I just returned to the game after being gone since Chronicle 3 and it feels good to be back.
These past 3 days playing has been a blast and it makes me glad that I'm back. Also I've noticed a huge jump in international players; in particular players from Spanish speaking countries as well as European players. I think this is awesome and I look forward to the diversity on this server. Back when i played on Hindemith in the early 2000's is was pretty much all americans and the population was small enough that almost everyone knew each other. so I welcome this new burst of players. I'm from the USA and this gives me a great chance to play with others. In a Kamaloka 53 yesterday I was in group with players from Greece, Luthania, Brazil, Spain, and two brothers from the UK. Where else can you get that? Plus this gives me a chance to learn about other cultures and practice my "Espanol" with native speakers. :p
Also, i'm not sure how much I like the new pvp system. I think for now its hard to work off your karma because most of the leveling spots are full of players, but once the population levels up and thins out it will not feel like such a burden to remove Karma. I killed a bot that was KS'ing a lot in the Cemetery and randomly sitting and standing over and over and typing random gibberish into the chat box(Big mistake!). Killing him obviously turned me red and puts a big "KILL ME" sign above me, haha. While trying to run away from the swarm of people I fought back against one person to keep from dropping all my gear. so he died right before I did and it gave me a 2nd PK. Those two PK's gave me -1800 Karma. Am I mad? Not at all..I went red so I knew the consequences...I just think that the karma needs to go down a tad bit faster. At level 55 you get ported somewhere near aden castle with blue mobs so it takes a long run to get somewhere to grind mobs to bring your name back white. Needless to say, after 6 hours of trying to work off my pk I still had almost 1100 left because I get killed over and over by people camping the spawn points to get a green name, so I just ended up making a new character.
I also want to say I love how competitive this server feels as far as real pvp goes. When someones name goes Pink you often see huge battles break out which is what I believe most people love most about Lineage 2 in the first place, the pvp. This is awesome. A lot of people are really bad about KS'ing you for quest mobs and every once in a while you might get fed up and smack em a time or two. ;) If they fight back then you have fun PVP'ing. You might lose, but who cares. Thats what its all about!! :D
I hope Shilen's population stays booming like it is now, because I can remember the very first Aden Seige with over 1000 participants and I think that number would be enormous with the way this server feels now. Not to mention a lot of fun on the battlefield!
I'll see you all in game! (New character name Tsinn ;soon to be Warlock) /addfriend me! :)
