i think l2 has make his"circle" and now belongs to history even nc soft with many updates try keep it alive but in my opinion they fail cause turn it to an animation game etc
same i think happens to community,the old fasion gamers was respectable and now the upcomming kids likes more effects and grafix to see,devs see this and with many addons on latest cronicles they think can make some money by donate many thinks,thats cause in old cronicles (till interlude) servers has smallest lists for donate
