no it is not alive and not decently populated, it is an autoplay garbage where you have to be stupid to believe any "player" activity they measure because if it were bots used by the game publisher you wouldnt tell if there is any difference!

further more EVEN if asterios has real unique 15k players, they would predominantly just like you choose to stay there and play on asterios instead of moving to a game with new aspects thus higher complexity. their degraded brains would say "ah no this is not l2 i know, i dont wana learn new game" and quit

well man if u dont want to move on to new things why would anyone in this world bother to change your mind and accomodate to your comformism? YOU ARE in your comfort zone and there is NO NEED for a new l2 game cuz u are still chewing on the old one. what you say makes no sense at all. you are playing a spinoff l2 mobile game and u call yourself an active l2 player? lul man cmon
none of us is active maybe except spoilez, cuz we got other shit to do

Why exactly should it be different to for example New World, which started with 900k+ players and now has lower peaks than L2 Asterios (Steam Charts)?

1)l2 player base consists of toxic botting tryharders and a bunch of casuals who didnt learn how to play the game for almost 20 years of its existence and are still nab just like they were before
2)new world didnt start off as a high fantasy mmorpg but a survival and gathering game with rpg elements.
only later due to the vacuum in the genre they added some more rpg shit and slapped MMORPG on it. finally the game turned out to be not only buggy but also NOT mmorpg whereas the whole game was gather craft and thats it until u reach sieges and bug your char so it doesnt die

so your comparison is apples to oranged, besides being fruit they dont have much in common

your question is answered in the Q&A from their korean blog.
any grown person knows that in 99,99% of cases whatever u think you r innovating has already been done by someone else. ncosft dont have to bring anything new to the table because it has all been implemented in some other rpg game. so they only need to mix and match it
every game will have this and that feature but skip 2-3 features that other games have. so each game decides whats its own focus on tries to steal as many good practices and ideas from other games

jeesh dude... why do i have to even expl this kinda obv stuff?

it is obviously a different game because the old tap-targeting style is no more interesting and games have developed further and offer new interesting things to do, even if u chose to stay on the same well known turf

last thing i heard about lineage2 is they launched lineage2Aden designed for solo autoplay where u buy like on any l2j trash server 200% exp boost packs and etc garbage so the last bit of nostalgic players following the IP left in disappointment too

stop trying to milk a dead cow

That's pretty interesting. I mentioned the Kite Shield in the trailer but I thought it was just a coincidental similarity. That Dama sure does not lie :mrgreen:

The fact that despite nearly everything Lineage related turned into a total cash grab and NCsoft still keeps releasing Lineage related games only shows power of the brand

Well as there aren't any statistics available so there isn't any faking them, as far as bots go, I have trouble figuring out exactly where they would use these bots, there aren't really any zones where people would gather on a regular basis to make it look 'crowded' and creating literal bot clans to participate in sieges/fortresses (where I get my impressions of servers being fairly well populated) seem to me like pretty major stretch. Not saying it's impossible, but people would definitely notice eventually.

Well I never disputed that the games (especially Korean ones) are made for money, but where there're people, there's money, and people are much more likely to spend money on games they associate with childhood memories than some generic 'yet another MMORPG'. As for the high paying customerss, well who exactly would you aim at if not people who are economically active? Data shows that highest spending playerbase are men between 34 and 44, which incidentally is exactly the group that old Lineage/Lineage 2 players are growing into (source) (besides, who else should be spending money on MMOs other than a dude who ruined his life with some side hoe, trying to escape reality :mrgreen:)

As for the Asterios, idk, again I'm not saying it's impossible that they pump up the numbers a bit, but I've played a fair bunch of servers to get a grip of approximately how many servers are playing there, and Asterios x7 is one of the most - if not the most - populated server I've ever played. Again, not claiming that all of them will drop everything and move on to L3 once it gets released, but sure as death and taxes you absolutely WILL get more of them if you play the nostalgia card

Well I don't quite remember calling myself some active player, my point was that there is a major sleeper community willing to try another 'Lineage' if given opportunity to. The L2 Revolution itself is a solid proof that people like me are going to put with almost anything as long as it's called Lineage. The game would abso-freaking-lutely die by now if it wasn't called Lineage.

I don't exactly find "let's create a generic MMO #9782 instead of sticking to a brand associated with one of the most popular MMOs ever just for the sake of being fresh, because it will totally work this time" argument convincing to be level with you.

Okay, just insert basically any MMORPG released in past 10 years instead, you will get the same point. I'm pretty sure if you search for most popular mmorpgs you will mostly get games like wow, final fantasy, probably even runescape AKA old names, not the hip and fresh new name MMORPG that totally changed the game forever by adding absolutely revolutionary features like climbing over rocks or gathering flowers.

Case in point. If you want to sell some product, and there were thousands of other people trying to sell the same one before you and 99% of them failed, you shouldn't just throw it out and hope for the best, you should ask yourself what can you do differently to succeed. I mean NCsoft has been doing this for ages, as I mentioned above, most of the games they released would have exactly zero chance of success if they didn't attract players like me. It's all about the brand.

There were already like several dozens of Lineage 2 expansions, it's obvious none of them will gather much excitement at this point. Lineage 3 however is something that L2 players talked and dreamed about for more than a decade now. I mean look at this TL thing, main reason what stirs an attention is people thinking it's Lineage 3, what else needs to be said :mrgreen:

It's a shame that they dropped the Lineage IP from it, but that makes perfect sense if they are trying to capture the western audience. Lineage IP has absolutely terrible reputation here in the West, so changing the name and IP around will fool a lot of people. Especially the ones that haven't had any interaction with NCsoft before.

Also based on the Q&A stuff it seems like they are focusing on the elements of the gameplay that make the most money, which are PVE and story. So I wouldn't expect it to be a very PvP heavy game. That's why the IP change is smart, if it was a Lineage game people would expect it to be PvP heavy game, but now you can pretty much do anything.

How do you mean for fans of L2? Are they making some connections to L2 world there? That would be kinda cool tbh. I'm kinda lazy to read, let me know when you go through it plx.

Eh Im not much into story anyway, I just want to pew pew L2 mobs using L2 weapons playing my L2 chars, just in a new game :mrgreen: btw. in that vid you posted previously, I think the guy missed one sword from the trailer:

Or is it my mind seeing this it wants to see? I also could've sworn I've seen that 2H sword before... Maybe it was some monster sword in L2? Any ideas?

they are going to recycle alot of models of wps/armors from l2 so indeed you will be able to equip gear that is going to be l2 replica with better textures, for example i like how the "remastered" BOP looks

Fr fr... Both BOP and Dama they've shown on their instagram looked gorgeous. Though they could've at least had the decency to call the weps by their real name, not some "Shadow Hunter's Bow" or whatever :? Still, they better keep em coming and I might give this game a shot after all :P btw. there are some rumours of Amazon publishing TL in the west:

Obviously they're not going to call them with "real" names, as it's not Lineage game anymore. They remade this game like 4 times now, so just using the old assets.

I believe that they couldn't just take the old weapon textures and port it to an entirely new engine, so they purposely made them from scratch to look exactly like they were in Lineage 2. If they wanted to distance themselves from L2 for whatever reason, they a) would've just made a random new generic weapons, I mean I google "fantasy bow" and I get 7 billion results and b) they wouldn't have showcased these obvious and notoriously known Lineage 2 weapons like Dama and BOP on their social sites.

So basically, L2 players know it's BOP anyway and players who never played L2 before don't care if the bow is called "Bow of Peril" or "Shadow Hunter's Bow", so I don't see any harm in it, just a nice tribute :P

man i cant explain why but everytime i see and hear this guy i wanna vomit and then call thanos to delete the living beings in the universe - everything in this guy irks me

about the weapons names, u cant be srs man, its a different IP and there is nothing bad in renaming the items... im glad they are still using the models because l2 had some of the best looking items in mmos not too posh and not too minimalistic, just the right amount of "fantasy genre" in them

im most definitely gona pay the subscription for it :) i wanna grapple hook on the siege golem and then grapple hook on the castle walls to infiltrate while someone from our side causes solar eclipse to lower enemy archer accuracy and give us chance to get on the walls (yes this is an officially announced game mechanic :D )
