L2, now i myself havn't played it personally. but i havn't heard spectacular things about it either, actually i havn't heard many good things at all. The "clan" battles even in theory were a bads idea as lag will destroy it, you apperantly will run into your clone in about two minutes due to lack of choices in customization, and the pvp aspect opens the gates for the stronger players to sit around and just hack the hell out of lower level players for the fun if it, which would get very annoying due to the penalties that come with dieing. *Has a Diablo 2 Hardcore Realm flashback* Lvl 99 enters the game...shit logout..logout. Anyone that's played diablo 2 will remember those moments, well those of us that've played hardcore realm will anyway. Very annoying. And also when you die you have a chance of droping an item, well gee look another incentive for pkers anyone? If your truly into an pk infested nightmare of a game, then this is the one for you.

The clan battles work really well actually, because like you said later, you run into your 'clone'. That's what allows for sieges to happen which are insanely large scale and awesome, as long as you are running the right rig.

Don't worry about the PVP aspect either. They have something called Karma, if you kill someone you get bad karma and your name turns red and anyone that kills you while your name is red doesn't get bad karma.

Also, you can't drop items when killed by a PK'er unless you are red.
