Lineage2 is a good game. New graphics is a pro for it and so other new features since it would a new refresh cause its a 6 years old MMORPG which didnt have much luck. I wont talk about cons since I haven't seen it so i can't judge it.
I guess your just guessing. Cause the game is not imagined by one person but by a group of people. And no they have nothing to do with the dev team/director their role is just to bring to life the ideas of a much bigger group of people.
What does the team have to do with how the game is? I guess you never heared of project managers and plans. The Dev team does what its told not what they wana do.
well Lineage2 new project is good maybe new players which are not IL FTW will join and well there will be more fun :)
