It will be far better in memory then playing the actual game.

That might be.

But it doesn't have to be that good either, to still be better than the current games out there.

Even if you don't want to play this, please sign up and show your interest for the rest of us. :)

Interesting. I have started playing the original lineage 2 again. I hope to have a report for you. It certainly is bringing back old memories. But the Bot problem and script users is horrendous

Hello everyone!

 

Some of you might still remembe me, some probably dont know me.

 

The news of Lineage 2 Classic also reached me and it's highly intriguing. I am going to give it a try. I'll be playing it casually this time and without hoping the game to feel the same way it did the first time. I'd be interested to know if anyone from the old Lineage 2 Ginnunga is going to play or at least give it a shot. It would be nice to see most if not all of you ingame again.

Omg Narsilia........ I might give it a try. My feeling is it will be pay to win though. And I don't see an end to the botting problems

Hey Everglade!

 

Very nice to see you, hehe. I hope you're doing good!

 

The game will be pay2play which means there won't be any microtransactions, no L2shops of anykind, no pay to win. There are some talks about possiblity of a cosmetic shop being added in future but certainly not at the start. The bot issue is big but Innova is doing a way better job at banning them compared to NCwest.

Since Everglade made a topic about how the current L2 is doing, I thought I should post a bit more about how L2 Classic is, so below is posts from a thread I made on another forum, based on a lot of researching, and playing on the Russian L2 Classic server a bit:

 

 

L2 CLassic is based on C1/C2, with modifications to make it more balanced, its important to note that it is NOT the original L2, there are mostly likeley changes you hate, but also changes you love.
 
A few quotes here from the Innova voting page, before I dip into more details:
 
"Levelling in Lineage 2 Classic is so hardcore that you will be severely punished for mistakes and you will value each point of experience. Incomparable fun for all the fans of classic hardcore!"
 
"Is open PVP and hunting innocent players your favourite source of fun? Get ready to lose valuable equipment if you fail to stand the battle"
 
L2C is using the same client as the "normal" L2, 
L2C have aproximately 1/6 drop rate of original L2, this means soulshots are too xpensive to use, and even using arrows can take quite a chunk out of your income, 
Max level is currently lvl 75, 
Top armor grade is b-grade
Don't expect to make a constant party and get max level in no time, 1-40 will take you at least a month, of hardcore grinding.
Kamaels and Ertheias do not exist.
Sieges not yet implemented (coming with Age of War)
No catacombs (Don't know if it will come)
If you die to mobs, you may drop items, if you die to PK, nothing, besides some hard earned exp.
Aden and its territories coming in update Age of Splendor
 

- no herbs
- no newbie helper (no weapons / no buffs / no jewelery / no tokens)
 
- you can use http://lineage.pmfun.com/ for drops but:
  • gold drop chance is about 50%
  • gold amount is about 1/6 of the amount on the page
  • there are monsters in game not listed on this site (eg.
 
- regen mp is about 2mp/tick when sitting for warriors
- regen mp is about 3.5mp/tick when sitting for mages
- regen hp is about 30hp/tick when sitting for warriors
- regen mp is about 20hp/tick when sitting for mages
*tick is every 4sec
 
- stun and sleep is almost 100% chance
- poison magic skills can crit / half crit and does huge damage, even when they fail to poison the target
- you can buff / heal mobs :) [haven't checked berserker trolling yet]
- there is monster truck derby (not accessible from starting villages) [main trading post]
- heal can crit
- magic damage is not flat (you can do wide area of damage with same skill of the same mob eg. 220-285)

Most of those things you listed are original to prelude L2. Its basically a modified prelude not C1-C2. C1 already had Aden, DVC, etc.

 

A lot of people are worried if not shocked at how hardcore the grind is, most of these same people didn't play L2 pre GoD update.

I guess you can debate "based on" since a lot skills did not exist in prelude, like, Snipe, Benediction, Clarity, G-shield/G-Might, Wild Magic etc. etc.

However it hardly matters, safe to say is though, It's the old L2, before NCSoft ruined it :)

Yeah thats true, hehe. Content is prelude like, skills are prelude to c5 like or something and UI is modern. :)

 

All in all, like you said, its the old L2. Or L2 like it should have been. :P

Neeeeever played Lineage (as in any of them) :) but i'd be happy to give a it a try when and if EU servers opens.

 

Maybe any of you can give me a comparrison between this and DaoC (pre ToA) ? Like grind needed, crafting, and pvp/rvr ? :)

Well we are hitting the 15k votes they wanted today most likely, and still a week to go (they closing the voting on the 21. may), so I would say we are getting it for sure, question is when :)

 

Can't help you with the comparison though, I never played DaoC :)

Your average 4days of playing time in a new game before you vanishes without a word, will not take you past the starter area.
