Hmm, i have given up with l2, it's soooooo boring (for me) nowdays, i have started Aion, it seems interesting, but still i miss l2 old times. That's why i play Assassin's creed now ^^. Gl to those who will continue with l2, but really, believe me, if NcSoft creates a new chronicle of l2, which will reborb Prelude-Interlude gameplay; classic and real, then you will see again LOOOOOTS of players on Lineage II, and Lineage II's reborn*.
reborn = Not they way you understand it, you might say: "oh noob go die l2 iz pro with freya" or "freya is something new and cool". My opinion: You create a game, keep updating it, make it balanced and better, but don't change WHOLE style/look of its gameplay.
Again, gl.
