Do a video about lost ark next week on 17th July. They will be bringing solo content to new players with boosted progression. I wanna see your opinions on it.
L2 was the game that propelled me into the MMO genre. I remember coming back from school, eating in a hurry and then doing my homework as fast as i could, and then immediately logging in until bedtime... Damn you, NC Soft.
The Official L2 servers barely holds a sliver of the game's playerbase, the absolute majority of Lineage 2 Players is present in the ridiculously high number of private servers of older versions of the game that exists for over a decade.
Its the best mmorpg during its time in my opinion. Its class system and graphics was what attracted me to play this game many years ago. No other mmorpg could match its strength. That is why it still draws old players back in hope of a revive. Unfortunately, it couldnt keep up with new times and as also what Stix said, bad management causes its downfall. I hope new developers could refresh this game to the latest tech.
I played over 12 years Lineage 2 and I don't like play any other MMORPG. But be Honest, Lineage 2 is fun only at first 6 chronicles (prelude -> Interlude) and then classic 1.0->2.0.
I don't understand how people like to play Interlude so much, is so fucking lackluster and boring, I mean I played Gracia Final and H5 also and they aren't perfect either but there is so much QoL improvements in the game that can't even play a Interlude server.
I don't see improvements but bunch idiotic things that destroy whole sense of L2. Like instances, kamaels and elements. Also new designs of armors and weapons above S grade is awful.
@@c4nchi interlude was awesome because it was pretty straight forward and simple... Everything was still being discovered and it was just really cool exploring everything... PVP was fun - a lot of people were all around the same level and strength. No crazy item drops yet.. Then it became a sweat fest.
Lineage 2 died on official servers many, many years ago but still be very active on private servers up to the last worth chronicle where you can have all of the required drop list table/seven signs/populated low level zones and everything that made this game so fun in the past ......
Ncsoft's greed ruined one of the very best MMOs and a personal favorite of mine. It started way back in 2010-2012 where they went full with the in game shop. Player base started to disappear and today only 5-10 "whales" are left on official servers, who Nc still milks to this day. I absolutely hate them for ruining this game, but the best memories I had was from teens, playing with my friends. Little nostalgia trip there, cheers friend!
l2 official had their own radio station with their DJs back in the day with events. I still have their own unique song covers/remakes somewhere on the old computer.
Sometime during the mid 2000's I was playing this quite a bit until reaching end game, where it became clear that a certain two top clans were bot farming their levels and skill books/SP to utterly and completely control and decide the Heros on the server through underhanded methods. A whole lot of hot headed egotistical rats who literally cheated with bot programs during PvP to see enemies on the programs radar that hadn't even rendered on screen yet. End game was an entire sham. Most other aspects of the game was enjoyable though.
i miss this game when they still allow draging around raid boss , when u spot the boss 1st drag him around to secluded place to hide from other player and beat it later when enough guild member on.
I've played most of my life and sometimes I still miss the experience I had playing with my friends. I always had the dream that one day it could be available to play on a cell phone or tablet.
how worse it can be when L2 M, Lineage Mobile , and all their mobile versions did over 10billion total dollars and they keep making new games , all their games are alive , no one gets closed , they even remake them.
Hey, I'm planning to try out Lineage 2 on a private Eastern European server. They basically have a stable 8k+ online player base, and my father used to play there in 2015. From what I know, the community on Eastern European servers can be somewhat more toxic than most people are used to. However, private servers are definitely a path worth considering.
I haven't played L2 in years but I know for sure that L2 is still going strong in the private servers because they are more well managed than the retail server.
L2 official is RMT + P2W afk scammy game, publishers copystrike L2 category streamers who play private servers. Trying to squeeze the last juice out, I am like a kid at Christmas day - just waiting and praying for them to close this garbage down. There is no content to be made, It's literally worse than any other single game, I rather stream Tetris than this garbage. P.s Thank you MMMbyte for telling the truth and not even bothering to try it again ! I love you for that. I'm hardcore old L2 player who still plays L2 private servers to this day.
Game has had regular updates, and events, But the European market seemed to always have the upper hand with what was coming up, before US, always had an advantage, so i stopped playing late in 2010 today tried to log in found "purple log in, i believe this stems from Account sharing preventive method. this happens way back in 2003 almost lost all account while deployed. these updates weed out non live players. The grind is truly the heart of the game,
I played lineage 2 a long time ago, but I walked away when nobelese came out. Old Korean grinding games simply forced people to buy adena and I couldn't and wouldn't do that. The game would have been great if it didn't literally need crime bosses and Chinese prisoners using the game to feed the pay for gold economy.
I played L2 all the way from C3 up to the Goddess of Destruction. For me L2 died when they released the Goddess of Destruction update and completely butchered all of the classes by merging them into some trashy amalgamations where skills from 10 different classes were merged into 1 skill. Not to mention the update introducing really bad plastic feel to the game with the changed graphics, sounds and effects.
Bartz server in Dawn alliance. It was so fun during the wars. The wars with UR the Chinese farmers Lordsoflords aka lol. Castle sieges were epic and doing raid bosses and pvp for raid bosses.
Honestly playing no mmos right now, going to school for animation so I only play Wuwa and ZZZ because they are easy to pick up and free, gotten all the banner characters without money also, so been lucky for that too!
Retail (NcSoft version) is not playable. 100% cash grab and to do anything at all you must spend thousands of dollars. L2 has a thriving private server community like l2 Reborn which is a great option for oldschool l2.
Tihs gameplay is really old from when GoD released. I know because I played the shit out of it and u can tell by the amount of players that are on the screen. That place is now a ghost town.
i dont understand why lineage 2 never did what wow did, just overhaul the engine every 10 years with slight modernization and improvements enough that its playable and runs well, but nope now were getting throne and liberty
Mmo are grindy and most of them don't have fun gameplay. I am 33 and can't dedicate steady 3h a day to play games, yet alone 1 game. Especially where 99% I'll be running around or killing mobs
Every year you post a video about how stupid official servers are now. According to yourself, you were a big fan... And know nothing about private scene? Super weird. If I were to think wrong about you I'd say you are paid to talk trash of certain games so they don't get popularity. Why don't you play Reborn C4 x1 or Ewlyn C1 x1? They are opening in November and December and you will find thousands of ppl old school hardcore grinding and living the MMORPG experience that NO GAME can offer anymore
this asians know how to make good games, but once it steps at the moneymaker team, the game its done kkkkkkkkk everygame pay to win as fuck kkkkkkk thats why this asians private server are good, cause if you remove the damn pay to win, the game is good
Lineage 2 is the reason I am so adamantly against PVP in open world MM o's. My experience with this beautiful game with its beautiful music with its amazing class system. What's to get murdered again and again and again and again the actual instant I left the starter town to go hunt level one monsters. It happened on the 1st day it happened on the second day it happened during the second week and after that point I said enough is enough I'm done with this game.! It's the reason why in World of Warcraft I will only play on non PVP servers. It's also the reason I quit arcade because the second I go out to do some Mining some guy 50 times my level comes out to stamp me. In my opinion grieving should be punished with real life execution. Because these games could have had much more people playing them or not for the few a******* out there that make it their life's goal to make everyone else miserable
I played a lot of L2 servers and almost never had a person camping all starting town exits just to mess with low lvls (you have at least 4 exits in all towns and at least one town for each race) and even if they do you can avoid them by going out the other way around, you are only a crybaby who doesnt even care or tried to play a little bit.
@@c4nchi I am so glad, That because you have never dealt with griefers you believe that they don't exist. No one should have to go through the hell and torment of being constantly murdered again and again just for someone to get their jollies now as far as your experience with lineage too. I never even got to a town to begin with this happened in the starting newbie zone when you create your first character for the first time and log into the gameAnd our spawned for the very first time. The little 80 Biddy village that all players begin at was camped By max level players who got their jollies murdering anybody that got too far away from the guards. There were no entrances it was a cluster of about if I remember right 5 houses with no walls. Granted this was close to 15 maybe 20 years ago. So your experience and more recent years may be different than mine. Now from talking to other players at the time these griefers shouldn't have even been on the new zone island but somehow they found a way to glitch themselves in and spent the next 2 weeks terrorizing anyone who dared log into the game on a new character. It is the reason why I gave up on lineage because if PVP was this bad at the very beginning before you even get to level 2 what's it gonna be like when you get to level 10 and leave that island question mark. The same kind of events have happened to me on other PVP enabled servers in other games . It's why I don't play PVP open world games anymore I got a very bad experience and it has stuck with me all These years. I refused to budge on my stanceThat open world p VP is made exclusively so people who have nothing better to do with their lives and no honor can bully and abuse people weaker than them.
lineage 2 is always better on private servers, sadly it died in 2010s, few good servers came and went even after that but overall its a dead game, global should not even be called lineage 2, its abomination, best chronicles were c4 c6 gracia~, rest is garbage
L2 was great back in the day now it is just super pay to win they are super money hungry also if you check they gear is gipped they will release all of the gear NC soft butchered the game
LOL. I tried the game like 4 months ago and it feels like playing a mobile game.. Tele here to kill this tele there tele blah blah!!! Sucks!!! I've been a Game Master of the SEA server and I missed the old school game!!!
What MMORPG are YOU currently playing?
12 years playing Guild wars 2 and still online. Oh yeah

@@js11t Two of the best MMOs, in my opinion: Aion and Lineage 2.
Maybe you should try the game again instead of looking at websites. There are a lot of people still playing lineage 2.
l2 official had their own radio station with their DJs back in the day with events. I still have their own unique song covers/remakes somewhere on the old computer.
can you upload those?
upload it please man :D
you got duty to share it
Gold Farming Bots. Thats what killed the game for me back in the day, and NCSofts inability or unwillingness to stop them.
The GM’s were getting a cut, they had no reason too.
Sometime during the mid 2000's I was playing this quite a bit until reaching end game, where it became clear that a certain two top clans were bot farming their levels and skill books/SP to utterly and completely control and decide the Heros on the server through underhanded methods.

i miss this game when they still allow draging around raid boss ,
when u spot the boss 1st drag him around to secluded place to hide from other player and beat it later when enough guild member on.
L2 used to be gread and really addicting game. Sadly now absolutely every "event" is a 0.00000000000000001% chance for OP gear cashgrab.
Nice Video, went to the L2 website and read all events gg.
I've played most of my life and sometimes I still miss the experience I had playing with my friends.
I always had the dream that one day it could be available to play on a cell phone or tablet.
It is available for Android. 🙂
I still play L2 for nostalgia reasons but L2 needs to upgrade to UE 4 or 5 if possible
The situation is much worse in game than it looks outside...
how worse it can be when L2 M, Lineage Mobile , and all their mobile versions did over 10billion total dollars and they keep making new games , all their games are alive , no one gets closed , they even remake them.

on mobile is doing crazy good in asia , they been making 9 10 billions and said to remake all their games with the money they made
