Im sad to think L2 is on it's way out, but NCsoft NA don't seem to understand how to increase the populations by advertising the game - instead they downsize servers, and in the end it will kill off L2. People who don't play L2 for the PvP leave more readily when they are forced into PvP, and this happens more and more each downsize. People on low pop servers wanted to be left alone on the whole, precisely because there was no real threat of PvP there if they didn't want any.
I'd like to see an L3 - but only if it's run with more 'gusto'. NCsoft Korea knows how to run it.
