One of my favorite things about classic Lineage 2 is the fact that dying has real meaning.. even if that meaning is just spending a few hours to get back the -4% exp loss.. not saying you don't have a point, just my take on it. Classic Lineage 2 also you have a chance of dropping items (including weapon and armor) from dying to monsters.. i loss my brig shield to a Chinese farmer on retail once due to that... sad moment in L2 history..
