Hello players of Lineage 2. I have some questions that hopefully can be answered in a descriptive and helpful manner :D.

1. Its come to my attention that some servers have more Non-English speaker than English speakers. I'd prefer if someone could direct me to a server with a majority of English speakers and what is that server's population like in terms of size?

2. What class is the most newb-friendly? Something I can play and can understand the general function of the game.

3. How is PvP and CS balance? I ask this because this used to be a P2P game and going F2P must cost the company something to keep the profits coming in.
1. Chronos and Naia. Old servers, with lots of (English speaking too) people on. However, you better choose a server based on your time-zone.

2. Some heavy armor warrior class? They barely require any brain or positioning. Or a tank, they're always needed in parties after 85.

3. PvP balance is horrible. What's CS? NCSoft uses the in-game store and web shop to keep the servers running.

Yes, i would like to hear about this (un)balanced pvP..

just downloading game, starting to play and curious about all :)
The L2-CS is probably the most balanced I have ever seen in terms of F2P MMO's. They have dabbled a few times in items that were questionable, but not overly so. But it's not like most F2P games where you have to buy in order to play end game. Most of the CS items revolve around costume attire and XP packs.
Sadly, if the OP was to make a toon on Chronos, he would run into a lot of non-english speaking ppl.

Most keep saying busco baf/buf plis to me.

Too bad I dont speak their languare or I could have helped them/Too bad they dont speak my language or I could have helped them.

You basically need to be 90+ to accomplish much in pvp. And there are many players more equipped, further ahead than you. Good to try and get higher level fast and get in a good clan before pvping, Otherwise you end up getting creamed by 7 players vs you alone.

agreed, too many players are higher,better equipped with a high lvl clan with skills.

You vs. anything higher level than you.

There is no real PvP in this game until level 90+

Not true!

If you have good gear a 85 can kill 90+, my tyrr is living proof of that:D
