So true, there is SOOO many benefits that newbies can receive but I only see a few actually use them because they don't read! That is why this guide is so useful because people will actually read this rather than in-game text.

This update was never a let down, seriously my lvl 66 went to 67 in just a short amount of time, just how it was like when I was in my 40s. If you can't handle this grind when compared to the orginial then you should seriously think of playing a different game. I can understand new players saying things like this since there are other games with less grind.

Phoenix, Aria, and Sayha are servers that were just recently merged from two independent servers. The newest actual server is Luna (EURO). Right now though, it seems like any server you do join, youll find roughly close to the same amounts of people.

Don't call her or message her, once may have been ok to see whats up but more than that.. well its like stalking, it will only continue to push her away. Listen man, you are better than that, she is the one that lost YOU. You know you are worth it so don't stoup down to level she is expecting you to be in.

I'll be anxious to see mmorpgchart.com's graph for L2 this year.

Why wait for mmogchart.com? You can get the exact number of Lineage 2 subscribers or for any other game NcSoft has right at ncsoft.com offical site.

They now have PlayNC time cards rather than just regular Lineage 2 cards, those work for time (thats if you have cd-key already) and should easily be at Best Buy.

This update was MUCH NEEEDED. I went from level 30-32 in just about an hour and a half on my cleric by soloing then dying by a random raid boss and then doing kamaloaka. I suggest doing kamaloaka atleast once per day (the most you can do it). All you need is a few people. Surprisingly we got a raid group really quick but didn't last long since it is pretty late (and we died lol, was funny).

My lvl 66 would have been easily into 67 by now if I had not stopped, the leveling was so much faster it was unbelievable, before 1% per 20 minutes, now I get around 5% per 20 minutes, its beautiful reminds me of leveling like when this character was in his 40s.

Hopefully the download takes a LOONNNG time so I can finish up my work otherwise I won't stop playing for a while .

The thing about getting 1-3 shotted if your not S-grade is not totally true, of course if your B-grade or lower but my current toon is A-grade lvl 66 and can stay alive, I always play DD in a group for PvP and sometimes they target me and I stay alive, I have Tallum Heavy Set with no bonuses.

You will definitely not stay alive long enough however 1v1 obviously with S-grade, buts that a huge level gap.

Edit: Im a gladiator so I do have a decent amount of HP.

Currently play Lineage 2, great PvP game once you get into A-grade (which should be somewhat easy now with the new bonuses).

Being a newcomer to the game with no buffers and spare adena,
which class would you suggest for me?
I know that tyrants and gladiators are both dual-wielding classes
and hawkeyes use bows so they use lots of soul shots but
would those costs be too much for me to handle?

 

I currently play a gladiator and do fairly well in PvP but I have not played a Tyrant so I am not going to give advice on which is better. I will tell you however incase you don't know, you can get free buffs from lvl 1 to lvl 62 from now on, just go to Newbie Guide as well as cheaper item costs for No-grade to B-grade items so you may have some a good amount of adena for soulshots (you can also get free 6k no-grade soulshots at the beginning but that isn't too big of a deal).

Does it even matter? The only point I see is getting it where you have three stars which then you can rate games and thats the only thing possible.

Nice guide, easy way to get higher. My only concern about increasing exp bonuses is that I am scared that the new players will still have no clue how to play the game once all this fluff is gone. I recently was playing was some guy around in the 30s and he seriously felt like he has only been playing for like an hour, it scared the crap out of me .

im on sayha, erica is my home =)

True that. Erica = best server.

I resubbed because of Gracia and I have read quite a few others have.

Nice, hopefully some nice money-making events come along with it .

Back in prelude, it took me 2 months to get to 20 haha, some of my friends couldn't even make it! Now I can get a character to 20 in a few hours.

Alright thanks man, I have of the LoA server but have yet to know what the difference is between regular. I currently play Lineage 2 and all servers are fully PvP so don't know how the PvE server would be.

Hey man I got a human glad currently:

-Are gladiators good for PvP purposes?

So far, Im not even close towards higher levels and I have been going to castle sieges since B-grade and actually do damage, they are pretty good at PvP once they start getting their sonic skills and very efficient later on, great damage dealers + high amount of HP. You won't be lacking if your a glad, lets say that.

-Are they helpful in parties/raids?

So far glads are alright, Glads are damage dealer, not usually a tank but can be and definitely  don't have the fastest methods to kill monsters but good damage dealers. Sometimes though it can be hard getting a party, raids you should definitely get in because clans usually get all their guys.

-what would be the (in general) pros and cons of a gladiator?

Pros:

Nice skills+great damage dealing

Nice HP/CP amount

Cons:

Not usually the most important in a party for EXPing

A-grade duals+Heavy Armor is COSTLY.. buts thats usually like other A-grade items

Sorry I don't help much but this is what Ive seen so far ^^.
