    I don't know about you, but most people have jobs, obligations, families, hobbies, sports, generally called a life outside this automated grind game. Other than that, there is no situation outside pvp (and maybe some end-game content), but none whatsoever, where playing manually outperforms a macro. Active play is gone, since those long gone days you mention, things have changed and we are playing a different game, either we like it or not. It is not possible, effective or even sane to play activelly in a farming party. What do you expect, people to set up a party, turn on the macro and then sit in front of the monitor and stare at it in order to have your active play? That can't be right in any scenario you can think of, for any normal person... Do you need to communicate with people, are you looking for socializing? There are far better options than the l2 chat, trust me...

    Regarding the party matching, is it emptier now than before the raise of the limit? Obviously not, and it will stay the same even with 1 client limit. And the reasons for that are quite simple for anybody who uses half of brain: first one, for the reasons above it is not efficient, and secondly, you depend on other people in a party, and that is not a situation you can control. People get d/c, leave without announcing or you simply can't find replacement, and you end up spending more time trying to put the party together than actually playing, or even more. Is this right? Maybe not, but you need to farm 24/7 in order to get anywhere in this game, and that simply can't be done the way you want it.

    Since you mention nothing of the other aspects of the game that require multiple clients (I imagine they are of no interest to you, but quite necessary for the game), may I suggest as a solution to your discontent finding a constant party? 

    People generally don't need more than 3 chars in order to avoid actively looking for parties, and people who what to play more, simply get a cheap machine to run them, it's not the 3 client limit that stops them.

    Any way you look at it, the client limit does not influence active gameplay or party forming, and does not affect people who want to play by themselfs. What you ask for will not get you what you want, and simple evidence is that the situation was not different when the 3 client limit was in force.

    You poor thing. You haven't a clue as to how to have "fun" in L2. Why are you even playing? Simple question. Yea yea, log in your 10 toons, walk away and do whatever and you come back a few hours later only to find you all dc'd and you're all dead. Have fun, dearie.

    As right as that may be, killing the solution does not solve the problem.

    The game requires you to play multiple chars in order to advance, no question there: party matching is empty so you need more than 1 char to farm / you need to make adena, so you need a few shops / you need mats for upgrades, so you need a few fishers / you need recharge stones, so you need to level mentees. You  don't need to play multiple chars only if you accept you will never advance at a decent pace or you are willing to pay a lot of money for it.

    So we have a problem, the way the game is designed forces a player to play multiple chars, and the only decent solution is the 10 client limit, and what do you ask for? Kill the solution and keep the problem... Sorry, but that doesn't make sense.

     

    On the other hand, the 3 client limit was introduced in an attempt to eliminate melee lag - it didn't, therefore the client limit does not generate lag! The other 2 versions have the same limit - no lag there (once again proof that the client limit is not the cause for lag)! Devs themselves tested and the result was clear - 10 client limit does not generate lag!

    Raising the client limit does not necessarily increase the number of chars, since people (including myself) were already playing multiple toons from more laptops (3 in my case) - the only certain result is no more using multiple laptops in order to play the same number of chars.

     

    And you wonder why "party matching" is empty? Hello, it's because so many people have their own ARMY of toons!  Where's the fun in that?  Being in a party is what made L2 fun! Maybe you don't remember those days long gone, but I for one, prefer being in a party with "live" people... it's about communicating with people and being involved, rather than going afk for hours on end. Would you go afk during a castle siege or raid? Try interacting with people rather than being as AFK zombie.

    This game still Pay to Win ? or ncsoft already realize that they are killing the game ?

    Yes you either face it or leave it true that's why I left it

    From time to time I stop by here to see if I see changes...but it's getting worse

    and only those who already have a pj lvl 120 + very well equipped are accepted, the others simply don't matter at all... only if they attack their credit card one day they will have a stroke of luck

    when they have spent a fortune

    I was fortunate to have started playing L2 back in Oct 2005 so I slowly progressed and upgraded my gear over time. I don't know how anyone who started playing within the past 2 or so years will ever catch up without spending the equivalent of a 2nd mortgage. The game is now P2P instead of P2W. My advice... stay clear or any games produced by NCsoft / NCAmerica. God only knows who's actually in control and at the helm now.

    ohh ya of course thats true and thats sad i hope they realize someday, and they focus on fix the Adrenaline problem,  remove pay to win, and add a subscription like old times, or another way to earn money that dont affect the gameplay, couz i understand that is also a bussines. But right now the game sucks.. and it  have the potential tobe the best mmorpg... if they saw the amount of people that play illegal server , i think they will know its better to do that i said before or something like that...

    I wouldn't hold your breath... it'll only get worse... either deal with it or quit.

    What is going on with this game?? It's unplayable.

    Laggy site, lag in-game, critical errors, launcher won't open at all and loading for ever.

    Then when launcher opens finally after 15-20 tries, I get error again "Failed to Log in". 

    Fix your game please. Thank you!!!

    I feel your pain! I'm experiencing big time latency and packet loss. It started after the emergency maintenance on Sept. 16.

    It's a crock of BS in the L2 Discord and is meaningless. Oh yea, Rowmen (the CM) seems excited and is focused on the Discord server. Who the hell cares about the Discord server ffs!! We are tired of empty words!! How many times have we heard that "NCscamerica" is re-structuring and will be implementing improvements!!

    My hope in anything changing in L2 is fading FAST! It's been a LONG 18 years. I'm amazed I've lasted this long.

    And we still have no answer as to losing the Destiny Pack and Prestige!!!! WTF is going on???
