I downloaded L2 this week (I'm going slowly mad waiting for ToR) and I must admit I wasn't impressed.
I DLd it, made a character, loaded into game. The first chat message was a gold-seller and when I clicked somewhere my character ran there. I immediately logged out and uninstalled ^_^
I'm not saying it has not merit, I heard great things about it back in the day, but my first impression was a bad one.

well, to be fair, that game is crap till you hit the max level (Kinda like wow in its vanilla days)
L2 is recovering from 6 years of bad design, since the game was the most absurd grind-fest you can posibly imagine.
Suffice to say that the quest for sub-classes and Nobility (quests that were MANDATORIAL) had so much grinding, they put the original AQ grind to shame.
It was common to do quest objectives where mobs had a 1/50 chance to drop the quest item, and you needed 700 of them :S
It has recovered considerably, but the damage was made.
The best selling points of Lineage II are the castle sieges, and its STRONG guild system (Far FAR more advanced than anything I've seen in any other MMO) as well as its awesome PVP, but its PVE has been crappy from the get-go.
Supossedly its been corrected (dunno, I'll have to try it) as of the latest patch.
but yes, judging the game from its early (and VASTLY outdated) content isn't exactly fair.

I'm now filled with an overwhelming yearning to give Takei a big high-five if I ever saw him.
The way he says "that's so takei" sounds so awesome =)

Satellite internet has 2 second latency, at least. Do you want your healer to push heal 4 seconds late? Would you like your tank to taunt 4 seconds late? In EQ2 (my preferred MMO), the next spells aren't even castable until those previous ones have been reconciled, which means that it takes like 6 seconds between spell casts. Imagine that every instant cast spell was all of a sudden 6 second cast time. Imagine a 6 second cast time spell was 12 seconds. The person standing in the fire is doing it because they aren't seeing the fire move at the same rate. etc etc etc... MMOs are playable, but they turn into a headache more than they are fun.

wow, and I thought MY internet was bad......
I got a sucky speed, but when I'm playing my latency isn't THAT horrible, there's like a .05 sec delay between what's happening and what I'm seeing. Often standing in the fire for 0.5 seconds isn't so deadly.

3 options for internet:
1) Dial up
2) Satalitte
3) Nothing

well, my internet speed when actually playing is fast enough, a slight barely-noticeable delay isn't much of a problem.
My download speed is an epic fail though, here I am downloading cataclysm (for the fourth time this year alone) and it will take a good 3-4 days to get it done. Download speed never gets past 90 Kb per sec

Nothing you swallow will go to your lungs unless you're messing up swallowing.
But yes, it's bad, since phlegm is your body trying to get rid of bacteria, and you're just reintroducing them into your system. Blowing your nose or using a saline rinse is your best idea.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Circumventing the language filter is against the .

I've always wondered about that. Shouldn't one's stomach acid be enough to a lot of the crap?

Holy @#$% those internet speeds, this makes me a tad bit more thankful that I have 200 mbit/s and a download speed at 1-5 mb/s. Though this is really good even for Sweden.
