Lineage 2 - Free to Play vs Private Server

Okay..

I'm installing Lineage 2 now, after reading that it's all free to play now.

I do have a question for the community -

Do you prefer the free to play servers, or the private ones?

Private ones by far with Linage II. I could never stand playing of official servers. Mainly because when I did play on official I always got griefed by gold farmers and bots. I would say almost half of the people on the servers I played were that. I could never find a group to party with and it wasn't any fun. Not to mention the grind on official is so horrible. It takes forever to level up and it's just not fun...

Private servers (if you can find a good one) have been a much better experience. Most servers have their own special unique features that make them interesting and they typically have a much better user base. Not to mention the horrible grind is mitigated. Even on the super high exp servers, it still takes a month of playing just to get to max level. Anything after level 65 is just painfully slow and exp requirements exponentially increase. The last level will probably take you 10-15 hours to grind on out at 5000 experience!

I try to play a private server once a year, make a character and max it out. Then move on to a new game for another year. I always find that fun.

Okay.... Thanks.

tbh, current f2p L2 has quite easy leveling, quest rewards got buffed, you'd reach 20's in less than couple hours. also, player market is active, buying SS/BSS for cheap prices is possible, same with gear and materials. gold drop is low as expected from official, but quests give you hundreds of thousands of gold, i dont know about endgame quests but i can imagine them giving millions. i'd say its quite Playable atm.
