Bots ABound, Grinding Like No Other!
User Rating: 1 | Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle PC
Ive played retail for over 2 years. It makes me sick to think about all the time I had spent grinding in the same room. Lineage 2 breaks down to nothing more than a grind. Most of the players I knew started using 3rd party programs to automate the process. With this comes penaltys. The economy is destroyed since players can run these bots 50 at a time and sell the money on Ebay and the likes the price of rare items is through the roof. On top of that NCsoft doesnt seem to care about it. Its so blatant yet report after report the bots still run rampant day in day out. As for the legitimate player expect to play for 6 months to a year to get to the higher levels. Once you have reached the higher levels the death penalty is stiff. I have spent 3-6 hours to gain a few percent towards the next level only to die and lose all the precious XP I just earned. Whats worse is the items you have are rare and can be droped with a death from a mob or a player. If you have no loved ones living with you and you can tolerate months grinding in the same bleek dungeon rooms then this game is for you. I suggest avoiding retail Lineage 2.
