Azure Gaming Network Information
Who are we?
Azure Gaming is a group of gamers that want to create a fun and exciting gaming community. We started back in October of 2006 by working on a private Lineage II server named SupremeL2. Over time, we became one of the most popular Lineage II servers in the world, shattering online records and hype of servers before us. We ran SupremeL2 as a legit gamer-friendly server, with no unbalancing donations and retail-like gameplay.
Why Start a Gaming Network?
We wanted to take the amazing success that was SupremeL2 and help create successes just like it in other games. The world is much bigger than just Lineage II, and branching out and providing a fun gaming community for many games makes us a better place for all your gaming needs. We hope that we can become a great network in time. We also hope you'll help us do it, so go ahead and join us. Become a part of Azure Gaming.
When did we open?
We opened April 15th, 2008, and have been going strong ever since. We hope to have many great years to come!
Azure Gaming: Lineage II Information
What is Lineage II?
Lineage II is an exciting PVP-driven MMORPG from Korea, and Lineage II is one of the most popular MMOs out today. Filled with a large world, monsters, magic, and lore, Lineage II brings together an exciting world to explore and conquer. You can read more about Lineage II at the Azure L2 Library.
Why Should I Play on Azure Gaming?
We have a record of being a fair, fun, and stable gaming community. We don't close down our servers without reason. We don't sell items behind the scenes and let corrupt staff ruin the gaming experience. We are a staff dedicated to being as fair as possible, and providing the best gaming experience possible. We're also one of the largest Lineage II private servers in the world, and we'd love for you to join us. Ask our players how it is here. They'll agree that we're the best.
Game Server Specs
Aerith & Nanaki:
- 2x AMD Opteron 2212's (4 cores)
- 2x SAS 15k RPM, 73GB HDD's (RAID 0)
- 12 GB DDR2 667 MHz
Dedicated SQL:
- 2x Intel Harpertown 5410 (8 cores)
- 8 GB DDR2 667 MHz FBDIMM
- Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache (OS Drive)
- 4x Fujitsu MAX3036RC 36.7GB 15k RPM 16MB Cache SAS (RAID 0 for SQL #1)
- 4x Fujitsu MAX3036RC 36.7GB 15k RPM 16MB Cache SAS (RAID 0 for SQL #2)
Our servers run the game software locally, and then connect to our dedicated SQL server. This setup is very powerful (and expensive!) but we feel it is worth it to provide the best possible game experience.
About Our Server Software
- Our servers run custom server software developed by Azure Gaming developers in private. We have a large collection of source code to prove it.
- Our software tries to accurately emulate official servers as much as possible, and is constantly being updated to reflect retail changes.
- We do not run L2J or other lousy emulators you find in the public domain. We do not run stolen files or copyrighted files. We did not purchase files that someone else created. Our software is made by us and we have control over it.
- We have created our own special protection systems to protect from hackers, botters, cheaters, exploiters, and scammers. You won't find a more legitimate, honest, and clean server anywhere else.
- Our server has a retail-like feel, retail-like skills, retail-like balance, retail-like mobs, and retail-like behavior. For all that it matters, playing here feels like playing the real game of Lineage II.
