Can't get connected so your question is not relevent.

yes !! but why are you trying to connect?
No, Really why are you playing this game? What is your reason to get connected everyday and play?Because oddly enough I enjoy some good old fashion Korean grinding occasionally. I play it as a break from my normal MMO. I also play it because I have a lot of memories stretching back to closed beta.
Cool world, great audio, awesome classes, top-rate patience tester, et cetera.
Because we're frigg'n addicted!!!

I quick playing the game.
L2 has highest number of scammers i've seen in all mmo i played. In perfect world when i tried to sell item which share the same icon of high value item i got 15 days ban. And it was a fair penalty :) In l2 u can scam how much u want and this provides the worst community i have ever played.

Quick or quit? If you quit then I do not think anybody really cares, just one more open spot for a lucky botter. :D
this is an open world not kindergarten. scam wasnt a big deal before f2p. its not nc soft's fault if ppl lack of common sense.
Piotress (http://boards.lineage2.com/member.php?u=112165), no1 cares about you too, and I don t need your compassion. Instead think about yourself how childish you are to comment my spelling. Do to feel better to be rude to some1 via Internet? Go to your world, bye
Because Tera isn't out yet and my friends are still around in L2. When Tera is out though, ncfail will just have their servers open for bots, privservertards and those who spend thousands on nccoin =)

Is that game ever going to come out, or will it stay in beta for another year?

The registration for EU closed beta was open a couple of days ago. It will be out in 3 - 4 months .. fingers crossed. I don't think I can take another 3 - 4 months of L2 though xD
Because some of my old friends didn't get banned when everyone was botting (2009-10) are still playing and game is free now.

No old friends, no game. Doesn't matter pay or not to pay for play :)
Online friends and pvp. Other than that, L2 as it is now is a reflection of the chaos present in the world, and I mean the players not the content. With the type of community that I have the misfortune to come in contact with each day I play, without the friends I have and make in game, I wouldn't give this game the time of day. And not because the game is bad because its amazing.
Nothing else to play atm

Waiting for:
Aion to go free in february (wont replace L2 tho, just a filler for when im bored of L2 :P )
Tera
Planetside 2
Diablo 3

Because, like Eve Online. Lineage 2 is a nice little example of the human condition. Anger, Greed, Envy, Pride, Lust, Slot, and Gluttony. In fact if i can probably link all 7 sins from the forum threads alone. The developers encourage the behavior as well, until well the almighty bottom line forced them to discard a lot of it and introduced welfare epics.

Look at the WoA dailies. They have the power to increase the spawn rates, drop rates and mobs. They also have the power to introduce more quests. But they don't because they are trying to introduce conflict amongst the players, PvP, etc. Fight over a scarce commodity.

Scamming is 'frowned' upon but it's actually actively encouraged in the game. Originally every time you died you had a chance to drop something from your inventory, up to 5 items. So one bad encounter and you could lose, literally the shirt on your back, your weapon, etc. You could then walk back to town, and get scammed by a private store or deal in town. One of the most bas.ta.rd things you could do was to gank someone and then setup a store to sell the stuff he dropped. Then this g.a.y game of tag and flag came along...and now going red is a complete waste of time.

So what we have now is a hybrid bas.ta.rd child of an MMO. Not truly hardcore with an extra helping of welfare. However, it's still L2, and there's plenty of humanity to still watch...best with popcorn and soda pop.

Because this is the highest quality free MMO there is. I can't justify paying for an MMO, because all of the paid MMOs are generic. Even the ones that haven't come out yet.

Star Wars: WoW in space.
WoW: Played it for 5 years and wore it out, not fun anymore.
Tera: LOL, Could you be anymore generic? Nice graphics though.
Darkfall: Not generic, but population is WAY too low.
EVE: EVE is a great game, but I don't have THAT much time to dedicate, it takes a lot.

You get it, I play this, because in my perception it's the best.

All quests in MMOs are generic anymore, I'll go play a single player game if I want to quest.

Grinding is relaxing and I enjoy it, especially after a stressful day and with some friend.

Saying that Tera Online has nice graphics is mildly putting it. Talk about Boobies....
reasons why im playing lineage2 god official:

1) free to play :D
2) pve/pvp but right now im always pve/bsoe,ya know need to reach 95 asap :p
3) awesome graphics
4) weapon & skill overenchanting
5) weapon augmentations
6) some quests
7) new awakened skills
8) buy and sell/auction shop
9) local and international friends online
10) and the last, its one of the best mmorpg in the world for me :)
I play it for....

Oh wait, I can't even get in yet.
1. free to play
2. graphics
3. PVP and PVE
4. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GAME!
The main reason for me to play lineage2 is the fact that am sick of quest-driven "mmorpgs".... Having the freedom again to choose what to do is refreshing.

I also like the classes and the graphics.
pvp/pve with friends .
nice graphics.
stupid people to kill =)
I havent played for more than 1 hour in the past 2 weeks, the server is just to crappy... I've quit trying (for now) and am playing a different game (world of tanks) at the moment, which I like alot too.
Why I play(ed):
1. Been playing it on retail the past 5 years
2. I made alot of friends, so it's semi-social aswell
3. PvP / PvE (hate quests)
4. Graphics
Stay very far away from Eve then lololol

Playing Eve for almost 2 years has made me paranoid. But at least I don't fall for the scams because of that =) In Eve everyone is out to get you, Lineage is a kid's game compared to that
Like watching others cry XD

Tera looks nice BUT it`s a game 100% depended of PING, because of targeting system, if you lag a little or do not have minimal ping you cannot pvp decently no matter how good player you are...It`s a really big issue if you are totally a PVP player..So that kind of suks,but in rest looks good
I play this game because I like login fail.
Because this was my first MMORPG, i became addicted, i try to find a new game, i play it, and i can't stop remebering the good times this game brougth me and i'm not having.
not hard to see all ppl play this game because there is nothing like Linage 2 it'S just the best MMORPG... If it was not we where gone from a while ...


about 1 hour to log in -------------------- Keep playing
Server lag -------------------------------Keep playing
Scam like never-------------------------- Keep playing
Ppl get **** because of poor security----- Keep playing... we are dumb or it'S the best MMO this is the only 2 option.:D

You sound like a WoW player, and that is a sad thing


If anything the game is better, I quit back in C1 and when I read about GoD I immediately resubscribed and started all over. I've played EVERY MMO that has come out since L2 and they all suck in comparison
I like the art style a lot more than any other mmo. I don't play very often, I might average an hour per week. It's a fun game though.
i quitted to play linege2 more than a year ago but when i quitted i saw the first trailer of GOD and i wanted to play GOD..
so my plan originaly was waiting for a private server with GOD
but ncsoft ****** my plans turning his servers free XD...
ima get killed for this one but wth lolol


im O C D (obsessive compulisve disorder)

and I Must Kill Mobs..... over and over and over.....

ive been known to stand in the same spot not moving killing the same 4 mobs 4 12hrs straight.......


And ill keep doing it till they pry the keyboard from my cold dead fingers....
Honestly, I don't really know. I actually thought about this for awhile last night, during a moment of rage at the game. Mostly because of my clan of 4 years, and some rl friends that I've played with since beta. If not for the community, I would have left in C1 and never looked back.

Merits on the game itself, the art draws me to it. I love the detail of the armor and weapons, most MMO's look drab in compassion, even new ones.

I've tried many MMO's trying to find a new "home" but just always end up back on L2. Maybe Blade & Soul or Guild Wars 2 will be my new home, but who knows. I never imagined I would be playing the same game for this many years, heheh. L2 is truly a love/hate relationship for me.

Nice try, bots! :D

Personally I was going to play the game as some free time activity, not too hardcore, not too casual, but honestly thanks to all the recent (and not so recent) troubles that we've all seen in past weeks kind of made me loose my will to play, so it's mostly AFK-ing (in rare case somehow I don't get disconnected in matter of hours).
Why?

To crush teh noobs!

To hear their lamentation on the forums!

And to watch them nerdrage-quit!

<3
No, Really why are you playing this game? What is your reason to get connected everyday and play?

Just one reason... Best MMO mechanics I've ever seen.

I hate faction based MMO games because in RL it's not as black/white as well. L2 (and also EVE online, but I dislike the space setting) is one of the few MMOs that differ in that where players make up their political system on the server ;)
i play because its an old school game,great pvp,i dont really like heavy questing MMO's.
I'm playing in because I'm addicted, since 2004.

The game is ****e now, all that was once good has turned into nonsense, the people are ******ed. There's hardly anything good in L2 anymore.

Just an addiction.

Nothing wrong being a WoW player. Blizzard knows how to make great games. I played L2 from OB to c5/c6, got terribly annoyed at the whole bot thing and that Dino expansion looked ... zzzz. Left L2 to stomp the LK a new one and by god, Wrath of the Lich King Expansion was probably the most fun I've had in an MMO. The Lich King dungeon run and fight is still the most memorable MMO experience i've had in a MMO.

Now i'm back with L2, it's still mostly the L2 that I left, minus 90% of the bots. To be honest I'm impressed with how NCsoft has managed the clamp down on the bots. But since it's all too new and early to start singing their praise, I'll leave it as that.
