 server about two weeks ago. It will go through all the chronicles up to c5, possibly also interlude, and then merge with their x1 server Teon sometime at the end of 2025 or early 2026. If you're looking for the classic lineage 2 experience, this is the only viable option. The downside is that it's mostly russians and south american players there. I suppose you could check their english discord channel to look for non-spic players.
