Official servers are paid to play style, they are hosted by NCSOFT. Private servers are hacked versions of the official hosted by various guys around the world. As I told you before, private servers pretty much suck. They usually wipe the DB every 6 months, the game itself is bugged and you're not going to feel the game too much because the second you reach lvl 74 there will be some admin clan or character that will just terrorise you. Leaving aside the complete waste of time a private server is, they raise a fundamental question. Why can't NCSOFT shutdown the bots, while the private servers can ?
Yes, that's right. On the official Lineage 2 servers you can activate a bot program, but on most of the Lineage 2 private servers out there you can't. Why ? Simply because developers hired @ private servers can easily shutdown all access from bots. NCSOFT could even more easily do the same and get a Lineage 2 world free of bots (which everyone wants). But they don't.
This subject has been a long time dispute on the web... why won't the L2 team just put on hold all access from bot programs ? Is it because they have a revenue from the bot programs ? Is it because it will be a useless thing as the bot devs can break their safe guards ? Or maybe it's because of the structure in the Lineage 2 game - it's too hard to reach the top levels without a grinding work done by the player. This is just what people think.
Still, the Lineage 2 team is slowly but surely changing the game to make the players leave aside bots. The question is ... Will the players leave the bad habits aside ? I think not . The bot problem doesn't just affect L2, it's all over inside MMORPG games.
This is something going on worldwide in MMORPG games so the solution won't come easily. I just hope the L2 team takes a close look around them to see what changes in the mind of their players and come to meet their demands.
