There are too many silly servers out there, and im sorry guys but i blame the L2J users...
This started to spread like a disease and it took over L2OFF, everyone can set up a L2J server and since some time back i see alot of people are doing it.
As someone upper said, there are more servers than players, some of the dumbish servers should shut down since they own under 100-50 players online.
I started to play l2 since koreean beta and it was quite fun, nowdays its a star wars fest due to the ton of servers made by brazilians or dumb greeks looking for few bucks made from lolish donations.
Lineage is not dead, its just "made" dead by the people that make stupid servers and the players that play such servers.
I am a part of a mid-high community of l2 gamers and i know exactly what they look for, there are a shit load of people right now looking for a decent server ... and there isnt anything worth playing.
L2 is not dead, i shall prove it.
Suggestion to server owners : stop wasting time creating dumb servers and stop breaking the hearts of our l2 mates.
