Well, I don't know how many lvl 85 (cap) in L2 you've got in the NA servers, but you can count them with your fingers.

Worse than that, Lineage one.

You gotta love those invisible walls as 2D trees.

Again, you're denying the existence of the secondary market. As if most people just payed their 10 bucks a month.

In p2p you have a minimum every month. The maximum depends on you, be it p2p or f2p.

In five pages nobody has told you the main reason. Being you a Lineage2 player, I really thought this post was a joke, but omg you're serious.

Basically, the secondary market in p2p is as big, or more!, than in f2p. ebay any?

So, cash shop or ebay. botting or 30%+ xp tokens. What's the difference? the business model is different, but it's there.

If you don't need to ebay in a p2p game, chances are you won't need to spend any (or nearly) in a f2p game. Though it depends on the game, some f2p are more demanding, just as some p2p are *cough*lineage2 again*cough*.

The other subject, number of players has already been addressed. p2p is a small pimple in front of the f2p market.

About the quality, a few years ago I thought that p2p were in general better all around. But, sincerely, the gap is smaller day after day. And you can even see some new original games directly to f2p. it's a shame than most come from asia with years delay.

you're so wrong...

Every race has got some outstanding ships. Unfortunately the differences between ships of the same "level" are a bit too notable.

What did happen to the big blue? It was about 1 year ago the last time I tried (again) to get into the game.

WoW launch was impressive. They lacked servers, but went fast to setup more enough.

Its problem back then was server unstability. When you raided any city and had more than two hundred people in the same zone, the server restarted. This went on and on for about half a year, until then implemented Dishonorable Kills and city raids died.

Just to ask before I try to download the beta. Does the processor fall too small, or could the video card make up for it?

I just see the game development got stalled. Only changes and tweaks/balance over already playable content since launch. No end-game, no pvp game, crafting is even more pitiful than at launch. As many (or at least the whole 15 ppl in my clan), I payed my first month and backed off on standby. But I don't see enough new content or changes worth the resub.

Edit: Also, in so little time they've revamped the classes and skills completely. The playstyle was the only thing I really liked from TR. I'm sure they've changed for the good but IMO it wasn't really a priority, and so many continued changes on playgame will only piss off the current players.

If the requirements are too high, it's going to flop for sure.

probably will use gameguard, which doesn't do anything other than create lag.

Worst thing would be a bad customer service. Just look at Lineage2.

Congratulation you both are in beta, but if you have nothing interesting to say about the game.... 

More like Lineage2.

I don't like UO anymore (in official servers) because a) in one week I was unable to kill a single person, b) the pvpers I saw were always the same (not more than 20 different people).

Many reasons for the above. Items that make you godly, and to get them you need 100+ bucks (or farm god knows for how long). Bots, instutionalized ebaying, too reliant on macroes. Very unbalanced builds which later got nerfed into oblivion getting other builds overpowered. Too little of a playerbase, etcetc.

On the other hand, I'm sure lots of people still play it for the housing, the world (best virtual world ever), and the freedom of action you get there.

But what really kills the game for me is the astounding unbalance created by the items.

If you don't know anyone in Lineage 2 to help support you, don't even consider it. The playerbase is "mature" and to get to their level while beginning as a noob without help can be a nearly impossible task (taking ebay and botting out of the equation).

It's not something you can play just for "killing" some time while you wait for WAR.

On the other hand, if you play L2 and play it seriously (semi-hardcore), you'll learn the real meaning of "bot" and "ebaying". While at the same time it has the most rewarding pvp endgame, group based (no lone-wolves here).

If you plan to recover your banned account, you should contact them now, not in 6 months, through the means they have available. If they say phone, then it doesn't cost you nearly anything (use voip or their 800 number).

For example, to check if you are the real owner of the account, they could ask your account data, along with your list of ingame friends. Do not forget about your secret question/answer. Along with emailing them a copy of your ID -to check it with your account data- or gamebox photo with the serial-code if you have it (never throw away you original box/CDs and bills).

Another thing is to discuss if it really makes sense to make such checks by phone instead of using email or their web.
