We’ve done massive work on the Sansara project and significantly improved our beloved game. In this text, I’ll explain exactly what we’ve done, what we’ve changed, what we’ve added — and most importantly, why. So that you can more easily navigate all the innovations and clearly understand: each of them solves a specific problem faced by thousands of players.

Let’s start with the interface — the thing you see and feel every day.
Previously, the mail system allowed a maximum of 8 items per message. We removed this limitation. Now you can send as many items as you want. We also added a mail item search function — just like the inventory one.

Another new feature — built-in next-target in auto-combat. Players no longer need macro mice or keyboards. No more hassle with the inability to minimize the window. We’ve integrated convenience directly into the client.

We dug deep into the client and found the root cause of excessive GPU load. The result? Four graphic presets optimized for the best balance between visuals and performance. Even during tests, players noticed how much smoother the client became.


We also added extensive functionality for displaying skill animations and triggers. You can configure:

Additionally, we added the "optimization uniform" button — it enables simplified armor visuals for all nearby characters. A great solution to boost FPS when needed.


Collections are an important part of game balance, and we didn’t remove them — just made them more convenient. You can now loot chests with a random closed collection. Moreover, there’s an alternative: any collection that used to be available only through the store can now be completed with Adena — directly through the collection interface. No more standing for hours at the shop looking for a specific item.

In addition, the new patch brings a character customization system. Players now have access to a sleek and functional interface, where they can:




Also available is the blessing of ordinary cloaks. Upon success, the cloak gets one of 20 unique visuals. The cloak itself grants 1 out of 15 random bonuses to gained experience.

DKP System. This is a separate and very complex task. We studied all the best practices and recreated the best possible version of them.
(Thanks to our friends—competition brings progress and development!)
The result is a very convenient, customizable, and highly automated system.
And what about party and command channel formation? We know how tiresome it is for every CL or Raid Leader.
On Sansara, this is done with a single button. All registered characters receive parallel invites—simultaneously.
All groups are invited to the command channel at once. It’s incredibly convenient.


Everyone has had moments in the game where they wanted to praise or roast someone.
Maybe an enemy charges in for revenge and dies. Or a friend accidentally uses Opal while running.
We added a praise feature—like in Dota, but with text.
There are four options to choose from, selected by our Discord community.
It’s a great way to hype up an ally or troll an enemy. Your praise or sarcasm will be seen server-wide!
We want you to feel emotions again.

Now let’s talk about classes. How many characters have been reworked over the past year? Let’s recap:
And many minor changes for classes like DK, Sylphs, Assassins, EE and SE.
All of these updates are implemented on Sansara. New classes are adapted, balanced, and ready to play.
Of course, we haven’t forgotten about the rest. We strive to make every class interesting for progression.

We’ve added a lot of new locations. We’ve collected and adapted the most beautiful and exciting ones — most Essence players have never even seen them. It’s going to be an amazing experience.

As for epic bosses — we’re aware of the common “turtle” issue: clans piling tightly on the boss and becoming unkillable. We’ve added mechanics that completely reset this strategy. Now, epic fights will be dynamic, tactical, and most importantly — fun.
We’ve addressed the issue of endless PvP suicide waves. On official servers, death costs money, so people value their characters. But on free servers, coins drop from mobs, making death practically free.
We implemented two versions of debuffs. After dying in PvP, you get a level 1 debuff for 1 minute. If you die again within that minute, the debuff intensifies. At level 5, respawn will only be available after 30 seconds. That means your party or clan will be without you for half a minute.

We’ve added 10 new solo bosses. Their uniqueness lies in the materials they drop — you can use them to close older doll collections. But they’re not as easy to access as regular bosses. They appear on the map, but you can’t teleport to them. They spawn once every 4-hour frame. Want a boost? Start hunting.

Other solo bosses will also be rebalanced — their drop tables will be reviewed. We actively monitor competitive content and keep it engaging.
We’ve introduced a new item: Skill Coin. You can use them to create 1*, 2*, and 3* skill books in a special crafting system — either with chance or guaranteed. You can get Skill Coins from epic bosses, solo bosses, the battle pass, and the calendar. Play actively — progress faster.

We’ve removed level restrictions from all starting quests. Now, players can choose: complete quests on high-level monsters or grind on spots. Flexibility and variety are key principles of Sansara.

We have added a unique PvE dungeon — Dimensional Warp. Over 30 floors, with difficulty increasing at each level. Time is limited. Go solo or in a group. Whoever climbs the highest will receive rewards at the end of the period.

The game will also feature a PvE ranking — not only for PvP and gear score but also for achievements in Dimensional Warp.

More new dungeons will be added: Krofin's Nest, Octavis' Temple. We’re constantly preparing new content.


For PvP lovers — the Festival of Chaos. An anonymous showdown: nicknames are hidden, and everyone has a chance. Every 10–15 minutes, the system launches a battle on several random arenas with 8–16 players. The last one standing wins, but kill counts also award points. At the end of the period — powerful rewards.

Unique abilities are available in the arena:
For those who are overwhelmed by too many activities. Or those who feel their ganks might have made too many enemies — we offer an alternative leveling zone. Every day, you can enter the Dream Dungeon for 5 hours, close your client, and train your hits on a special dummy. You will earn a decent amount of XP/SP, adena, and L-coins, proportional to your level and the time spent inside.

In some hunting zones, you can now find Tales of Dimensions. These can be used to level up the Hero Book — upon reaching certain levels, you gain:


This will cost a considerable amount of Adena, but the bonuses are worth it! Ultimately, characters who don’t invest in progression will fall far behind in farming efficiency and speed.
The black market is one of the reasons Lineage still thrives. Many players find value in this, and we see no reason to fight or prohibit it. On the Sansara server, players can legally list items for sale for trade balance.
There are no restrictions on our marketplace. Want to play for profit? Go ahead — and no fear of bans. And naturally, the fees are lower than on a certain very popular “fun” platform.

We understand: to keep a project alive, it must evolve. Sansara is not a “one-patch” server. It’s a constantly developing project with ongoing balancing, drop control, stat and economy adjustments, and boosting. Changes will be frequent. Every voice and suggestion will be heard. Forget stagnation.

Sansara is low rate. We’ll make progression less tedious, but the road to late-game will be gradual. And in the endgame — true euphoria awaits: unique items with multi-level development, new skills, and the most exciting PvP in Essence.
Characters will differ not just by boost but also by build. One class — many variations. Your experience, skills, and creativity will decide everything.
We welcome everyone tired of boring servers where even money can't make the game fun. We aim to revive your love for the game and remind you of the true emotions you felt when you played just for the thrill — without paid actors and fake players.
Sansara is Lineage as it was meant to be. Reincarnate with us and start over. For real.

Festival of Chaos is an exciting PvP event on the Lineage 2 Essence (Sansara) server, where every player becomes both hunter and prey. In this event, participants fight in a free-for-all arena format, showcasing their survival skills, tactics, and combat prowess.
To survive in the arena, use the following strategies:
The Festival of Chaos is not just a test of your combat skills, but also a chance to earn unique rewards, increase your status on the server, and prove yourself as a true survival master. Be the first among equals and show everyone who’s boss!
In the world, nothing lasts forever.
But what if it could be different?
Sansara wasn't created as just another temporary stage —
it's a place where you want to stay.
The Wheel of Sansara is a symbol of constant forward motion.
Each turn is a chance to go deeper, to grow, to discover something new in what once felt familiar.
Behind the project is a seasoned team of administrators who helped launch several successful servers.
We know how to keep players engaged and evolve the game — fairly and thoughtfully.
Our deep understanding of all game versions allows us to seamlessly combine content and mechanics to build a truly living, exciting world.
Sansara isn’t just a server.
It’s a cycle — where your story and progress are infinite.
On Sansara, your journey begins precisely where you thought it had ended.
The concept of late-game low-rate means one thing:
you’ll reach what normally takes months — top gear, “endgame” content — very quickly.
But here, that’s just the prologue.
Then the real experience begins:
custom abilities, new items,
unique quests, progression systems, and zones you’ve never seen before.
All of this unfolds within a carefully balanced PvP environment,
where characters have greater flexibility,
and victory isn’t just about gear — it's about your tactics, build, and mind.
We believe:
the true game begins where players are given more possibilities and depth —
and every choice matters.
Sansara breaks the cycle — and creates a new one.
Where progress doesn’t end — it only gains momentum.
We don’t sell balance. At all. To anyone.
The server features a unique incentive system for Clan Leaders and streamers — without granting any in-game power.
Player Marketplace with Withdrawal Support
Real-money trading (RMT) is officially allowed — via a secure balance in your account panel.
Our system lets you withdraw earnings directly to a crypto wallet through our own processing solution.
More details — coming soon.
Spatial Rift is an instance for players level 85 and above, where you must overcome 35 platforms by defeating mobs and battling unique bosses. Each floor presents a distinct challenge that requires coordination, strategy, and quick decision-making.
Imps offer valuable rewards but can significantly increase the floor's difficulty.
The ranking is determined by the following criteria:
Dimensional Rift is a great opportunity to test your combat skills, earn unique rewards, and climb the server rankings. Challenge your friends or form a team to conquer it together!
Show everyone who’s boss!
We are currently working on class balance, information will appear very soon.
We’ve completely reworked the Collection mechanics, making them more exciting and rewarding!
You can now obtain a Random Collection Chest, which grants one of four chests of varying rarity when opened:
Each of these chests contains a unique item that unlocks a fully completed collection. No need to gather pieces anymore — everything at once!
You can obtain these chests from:
Already completed? — No problem! Duplicate collections can be used in random crafting to try your luck again!
We’ve also updated part of the doll-related collections. They are now completed using Doll Fragments — special items initially available only from new solo bosses.
We plan to continue updating and expanding the collection system — stay tuned and empower your character!
