SURVEY: How many players from 2004/2005 still "kicking and playing"?

[Keoz]

Started on C1 in an argentinian private x1 server (Gravedad Zero, great community with live meetings) around 2004 (the time where one would travel from TI to Gludin by boat or swimming + soe) until around C4-Interlude, from there on jumping on and off between servers until I arrived here on 2011 during the F2P Era. Dark Avenger since I red the class descriptions, eventually Treasure Hunter (did you know the name of the class is switched with Bounty Hunter, the dwarf class, but then in fixed in the 3rd class?) or Necromancer

1. Where you're from : Perú

2. Char name and class: Keoz, Hell Knight / Adventurer  

3. Original server : Bartz 2011, then Freya on merge and transfered to Chronos last September as XKeoz

4. Level and % today : 103 - 86% / 101 - 8%

5. How many times did you quit and come back : Lot of times on months or year long pauses, but more stable since 2015 or 2016

[Pleistoros]

1. Romania

2.Pleistoros/ISS Hiero

3.I start play round 2006, but only for a short period, on a private server(Kamael Chronicle) and i come on official Shilen when was up with GOD.

4.main 101 40% dual 102 2%

5. you should refine "quit" word talking about my self only round 6 months i didnt open the L2 ...allthru I find more interesting Aden architecture then TV programs. Its also true i have many chars 85-99 and some 100-101. And finaly...there were only few days when i didnt log ....just for 5-10 min to check things up.

 

 

[Jackl]

1. West Coast Murica.

2. Yul Sagitarrius/ISS

3. Sieghardt then Erica due to ridiculous Shot lag in the first year.

4. 96/101.10 Total buffbot now that I work too much to play.

5. 4 I think? BDO and archeage got close. But every MMO just keeps watering down player interaction. Even now I'm little more than Siege/Raid support.

[Argus]

Heya Mate, 

1. Bulgaria

2. Argus originally Adventurer // after GOD switched main to YUL Sagittarius 

3. Started at Bartz with other chars, SWS, TH, SK, went later with the TH only - Luna server till the Merge! 

4. Yul 101, dual Othell 99lvl 80% - Soon will lvl up and gear

5. 2012 when I saw GOD, played for 10-12 days and quit, quit for 6 years now again play a bit 

Early years of L2 were the best, those low lvl pvp's, grind, low level sieges game was perfect, the Golden Era of L2 

Cheers guys, have a good one !!!

[Lindethiel]

1. Where you're from: Singapore

3. Original server: Lionna -> Bartz -> Freya (Current)

4. Level and % today: 101

5. How many times did you quit and come back?: At least 5 times or more, left to play Aion, came back after guild died, left to play blade and soul, came back after guild died, left to play tera online, came back after got bored at end game, left to play black desert online, came back after got bored with enchanting system and grinding, in between left a while because tired of the pay to win system in lineage 2. Now I have no idea why I'm still playing this game. Lore is beautiful, only bad thing is pay to win is too expensive. $50 a month should be a decent amount to play a game.

Started on Devianne back when shots weren't automated and you damn near got arthritis clicking them; back when making it just to level 10 took a few days; back when agro Trees scared the sh** out of everybody;  back when players would regularly get PK'ed coming out of the serpentine tunnel from DE Village; back when you dropped items on death, especially that Cedar Staff that took you forever to save up enough adena to buy; back when you actually had to decide if you were going to spend money on shots or go without, because you couldn't afford to hunt with them all of the time and still afford other equipment; back when no one could afford to use teleports, so you ran everywhere; and if you did teleport to Gludio, your computer would likely lock up for several minutes because the lag was that bad; back when everyone's new best friend was either a dwarf crafter or a buffer/healer.

How many players from 2004/2005 still "actively playing" everyday?  I'm curious since I'm one of them, still kicking daily and not dead yet.   I'm from SoCal (southern California) and my oldest original character is Kannouteki light elf female archer from Seighardt.  Since GoD, I expanded to 7 full characters, multi-boxer.  Today as of 03/27/18 she's Lv.104 @ 42.97%.  I quit 7 times in 14 years, never let game affect my career.  That's important!!  

If you are still playing today, introduce yourself:

1. Where you're from: U.S.

2. Char name and class: Current: LNefertititL, Evis Original: Nefyrion, StormScreamer/Doomcryer main changed to DC when option was avail played that till FTP.

3. Original server: Bartz

4. Level and % today: 104 <20%

5. How many times did you quit and come back? 1 time when FTP started just came back 1yr ago.

How many of us are left?  Less than 20, more?  Way off, close?
