Lineage 2 Veteran Pub
If you have ever played L2 you know how great Ashes can and will be. Alot of what the dev team has talked about has been influenced by Lineage 2, for example the flagging and corruption system is L2. Lineage 2 was Steven's favorite mmo and the dev team has alot of L2 play time.
I invite all L2 vets to join me in the Ashes L2 Pub! Let's talk about our L2 history, comparisons to Ashes, and all other info that will help fill the hole L2 left in our hearts that Ashes will be filling!

I just wish the developers knew how well lineage 2's system worked and they can actually improve on it if anything
PS: You can guess what my fav race in L2 is haha (hint, look at my profile picture)
I jumped back and forth between Human Dagger and Human Tank (2nd human dagger was permared). Because of the lack of tanks when the awakening classes released, I stayed tank as main. it was extremely rewarding due to how many parties always needed a tank (I never looked for more than 5 minutes) and I soon realized that a tank can hold his own in 1v1 PvP against almost any class.... except healers... I hated fighting healers, they whooped me bad

@Karthos that would be awesome! And any other cool shots you might have would be so much appreciated... Same for anyone else, if you have some, please do share, I'm ready for a nostalgic trip down L2 memory lane :')
Mithias (prophet/bd) was my main
As for the flag system I'm super pumped. I think if they add the debuff to RED characters that decreases performance the more corruption they have it will fix the main issue L2 had. The perma REDs that would not care they were red and super over powered were annoying. Now if they got a new stack of this "debuff" that made them eventually hit like a feather than this would incentivise them to work it off.
Definitely good thinking to the long term future their, "Perma Red" in the early days wasn't a huge issue because everyone was grinding so much on a primary character or two, as time goes on though and levelling becomes easier a swappable red guy wasn't a big deal/hard. At least an incentive to work it off would help balance both sides ability to grief or be griefed.
Edit: Oh and I played on Bartz as a spellhowler named Vaan21 since like right at the release of Chronicle 2. Can I get an amen for Cruma!?
Also a SS from when I found a bot that didnt know how to pick up after themselves.
@mithias Another Kain player from the old days!!!! No Chance you knew any characters Xildjian, DPS or Spraxx?
@RhinoFireweaver I hope they keep it slow like the early days of L2. I liked the hard grind, much more rewarding than what it has become. But, Maybe this list of servers will jog your memory to whichever you belonged to?
Bartz | Sayha | Aria | Pheonix | Kain | Lionna | Erica | Gustin | Devianne | Hindemith | Teon | Franz | Magmeld | Luna | Shilen
Started on Phoenix, merger into Chronos and later on transfered to Naia with my party. Eventually stoped playing when more of my friends left and the game sadly turned into heavy pay2win. Left it for ArcheAge ... which turned out the same way even faster x)
Anyway, Phoenix Knight is my love, and the only class i played till GoD ... after that Sigel Knight wasnt the same as before anymore
Also if you have any Lineage 2 friends please direct them to our L2 Pub, and spread the good word of the soon to be powerhouse ENMITY!
