Make Classic...well Classic

[oink]

So I started back up in October 2018 when Classic first hit after taking a long break from Lineage 2(back in the Bartz days 2004). I actually really loved Classic. They then started the p2w system which turned me off quite a bit. I took a 2 year break and returned due to Aden. I don't get Aden and honestly its not for me. So I came back to Classic to find that it is getting very similar to Aden which I think is bad. 

Now that you have Aden, why not return Classic to what it was meant for...classic Lineage 2 from the old days.

What I like:

• Kudos on the antibot system (I'm assuming it is working)
• Kudos on allowing us to auto-hunt. It is a nice break and the way it is set up, you still need to be at your computer for the most part, although it could use some more options

What I would like to keep playing:

• Bring back the usefulness of dwarves 
• Bring back making our own soulshot for each grade.
• Bring back the old towns and hunting fields.
• Bring back the penalties for using weapons/armor above your grade. 
• Bring back the fun events where regular players could actually benefit 
• Make everything tradeable, sellable, etc (except maybe for store bought items)
• Bring back having to progress with normal rates. Going from level 1 to 40 in one day is well...pointless.

I can imagine that many people left when you made those changes. Dwarves are the heart and soul of Lineage 2. Why downgrade them to almost nothing? Why prevent regular players from getting great items in which they can keep or sell? 

There is way too much control. Bring back the old days. Everyone talks about how great those days (minus bots) were, myself included.

There is such a focus on getting to end game that the whole point of this game is lost. Progressing slowly and experiencing each of the lower levels was a blast. Some people even chose to stay at lower levels because it was fun. Getting to end game quickly just ruins the whole purpose of what this game was. I spent days upon days at Talking Island just pvping and having fun with everyone. 

It truly is the journey that is fun, not the destination.

You got Aden now so let us have a real Classic Lineage 2 game. I bet many players would return.

I agree with everything you said.

Real classic for real players.

[Firhial]

I agree with everything
Summary the return of the 7 signs and the catacombs / necropolis
I'm from the old school, and I highlight your words:
"it truly is the journey that is fun, not the destination."
And, indeed, the low levels were the most beautiful and fun
How good would it be to return to that game!

Guys, this is good read all these improvements, but nobody read this probably  

I dont understand why NCSOFT not increase map... Locations are there so its simply from my point of view..

Not to mention that some areas have been shrunk:
Execution ground
Enchanted Valley

Agreed, this is a remarkable game, and I've loved it from the start. I find it difficult to play now, as my dwarves are practically useless, (sad), I absolutely hate that you can't sell mats back to the stores, why would NCSoft do that, except to make money selling NC Coins. Please, please put the game back to how it was in the beginning...Thanks.

Would be good to get old L2 back as Classic. Developers should be honest and if gonna keep current way of L2C evolution they should rename it cuz it's not Classic anymore it's something very different.
