No offense, bro, don't want to confuse u but to clear some things in mind about this game. Imo this game is too old (it's 14 years old) and unable to bring fun anymore (i'm about lineage 2, the serv and admins are good) Wanna feel l2 classic? Well you may have fun for 1-2 days because of nostalgy (like i did). And after that prepare to farm, farm, farm)) You'll hit mobs for , like you've said, 10-12 hours, to earn virtual money, which has almost no meaning to you in a real world. Making routine actions that are very boring. Since amount of money you can earn is unlimited and maximum lvl is very hard to reach, l2 is unending game, but it has no sense to play since it doesn't have any interesting content. In normal RPGs there's a plot, quests, interesting characters that roleplay, interesting locations where you go to explore and not to spend 3-10 days real time because u need to get a spellbook or spoil tons of resources. In L2 all you'll do is killing mobs (solo or with smb doesn't change the situation radically, only both of u are engaged in some bullshit ) and pray on money or weapon u are forced to have. Please don't take this personal anybody. It's just my game experience). You are right man but the thing is after i stopped l2 i moved to league of legends and counter strike global offensive in both games i reached high ranks like in lol diamond and in cs go global idk if you know about those games but what i wanna say is then i just stopped those games cuz i did what i want i reached where i want then it was just no fun for me playing those games and you know what? we are old guys man for ex im 23 years old too old to start a new mmorpg game and start learning all those new things and try to play new hardcore thats why i wanna play here and about xping solo and with party you said it doesnt change anything for me it changes when i play with good guys WHO are not stupids but know how to have fun its just ok you play together you just dont farm you speak also and believe me ive friends from this game like 8 years ago i still talk with em and they are from diffrent countries so its cool. ty for your comment but i think i will still play here and i hope many people come after 2.0 update
