I was thinking about playing Lineage again but I haven't played in about 2~3years. I checked the NCsoft site and my game account was gone but my NCsoft account was still active and I was wondering if that is normal if my account wasn't active for 2~3Years. So I might have to start over and I have no problem with that so... My main was a Royal(Fallin0ne) and my alts were an Elf(kooldog) and a Knight(TrueHero). Anyways I just wanted to know if the game is the same??? like has a lot of the things changed so if I start playing again will the changes get me lost/confused?
oh btw how are the bots?

There are many new areas,
There are many new areas, tons of new quests, new skills, new features, new items and class have been balanced.
After a 3 years break it took me some time to get into the game again. I felt like a noob and had to ask many question again.
There are still bots in the game, NC is fighting them. On Ken we had times almost without any bots (usually after mass bans) then weeks plenty of bots in TOS, DVC 5f, SKT 4f and Elemental Ruins. Almost all bots are monitored now (means someone is near the keyboard while the bot runs to respond to GMs or players nearby), which makes it hard to ban them after players accused them. Well, it's a daily fight :)

the bots are doing fine and they had little baby bots that are running a muck now.
