Lineage 2

Does anyone still play this? I remember playing it through the open-BETA and enjoying it but at the time I couldn't commit to it.

Had a browse over the L2 website and it seems its changed quite a bit since then and looks interesting! I'm thinking I might give it a go again...anyone got any feedback on the state of it?

Also anyone wanna "Refer me as a friend" (email in trust

)? Can't see any trials atm and if I can I'd rather try it free lol.

i used to play this ages ago! it was way to much of a huge grind & not enough reward, + you had higher levels tk all the to the peeps in starter towns

Good game on private servers, with x3/x5 rates, god knows how people got to higher levels on normal servers.

10 minutes of PvP equated about 3 hours of re-grinding the XP loss.

Pretty much a Korean grindfest, they love em!

played it loads of times good game but u need friends to play it playing alone would be boring and playing in global is useless as they messed up economy by selling money

Yeah the last time i played was about a year ago and the economy is so screwed up cos of gold sellers! You can probably make a couple of thousand adena if you grind for a couple of hours, but a decent piece of equipment will set you back 16mil adena!

Played it religiously since Open Beta, cancelled my account the other week while trying out AoC.
The trial accounts have been suspended as they were being abused by gold sellers to spam private message people there websites, so as you say you need someone with an active account to refer you.

It's certainly worth a bash for a month to see if you take to it, although you are very late to the party it has improved a lot for newcomers with the "shadow weapons" and "novice buffs" etc, to help you level up.

I was introduced to the beta of this game by some damn people on this forum and I think I'm one of the two people left from the ocuk clan that still plays. (Not sure of you Youngblood)

They have made a number of changes recently. Introduced server transfers and have just announced server merges.

The only populated servers are Teon, Franz (Euro servers) and Bartz (USA).

I don't think lowbie killing goes on anymore, much too much for ppl to be doing (as stated, the grind is crazy). They have free weapons for people up to like level 35 or something and free buffs I think maybe to the high 50's now. Basically trying to expedite people to the interesting levels.

Like any game it will favour those that either live in the game or cheat, but there is fun to be had without playing religously.

Next update they will put in a exp multiplier too that builds up if you are offline or take part in boss raids etc.

always loved l2 but the gring and the bots got too much! which private servers are the best to join, for some one from the uk? looking for something a bit faster than retail.

ohh and is it ok to ask about private servers? if not ignore please
