This page is about high rates. Here you'll find Lineage 2 high rate servers: x1000-and-up projects where leveling takes hours, not weeks. Gear is within reach almost immediately. And the game starts exactly where, on classic, it's only warming up — in combat. Each entry in the ranking shows the chronicle, rates, opening date and a link to the site. Want a fast start and fights from the first evening, not a grind marathon? You're in the right place.
The Lineage 2 high rate servers in the ranking above are sorted by online count and opening date. The list covers Interlude and High Five projects, plus announcements of new high rate servers about to launch.
What high rate means in Lineage 2
High rate is a high experience, drop and adena multiplier. Usually x1000 and up, all the way to x100000.
The idea is simple: cut the grind, keep the point. On high rate you don't sit in farm for weeks for your first decent set — a battle-ready character is done in an evening, sometimes an hour. And then the part begins that most people actually come for. Mass PvP. Castle sieges. Clan wars, scraps over epics, endless skirmishes. Leveling isn't the goal here. It's a short warm-up before the main course.
That's why high rate servers attract two types: those who never have time, and those who simply find farming boring. Log in, gear up, fight. From day one.
How high rate differs from low and mid rate
To pick the pace that fits you, keep this in view:
| Rates | Pace | The idea |
|---|---|---|
| x1 – x10 (low rate) | Slow, hardcore | Living economy, value in every item |
| x25 – x100 (mid rate) | Balanced | The sweet spot between farming and PvP |
| x1000 and above (high rate) | Instant | Straight into the fight, PvP focus, minimal farming |
High rate feels too fast? Then the neighboring categories have you covered: Interlude x100 servers — a fast mid-rate, or Lineage 2 Low Rate servers — slow classic.
High rate tiers: x1000, x10000, x100000
"High rate" is a stretchy term. The spread inside it is real:
- x1000–x5000. A fast start, but leveling is still felt. Light adena and resource farming remains, the economy is partly alive.
- x10000. Leveling is nearly instant, the focus entirely on PvP. One of the most popular high rate formats.
- x100000 and above. The ceiling of pace: a character is combat-ready in minutes. Farming as an activity basically doesn't exist — just fights.
A category of its own is the "all gear 1 adena" format. Equipment goes for a token coin, and in effect that's close to extreme high rate. Those servers belong here too.
Who a high rate server suits
High rates sit well with several types of players:
- Those who came for PvP. Interested in fights, not farming? High rate strips out everything between you and the battle.
- Busy players. A couple of hours in the evening and you're already at endgame, not halfway to your first set.
- Fans of frequent starts. High rate opens often — you can jump onto a fresh project again without losing months.
- Clans for quick wars. Gather, gear up, march on a siege — without weeks of buildup.
Which chronicles run high rate
High rate most often lives on two chronicles:
- Interlude — the most popular pick for high rates, the gold standard for PvP balance. More on the Lineage 2 Interlude servers page.
- High Five — an expanded set of skills and content for dynamic fights. See Lineage 2 High Five servers.
If it's the fights that matter to you more than the rate itself, check the Lineage 2 PvP servers section — projects focused on combat, high rate ones included.
How to choose a Lineage 2 high rate server
On high rate everything is decided fast — and what matters isn't what matters on low rate. Run a candidate through these points:
- Class balance. For high rate PvP this is the main thing. If a couple of classes dominate everyone, fights turn into a farce. Read what people say about the server's balance.
- Donation shop. High rates don't justify pay-to-win. Gearing up fast through farming is one thing; buying superiority for money is another. Look for projects that don't sell combat power.
- A live online count. Here it's critical like nowhere else. The whole point is mass fights, and without people the server is just a corpse. The online number is right there in the ranking.
- The server's life stage. High rate burns bright but short: the peak is in the first weeks, then it drops off. So catch a fresh start, not a fading project on its last breath.
- Bot protection. Less critical than on low rate. But bots in PvP zones are still annoying — better to have anti-cheat than not.
New high rate servers and announcements
New Lineage 2 high rate servers open often. The format is mass-market and the competition is tight. And precisely because of the short life cycle, catching the start matters most here: in the first days the server is at its peak — maximum online, maximum action. We post high rate server announcements in advance, with exact dates, rates and links to official resources. So you join at the start, not on the way out, once half the crowd has already scattered.
FAQ about high rate servers
What does high rate mean in Lineage 2?
It's a high experience, drop and adena multiplier, usually x1000 and up. Leveling is very fast, the focus shifts to PvP and fighting, and farming is kept to a minimum.
How is high rate different from low rate?
In pace and philosophy. On high rate you're at endgame in an evening and fighting right away; on low rate you invest weeks and value every item with a living economy.
Which high rate should I choose — x1000, x10000 or x100000?
It depends on how much farming you'll tolerate. x1000–x5000 leave some leveling, x10000 is a nearly instant start, x100000 is pure PvP with no farming at all.
Is high rate the same as a PvP server?
Not always, but they often overlap. High rate is about speed, PvP is about the game mode. Most high rate projects are built for combat, but check the server type in the card.
