There are thousands of players that are bored senseless with the games out right now and will play whatever comes out first and is good. This is a huge pool of players that TCoS would be stupid to not tap, and the fact that WAR will not be able to tap this group of players before the fall means that alot more will try TCoS.

I posted in a new thread, but maybe I should've just added here. It seems like WAR has been pushed back to Q3. So maybe TCoS will have abit less competition if it releases on time.

the fact that WAR got pushed back to Q3 might help it alot. There will be alot of people that wont be addicted to WAR that are looking to play something.

But that thread shows that I'm right..... If you heard peoples's responses, people are pissed cause they see bots. Then all the people that actually know a thing or two about bots (ie turds with bot trains) go on to say "yes. Nc bans bots".  People see them so the perception is that nothing is ever done.  I find the bot population runs in cycles. It builds up to the point that everyone gets pissed again and start reporting it... then it goes done as NCsoft catches up.  Just please report the ones you see.

It is solo-friendly.. just need to find the proper class to play. The best plan is to 2 box, as there are a few very good duo classes (ie shillen elder and any nuker class, or prophet and all strong DDs).

I am addicted to this game. I keep coming back and I seriously can't pin down why I play ^^. I even play a gimp class and I still like it. Play Bartz ^^ we are a very active server. If you really want to start the game, familiarize yourself with l2blah.com. Its the forums that most hardcore players use.

(if you join bartz and need advice, wisper "powerless")

that's not the point the point is its not worth playing since ncsoft refuses to do something about the botting problem

a. you can report someone who bots for over 4 months and he wont give banned

b. when they ban someone off a train they ban 1 or 2 people out off a 9 man train who are all on walker

that poll is about franz and im pretty sure 90% is accurate since they's so many clans on Franz who allows botters, but even the ones who dosen't has to kick a lot off people for botting...

if you start up in this game, you notice bots every where, but people just trow excues at you and tell you to contiune, like they only there cause off a free trial, or other games has bots to but they all hide in instances ...

i played this game 1 week after C1 went live and i diden really notice that ncsoft diden care or stopped caring about bots before in C4-C5 but already at launch there was bots, and know its just gotten worse and it contiune that way

A. giant lie. I've gotten tons of bots banned. AND I've also played WoW for years and reported bots there... It takes them at least 2 wks to take action against the ones I reported (then I got bored and stopped wispering/checking the bot and petitioning). Christ don't you remember all the gambling bots people had in WoW? It took like 6 months for Blizzard to decide they should be banned.

B. Also a lie. The people that get banned are the ones that get reported. If you report one.. hes the only one that gets banned. If you read L2blah, you will see that every so often there are mass bans and American botters are all pissed because their entire trains get banned.  I can imagine the amount of chinese bots banned is like 100X that but they dont really post on L2blah ^^.

The official forums SUCK. They are very poorly moderated. Anything that is slightly negative gets locked. Thats why people use outside sites for their forums. The reason the main ones are dead is because noone uses them... not because noone plays.

I still like this game. I played WoW for like 3 years and then I came back to l2. The weird thing is, I can't explain why. Its just a good game....

Yea I remember the first few days of confusion ^^. If you are on Bartz and have stupid questions feel free to ask me. Local chat is just typing (white text), yelling is chat limited to the surrounding zone (orange text) and you type !message  , to whisper someone type "name message  , ummm party chat is #message, guild chat is @message, alliance is $message, trade is +message ..... I think thats all the chats.

PS my ingame name is Powerless if you need help.
