I'm not sure if anyone here plays Lineage 2, but you guys should give it a try. Lineage 2 has come a long way in the last year, 3 more Chronicles have been released and the game is much cooler. For instance, in Lineage 2 you can craft your own items from gathered materials. You can't do that in WoW. There are so many things that EQ, WoW and GW lack so badly compared to L2, including nice graphics. WoW is cartoonish in comparisson. There are also many quests, etc. and many things to do.

I am a GM of a new private server that recently switched from WoW to Lineage 2. Lineage 2 is a lot cooler than WoW and GW, once you play it you will wonder why anyone ever liked WoW. Our private server isn't like the official, we have raised rates conisderably so instead of taking 3-6 months to get a medium level character, you can do it much more quickly. We are not, however, like those private servers where rates are all 1000000X and you can get the highest level in one or two days. We also have usually 4-5 events per week. We have castle sieges where your clan teams up with other clans or if you are big enough attacks a castle on your own to get that castle for your clan. Castle benefits include taxation, special shops, etc. We also have coliseum (3 v 3 team combat) event every Sunday and an Arena survival event every Saturday. We have Dungeon sieges throughout the week and there is always a treasure hunt going where you have to find a special item hidden somewhere and return it to a GM for a prize.
You can download the Lineage 2 program for free from the official site www.lineage2.com

Then you need to go to our server web page http://hav0cl2.webhop.net and download the patch and follow the simple instructions on where to paste the files into the Lineage client and use the custom L2.exe from the system folder to start it up (not the default desktop icon.)

Some cool things about our private server

-No lag, the server is running on dual p4s with over 4 GB of ram. We can handle thousands of players. The connection is extremely fast, most people have pings under 300.
-There is a team dedicated and reliable GMs who host events, fix bugs and respond to players in-game regularly. GMs are not corrupt, we do not give away stuff. GMs are also friendly and are happy to answer questions.
-Our rates are higher than official but not extremely high like many servers where you can get the highest lvl in a few days.
-The c4 content is working, including the hero system, noblesse system, Olympiad, etc.
-Pets work(ie: striders and flying wyrms). You can even rent striders and wyverns from the pet shop.
-All speeds are enchanced, fighters have haste skill which X2 their speed and mages have X2 casting speed.
-We are very open to suggestions/feedback/criticism. We have a forum for the server where you can go hang out, do clan stuff, post bugs/suggestions or just chat.
-No need to register, just enter a user name and password and it automatically creates an account the first time you sign onto the server.
-Our custom rates are: 15X experience points, 20X skill points, 15X money, 30X drop rate, 35X spoil rate.
-We are on a 1gbps connection and most people have pings under 100. There is NO lag.


So, if you are interested, even if you have never tried Lineage before, I invite you to come check it out. I remember how pleasantly surprised I was when I started playing Lineage 2. Come join our growing community!



***This private server, unlike most private servers, is legal. This is because we are a L2J server that does not use official NCSoft files.***

....L2 is a grind fest. If u think it's better than WoW then I guess you love killing the same mobs a few hundred times.

oh Wait! with boosted exp rates and drops you won't feel a thing. So ..what am I really trying to play for? F1- Soulshot, F2- attack. Repeat. Rebuff.Repeat. Rebuff.

And then when i'm high lvl i can go PK someone. Whoopeedo.

WoW is a grind fest too ... the only diference is that you dont notice because quests give XP and so you dont have to go out of your way to grind for XP.

Take away XP from quests and lower XP for monster ... you get L2.

oh Wait! with boosted exp rates and drops you won't feel a thing. So ..what am I really trying to play for? F1- Soulshot, F2- attack. Repeat. Rebuff.Repeat. Rebuff.

And how is that compared with WoW?

I spend THREE FUCKING DAYS for one of those fucking Nagas to drop a quest item because it was a "rare" drop.

Drop rates suck on MMORPGs in order to keep people playing, its no wonder that private servers boost then because the grind is not of their interrest.

And then when i'm high lvl i can go PK someone. Whoopeedo.

L2 have open PK, you can PK at any time except towns.

Of course in NCSoft servers the DMs dont care if your lv20 gets PK by a lv 53, they dont care if that lv 53 is a jackass that goes to the starting villages and PKs the newbies for fun.

On a private sever they do, L2 severs have a 300 player cap (since the emulator only goes as far as that, its Java based) so if you are a jackass you get banned because its their server and they dont get payed for it.

Wow, all I can say is what a bunch of warped views of L2.

First off L2 beats WoW in a million and one ways. L2 has better quests, better crafting, better player competitions, it has castle sieges, better pets, myriad more classes and class changes, subclassing, we have server events, etc etc etc.

There are so many more things to do besides leveling on our server that its sickening, there is no way to get bored there.

Also, our awesome admin java coder has managed to stretch out version of l2j to have over 1600 people on it, so you are wrong about that also. Come see for yourself, its free, so you might as well check it out. Also, rates are not so high that you get highest level in a few days.

Planetside will soon be doing their fodder program where you can play for free (no credit card info needed) for 365 days. You can't go over Battle Rank 6, so you'd have to specialize more, but goddamn I'm looking forward to it.

If you haven't heard of planetside, think MMFPS, massive raids, tanks, cloakers, mines, shotguns, rifles and big robots with a 'king of the hill' capture the base gameplay. And sniping oh how I love the sniping.

The new official site is horrible, I would suggest checking out http://www.planetside-universe.com if you're interested in this.

1,000,001 is not equal to 1, 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ,6 ,7 ,8 and 10.

And most of the reasons you give are heavily debatable.
I played thru till C1 , finally getting sick of jamming F1 F2 to lvl sold my char to a clanmate, last time I heard he botted it and got it banned.

Behind you.
Fuck it. If it's free, I'll take a look.

Scratch that. Trying to navigate your page to find the patch and instructions took longer than my impulsive whim took to wear off. Never did find the instructions and patch.

not like thats to bad....you can just forget things and still beable to kill BR 24's it just counts for more for you and not for them when they kill you. I just canceled my account last month cause i just got bored of it and that not alot of people played it anymore...even at peak times. If what you say is true and people can play for free i might just reactivate my account cause the game might have new life breathed into it....

hope what you say is going to happen soon and does get more people to play.

It fucking sucks. You couldn't get me to play this game even if you paid me to. Enjoy grinding for 2 weeks for some armor that'll drop when you die.

Isn't ignorance wonderful? :roll:

Our drop rates are not that low, and there is no "grinding" unless you make it that way. There is so much more to do than that, that grinding is a waste of time and stupid.

Also, if you die and you don't have karma, you probably won't ever drop, so please continue to display your ignorance about our server.

I am playing L2 C4 in a x3 private server, started about less that a week ago.

In ways you are right, L2 is very farming but then again WoW end game is pretty much instance boss raid over and over again.

Lag Forge shown that to me, L2 also suffers the same issue but at least you can do a castle siege.
