And those "exciting" parts of the game will likely be less than a 1% of the whole game. Korean mmorpgs are a lost case of endless grinding with tons of eye-candies. And it's not going to change because this is what appeals to the Korean players. L2 is a dead game outside Korea. With 2 ghost-town servers left, nothing is going to bring back L2 to the tiny shed of glory it ever had.

@kleinTOD

L2 is not dead , most ppl play on private servers ....20k + play on private servers

[Anrijs1990]

@ShadikX not 20k, there are lots of private servers with 3k online on 1 server. but this is... i don't know, this sin't L2 anymore at all.. :(

@Anrijs1990

By that I did not mean that a private server has 20k+ ppl online but if you count all the private server you get atleast 10k , hell one russian server [ RPG ] had 6k ppl online

@Vash12788

You just gave me a boner, didn't know it had changed over.

[Vash12788]

@Lolp821 Lol funny thing is the game did go free to play with this update.

[Vash12788]

@silviu2007 What you people aren't realizing is that what they are showing in this video is just one small story based quest. As soon as you are done with this is straight back to the old L2. I love what they are doing with this expansion, frankly it's what L2 has needed for very long time.

@silviu2007 are you stupid... they made it better... more fun.. less boring... it's still linage and if you don't like it than you are stupid

[squishless]

@Anrijs1990 ITS BETTER THAN EVER!

[Lolp821]

Oh no, they're adding things to the game, they're trying to bring it up to speed after all the years of Lineage 2, would you rather they made it free to play so all the idiots started playing? It looks fine to me, apart from the horses, horsies don't belong in Lineage but it reminds me of Epona from Ocarina of Time.

El L2 ya ha perdido su esencia, ahora es como cualquier MMO, solo hay gente pendiente de tener equipo S80+ y tal.

[crazysunta]
