Lineage 2 advertises round the web by being the ultimate PvP experience out there. I personally found this to be true, but still the game does not draw as much players as you'd think it would. Ofc, not all the MMORPG players out there love PvP so much, but L2 addresses a small niche segment - the hardcore pvpers. The biggest competitor is World of Warcraft, despite having a totally different approach on the PvP aspects.
L2 PvP is based on encounters between groups, and the ability of the leader to manage his troops on the battle ground. WoW on the other hand thinks more of the small battles, where 4-5 players interact. The realism in Lineage is present in all PvP battles - they are fairly short and filled with elements of surprise like ambushes or strategic battle moves like the envelopment of the enemies troops. WoW is way far at the other end. PvP in there is much like a game of chess, where the individual needs to know a lot of inside info on skills, timing and have good reactions.
And this is the big gap between them. Boom ! Headshot! Does this wake a chill up your spine ? Well this is what Lineage 2 gives you in PvP. WoW pvpeing is mostly a cerebral action. L2 pvpeing is like a real war.
Lineage 2 pvp sounds good, but there's a problem that pushes players away - gamers generally want to be the 'do it yourself' kind. They don't like taking orders for the greater good, so they take on WoW and hope to be the best solo pvper out there. What you choose is what you like.
