Ha, that was me - Amato and Mongrel. Pretty sure I was like 8 beers deep and was totally lying about logging and knowing what everyones DPS was. I just round up a bunch of whoevers and do all the pulling/tanking/healing and as long as people aren't sitting at full mana im happy!

I'm with these guys cuz fuck all the egos in the other two :D

The whole idea is to jump into the raid scene at the HoT era (still 8 expansions old) as an alternative to a fresh start/progression/event server, not the same old classic onward we've done 10 times now. Most raid content would be skipped until HoT and that's fine, because no one wants to raid...

Here's my idea: Open all expansions up to House of Thule on day one and unlock the next as each is beaten. There's some really dope content that's basically unused these days and it would be a real challenge to start progressing in HoT starting from level 1 with no gear, but you would have a ton...

You're fuckboiiiii and 238586, aren't you. admit it.

As one of the opening events, there were slightly harder mobs around popular grinding areas. The weird part is they awarded you a buff when they died, which would give you a loot crate when it wore off 9 min later. Well that's not weird, just an unusual mechanic for an event mob. The weird...

Pretty interesting mix in chat, learning a lot from the old school L2 players. I feel like the real fun of this game comes from the end game pvp drama. Hope I last long enough to see it, so far so good tho.

Up to 32 on main and I started a 2nd box buffer class and still having fun. The russian streams have got to be smurfing their numbers, 700+ people as soon as they go live yet no ones talking. I've been streaming myself and there are very few english streamers it seems, so a little community...

Ah gotcha. Yea leveling really hasn't been bad so far, I'm guessing that's because these simple quests that give 70k + exp were added at some point much later in the games life. I keep hearing about being starved for shots but so far I haven't hit that point, when I do it may stop being fun...

Thanks for the input. We have Buffer + Ranger and I'm a Dark elf caster unsure if I should go nukes or heals. Buffer is an orc SS, we don't know if that will be enough heals for PvE and at least being able to defend ourselves a bit from gankers in pvp. As for movement and targeting, I have it...

As I understand it, you have to spend Ncoins to get VIP levels, with level 4 being 4K coins ($50) and it lasts for 30 days. So a $50 a month sub fee for %25 xp bonus and %50 loot. I'm sure plenty of people will do this but I'm fine without it. Also drop rates on any decent random loot is like...

Certainly has it's flaws, but it's giving me the oldschool MMO feels. If they can manage to curtail rampant botting this time around (big if) I'll sink some serious hours into this.

Couple friends and I are going to give this a go today. We never played back in the day so figured it would be worth a look anyway. Anyone have experience with old school L2? particularly what a good trio would be. Official site is under maintenance and the launch has been delayed by a few...

Forgot to mention I'm on cazic/fennin and would be down to group whenever.

Not sure why but I got the itch to see the newer stuff. Bought 3 kronos for 30 and made 3 new accounts to get membership discount on the current xpac so it was 15 and change each during the 50% off sale. 75 bucks for three fresh active accounts with all current xpac is not terrible really. Also...
