Ur right. L2V was a good server in the past c4-c5 times. then after they upgraded to c6 it just went down. Maybe its becouse ppl just dont want to play the real l2 cronicles or its becouse of the bad name that pyro have got in the past. Well i dont know and i dont even care. The faqt is the pyro its a good dev, he knows what to do but he is just doing it for money. Well the question is who nowdays dont open a server for money? everywhere u will go u will have donators. The servers to have some fun with r/l friends have gone. Its a matter of faqt.
L2 is dying anyway. The great old times to play l2 have gone. There werent so many servers to play but all of them were good and well made. If u have played before u will know what i am talking about.
What have rested of L2 are plenty of l2 lol java servers and l2off server which dye / will dye after 2 mounths.
My advice: if u want to play, play it. I am neutral.
