Onwards to level ninety-errrr 86?

[Milliamao]

Hello again everyone!
Not really here to chat on much, but did want to say that I'm really not liking what NCSOFT did with the Easy mode 1 to 85 and hard mode 86 to 99.

Don't get me wrong, I played Lineage 2 from Prelude into C5 with the Oath of Blood...I was there when Devianne was still a server, and they were still un-merged. I knew what it was like to level in all these zones that now have ZERO traffic... How getting to level 40 actually took you the same amount of time it takes you to get to level 76 now...But these are the exact reasons I left L2. I left because I could not deal with grinding for hours, and hours with few and minor gains. It became Repetitive and boring.
Lets just say I'm an average player with about 2-4 hours of attention Span...
Grinding for 1 hour in this game Feels like 10 hours have just passed. I need some social interaction through Ventrilo to continue playing this, and on top of that PVP and EXP loss just kills me. If I lose 1% because some joe schmoe comes along and steals my room in Harnak, and I've only gained 0.50% in that time, oh my god I'm at a Negative % for that room.

I like what NCsoft did with Quests to help you level...what I don't like is that made them so scarce at level 85+. Sure you could do the dailies and maybe get 1-6% a day and level that way.... but it'll take you 17 days to get a single level, which the amount of time increases as you get closer to 89 mind you...
The most ideal way is to level Harnak with a group of 7 people, do your SoA daily and HOPE TO GOD that in the process you can keep full attention on this game so you don't fall asleep at the keyboard.
I love this game for PVP, but when the Level gaps are widening... it make it harder to PVP and also harder to enjoy the game. So will I exodus again? Maybe...but if I don't I have plans...I am a dwarf after all...

I'll make it so I have the most Adena on this **** server and become BANK DE MILLIA !!! So the day I quit all the Americans get a split of whatever the max money count in game is... :P

Lol yeah, it's not even worth it to go too far past 86 unless you wanna play with the elites. People don't have much will to do it on Shilen, except ofc for the top players/bots.

Goodluck with the Adena farming if you end up doing it. And what about Canadians, do we get a cut? :P

Getting 90+ is really not that hard, just takes a bit of time, most of you seem to play L2 for results not the "adventure"

If by results you mean PvP, Wars, Competition and general End-game stuff then yeah. I can't speak for everybody but for someone who's been playing L2 for a couple of years now, I don't find GoD adventurous at all.

Grinding and adventure are nearly at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Ive been playing l2 since 06, and I'm still not bored of the grind/pvp throughout the day. And by getting higher level it just gets more fun

you're playing korean grind game and complaining about korean grind?



here's what you do:
talk **** so people war you.
pve nonstop with a good party, pvp will come to you so long as you aren't at elpies. PVP lightens up the mood when you pwn scrubs that try to take your room, back to pve, repeat.


or be carebear, game>you, can't lvl past 86 and quit.

or just go bot, and get banned once you do hit 87 ))

Or could join fatnecktigers, and bend over....
But since I'm not really interested in joining the server powerhouse and bending over like some people ....
