My brother and I are thinking of playing again. We'd re-roll some new toons if we decide to play. Is it worth it? People seem to say it's a 'dead' game now. Any help is much appriciated, thanks in advance

Play Aion, it is similar with wings. And it will be active for a little while at least...

Not everyone will be able to afford the system to play Aion as well as the "new game" price tag. ;)

Not to mention that Aion is WoW wrapped in an Unreal engine with a sprinkle of grind.

I'm in Open Beta right now and Aion isn't half bad. Population wise Aion is going to be a better bet; at least until people get bored. It doesn't take an uber rig either, just dumb the graphics down.

Well thanks for the info on Aion, but I'm still curious about playing l2. Is it worth our time and effort or do you think it will pretty much die out soon?

I personally haven't played for quite some time now, so Guitar and the others would have a better grasp on the current server populations. Is it worth playing for content? If you have the time, enjoyed playing it previously (as I assume from your earlier post), and someone to group with I would say yes.
