Lineage 2

I play L2 Essence simply because I'm tired of other MMO-type projects. I like it. No commitments, no 6-hour raids.

Of course, the visuals are old. But for me, that's a plus. My eyes don't get tired. It reminds me of the times when games were made with soul. Sometimes it lags, especially in cities. But you can live with it.

For me, a top game and an indicator of what an MMO-RPG should be, but before the GOD chronicles, i.e. the last normal chronicles were High Five, and everything that came out after has nothing to do with L2. Its second drawback is that it is not a very good balance, both between classes in PVP, but also in PVE. The bows there suffer terribly in the latest chronicles, but bows, in principle, are all solotarget characters. The third drawback is poor optimization, although powerful PCs can handle it normally. That’s why I give my favorite game with a huge seamless world, a huge number of quests, the best PVP/MPVP systems in my opinion, and top social communication systems only 9.5 points.

it's funny that the line is still so alive in 2025 lol. In 2025 - that is, more than 20 years after the game came out.

I know that many may have questions, like why play a 20-year-old game. but the thing is that it is not just some few people playing it, the online is such that after the release of the Wolf server, Wolf 2 had to be opened to accommodate everyone.

it just has good classic mmorpg mechanics, which are also tweaked with modern things like auto-combat. plus the economy is such that you can earn everything you need on quests and regular pumping of the classic.

The main version involves pouring a ton of money into the game. Moreover, what you poured becomes obsolete in a year or two and you need to pour a ton of dough into the charm. It’s not realistic to dress yourself in a game, even at the middle level, that is, you can’t survive without donation. There are also additional bonuses in the game, for example, if you were scammed into a scam or if someone used the software to buy your item from an auction or from world trade - this is a game moment and nothing will be returned to you. Donation promotions are churned out the same simply by CD, the drop from loot boxes remains virtually unchanged for years. Cool game!!!!!!
