I have to agree with L2 being addictive as having had 6 accounts for 5 years myself. But NCSoft is not to blame for that. If blame must be placed it should be on how NCSoft operated the game. The amount of playtime required to level up was physically impossible for most humans, which is why at one point 80% of all players were "Bots" on the game. Having a real job, I could only play 3-5 hours a day so "botted" the remaining hours. The only 2 probs with that was the actual $$$ spent(accounts, bots, gil) and the fact that NCSoft knew and loved the bots(2-10 extra monthly subscription fee's) but if anyone didn't like you ingame they could report you and all your accounts would be banned. Simply put, Lineage2 is not a game for the occasional player, you must be either an Extreme Hardcore gamer or else be willing to blow a TON of $$$ to keep up in the game. Neither option is good for your real life. I can look back and see how stupid I was now, but it all made perfect sense when I was an L2 addict.
