• • Free league?

  • Ok well aparently you need to get to level 20 before you can enter... So just a FYI to anyone that wants to join the raffle your gonna have to grind out in the game for a while. I am bored as hell doing it though... its like the same thing over and over the game is so repetitive and boring.

    I think its worth it nice graphics, nice gameplay and good community

    If there is a good community they must be hiding. I have never seen a game with servers so empty. It is literally like a ghost town. The bots probably make up for more active subscribers than real people.

• • Is it worth it?

  • Well i just came back to try out a trial after not playing lineage 2 for a few years. I honestly wasn't too impressed with all the changes out of 4 years. I also played lineage 1 for a few years.

    Anyways though... One thing you have to understand about ncsoft is the constant cutbacks and lack of staff. Trust me when i say games like lineage 1 and 2 are forgotten. They will be infested with bots and i personally believe they are not dealt with is because they need active subscribers. When you log on every server will be on "light" which means its basically empty. The only servers to this exception is the euro servers. The euro servers seem to keep a decent population. So if you do decide to play the game i highly recommend a euro server... Even then the game seems empty because everyone is either in shop mode or botting. You will also get a higher latency for playing on them.

    The drop rates are not fun, they are terrible in fact. the lineage genre has the history of having these types of loot tables, really not much to say about it. If you are looking for something in particular the chances are that you will never find it.

    Lineage does offer nice animations and graphics for its time. Also note all expansions are always free (they call them expansions but they are just small updates TBH).

    The main things that truly seperate the game from 4 years ago is the "easier" leveling". You can do kamaloka once a day which is basically a room with a boss and you will get around a level of exp. There is also the vitality system which is just a weird rip off of wow's rest system. I personally do not like the vitality system because i always feel discouraged about killing things and losing the level 4 vitality. So you might find yourself skipping a lot of content or mobs to save that level 4 vitality for kama. You might find yourself standing around for a long time looking for a group though depending on your server, things are fairly dead.

    This last part is dedicated to anyone wanting to try the trial like i did. I just want to say the trial is absolute garbage. Once you reach level 20 you are kicked in the nuts because you realize you cant shout, trade, drop items or use personal shops. This means you cant get things like ssd if you are a fighter unless you beg other people (first time i ever had to do this in a game). You also cant shout in dion when your looking for a kama or raid boss group, thats a kick in the nuts.

    I am just mainly letting off some steam, i wanted to believe lineage 2 is better now because i wanted a game to play till wotlk comes out. Honestly i dont even see the purpose of playing on empty servers with bots. You can honestly just play on certain other servers that have huge populations with no bots. I wont really get into that but the truth is they are like 100x more fun.

    I miss the old days on lineage 1 with staff members like captsturn, maybe some of you can remember him. People like him truly wanted the lineage franchise to be fun and entertaining back in the day. Now those staff members have moved onto better things and we are left with unexperienced people with no true love for the franchise. Would i recommend any ncsoft game? No i honestly wouldn't. Real game are games like WoW and Eve. /Rant off.
