ive been playing lineage on and off for a few months now..i recently started playing regularly again and find the new herbs and faster leveling to be a great improvement to the game..im playing on the franz server....
one thing you hear about when lineage comes into conversation is bots bots and more bots...i didnt notice it that much on the teon server but now on franz they are everywhere..its a disgrace that nc soft let botting go to these extremes...the lag is horrible because you have clone dwarves running all over the place beating on guards..and whats that about, why do they beat on the guards....
anyway the dark elven village looks like its being invaded by cloned dwarves from the mighty planet bot..i just dont understand how nc soft can turn a blind eye to it.
This game is so hardcore that people from poor countries will farm with each character live if they can't run them with a program. (they'll just hire child labor) I've seen times right after a big ban that farmers were all live players. Most of what you see is monitored by live Chinese people, so they are hard to catch. Still ncsoft doesn't want these forums clogged with people griping about bots, so they'll lock this thread. You have to understand all the forces involved on these world wide LineageII servers. Until poor countries are prohibited from playing NA servers, farming problem will remain, bot or no bot.
