actually its all the best people left, cause they wouldnt leave when they own castles and S80 gear, etc...but most of the best clans are playing on some private servers to avoid the botting and stuff...look at luna, 2/3 of the forces right now are from private servers.

man im thinking l2 is actually going to be an awesome game with that stuff, minus the botting
