➡️ **Opening September 27 at 19:00 (UTC +3)** ➡️ **Open Beta Test from September 23** # What’s New This Season? This is just a short preview of the most exciting changes and updates. A patch note with balance change will be posted later in this thread – [one topic with all patchnotes history from 2022 year](https://forum.lineage2dex.com/threads/16724/) * **EXP/SP x25** - Over the past few seasons, our servers were drifting closer to a mid-rate style. And hard to call it now pure PVP server. That’s why we’ve reduced EXP/SP rates from x50 to x25 – making progression smoother, more balanced, and more in line with the mid-rate identity. * **Improved Olympiad matchmaking** – opponents will be matched by strength, making feeding much harder. * **K/D stats for CC** – track your real impact! * **New In-Game Shop Interface** - no more running to NPCs for supplies – buy everything directly from the interface. NPC Astarte will now only handle services like WH, sales, LS insertion, etc. * **Balance Adjustments** - small but important tweaks for a smoother PvP experience (details in patch notes). * **Replica Instance System Reworked** - now you can choose from 3 instance types: PvP Instance – biggest rewards (everyone spawns together for mass PvP). CC Instance – private instance for your CC. Party Instance – private instance for your party. Also, upgrading replicas now requires not only fragmetns but also real jewelry from B to S grades. * **Dino Island Returns** - back by popular demand: Dark Zone (PvP) and Light Zone (PvE). * **Newbie Pass Questline** - available at character creation – helps you get familiar with the server and make start progression faster. ## Full announce - [read on forum](https://forum.lineage2dex.com/threads/16723/)
