Hello everyone, Can someone please explain the game format? it's been 2 weeks now since i started playing L2, and all I'm doing is set pt's for 7-8 hours at some farm zone, another set for this "once a day" Coal Mine or whatever, and so goes on the routine. L2 has never been so stacked with "live" ppl tbh, exept that all these "live" ppl are AFK day and night. so what's the point? if this game has become just another sort of a facebook game, auto farm, press a button here, press a button there, and the story isn't even that interesting. WHAT IS THE POINT??? i'm sure there's more to it, and i'm the only one missing all the fun here. so please, can someone enlighten me, would u be so kind to tell me why is this game still so popular, if we are actually not even really playing it anymore and let the auto macro take over? thanks in advance, appreciate all answers
