New player looking for server advice

General Discussion Started Last reply 54 posts
Hello, a bit new to lineage 2, although I've played many mmos over the past 6 years. I have actually tried lineage 2 back in its 1st week of release and didn't enjoy at the time, but a friend of mine who is playing has assured me its change quite a bit since then and wants me to play with him. He is on Erica server, but since we are coming in to play, he has said he will reroll a new character on a new server with us. I am curious as to what everyone thinks would be the best server for us to start out on. So far from what I have read on the Server Personality posts, Hindemith Server seems to be one of the best. I enjoy PvE play as well as PvP play, so I am hoping for a server at least somewhat active in both. What do you all suggest?
Erica! :)
Take a look at the Hindemith forums. We are quite the drama queens. :D

I won't tell you which to chose but if you do try Hindemith, send me a PM. I'll help you get started. And I only PK newbies with names that start with "J".

Erica! :)


For the prices, right? :p
Lionna cause we have bit hairy orcs their that dont get past lvl 30!!!! =o

-edit- omg 900 posts!
Hindemith is definately the best, but don't let these boards confuse you.

Some of the larger servers don't use the L2 boards here because they are highly moderated. They prefer sites like www.l2blah.com (http://www.l2blah.com) where the children can throw ***** at eachother. Hindemith just has a fairly adult community in as much a sense of the word as "adults playing video games" can be taken :p

SirE you'll never afford A grade at this rate.
KAIN !
And think about putting a "Motion" in your name XD

More seriously, I am (was) on Erica, I didn't play there for months and even if it is always great to see new players and all, I don't recommend you this server. But well, the grass is always greener in the neighbour's meadow ... (I still think Erica is the worst choice, with the prices you will have hard time to get started as a new player, and it is just one reason within others)
actually [censored] is more of the poo-slinger...at least for Lionna

But well, the grass is always greener in the neighbour's meadow ...



:confused:

That one's new to me.

Huh? I have majestic plate, boots, gloves and 1 ring...
Bah I tried to translate an expression from my mother tongue, but I am bad at English, It basically means that one always think that the one beside him/her have a better situation. In this case ... it means I am maybe biased and thinking the other servers are better while they are maybe not.

Yeah, you did well, we just say "the grass is always greener on the other side".

Sire E.: Luke was just admiring your generosity but was concerned that you would not be able to afford A grade because you are so free with your money.

To the OP: I always tell people to check out the official boards as well as the L2blah boards because they might find that other segment of the community more to their liking. In no way do these boards accurately reflect the entire community.

There are just less people here calling each other "poopy pants" and if they do it gets removed. :p

edit: that's not to insinuate that everyone on blah is so free with their language.

Yes, I have been looking at the boards to try and get an idea of what kind of people are playing on the servers, Hindemith, even with some drama (which will happen regardless, always does) seems for the most part to have a decently mature player group from the majority of posters here. As for on the other board, Hindemith doesn't seem have as large a player group posting there, the ones posting there do seem a bit more immature then the ones here. I still like hearing directly from people on what they think is the best choice, they know their servers the best.

The correct quote is "The grass is always greener over the septic tank"

But now i'm getting off topic.

If you play any server besides bartz, you will get disgusted with how bad the server is and wish u played bartz from the start.
i am new myself,asked around other boards what is the best on [cencored] wise,and got lots of answers. Tried out few servers before i got to bartz,and i like it right now. At lvl 19!

Yes, but you need to tell us why! ;)

maybe someone can even say "the grass of your neighbour is always.. better"
:P

read my post in jutes post.
Come to Hindemith where the grass is always greener under your feet than your neighbors (spray painting is optional).

Ah, I was in a hurry for a meeting and read too quickly. But, here's what I do. When I frequent noob towns (which I do often on my SE to buff people, etc) if someone is selling noob gear for cheap, I buy it and put it in my WH. Sometimes I just walk up to someone and give it away or I use it for one of my frequent rerolls. I've also gotten some good noob gear as drops (hard leather helm and a falchion a couple of weeks ago). Most of the time, I never actually get to meet up with the new person anyway.

All of the A gear I have has been crafted, by me. I did fail one majestic ring, though. :(
He even occasionally helps out people he PKs!

"Here newb.. wear this while I kill you."
Like I said, I only PK noobs if their name starts with "J".
I've gone ahead and rolled a character on Hindemith, human fighter named Kazimira. Thanks to everyone for their imput, so far Hindemith seems to have nice people, which is one of the more important factors.

get out while u still can! I'm telling you... if you don't play on bartz, you don't play l2.

Bartz is the NFL of L2. All other servers are like arena football. It might be fun to watch for awhile, but in the end it's just a bunch of people who couldn't **** it with the big boys.

It's okay, Sov. I don't mind being the "Washington Generals" of the server world.
Disclaimer: Only people from Southern California are likely to get this...

If servers were cities Erica would be Compton.

Rough, kind of shady but if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

It was a Simpsons reference so I thought you'd get it. Anywho, the Washington Generals is the basketball team that the Harlem Globetrotters always plays (and beats badly). The Simpsons made reference to them when Homer said, "Ah, The Luftwaffe...The Washington Generals Of The History Channel."

NUTS!!!! I forgot about that one!!!

Though it makes me think of Hank Scorpio and his parting gift to homer... the Denver Broncos.
Uh ... was this threaed about a server, some grass, SirE's armor or assorted BS ? :confused:

We are just giving the new member a taste of the goodness that will surely clog up her screen.

If playing on Bartz is what playing L2 is really about then playing on Hindemith could be about... oh... I don't know... this! (http://library.vicu.utoronto.ca/exhibitions/ephemera/Box_2/tiddley_winks.jpg)

I DID have a newsletter, but nobody sent donations, and I got sick of explaining to people why they were wrong for free. Maybe I will start one up again someday, but I kind of doubt it.

(I did have over 30 subscribers before I told them to piss off and to stop bugging me for more...)

With that kind of cunning and wit you would fit right in on bartz! Seriously reroll now and you can join my clan! I'll sneak you in... we have a castle and everything!
Jute's crusin for a bruisin! :p
I don't care about the Olympics. Short is my Hero!
Awwwww Jute!! (Btw that was the correct life saving answer!)



With that kind of cunning and wit you would fit right in on bartz! Seriously reroll now and you can join my clan! I'll sneak you in... we have a castle and everything!



But I'd want to be one of those useless classes...like Swordsinger or Elven Elder!
You guys are my sunday comics. *hugs ya'll* Thanks for the laughter. Ok. I know this was definitely off topic. Just had to say.... :D

lol if u played an sws or an ee in our clan you would be partied 24/7 until u were 78 and subclassed the other... then you would be partied to 78 again...

Of course u better like pvp, cause we are in a pretty intense war right now.
Is there a real difference between servers aside from the amount of people on them? Right now I'm creating a character on Kain, and I havent noticed much of a difference between it and Bartz, aside from having less lag because there are less people. :P

I'm want a server with less people on it so I dont have to get lagged out when I go to Giran or something.

The differences:

1: Economy
2: Approach to cheaters
3: Clan wars
4: PvE etiquete (sp?)

and a lot of others... until you hit higher lvl those things prolly wont concern you, but once u get a high lvl... They will.

Yea, communitys and attitudes differ server from server, which is what I was concerned about. So far I am enjoying the hinde community. I've met quite a few friendly people thus far, and pking or griefing hasnt been an issue with what few run ins I've had, and those run ins were actually quite humorous :p. I am level 21 atm on my human knight, working on my gear upgrade.

He is ruight bartz is like the NFl but Kain is like Rugby. If you make it to the top you'll hav been beaten and abused, but you'll enjoy it the whole time.

old enough to get fershnukled! hinde has the best alcohol, they even some quests on in dion for superb wine and beer :) the deviant wine from astron is okay, but its definately an aquired taste :eek:
