Free 2 Play game? Lots of Laughs xDD

[@wman3631]

If you are not NOOB you can be among elites without investing anything to it... But it takes time tho and the attribute of not being a noob...

[@philbowl1442]

I agree with Team Lara ;)

[@ErxToKox]

Team Lara are you smoking beer or something? Good luck winning PvP against someone who paid for enchantments. And please dont say you can buy enchanted/attributed gear on the market, cause you cant. No one sells equipment with best enchantments/attributes. You are not going to buy a item that cost someone literally over 1000 euro to make.

[@smaragdchaos]

@@wman3631 You must be high or something. You can't be elite in Metin2 without investing tons of money. You can't get the best equipment with just yang since nobody sells the top tier stuff, and there's no access to item shop buffs for a regular player. Metin2 was never fair for free 2 play players. The only Metin2 to ever be friendly to F2P is Metin2 Singapore, since it lets you farm most of the essential item shop stuff and allow you to compete with actual item shop junkies that way. Gameforge/Webzen would never ever allow for something like that lol.

[@philbowl1442]

I really love this game. I am playing it 8 years and i paid +/- 100 € only. It takes a time but i dont care. Now metin2 is something like facebook. We are not playing but just chatting with old friends. We really want to see new metin3. Please do it ! I dont care that i will be waiting a lot of years. Just say you are working on it and i will be happy !!! DONT LET THIS GAME DIE !!!!!!!!!

[@lucifer9033]

The thing is that you guys started copying pserver systems and that is not nice. You started learning from them how to deal with the community and now you attack their videos and other stuff like that. Metin2 lives because of the pservers, your "official" game got very boring at a certain point ;).

[@propov1802]

God I remember playing this game before they added genders. the first time I upgraded my fms to +9 was awesome good times. Today I logged on to see how it's doing and it's sad cities are empty no players online.

[@aurelianspodarec2629]

Your account would be deleted if you didn't log in within 2years. Mine did.

wtf where are you playing? no Players O.o

[@LucasGreen420]

Stabil die Fragen beantwortet

[@knox7248]

Wenn Metin2 DE wieder Erfolgreicher mit Einnahmen und Spielerzahlen sein will, müssten sie lieber mal komplett alle derzeitgen alten Server auf DE die heute noch laufen vernichten und Metin2 als Projekt neu starten! Sei es Metin3 oder Metin2.0. Müssten sich (trauiger weise) mal Konzept mäßig an Pservers umschauen, weil solche es meist besser hinbekommen mit z.b. ein Rüstungs/Waffen-Transmogsystem, keine Alchemie, etc. etc.! Sie sollten sich anschauen wie Metin2 De am Anfang war und lief und sich davon wieder ne scheibe abschneiden! Viel kontent den sie die Jahre neu gebracht haben war für die Tonne und ein spaß killer. Also.. weniger ist mehr oder die Pserver bleiben die spitzen verdiener imgegensatz zur GF/webzen!

[@intelektuelleserdbeben3722]

ich finde es gut das ihr jetzt youtube videos macht

[@dls5820]

All hackers will attack Gameforge every day

[@Akaiiro]

Also, is it true that Metin2 US is alot easier and economically lighter than Metin2 UK? I heard Soul Stones there sell for far less than in UK because they are easier to get, for example. Why is that? + I feel really bad for Gameforge. Webzen aren't even trying. With TERA and AION for example, GF eagerly anticipates and gets updates from Korean developers like Ncsoft and Bluehole (hence that is why Korean/Japanese game versions are always patches ahead), but with Metin2 it seems as GF has to develop their own projects to keep the game going. And they're focusing on the mobile platform, seriously? I went to their website and I didn't even see Metin2 featured under their games collection. In all honesty, GF should just buy Metin2 from them or put even more pressure onto them. Thanks for this interview.

[@tomscholtzel2950]

Differences between UK and US are just up to different community's economy, not intended by us. Thanks for feedback! :-)

[@metin2]

Hi, thanks for your feedback, but this is not completely right: if you create a support ticket another team (in DE) is taking care of it, not the regular team. We prove a lot of such requests, but sadly usually the measures/bans etc. are correct. If you can give me any concrete hints/cases, I will check. Best Tom

[@fulahno]

Why can't Vouchers become a permanent feature in the Item Shop? It would battle the black market a great deal and it would prevent a lot of robbery. I've known a great deal of players that gave up playing the game because they were stolen through black market selling items or paysafecards

[@antoniopimpao9645]

Try increasing the success rates to create the new armours and shoes....They are ridiculously low. Try this for a change: i will allow you to play on my metin2 account, try to forge any random armour or shoes, from scratch. You will see what i am talking about. Like if it is not enough, the drop itself for the main crafting items to create them is very low.

[@edoardoricci]

It was a great game, 10 years ago, now you have to focus on a new game, not this shit of 2004, really.

[@ROOXshippuuden]

ich würde gerne metin 2 spielen ohne am anfang 100 euro reinzu hauen. Will kein Tuorial sondern mehr free zeug am Anfang um den Start einfacher zu machen

[@MB-ut6jh]

Hab Metin2 seit der Beta gespielt, nach fast 15 Jahren ist immer noch alles beim alten. Alles womit GameForge Geld verdienen kann oder verlieren könnte wird sofort geändert, alles andere dauert 2 Jahre... Good Job !

[@marksomogyi2953]

Hi Metin2 Could you tell me if I get on a mount while I wearing a Wedding suit (then my character will stand on the mount) is a bug usage/exploitation? Or just the local GM team arbitrarily threatens some player? Because they are threatens with permanent ban if we get on mount with suit for a few second. Thanks for your answer forward.

[@Mihawk07]

Wie viel kostet denn eine Lizenz für zb 3 Jahre?

[@PeterC24]

how do i get a hoodie like that?

[@Legend-wc8fy]

give us arabic transelation

[@HalfOp]

There cannot be added translations for each and every language, therefore the international one was added. If you cannot understand either one of those (english/german), you can try your luck with the automatic translation of subtitle, provided by google. Go to "settings", "subtitles", "translate subtitles" and select your pref. language). More than this, sorry.. can't be done.

[@el3ktr0st3p8]

+HalfOp măi Half.. ce drq, cand jucam ro acu 5-6 ani era un joc super frumos, acu in 2016 arati chestia asta. sper sa se inchida ro odata ca numai putem, credene... ni sa facut scarba efectiv... vreti bani , numa bani , si recurgeti la orice mijloace...

[@zedsbike4786]

[@Legend-wc8fy]

+ZedsBlade so are you arabian ?

[@iriticumare]

direct ce am inteles eu,nu o sa apare metin3. o sa apara probabil anul viitor noi run-uri pentru lvl 15-35 si ca metin2 nu o sa se inchida in 2020 restu o sa inceapa sa ii tune pe astea cu serverele private mai ales pe youtubermani care filmeaza servere private o sa le inchida clipu,la noi in romania mai greu dar in germania deja se aplica asa ca, #listenupgameforge

[@nklaustbd6630]

vrei sa spui ca inchid privatele?

[@HalfOp]

Sa nu apara Andreea Marin in cadru sa deschida iar emisiunea "Surprize Surprize" :) Apoi nu va mai fi "mai greu"

[@NAMB3R]

Ar fi cea mai simpla solutie sa inchida toate privatele sa fie mult mai multi jucatori pe official,si ar mai putea face tot pe serverul official sa se faca servere cu rata mai mare de crescut pt a atrage jucatori cei care jucau private easy sa nu se lase de metin :D:D

[@plangiQQ]

chiar daca s-ar inchide toate privatele, ce persoana cu capul pe umeri s-ar baga pe serverele gameforge ? cea mai mare problema a jocului este foamea de bani, ar putea alege o metoda de joc care sa nu fie p2w si totodata sa faca si profit, poate chiar mai mare. au ales o strategie proasta prin limitarea jucatorilor care nu baga bani. cand metin2 nu va mai fi p2w 100% ma voi intoarce la el.

[@el3ktr0st3p8]

+NAMB3R sa se inchida Ro si sa se lase privatele asa, cel mai bine!

[@medionnoidem5491]

was eigentlich mit Singapur ? die haben ja auch keine Lizens, könnte der Server down geht durch eine "attacke" von webzen ?

[@badzikcsgo4787]

Pepoles in Poland now hate , gameforge couz , we lost polish youtubers metin2 now , you can only wait 4 hate :3

[@dls5820]

it will happen if servers will close Metin2 P

[@GermanLookLikeTV]

Wieso kommt man nicht mal auf die Idee einen von den anderen Servern abgekapselten Server zu machen, zum Beispiel man muss 20-30€ einmalig bezahlen (also quasi als würde man das Spiel kaufen) um auf den Server zugreifen zu können, dafür gibt es auf diesem Server keinen richtigen itemshop mehr, also nurnoch ästhetische Sachen im itemshop und dann halt ein monatliches Abo von 5-10€ wenn Gameforge nun sagen würde, es würde sich nicht lohnen, sollen die halt mal ne Umfrage machen wieviele Spieler auf diesem Server spielen würden. Es wäre dann nämlich locker der meistgespielte Server da er sich natürlich dadurch das alles ingame erreichbar ist von den anderen unterscheided, fairer ist und nicht wirklich teuer. Bei einem Abo von 5-10€ kann man mir nicht sagen das es mit den Serverkosten nicht aufgehen würde, kaum Gewinnbringend wäre geschweige denn sich nicht lohnen würde da ja angeblich so wenig Spieler daran interesse hätten.

pai sa se ocupe de jocul lor. sa lase serverele private in pace sa ne putem juca si noi linistiti. nu pot forta jucatorii sa se joace pe ce au stricat ei. daca faceau o treaba calumea, stai linistit ca nu se mai juca nimeni pe private.
