    no offense when I ask this:

    but, why in the world would you want to play lineage ][?  Have u seen all the crap that it's going through right now? 

    Seriously, you'd be waisting your money big time on it.  It's not worth playing for free much less paying for it.

    Please check out their official forums if you dont believe me....90% of the posts are negative.  Theirs hacking, exploiting, paid chinese people playing to get money to put on ebay (which in turn, means they will steal your monsters and kill them before you do), etc, etc.

    I promise you, if you buy it, 40 days from now you'll be kicking yourself in the butt for waisting your money. 

    If I were you, I'd go on the main mmorpg forum board and browse around it. There's several topics on what is a good mmorpg.  There's a lotta good answers there and you may find one you're looking for.

    Also, many people who left DAoC to play Lineage ][ was for the castle seige abilities. Well, in Lineage ][ youll be so pissed off, you wont think about that lol

    Finally, welcome to the forums!

    From a Closed Beta/open Beta/ and 2 month paid player: don't buy this game...you'll only be waisting your money. Trust me on this.  Check out the official mmorpg.com review..they even slammed it.

    But to your question: yes they do have PvP if you want to call it that.  It's more of a flawed PvP system where griefers can easily take advantage of newer players.  Their Karma system (penalty) system for PvP is extremely screwed up

    It seems all En1gma does is bash the game, so let me give it to you from an experienced side. Of course the boards are going to suck, but do you see the same people posting with the same problems? Yes, that's how it goes. Theres about 100 that actually POST on that board and do nothing but complain. I have been playing the game since Open Beta and absolutely love the game.

    The pvp/karma system is said to be bad, but honestly, it's fine if you are not a complete moron. The game requires a lot of time to be put into it to become more fun. If you don't have excessive amount of time, then don't bother. The noob levels are harsh yes, but once you pass them it's nothing but grinding and fun. Get in a clan and be ready for clan battles, castle sieges, all the fun stuff.

    Most of the reviewers play the game for an hour or 2 and say it sucks mainly because you can't "own" at this game in that little of time. Get a character up to 50 and then the game really blooms and becomes more fun. And I can tell by his post that En1gma is a carebear. If you can't take the heat, also don't try this game. Just go back to eating gummy bears.

    I played 2 months closed, 1 month open and 2 months of paid.  I think I have enough experience to know that this game sucks.  Plus, don't take my word for it.  Look at virtually every game review on it. The reviewer for mmorpg.com spent a couple months playing it and not 2 hours. image 

    Also to note on Nabisco carebear comment.  Its pretty hard to PvP when the other player never hits back. When you kill a player who never hits back, then you loose karma and becomes marked for all to kill you without no penalty on their side.

    Additionally, when you get killed when you are "marked" as free kill, your chances of loosing your items (armor and/or weapons) are increased.  Even if you are not marked and are killed in battle you still can loose an item.  Imagine saving up for a 32 million adena sword only to loose it for some guy to pick it up for free.

    The game is seriously fundamentally flawed. Exploits occur everyday (and not the kind that people just scam others in market...Im talking about hard core account hacking), the land is littered with chinese who gets paid to collect money so you'll see bots everywhere..I'm not just talking about a few bots..Im talking about just as many bots as there are actual players.

    I played to lvl 42 human, lvl 23 DE, and a lvl 32 Dwarf so I do think I have enough experience to say this game, in my opinion, sucks monkey balls.

    But I stand with what I said earlier. Plus just read what others had said about it.  Even Murt stopped playing the game and he was Lineage ][ biggest fan here on the forums.

    When I bash a game I do not do it on intent to make fun of a person's family or sister.  I bash the game and I think the game sucks and not the people playing it (unless you're the hacker type of course).

    If you wish to buy this game, then by all means don't let me stop you. However, can you return back to us and tell us how you feel about the game 2 months down the road? Thanks! image

     

    PS: If I can deter just one person from playing this game then I feel I have done the world a beautiful thing. image

    Also, feel free to read what other players thing about it http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setView/ratings/setRView/none/gameID/46

    Okay I made another response but these forums seem to hate me. I don't feel like typing it again, so just take my advice and try the game if a free trial comes out.

    lol no one hates you.  I just hate the game.  You could be a very wonderful person.  I have nothing against you.  If you love the game, then you like.  I wont bash you cause u like it.

    Here's some free advice. If you want people to take you seriously in life learn to spell. Otherwise you'll just be a joke, not worth the time to even look at.

    image i played only in open beta. Really addicted for about  a week(5-6 hours a day) but then I felt really bored. The problem of the game is that it is for hardcore players. If you do not play 5-6 hours you will achieve nothing.  Its XP grind and money grind is huge. The game is fun after lvl 20. To get to there you need to play at least 2 weeks (5-6hours a day) non stop killing mobs. I manage it to 17 lvl dwf and fed up of the game. The fun of the game is the PvPing but to get to this you need to do xp runs for 2 months. Not to mention bot campers selling adena on eBAY. The game does not sux. It is just for hardcore players. Never experienced castle siege (and never will). Good luck to new Lineage2 players. (sorry for my typing). ... lol I forgot to mention that the game gameplay is a little flat and the diversity is even worse than the gameplay. What i hated most is that everyone looks the same. The Creation center of the charch sux hard. Like elfs can only have blond or white hair. Two kind of faces. Lol i do not want to look like everyone else.... Well that is all. Everything in this game is earned through long hours of playing and sacrifice. too hardcore.

    But based on reading through the official forums, it seems like they are getting a better handle on issues and customer support/relations. But yes I also agree that some problems take far too long to resolve/ if at all.
    I took about a month off from playing L2 ( played Doom3 and the WoW Stress Test as well as assorted others) and I can honestly say I'm enjoying it again. I "really" think that if u'r not a hardcore gamer the lvl grind is a bit taxing after a while. But on the other hand it's kinda nice to know that there is plenty of lvl's and content/areas left to explore. I haven't even been to Cruma yet lol This is not a game that you can max out with an uber char in a month! And that's good...it's just that sometimes the pace feels TOO slow image
    I hardly ever group (because of my limited amount of time to play in one sitting) but I did yesterday afternoon and had a great time. Was with a lvl 25 Elven Healer (I'm lvl 24 Elven Knight) and we just cleaned house on the Bugbears in RoD (Ruins of Despair) he lvl'd to 26 (new skills now!) and I'm really close to 25...so that was cool!
    Also...there was a high lvl RED (pk'er)  lurking near but I learned that he was exclusivly a BOT killer! Which I think is VERY cool!!!image
    The other day though I ran into an area outside that I wanted to just take out a mob or 2 to see how I did against them...but this Dark Elf guy was completely Camping the spot...so I waited till one spawned right next to me and attacked it...he ran all the way over and Kill Stealed my target...which ticked me off so I tapped him (1 hit) to let him know I didn't like it. Well he hit me back with 1 hit that did 600+ damage to me and was an instant kill. It really made me made at the time, but hey that's the risk you take in this gameif you attack some one. I knew it..I just got a bit cocky lol and thought I was a tuff lvl 24 image
    But I have his name and someday we may meet again hehe...to me things like that make L2 more exciting.
    The game is far from perfect...but what it does right it does VERY well!
    My advice is this...try to find a friend or someone you know and get them to let you start a char and get a small taste of the game...see what you think. If that doesn't work out and you have an intrest in this type of game (after reading the official forums and site so you have some idea what to expect) then just buy it and give it a try. You can always trade the game in to EB games if you find it's not for you...you won't be out tthat much and you'll be able to say you tried something different.
    There will always be people who completely bash a game, just as there will always be fan boys of that same game lol But the majority of players find themselves somewhere in the middle. I've always found it's better to make my own mind up about games (as well as movies) image
    Anyway...sorry for the long post, Best of luck to all!

    I posted this on another thread...perhaps it will help a bit. I suggest going to the official site and read up on the games content .

    In answer to your original question though...YES there is PvP (at a cost) and much of PvE/Mob

    Good Luck!
