Title: 2021’de hala Metin2 oynanır mı?
Forum: Metin2 TR Genel Sohbet / Player Discussions
Date: 2021
Arkadaşlar merhaba,
Biliyorum oyun çok eski ama 2021’de hala Metin2 oynanır mı? Değer mi? 2010–2012 arası oynuyordum, sonra bıraktım. Şimdi tekrar başlamayı düşünüyorum ama oyuncu kitlesi nasıl? Serverlar kalabalık mı, yoksa bot mu dolu?
Özellikle Gameforge serverlarında durum nedir? Plus hesap şart mı artık? Özel serverlar daha mı iyi?
Bir de itemler çok mu pahalı? Eskiden +9’lar lüks sayılırdı, şimdi herkes +10’a mı koşuyor?
Güncellemeler falan geldi mi? Yeni class, harita, event vs. var mı?
Kısacası: Nostalji için mi girilir, yoksa hala rekabetçi bir ortam var mı?
Cevaplarınız için şimdiden teşek.
