Is it the Chronicle 4 updates?

If I'm not mistaken, if it's new updates, the server is probably overloaded with people downloading it... what I would usually do (or used to do) is wait a day or two before downloading.

skincladalien,
Malaysia servers still in Chronicle 1? There are NO Malaysian Servers for Lineage 2. There are only 2 official places which you can play Lineage 2, which is the US and Korean servers.

Anyway, I hear C4 has expanded the map by 1/3, making it really huge. OMG... running from one end to the other would take 2 hours + now I guess.

Oh yea... I think you can get the download for Chronicle 4 from FilePlanet. Check out www.lineage2.com

Using Screwmyx in Sarawak? No wonder...

last year, 512Mb dsl I'd get about 200-300ms. If I recall, there were some tools that help you check your ping to the L2 servers. Anyway, there are a few servers. Those days, the best were Bartz (first server), Lionna (I think.. cant remember the 2nd server, )Kain and so forth.

3 weeks??! OMG... took me 2-3 days to download it.

I doubt there's a Malaysian guild in L2. I doubt a Malaysian guild would last in L2.

re-downloaded and re-installed and re-patched but busy with DDO...
For those looking for game time cards, I believe pcgame.com.my has them.

oh
tak boleh order ka?

poor fellas who rely on game cards.. time to get a credit card perhaps?

Honestly speaking, not many are cut out for Lineage2's tough gameplay. If possible, please keep your private servers talk from this board.

Thanks.

That said, the quest in L2 really has that 'quest' feel compared to most mmorpgs where a 'quest' is done/completed in 10 minutes. After all, 'quests' are often related to some sort of embarking on a journey in search of something or to achieve something. hehe

DDO doesn't really have a grind.

I do agree that WoW's questing and rewards are much better than L2. L2's quest can be really tough & exhausting and their rewards are really 'dependant on luck'. I can remember running a quest which requires me to run from one end of the map to the other (almost running all around) to come to the end where the end boss (some death knight I think) had to be killed. This Death Knight is quite hard to kill and therefore, one has to get their clannies to help so no problem. To make things worse, you have to get in the final killing blow in order for the quest item to drop. geezz... that drop is also based on %. If the server calculates one kind then too bad for you as you'll get the lower end reward like some potion.

Crafting higher level equipments are also a pain in the arse. You need the materials such as blade heads (for swords) which drop from certain mobs (also % dependant), tonnes of other material (which can skyrocket the price due to it being a player based economy) and the 'recipe' for it.

Anyone remember how tough it was to change/upgrade profession/class? The amount of running and monsters you had to kill just to be a Knight from a Fighter. Necro/Sorc from a Mage, etc. I recall dying so much that I actually delevelled when I was doing my level 20 profession change.

For those that played L2 and WoW. You'd know how much harder it is to acquire a Pet and to maintain and train it. That said, L2 really isn't for the general gamer. Those who can't cut it won't make it in L2. Therefore, there's a lot of complains about L2. It's not that it's not a good game. It's just a much tougher game than the likes of WoW.

oh.. I did my profession in Close Beta and Open Beta and retail. Those days, Kain server where I was at was pretty quiet. Not like right now, everywhere you'd find farmers.

kueks, still playing ah?

omg you're right man.. the level 35, 37 & 39 trials and tests... I had to kill those tough mobs that were higher level than me which were impossible without certain spells which I hadn't gotten yet without my guild, I wouldn't have completed it. the journey itself was much longer than the level 19 profession change.

Those are what we call Quest. not some run around and killing stuff for 5-15 minutes and it's done stuff you'd find in most mmorpgs these days. Talk about hard core.

I just found out today that...

Valakas was defeated in Lionna (NA) server!!

I guess there are benefits for grinding to level 75...

ToI = Tower of Insolence?

Wooo... I used to hang about there being low level 50s. The mobs are tough there. One time I joined a party to get to the top, they say the mobs right at the top (angels?) give good exp and are easier to kill... but as we reached (almost), we ran into enemy clans, a fight ensued, 85% of everyone died. especially with the mobs hitting on us as well.

I'm actually surprised to see that they are still Malaysians (and Singaporeans) playing L2. I would have thought they've gone and play WoW. Kudos to you guys.

I was a hot red head sorc.. low level 50+ only.. never really had the time to play when it went retail from open beta. was in Bartz then move to Kain in retail. Was thinking of trying out C4 but know that I wont have time.. and I'm gimped btw... still using mid-level C-grade weapon/equipment.

yea.. actually in every rpg game, the mages would usually rule over other classes... thats what i see from playing several mmorpgs.

yea.. it's a real b!tch to download the game... especially the new installer with Chronicle 4 expansion.

there are no MY servers for Lineage2.
Try playing on Bartz server. I think it has the best ping for malaysians.
