I might give it a whirl. .Real easy, since the rates are high you can get to endgame in a couple hours(atleast that's how it used to be). The rates are high because it's a PvP server, so the server is all about clan warfare and cool shit like that. on the topic of themes, dion has the best theme by far lol | ||

I think I might give this a go. Will the MS be bad from the UK? | ||

Ah yes! I almost forgot about the music in lineage. I use to sit in Hunters village and RP with guildies. Benjef, check the official website www.lineage2.com if you want to read up on classes. Installation guide should be up on Lineage 2 Renewal. | ||

GM'd on extreme and vendetta and whenever I see people playing this game it makes me miss it soooo bad but I won't let myself play it again as it'll never be like before D: Coincidentally though, my clan that went from server to server was called "uprising" ^^ Private servers are fun, but its a joke to say they were better than retail. Private servers weren't even close in terms of drama and politics. Dying on retail when you were lvl 70+ actually meant something since it tooks hours to farm again. | ||

Dying on retail when you were lvl 70+ actually meant something since it tooks hours to farm again. Its rather the official servers being worse than the private ones being "better". If NC Soft had actually cared for this game, supported it, kicked out bots, farmers, ebayers, made reasonable expansions after c4 it may have turned out different. As things stand, some private servers still have far better support and rules for their game than NC Soft in 2011. There are established and well known large private servers that have worse drama than good old bartz. Alas, Death being meaningful is one of the things i truly missed on privates, even if the rate was only 4x. Such a joke, even before vitality. | ||

I played in Uprising under the character Kularus (my char can be seen in the main PvP grp in alot of the fights in the Uprising vid linked in the OP), epic times and an epic game :D, have fun on the private server! xp boosts are definitely necessary, grinding out .25% in an hour with the most stacked XP group possible wasn`t always fun, at least I played the most lazy PvE class possible  .Cool seeing a true L2 OG on Team Liquid, you reminded me of this http://www.myspace.com/denialrap/music/songs/fuck-uprising-22213891 On March 23 2011 10:44 Automata wrote: I played on L2 back in 2005/2006.

That was some good times. I played on other private servers too but donator items ruined some of the fun in it. Awesome!! I played on HSC to. I was in Triads, do you remember them? (trollface) Played L2 since beta and tons of private servers, only low rates though. Used the names gr3g and BigJohnson HSC L2ER L2Paradise Supremel2 Those were some good times. Anyone else play some of these pimp servers? Edit: Got a couple youtube links of some pvp from my guild: - First Antharas fight of SupremeL2 5x, I was playing clon3r on the left side sniping foos http://www.own3d.tv/video/12615/Exodus_-_Supreme_x5 - This video is pretty good ++ http://www.own3d.tv/video/12893/4s_inev_vs_reborn | ||

The top private servers have had on going community's for years with the top guilds known by everyone. Your confusing high rates with the top low rates which were actually more populated than the majority of retail servers. The top privates had better support, better community, and dieing still mattered. Not to mention that 99% of all EXP on retail was botted anyways, and on privates even if the rate was 5x you had to play yourself. The insane grind for XP kinda stopped in recent years anyways, with vitality and just general exp rate increase, easier to solo now etc etc. | ||

The only thing that might be lame is that you only need to farm quests/S ++ grade items. But still, drama and pvp rock in Lineage 2. Cant wait. Edit. Who has the most experience running a guild? Being a guild leader is a taunting task. I know I've been one. | ||

The most problematic for me would probably get used to the point and click movement again after playing wow/aion and getting used to wasd movement :/ But nothing really beats the political system that L2 has except for maybe Eve but no currently made MMO can ever compete with the sheer epicness of totally playerdriven content that comes from people just wanting what other people have :D | ||
