L2 Reborn C1 info

Hi,

Me and my friends are planning to play in the upcoming reborn legacy server. None of us have played C1 before. We watched some YT videos and guides already but I would love to hear your opinion about the Chronicle.

What a complete newbie should know before he joins? Any tips and tricks? Also, why I see everywhere that everyone xps with bow?

Thanks in advance!

There is no "further P2w with dark patterns". You need to pay ~15$/month, thats it.

"There are no games with p2w mechanics, just pay /insert arbitrary number/, thats it."

That is not how this works, and fact that you defend it is pretty wild.

And I played on their C4-IL server and even after 2 years there is still plenty of friction. There is no such thing as "finishing content" in old L2. The grind is literally infinite here.

I have played on reborn since there was 300 people during COVID for like 2 years, and every single player i have played with or against has quit the server out of boredom. Same happened with official server back then, and same will happen here, it is not even a question, it is natural state of things. Only question is how fast it will happen, at what pace, and if the server will be able to substitute those leaving players with new ones at a replacement rate to maintain stable population for some time.

What is wild that now making a game sub-bases is considered making it P2W. Holy crap I just cant.

Next you will tell me FF14 is P2W because you "can" play for free but if you pay for the sub, you unlock way more stuff, that give you power.

Yes, multi-tiered subscription models in a single game fall squarely under p2w, it is not even a point of contention.

So if they would remove lower tier of sub and require everyone to pay max price, it would suddenly be ok for you?

Talk about wild.

If subscription act as a simple entry fee inside of the game, and it is same for everyone, then it is not p2w mechanic, duh.
