LoL ?!?!?! noob
What a limited review filled with false information. Do some research before you post this trash. I wonder why you even posted a review based on Beta play anyway. This is the best online game I've played and I've been playing online games since Zork before there was even an Internet. I am heartily disappointed at how narrow the reviewer's perspective was. There is a reason why this game was 5 times larger than everquest when EQ was at its peak - before it was even released in America. Great game highly recommend, ignore the review . . . too many mistakes in the review to post here.
MMOs take time, no doubt about it. Maybe a reviewer who has the time to invest in an MMO might be a beter choice for an accurate portrayal of the game, which is going to last much longer and bring joy to more gamers than this reviewer has.
Perfect review, and I agree 110%
This game is very fun, even though there are the problems with adena farmers & ebayers, the gm's are clamping down on it. Over the previous weeked over 100 players where banned though reporting to GM's by other players.
Even though it is hard to level somtimes thats the whole point ,who would want a game where they could get to top level in just a few months. Playing i partys is absolute fun, it elimates the feeling of the grind, and makes the game much more enjoyable.
yeah i downloaded the lineage 2 demo and it says i need an ID and password and i went to the website and i signed up and i tried logging on and stuff and it said it didnt work...any pointers please?
Either you play this game on private server with higher rates like I do, either you'll get bored out of your ground.. Global rates are totall absurd and you'll find yourself working, not playing everytime you kill mobs.. I think they put such low rates on oficial servers just milk more money from players on Ebay, definetely not for them to have more fun..
Well most of the review has good and bad points only one I will comment on. The one which concentrates on the resources and crafting. Granted, if you're a crafter you will have hard time getting resources needed. But you will be the first person to get invitation into a clan. Once there you will not need to get items / materials yourself. Other clan members will help out. If you're NOT in a clan, you CAN have more than 1 character. And "luckly" enough besides crafters there are scavengers. As name implies their MAIN skill is getting materials. Spoiling monsters is the way to go. Once you know what you're after all you need to do is find out (or ask someone) what monster you may spoil for the material in question and you're sorted since there are monsters with 100% spoil rates for most (if not all) materials.
nooooob
the review+merlin pretty much say it all, too much focus on keeping people ingame for a long time period.
played it on a 15x server some weeks, thats more exiting but a bit fast nonetheless(crafting and spoiling b+grade items nonetheless stays just annoying work).
something like 1,5x xp/sp per monster would definately make the game more fun to play, esp as 1-20lvl ist pure singleplayer and lemme tell, on eof the worst - better play some classic morrowind/gothic-series...
the mapping/grafics are very nice/smart, as with great textures the designers managed to save some polys and therefore make the game less fps-eating.
super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
