Chapter 2

Now having explained the characteristics of Lithuanian players, you know now the basic behavior pattern of any Lineage 2 player different from a regular one. The behavior patterns of all these different nationalities inherit a lot of properties from the Lithuanians. At least in my case it’s the other nationalities that have inherited parts of this behavior pattern. Others may have experienced in a different order.

Players often think that the fault lies with the administrator, not performing their job correctly. This is entirely correct, however, it is a given that we not do our job correctly since it’s impossible to satisfy all these different players from all these different countries. For example, it is entirely impossible to satisfy a Greek player whereas Polish players absolutely do not appreciate any changes made or any support that is not extremely urgent.  Having that said, it may be save to say that it’s dangerous to house different players of different nationalities in a single server, however, some exceptions are present with players that have a higher intelligence. Notable is that on first sight it is nearly impossible to determine which country these players are from. So all together, it’s a level of intellect that make these players awful to play with, and it seems their nationality determines the amount of annoyance they cause.

After my encounters with Lithuanian players, which caused the server to close, Dark Warrior and I decided to open a new server. This community was a magnet for a whole collection of different nationalities, which was, at first, the Russians. The Russians did not differ from the Lithuanians much, they inherited all of the properties of their behavior and added something on top of that. It seems that the moral of the Russians was completely in the wrong place. Players, game masters, administrators and everyone else directly or indirectly connected to the server could always count on Russian insults here or there. Analyzing this behavior pattern became boring very quickly, since they apparently did not know any other words than ” Lox”, which apparently is Russian for gay. This lack of creativity only persisted in their dictionary as they were creative enough, or should I say persistent enough, to completely annihilate any rivalry they had including hacking. Luckily the majority of the Russians were too numb to even know what the word means.

But before I’m jumping to conclusions, let’s first analyze the additional behavior they show. Russians seem, next to Polish players, one of the most dedicated players there are. It is very common to see a player being logged in and playing actively for 24 hours or sometimes a little more. This unhealthy habit may be the cause of their aggressiveness as they spend way to much time on their character and preventing other players from developing as far as they do. An example of their aggressiveness is as following (Note: even though this did not happen on my own server, it was a highlight on the news). Two Russians clans were rivals of each other and over time they have developed extreme hatred for each other. One day the two enemy clans decided to look each other up in real life. The results: several heavily injured and one death. The most unlucky person of this incident happened to be one of the clan leaders. Because of this (Note: the alpha male behavior) the “winning” clan felt the urge to call, email and mail the mother and daughter of the clan leader stating  how much they’ve owned their sibling and that they would soon come back to come get his little sister as well. I’m lucky to state that this did not happen on our server. For us, the worst case scenario was where rivaling clans collected money which they eventually used to hire a hacker which would cause severe damage on both the rival clan and our server. This did not develop into serious trouble since my intelligence network informed me early enough about these developments.

Even though this is a mediocre explanation, it is pretty much obvious that Russians players are the most aggressive ones. This is nothing for them to be proud of, however, since their lack of intelligence makes them equally dangerous as well as harmless as the Lithuanians. Where they lack the numbers compared to the Lithuanians they are strong in their superior willpower.

Russians in today’s global Lineage 2 community don’t form extremely big threats anymore as they have all moved to their own servers, which are completely in Russian making us incapable to join them. Which doesn’t matter one bit, because I don’t see why I or any other more developed person would want to.
