Comments on: Guinea Pig http://www.killtenrats.com/2006/03/02/guinea-pig/ a group of adventurers on an epic quest Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:55:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Ian http://www.killtenrats.com/2006/03/02/guinea-pig/comment-page-1/#comment-3452 Ian Mon, 13 Mar 2006 20:07:41 +0000 http://www.killtenrats.com/?p=623#comment-3452 I actually played L2 to level 51 as a .... what was it, ranger? Hunter? I forget. The class everyone played because it was "the class to play". I probably only lasted even that long because I was in a fairly large guild of people I knew from the EQ PvP server I was playing on when L2 came out. We actually got to fight for a couple of castles but never got control of any of them because there were some huge guilds that we couldn't beat for them. Once they got hold of them there was no way we were getting them since they could log on at any time more than we could log on for an organized raid. The PvP was kind of fun, but there were a lot of koreans who played and exploited bugs to steal your loot if you dropped it. They also farmed like crazy with de-leveled characters (not sure if you can do that anymore) who were levelled up to 50, then de-levelled to 2 or 3, but with full level 50 power. They'd farm all the low level dungeons non-stop with bots so if you wanted to start a new character after the game originally came out you had to compete with them, which was useless, or go to the less popular and more dangerous places. The graphics were nice and all, but the game itself was just a waste of time unless you were in one of the huge guilds who could take control of a castle. Then you could just rake in money from local sales tax, but I'd imagine even that gets boring after a while. I actually played L2 to level 51 as a …. what was it, ranger? Hunter? I forget.

And the starter places were almost empty of players already about one and a half year ago. Don’t complain about Darkelven girls, they have two big advantages :)
