While I can understand that old school MMOers enjoy the game's familiar feel, other recent MMOs have gone beyond the simple "kill monsters, get neat weapon, kill tougher monsters" mechanic that seems to drive Lineage 2. In the absence of a compelling and original game world, this type of gameplay just doesn't hold much interest for us anymore.
A lot of the game's fans are holding out for the upcoming siege elements. Unfortunately, this is the same sort of weakness we saw in Shadowbane; both games have compelling and original content for high-level characters but there's precious little to keep us playing until we reach high enough levels to participate. I can't simply go through the motions, grinding out level after level in anticipation of greater fun to come. I want something fun now, not twenty levels from now.
