Is this game still worth playing?

After all these years of playing, L2 is more of a hobby now.

I login, talk to my clan, in the chat. (or Discord or Viber...) I XP a little, I try different classes (the Dark Knight is pretty good :)

NCsoft's "Project TL" is rumored to come out soon. I am kind of hyped for that one!

Anyway, for me it's relaxing. So, yes I would say that YES, it's still worth playing!

 

that sounds like a time killer, not a hobby, relaxing?  definitely not "playing" L2

i will never play another ncsoft game after what they did to this 1

You are exactly right: This is NOT playing. For playing I use an XBOX 💕 (and my PC sometimes)

Hobby = "an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure."

PS

But I must admit, that there is something strangely satisfying in watching my char killing the same mobs over and over again! 😄

isnt worth invest time in the game anymore, this game was fun for 2 things, pve and pvp

pve= u need lot of gear to do a proper pve, even for those places and instances that are in ur lvl; and.. is automated, all ppl AFK

pvp= dont even try... u going to cry when one  toon with stage 3 dragon weapon destroy 20 peeps with 1 aoe or a single attack, even if u have a decent gear.. u will be 1 shoot for sure.

L2 become a lottery and a bussiness for black market sellers, there are plenty of free games with more fun than L2 NA (lost ark)

I think the first few responses that you received from this post are correct only if you choose to focus on the "Supers" of this game. These are peeps that have spent thousands and from there made this game their own private super market. If you choose to try to keep up with the "Jonese" you better have very big pockets.

From that, let me say that this game is still one of the best games that could be. Meaning, if the owners and GM's gave a damn this game, for its age, has all the potential and more of the newer games that are currently coming out. But it seems they keep making changes for the worse and they have no plans to fix it. Spoilers that have nothing to spoil, Erthias that can't make "love potions" because the items no-longer exist. Areas that have no meaning because you lvl pass them in less than 2 hours. Shops that have a few basic mates that you need and other than that are useless. Basically, the wrong company owns this game and should sell it to someone that gives a damn. They don't. 

World of Warcraft came out around the same time as L2 and the differences is incredible.  They should have sold this game to Blizzard 10yrs ago. All that being said you can still find enjoyment in this game without opening up your pockets...to much. The game gives you enough gear and items to get to a lvl where you can join a clan, make friends, and have fun. Occasionally you might have to put a little cash into it to get a little of this and a little of that. But its only if you choose to go that route. It's a highly afk game with active time spent doing Instances with friends, zones solo or with friends, and AFK setup that is not supposed to happen, but everybody does it. Because all of the basic items are free i'd say try it for a week or 2, make sure you make 2 or 3 characters for buffs and heals, and go from there. DD of choice these days would be a DeathKnight. You might find that it can be fun. Or not. 

WoW was perhaps 1 year ago almost in the same stage as this game when was under Blizzard, mostly because they were just not listening to their players. What did we do ? Just quit the game ... result ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ghnZ-7LJQc  check how many times they are speaking about listening to their players suggestions .

If you want to have fun in this game get your wallet ready to spend endless amount of dollars for XP and vitality maintain pots to level up, then more endless money to get items. Nothing can be farmed in the game anymore like it used to be (for example to get gear from raids), in order to get items you must pay rl money to l2 store (which is basically a casino, you play with chances) or buy adena like most players do and then buy the item(s) you want from other players.

Then like Mete said above, you just leave your char afk 24/7 to auto farm.

If you wanna login in the game for free go for it, till 105-106 lvl to see how the game has changed over the years, otherwise, if you are not willing to spend real money and leave your char afk xp, don't bother logging in at all :D and yes, Chronos is the best server compared to Naia. 

this is what net neutrality did, it gave them the rights to micro manage these games to basically cost us for basic in game items and needs, before they couldnt micro manage them down this bad,people need to research before they vote.

PLEASE, tell us all,  which part of Net Neutrality gave NC Soft the right to "micro manage" where as before they didnt have that ability. 

And please, copy and paste the section from the law that you're talking about, or please provide the page number and section. Because I have read that from beginning to end repeatedly and I just can't seem to find any reference of any company gaining new rights to a game they already owned, that they previously didn't have.

Not worth start playing I would say this way ,

But if you played recently with a year or two break ...you know it was bad.. now its even worse since juji gone so its up to you to keep nostalgia and keep complaining or look for a decent game :)
