Lineage 2 Open Beta Problems
I really love this game but NCsoft dropped the ball really bad on the start of open beta tonight. The community rep originally said they would have 8 to 10 servers for the start of open beta. Later he dropped the number to 4. Now when OB finally started they only have 3 servers.
Due to some serious poor planning the servers are so crowded they are crashing repeatedly, the monsters are all on such a long lag that you can kill them before they fight back, and there are about 5 players for 1 every one monster. Also many of the quests arent working as the npcs are too lagged to respond properly.
If your new to L2 and trying it today please take it with a grain of salt. Durring closed beta the game ran very smoothly and most all of the problems that are making the game unplayable are due to massive overcrowding. Hopefully NCsoft will get some new servers up soon and the game will be back to running as smooth as normal.

I agree. My advice to new OB players is simple : dont play too much in the first days. Get a feel of the game and try out several races but wait for NC to put more servers up. The game in its current state is simply unplayable.
NC needs to work on how they run their servers. They've actualy had to run multiple instances of the same city zones on CoH just to keep ppl from lagging. Even though there's not really that many ppl around in terms of an mmorpg's usual # of players.
Don't know what Lin2 was expecting, with all these contests and everything there was bound to be a flood of ppl dying to be there leveling right off from day one until lvl 40 and that nice Alienware comp.
I do agree though, give it a week or so before you delete it off yer comp. Let them straighten things out, they did manage to run the largest servers ever with Lin1 (The most popular mmorpg ever, ONLY by statistics ppl, and only if you look at the Korean server populations). Not most popular in the US, but statisticaly speaking they know how to handle large server loads, I think it's just gonna take them a bit to get their act together.
I would appreciate a good ole error message when logging on though. Most of the time I try I don't get anything, not even a "incorrect user name/password" if I type in a bunch of jibberish. So if it's gonna take them a while to straighten out the servers, plz plz plz give me that "Cannot connect to server" error message box I so crave.

It has been an insane day
Hopefully they will fix the servers within a few days.
We are the bold marines of space. We wade through gore and grue and if we do not like your face then this is what we'll do: We'll sneer and spit and call you names,tip napalm down your shirt. Your vest will be consumed by flames, and that will really hurt.
They shouldn't have gave out so many keys all at once with only 3 servers. They would have been better off keeping the beta closed and gradually adding more and more people.
The korean open beta worked because they had a lot of servers(10 is what I recall then it increased to 16 of them).
im insane, okay?!
Like I said in a separate thread, there are way too few servers. I saw it in Korea already and they had 16! servers for open beta. The crazy yanks only have 3. How on earth do the think that'll ever be enough?
Forget games like this all-together is my advice. A good game has no need for this many servers. One world for the entire community is the way to go, and yes it is very possible.
Now, if it only was autumn, and I could play a real MMORG *sigh*

Well we have to wait another 6 months for autumn here. Anyway, that's when I'm hoping the french developed game I'm waiting for will be completed.
NPCube are showing that they know where the future lies compared to all other developers of MMORPGs

I agree... I'm like this in Closed Beta "Ok.. good im level 10.. i got Red Sunset Sword..."
Open Beta "OH MY GOD!!! THEY KILLED KENNY YOU BASTARDS"... Well... as you have already known.. there are LOTS of people killing monsters like they are monsters... to know what I said.. you will have to find out when you try Open beta O_o
