This was a really dumb move. They were’nt making players pay, they were a donation server. You donate, you get some items free. I hope the FBI releases the server again. IT was the best L2 server ever. I have never experienced lag.

What i find funny is that half of you all is prob running a bootleg copy of windows and god knows what else u never paid for and DL and just think about the large amount of shit u have stolen from companies. yet everyone is quick to jump on extreme i’m not saying it was ok to steal but i wont be tossing no stones at them for it.
If l2 lost people to private servers its there own fault that game sucks and was boreing hell look at l2 now what are they doing the same shit private was doing by putting in world Gk’s and hats and all these accessories that private been had so who is copying who now. Ohwell i don’t care its just funny that l2 says they got 100K players on american server while a private had 50k lol they should have hired them to run there offical they would have made some money

“The people who enjoy L2\’e2\’80\’99s grind enjoy it because your character is never \’e2\’80\’9cdone\’e2\’80\’9d.”

Thought that was, well, Eve.

The people who enjoy L2's grind enjoy it because your character is never "done".

Currently in L2 you can reach level 80, subclass, reach 80 again, become a "hero" of your main class by winning a 1v1 PvP tournament each month... and then, if you really want to, you can subclass 2 more times.

No one has actually done all that progression yet. And I'm sure by the time someone is close, the cap will be raised again. But the point is that there is an audience of people who want to be in a constant upward movement where if they play more, they can be fractionally above everyone else. Even if being above them doesn't make them directly "stronger" in encounters, but simply more versatile by having more classes at their disposal.

Heartless may be right, when it comes to WoW players, but I think theres still a large audience of people who like games without easily reachable hard caps on progression, or large bottle necks like raids to progress after a certain point.

Psychochild, I’d still rather have people level to the cap, quit, and not come back till the next expansion pack because they had capped out than people who didn’t play the game at all because of the grind.

For every person you know like that Phsycochild I bet Blizzard can point to hundreds of thousands that aren’t

Blizzard wouldn’t of made a dime if it was a grindy game and if the changes occuring in The Burning Crusade have said anything… Blizzard understands where their money is coming from. Easier and faster dungeons. Leveling speed directly proportional to the content available. PvP honor being changed to a less hardcore grind. Hmmm sounds like Blizzard knows that grindy games suck ass and don’t make money.

I understand the different perspective, but it has been said since day one of WoW and it has been proven wrong by the millions of players Blizzard is keeping happy by simply having a fun to play game at release.
