1/ C1-Interlude clients were serious stuff for me, then the game lost its originality, diversity and differentness from the other games. It really used to be serious game. But now, running around in Lineage 2, seeing those cute little animal NPCs (which I HATE), this new faggy location (fantasy land is it? it has some weird name), all this cute stuff ruined the seriousness of the game. But this is not the only reason why I don't like the new clients, you must agree that game became much EASIER.
2/ But it's not their fault, I hate it so much, but still I realize that it's fault of providing Lineage 2 in Java language. If it didn't happen, there would be just official and worthy servers.
3/ Agreed.
