Original server? i'm not sure what you mean?
I think Lionna is quite popular though it is the only server were you are not gauranteed to have dawn win in seven signs.
I lag sometimes but that might just be to do with your computer spec too. Its not just to do with server population.
by admitting that you were playing, else than retail servers, is bannable.
at least on the forums.
its not acceptable (for players only of course, NC may do what they like on their files though, but noone cant comment that.) to speak for these things.
Kain is a well established server with many high levels.
Franz is the newest as has a lower average level rate and is based in europe.
What you must consider is where you are in the world and choose a server nearest you. This will give you a better ping rate and therefore reduce some lag. Remember though, not all lag is down to your connection, some is down to your pc and this relates to many things from cpu speed, graphics capability and even hard drive speed.
Having said all that, I'm in southern England but play mainly on Hindemith, an American west coast server and get little lag and a ping of between 95 and 106ms. My pc is quite powerful so any lag is mainly connection/server orientated.
There are other considerations for choice of server and one might be a language/nationality issue. Browse these forums for more info.
Whatever server you choose, you'll always find people willing to help in game.
Good luck and enjoy real Lineage 2.
i have a little lag at franz.. why?? maybe i play at turkey!! other servers havent any lag but franz have a lot of :S
hmm did you try teon?
im from urope and lagging more on franz that on teon
but if you want USA time for seages and mannon and staff you can choose any other
it might not be obvious at first but this game is as ping-dependant as shooters without much client-prediction are. a couple of "bugs" and annoyances also vanish with a decent ping, so it would be best for you to choose teon or franz unless your routing causes a better ping to some of the US servers, but I doubt that.
