I'm returning after many years of abscence. I was present in the OBT phase back in march 2004 on Erica server. I played orc called Zikhan, got to level 35, and was part of a clan called "LastExile", with leaders Sebastian and XotiX, if anyone recognizes them.
Glad to be back. I did play for a few weeks back in December 2010, but it wasn't very long. So I chose not to count that short visit =P I plan to stay for a while now.
Also, if anyone's around level 50-60 and would like to party up with me, talk a bit, and exp, let me know :) My ingame character name is KungMartin.
Don't even bother with people who are doomsaying. There's a lot of people coming back nowadays and both servers are still pretty active and healthy populated.
Once L2 goes F2P/P2P hybrid servers will fill up once more.
There's just a few people who brag about bad pings to servers located in the US, Naia will be moved there soon. Also, we don't know for sure yet if siege times will stay the same. They might change to US local time.
Oh yeah and there's a lot of people hoping for Innova's EU-Servers to become somewhat better administrated than NC servers. They also hope for less cheaters and no bots, both won't happen. There's already reports of unjustified bans and people botting/using pvp cheats there aswell.
Many people will come back OR stop playing L2 entirely, afterall.
