My final advice is, in order to fully enjoy this game, I recommend you join a good clan, not only will you have company to level up with, you may be able to partake in castle sieges. Lineage 2 is an addictive, unrestrictive, and fun, but yet brutal. This is a game that focuses more on the hardcore audience than the casual player. Not that a casual player would not enjoy this game, just not as much as the hardcore people. Oh and don’t bother bitching and moaning to GMs when you get griefed in one of the many ways the game allows, it has been stated by the developers that they “promote and encourage a little bit of chaotic behavior here and there.”, this game is NOT for carebears!
