Got to admit that when my real life friends stopped playing l2 i started feeling negative torwards the game, however that was the time i begun making friends from all over the world through l2 and that made me enjoy it once again later. I've been playing l2 since late 2004 and i still find it mesmerizing however since now i dont have anyone to play or talk about l2 with i dont play much anymore. The last few years i got into developing like most of the people here, got to say that experience changed my perspective for the game, i realised how easy it is to become corrupted and how many problems exist. Even lineage 2 as a game has problems that no dev can fix. I believe if people stop trying to make the next best server and go back at playing again lineage 2 as players lineage 2 will become lively again. The excuses that the new post interlude updates suck are childish, the game in its core its still the same, i know because i used to make that excuse, but now if i find a nice group of people that can work together i can play again anytime.
