Open Beta Testing For Lineage II

[LochnarITB]

P.S Is it just me or does levelling (at least in the start) is EXTREMELY slow and repetitive? Hardly any quests you can do for experience and the monsters are either too hard or too easy (especially in human's Talking Island)

It is not just you. In fact, I came to this thread intending to post the following:

Are all MMORPGs this boring or is this just because it is beta and may not have all the quests, monsters, etc.?

So far, I have spent my time killing little fox like guys (keltirs? - makes me feel bad, they yelp like I just kicked a dog), bunnies, giant toads and orcs. I have only been able to use one offensive spell and heal. I have three quests in my book, one completed, but they are each kill x number of y and bring the items (such as fur which just magically appears in your quest items - never seen on the ground) back to someone. The only difference is quantity of kills and the killees. Another thing that is giving me fits is finding my way around. Is there any map to this thing. I was given a quest by one of the masters in the beginning tutorial area (bring back fox fangs I think) but I've seen nothing resembling the "monsters" they said to kill and I haven't been able to find my way back to them either. I have also tried pulling up the help file from the button they have but it comes up blank. I don't know if I am even going to keep this installed to give it another try. If this is how all MMORPGs are, I'm glad I never wasted my money on any of them.

As far as getting into the servers, I tried all last evening with no luck. It was finally about 2am central time that I did get in so, of course, I had to try for a little while - didn't get to bed until after 5:30. I got dropped from the server a couple times but didn't notice any lag while playing.
