[Discussion]Is L2 dead? If yes,why?

[tomasgl]

this game is so unbalanced, but very fun xD

[Tryskell]

L2 spirit, anyway the L2 spirit I loved (middle age / fantasy world) is dead since the introduction of Kamaels.

 

It became another game, and GoD is apparently the final blow. I don't even talk about dwarves backstabbers with HighF(ail)ive.

 

When they had good concept, they just added more and more skills, more and more features, and now it became a casual game with no spirit at all.

 

If you got something to retain from L2, that would be Chronicle 3. After IL, you can't call *that* "Lineage 2".

 

 

 

They should take C3 and put a territory war system using the seven signs background, with updated graphic engine. But hey, I'm not NCSoft.

About private servers, they are a part of L2 marketing. They never have been in competition with retail servers, they are alive publicities about how people like L2.

 

I believe even after the official end of L2, private servers will exist for some years. Just because it's oldschool.

Well the spirit never dies actually...the game itself i far from dead everyone who think that is either dont have a clue or just a fanatic of unbalanced booring oldschool gameplay thats all.

 

People think l2 is dead because the fact that the NA retail server is crap yes its crap but that doesnt mean the game is dead. The other servers such as the koren ones or l2.ru for example ar at their prime and they thank you they are more than pleased with the state of l2.

 

Separate the death of a game from a useless and pointless personal opinion and base it on facts from the stats of servers(since if a game would be dead nobody would play it right?).

[Sido]

well l2 spirit really die.

 

after u learn most of the things, and get familiar with it,

 

ur kinda bored of playing, and even bored of new updates :P

 

 

imo this because l2 is based mainly on pvp, and not on quests.

farm/quests in l2 are like, go there and there , and there again ok u got this.

 

so the new "updates" are the same, go there and there and there again, ok u got this.

[lalalalalala]

I remember back in time when I was updating my C5 client to interlude and there was a dinosaur on the frontpage of the updater... C5 was like the dark age of L2, oath of blood - really cool name! In the background of the login screen Rune Castle was in fire, secret rituals and all the sensation of medieval things came to mind ... necropolis, catacombs, and other scary and dark stuff was all you could find in the map. But then dinosaurs, fantasy island, and really stupid accessories appeared - and that was only interlude.

 

That felt very bad, like-- dinosaurs are not for this game!!! I didn't really care about the fantasy island, it was supposed to be an events place, but I still thought to make it look like that, that it was stupid as hell... Now I think about that, and I didn't even yet see the horror of the lolarmors in the next updates

 

Now, I like many things of the recent updates, but absolutely hate some others because they destroyed the medieval style of the game (lolarmos,  again)

Conclusion : L2 died from IL/HB

If that would be the case nobody would play the game or atleast not that much people.Besides yes l2 is not a story based game but people like it for totally different things than a quest system and story people like it because of the combat part.

Thats true altho i dont see how an armor can destroy the medieval style of a game.

Again if l2 would be dead people would not play it.

 

Nobody will ever come up with some valid arguments?

i dont say that here are not ppl that like this kind of games,

 

what i say is, we all liked more the game when we were newbies :P

[Reptant_]

L2 is based on a story

You could 'feel' it in older chronicles..do you ever compare pvping with D grade and 500 atk speed ,than pvping with Elegia and 1200+ atk speed?

 

no way

Well thats true for a chronicle but not for an entire game cause there are ppl who like each chronicle more and more.

Gameplay isn't the same,now

Gameplay isn't the same,now

 

ofc if the gameplay would be the same like it was 3-4 or 5 years ago the game would died out alredy because of lack of updates :D
