L2OKO is an announcer of Lineage 2 servers. It lists server openings for every chronicle: start date and time, rates, chronicles and a link to the website. A moderator checks every announcement before it is published.

A rate is a multiplier to the official game values. On an x1 server a monster gives as much experience as on the official server, on x100 a hundred times more, on x1200 twelve hundred times more. The higher the rate, the faster you level up.

Rates are set separately for experience (EXP), skill points (SP), adena, drop and spoil. L2OKO lists show the main experience rate; the server owner gives the detailed rates in the server card.

A craft server is a server whose economy runs on crafting. Players gather materials with spoil and make gear from recipes, and good items are not sold by NPC shops: players make and sell them. Such servers are usually low or mid rate, because with slow levelling resources and items keep their value longer.

Servers their owners marked as craft servers are on the Craft servers page.

These are rough classes of servers by experience rate. Low rate means slow levelling and an economy close to the official one. Mid rate levels faster, but crafting and farming still matter. High rate gets a character to a high level fast, and the game is about PvP and sieges.

There is no exact boundary, and sites draw it differently. On L2OKO the collections are: Low rate up to x10, Mid rate from x11 to x99, High rate from x100.

A free shard is an unofficial Lineage 2 server: it is run neither by the game developer nor by an official publisher. Almost every server in the listings is a free shard.

PTS is a server on the original server files of the game. Other free shards run on emulators written in Java: an emulator reproduces the original server, but some mechanics may differ. The server website usually says what it runs on.

Pay to win is a donation shop that gives an in-game advantage: money buys gear, enchants, resources or buffs that are otherwise earned in the game. On such a server whoever pays more is stronger.

The L2OKO server card has a "Donations" field: no donate, cosmetic only, moderate or P2W. The server owner fills it in, so read the donation rules on the project website before the start.
