There are no niceties in-game, everything is barebone. You cannot do several simple things other RPGs let you as well as the chat interface is near worthless and unmanagable. Community forum moderators will ban you at will, GMs can decide if your support request is worthy without ever speaking to you live and dismiss you just as easily. It ends up making you not want to do the entire point of the game, which is to fight. The system allows you to drop up to 5 VITAL items (weapons,armor,etc) if you kill another player outright. You stand to lose great quantities of XP, or items, both requiring you to XP for hours/days/months to recover, from a single event. CAN YOU IMAGINE A-GRADE? SS-GRADE? 500 MILLION?. Top C-grade 12-15 million, B-grade 30-50 million. The cost of a top D-grade is 1.5 million or so. IN JUST 30-50 WEEKS, YOU CAN HAVE IT!(grades: NoGrade, D-Grade, C-Grade, B-Grade, A-Grade, SS-Grade). It takes about 1 week to earn 1 million adena at 50+ level. (example: A decent B-grade sword, which is considered middle class in the 'grade' system of lineage, costs upwards of 30-50 million adena. Being the cost of items is extreme, losing a vital item (weapon/armor/jewelry/etc) renders your game and possibly MONTHS/YEARS of work, over. Items can be dropped in a fight and almost always are when a monster kills you during normal XPing. You almost always outgrow the weapon you spend months getting before you need it as well. It will take you months to aquire a good weapon (YES - MONTHS. The cost of items in-game is rediculosly disproportioned to what you can afford in any sane amount of time. All losses to server glitches/bogs are just that, losses. No help for you, you lost it and that's that, no matter the expense of what you lost. If something happens to your account in a server crash (lost item, etc), you're screwed.
It is not fun to XP after a while, it is dramatic and tedious.
XP is the most difficult to obtain of all MMOs and consumes 90% of your in-game time. Your account can be hacked and GMs will not return anything stolen. You can be scammed easily out of money/items, GMs do not help you get items back, ever, period. GM's do not help with anything aside being 'stuck' in the map. Simple off-the-top-of-mah-disgruntled-brain reasons why Lineage 2 shouldn't be considered, in no order: Support has ticked me off to all high extremes after playing for MONTHS, so I needed to do this. I suggest those of you considering a new MMO to forget Lineage 2. Though this is strange to post, methinks it's just as important in recommending what game to play as it is to suggest why NOT to play a game.
