Trading rules, season dates and the latest patch for ElmoreLab, from the publisher’s own statements.
Update to Hellbound (Bartz x3)
- The Update to Hellbound landed on the Bartz x3 realm on August 21, 2026, per the dated “History of significant events” timeline on the realm’s official server page: the page classifies Hellbound as the Chaotic Throne 1.5 chronicle, following the Kamael update of August 29, 2025.
- The progression roadmap published on the same server page ties this chronicle step to the Kamael race, the Isle of Souls and the Isle of Prayer, the Attribute System, Dynasty items and S80 equipment with a max level of 85, plus the Steel Citadel, fortress sieges and the Underground Coliseum — part of a 57-item roadmap for the realm.
- Bartz has followed a chronicle-by-chronicle progression since launching at C2 on March 3, 2020, and Elmore Lab advances its realms by roughly one chronicle per year, per the dated timelines on its server pages; Bartz’s most recent realm merge, with Lionna, is dated March 21, 2026 on the same timeline.
On a progression realm the chronicle is the value frame: since August 21, 2026 Bartz characters are priced against Hellbound-era markers — level 85 progress, S80 and Dynasty equipment and Attribute System development — not against the earlier Kamael-era state, and realm identity (Bartz x3 versus Lionna or a fresh realm) changes what the same character is worth.

ElmoreLab Server Profile
ElmoreLab bills itself as a 'museum' for classic Lineage 2 — rather than one high-rate server, the project runs multiple servers that each preserve a specific chronicle version, letting players relive the game's history in the order it actually shipped. It's aimed squarely at veterans chasing the exact classic experience rather than modern custom content.
The ElmoreLab profile above comes from elmorelab.com and community reports, last verified August 2026. Population figures are community estimates.
Wipe & Reset History
ElmoreLab runs what it calls "museum servers" with no wipes: Bartz (opened March 2020) and Teon (opened September 2022) have both run continuously since launch without a reset.
Wipe and fresh-server announcements for ElmoreLab are posted on elmorelab.com first.

ValkaFrequently Asked Questions
Is it safe and legal to play on a private server?
ElmoreLab is an unofficial Lineage 2 server running Classic, C1 onward, and like most private servers it operates without a license from the game’s publisher. ElmoreLab has been running long enough to build a track record; as with any private server, use a unique password and don't reuse account credentials from other sites.
How do I get started on ElmoreLab?
