Overview

Lineage II screenshot of an elven character

Players create a character as their avatar in the game's medieval-style virtual world. Humans, Elves and Dark Elves start off in the Kingdom of Aden while Dwarves and Orcs start off in the Kingdom of Elmore (Elmore was an entirely different continent until recent versions of the game that have since joined Elmore to Aden). Players can choose from either fighter or mystic professions at the start, except for Dwarves which are only able to select the fighter profession. This choice acts as an archetype for later profession options. Each race has its own set of classes, even if humans, elves and darkelves have a lot of classes which are very similar to their counterparts in the other two races.

Players have a variety of things they can do for fun in the game. They play alone or as part of a group to fight monsters and complete quests for new skills, experience points, and items. Player versus player (PvP) is a significant portion of the game. The game provides many social, political, and economic aspects which are developed through the community and by the actions, in-game, of single players. Lineage II features siege warfare like the original. To make sure PvP stays under control, the design includes a Karma system that provides negative consequences for killing other players when they are not fighting back.

Saga

Sagas are the set of story plots of Lineage II. The first time they introduced this is with the introduction of Saga 2: The Chaotic Throne which will start with the "Interlude". The first Saga was entitled "The Chaotic Chronicle"


Chronicles

Chronicles are large-scale updates to Lineage II done every half a year. They are free expansions to the game that every subscriber must download in the form of a patch. As the "Chronicles" advance, a new story develops. There are major game alterations in each new Chronicle, and the game balance has greatly changed in every case so far. Each chronicle also adds a great deal of new content to the game, including new skills, quests, areas and items; some chronicles also increased the level cap.


Saga 1: The Chaotic Chronicle

Prelude (Chronicle 0)

Lineage II went live in North America on April 27, 2004. All open beta players were required to purchase a copy of Lineage II to obtain a CD key to activate their previously used account. The purchase included the payment for the first month of gameplay. Prelude was the first time a monthly fee of $15 was charged.


There was no change in game mechanics between open beta and prelude.


Chronicle 1 : Harbingers of War

Released June 29, 2004 Chronicle 1: Harbingers of War added stirring castle sieges, new fierce monsters, items and quests, and a significantly expanded 3D world. Among the many new quests available to players is the Audience with the Land Dragon quest, which results in a showdown with the massive Land Dragon, Antharas. [3][4] Many of the new quests are designed to challenge higher level players, in particular. Also featured in Chronicle 1 are dozens of new weapons and skills for players to obtain. Clan housing was added, where clans can bid on clan halls through an auction system. Additionally, player and creature movement speeds were increased and new PvP arenas were added. For PvP in multiplayer computer role-playing games, see player versus player. ...


Chronicle 2 : Age of Splendor

In Chronicle 1, when a clan successfully won a castle siege, there was not much gained from it other than reputation and pride. After Chronicle 2 was released December 8, 2004, a manor system was added. New parts of the map were added as well, such as the water city of Heine, Devastated Castle, Tower of Insolence, the castle of Innadril, the Aden Coliseum, Alligator Island, Field of Whispers, Field of Silence, and others. December 8, 2004 Delegates from twelve South American countries meeting in Cuzco, Peru, sign a deal creating the South American Community of Nations, a bloc modelled on the European Union. ...


Chronicle 3 : Rise of Darkness

With Chronicle 3 released May 2005, came a new twist to the L2 universe called the Seven Signs. The idea behind this twist is to pit two factions (Dusk & Dawn) against one another in a competition for Seals. This competition is voluntary but not joining may hinder progress later in the game (when one is a high level player). Seal stones are items dropped by mobs that, when turned in, will give players Ancient Adena. Ancient Adena is another level of the Economy in L2 and allows players to purchase items they would not normally have access to. 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- → Wikimedia Commons has media related to: May 2005 Deaths in May May 26: Eddie Albert May 25: Ismail Merchant May 25: Sunil Dutt May 25: Graham Kennedy May 22: Thurl Ravenscroft May 21: Howard Morris May 21... To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...


The addition of the Seven Signs competition also brought a large number of dungeons across Aden called Catacombs and Necropolises, that only participants in the competition can access. For one week, players compete for and turn in as many seal stones as they can. When dawn wins, the sky turns light blue and the moon gets a giant closed blue eye; When dusk wins, the sky turns red and the moon gets a giant open red eye.[5]. Winners are given exclusive access to the Catacombs/Necropolis and the losing side will be locked out for one week. During this period, players can also exchange their seal stones for Ancient Adena. There is also a part called the Festival for parties of 6 or more. The party enters a room and kills monsters (also called mobs) until a time limit is up. This part of the Seven Signs also contributes to scoring in the Seals competition.


Other notable changes are: castle owners now have access to a fire-breathing Wyvern (Dragon) that they can fly around Aden (it should also be noted that they are very expensive to spawn and keep alive while in use); A Grade armor/weapons were added; and a subclass system was introduced that allows players to add another class to their character after level 75.


Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny

Scions of Destiny was released on February 8, 2006. It featured expanded content in the form of new territories, enemies, summons, equipment, and a system designed to reward diligent, high level players that are victorious in a tournament in which they contend with other players in single combat. This expansion was released by NCsoft's North American counterpart on their Public Test Server on the 8th of January, 2006.


Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood

The Chronicle 5 expansion was released September 6, 2006. Clans received a makeover and the player level cap was raised to 80. New siegeable castles were added to the towns of Rune and Schuttgart. The Demonic Sword Zariche was introduced.


Clan reputation can now be earned through Clan Academy, Clan Warfare, Clan Hall Battles and Clan Quests. Clan Reputation can be used to increase the rank of the clan to unlock clan skills and items. Clans of rank 5 and higher can create academies for the purpose of training and developing clan members. Members that complete their second class transfers through the academy receive commemorative items and increases the clan's reputation. Clan members of level 5 and higher can obtain a clan title. Clans can now have a maximum of 140 players, compared to the previous 40 players; accordingly, alliances can now only have 3 clans, instead of the previous limit of 12.


Roughly 50 skills were added for levels 55+ and the functions of certain skills were refined.


An extensive new crafting system was also introduced based on Life Crystals[6] farmed from raid bosses, which can be traded to NPCs for items.


Saga 2: The Chaotic Throne

Interlude (Throne 0)

The name of the next Lineage II Saga was made public on October 12, 2006. Named "Lineage II: The Chaotic Throne", and the first release is entitled "Interlude", setting a new course for the Lineage II legacy[7]. Interlude went live on Korean servers in December 2006, while on the US & EU regions, Interlude went live on April 11, 2007[8].


Lineage II South-East Asia started with the Interlude patch on August 1, 2007, skipping the 3-year long Saga 1: The Chaotic Chronicle.


Features : Roughly 60 skills will be added, 51 of those are for levels 76+ and 9 for levels 55+. The function of certain skills will be refined.


Interlude consists of many new features, other things include masks, weapon augmentations, additional hunting zones, a new demonic weapon for PvP, and a lot more. Interlude features the 'lost island' (or new island for the players) named "Primeval Isle" where, according to Lore, the Giants used to live. You can reach there by taking a ship, by swimming from the north of the dark elf village, or jumping off Rune castle town's harbor and swimming there.


1st Throne: The Kamael: Hellbound

The 1st Throne was released to the retail server on Wednesday, December 12th 2007. 1st Throne includes a new race, "The Kamael".[9] Official art depicts them having a single wing and have elven characteristics, but whereas the elves use light magic, the Kamael will use dark magic. The 1st Throne also introduces the Fortresses which will allow smaller clans to retain a site whereas major clans hold castles, the fortress system creates a feudal system between clans as fortress owners will be required to swear allegiance to the territory rulers (castle owners) in order to gain some additional benefits. Fortresses have an internal instanced dungeon and private NPC shops and services such as buffs.


The expected nation wars (inter-server mass pvp) were not introduced in this update as previously believed.

Characters

Characters act as a player’s avatar within the game. Players are afforded up to 7 characters per server. As characters kill non-player character (NPC) monsters, they accumulate experience and skill points (SP). As experience points accumulate, the character's "level" increases, meaning various attributes of the character are augmented. In Chronicle 5, the level cap has been set at 80. Players purchase and then upgrade their character’s skills using SP. A character may only be deleted if not a member of a guild, or clan. The process of deletion usually takes six to seven days. Harbinger, The Atlas is now The Throe.


Races

There are currently six races in the World of Lineage II. Human, Elf, Dark Elf, Orc, Dwarf, and Kamael. This article is about modern humans. ...

For other uses, see Orc (disambiguation). ... This article is about the mythical creature. ...


Classes

There are currently a large amount of classes (36) for all races all together. Each race and subsequent class has a set amount of Stat Points already assigned to their class.


Subclasses

Dark Elf with a Grand Khavatari (Orc) subclass

Upon completing the quests after reaching level 75, a player may add subclass to their character. This subclass starts at level 40. Limitations are put in place on what subclass one can choose. Dark Elves and Elves may not choose a class from their opposing race. Overlord and Warsmith cannot be chosen by any class. In addition a player may not choose a class that matches their main class (a Dark Avenger may not become a Paladin, likewise a Treasure Hunter may not become a Plains Walker). Once a subclass has reached level 75, you may choose another. A character may hold a total of three subclasses in addition to their main class.


Players are able to switch between their main and subclasses through the appropriate NPC. Once the class has been changed, the character’s attributes switch to those of chosen class. However inventory, quests, recommendations, PvP and PK scores carry over.


Heroes

Heroes are Noblesse characters who have competed in and won the Grand Olympiad at least 1 out 9 times. There is a limit of 35 Heroes at any time. Only the character's main class will receive the title. Heroes receive special weapons and abilities; in addition, they may speak globally to their entire server. They also receive a glowing aura so that they stand out against other characters.


Pets

In Lineage II, a player can obtain a monster that becomes their pet through the completion of quests. Unlike other summons or magic, as long as certain conditions are met, a pet will not be bound by time limitations, nor will it be dismissed by force. These pets can also hold items in their inventories while they are called, including weapons and armor that can be equipped by the pet.


Pets fall into two categories:


Pet earned experience: Wolf, Dire Wolf, Hatchling, Strider, and Wyvern.
Player earned experience: Baby Buffalo, Baby Cougar, Baby Kookaburra, Bembex and Sin Eater


As of the most current update of The 1st Throne: The Kamael, pets no longer must earn their own xp but rather obtain a percentage of experience points based on their level with the player.


Concenrning the Hatchling and Wolf Pets; they are the only Lineage II Pets that may evolve. The hatchling or Baby Dragon has an evolutionary Pattern through which it evolves into the Strider and under Special means to a Wyvern. The only means to obtain the Wyvern the Player must be a Clan Leader and must have control of a castle or must be in control of a Clan Hall in the town of Aden. The Strider or Wyvern are the only pets a player may use as a form of transportation.


Geography

Currently, Lineage II is broken into two regions, Aden and Elmore.


Aden lies south of the Border Outposts and its capital castle is Aden Castle. Elmore lies to the north of the Outposts and encompasses Goddard, Rune and Shuttgart. Its capital castle is Rune Castle.


Aden currently taxes the following castles: Gludio, Dion, Giran, Oren, and Innadril.


Rune currently taxes the following castles: Goddard, Schuttgart.


Aden's geography ranges from deserts to tropical forests. Elmore is more rugged having mostly mountainous regions along with a frozen winter wastelands.


NCsoft Publisher Partnerships

NCsoft & AsianMedia

Lineage II - South-East Asia or simply L2-SEA is NCsoft's first "Publishing License" grant for their flagship game to a completely independent company. NCsoft granted a distribution license to AsianMedia for ArenaNet's Guild Wars for the Philippines. AsianMedia has been licensed to distribute, publish, and operate Lineage II. NCsoft's licensing grant initially limits AsianMedia licensing to three countries namely, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.


NCsoft & NCtrue

In July of 2005, NCsoft[1] (Korea) and True[2] (True Corporation Public Company Ltd., formerly Telecom Asia) established NCtrue as a joint-venture. The companies publicly reported the funding for the venture was capitalized at $4 million USD, and that NCsoft would hold a 49% stake in the venture, and True 51% respectively.


NCsoft president, Kim Jack, stated that Thailand, would serve as the gate to Southeast Asia market and that the venture would be instrumental in laying the framework to penetrate the Southeast Asian market in the future. Moreover, the intention of the venture was to take NCsoft one step closer to constructing a global network for online gaming services like Lineage 2.


Currently NCsoft has joint venture offices in Japan, Taiwan, and China.


Private servers

In 2004, the official Lineage II server software was leaked and a significant number of private servers appeared. Modification of the official game client allowed players to connect to non-official (private) servers. However, some private servers that run emulated server code require only modification of the hosts file in the player's operating system, leaving the client unchanged. The hosts file is a computer file used to store information on where to find a node on a computer network. ...


There are currently three completely independent open source server emulators. All of which have been released under the GPL license and allow the client to connect with only a host file change. L2J, the first emulator created for Lineage II, is written in Java, and is the most mature server emulator available. L2Adena[3] is written in C++ and is currently under development. L2castell[4] is a complete rewrite of a Java server emulator started by L2J developers who disagreed with certain design aspects of the server. Open source refers to projects that are open to the public and which draw on other projects that are freely available to the general public. ... To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ... The GNU logo For other uses of GPL, see GPL (disambiguation). ... L2J is an open source server emulator based on Java for the MMORPG Lineage 2, which was developed by NCsoft. ... Java language redirects here. ...


Some private servers have populations reaching into the thousands. Playing on private servers is free, although many are supported by donations from players.


After the initial Prelude and Chronicle 1 file leaks, the official software was modified by the use of Assembly Language, Hexadecimal Editing and DLL hooks to support the clients and features of later Chronicles. These modified versions of the Chronicle 1 software were called "Hybrid". An assembly language is a low-level language for programming computers. ... A hex editor (or binary file editor or byte editor) is a type of computer program that allows a user to manipulate binary (normally non-plain text) computer files. ... In computer science, a library is a collection of subprograms used to develop software. ...


Currently, it is common for private servers to be found hosting Interlude. The game play is commonly altered by boosting the experience rates, the monetary drop rate, and the item drop rate, making higher-quality gear easier to obtain. Many servers also feature unique "twists" which keep them apart from the rest.


In 2006, the Lineage II Chronicle 4 Public Test Server files were leaked and sold to private server owners. Figures as high as $15,000 US were being asked, but it's not confirmed if anyone paid for this, as the files were later leaked from the sellers and made publicly available. The C4 applications require a 64-bit microprocessor architecture to run. In computing, a 64-bit component is one in which data are processed or stored in 64-bit units (words). ... To a large extent, the design of a CPU, or central processing unit, is the design of its control unit. ...


NCsoft has taken some actions against private servers. One such server has been shut down by the FBI while its owner has been arrested for copyright violation.


As of 2007, the community created server files for Chronicle 5 have reached a useful level of accuracy. Private servers based on these files are getting more and more popular in the private server community.


The GameSites200 Lineage II Section[5], Hopzone[6] and Games Top 100[7] are the main places of competition, where each server competes for user votes to rank itself among the top servers. Currently these sites contain very inaccurate vote results, as there is an ongoing epidemic of "proxy voting" (cheating). In epidemiology, an epidemic (from [[Latin language] epi- upon + demos people) is a disease that appears as new cases in a given human population, during a given period, at a rate that substantially exceeds what is expected, based on recent experience (the number of new cases in the population during... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Postal voting. ... Cheat redirects here. ...


NCsoft Involvement

On November 16, 2006, the private server L2Extreme was shut down by the FBI. L2Extreme has recently resurfaced in the private gaming community. During the time L2Extreme was shut down, countless rumors pertaining to the reasons surfaced. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a federal criminal investigative, intelligence agency, and the primary investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). ...


On November 20, 2006, NCsoft issued an official press release[10] on their involvement with the FBI raid, verifying its validity. Additionally, the news was posted on the official Lineage II website, and a report was also posted on the FBI website in February 2007.[11] NCsoft (KSE: 036570) is a South Korean based online computer game company. ...


On November 21, 2006, NCsoft began sending out cease and desist warnings to many private servers or their hosts.[citation needed] Cease-and-desist is a legal term meaning essentially stop: It is used in demands for a person or organization to stop doing something (to cease and desist from doing it). ...


Gameguard

GameGuard is an Anti-Cheat Protection by INCA Internet that attempts to prevent cheating or hacking in games such as botting or memory modifications; if Gameguard detects hacking by the user or any other illegal activity it will close down the client. nProtect GameGuard (sometimes called GG, with a driver named GameMon. ...


Botting

Like many MMORPGs, Lineage II has been the target of botting, in which an external program is used to simulate the actions of a player. Such activity is prohibited and is a bannable offense, though seemingly rarely enforced. Nevertheless, players continue this practice, since the player is able to leave his/her computer and the bot will continue doing what it has been programmed to do. Some of the most well-known bots are L2Walker and Superman (formerly known as L2Wind). There is a conspiracy theory, based on fine coding, numerous features and versatility of those programs (surpassing the official game client by far), that developers of Wind and Walker were/are in league with NCsoft itself.[citation needed] An image from World of Warcraft, one of the largest commercial MMORPGs as of 2004, based on active subscriptions. ... Contrast with aimbot, a type of software that is used to cheat in multiplayer games A bot, most prominently in the first person shooter PC game types (FPS), is a robotic computer controlled entity that simulates an online or LAN multiplayer human deathmatch opponent, team deathmatch opponent or a cooperative...


Apart from easing some of the more mundane aspects of gameplay, botting can also be used as a way to generate Adena (Lineage II currency) which is then sold for real world cash. This phenomenon, Economy Interaction, is quite controversial and is common in most of today's large MMORPGs. A bot is common parlance on the Internet for a software program that is a software agent. ... A virtual economy (or sometimes synthetic economy) is an emergent economy existing in a virtual persistent world, usually in the context of an Internet game. ...


It should be noted that GameGuard, the "anti-cheat" system used by Lineage II, allows a player to run the game with the aforementioned bot programs running in the background; the player does not need any form of "anti-cheat" bypass to bot in this game. On the other hand, some other tools are blocked by GameGuard, like the "GameCam" program which is not a cheating tool but a program used to produce videos from in-game footage. The majority of private Lineage II servers make it impossible to start the game when a bot program is detected on the player's computer. nProtect GameGuard (sometimes called GG, with a driver named GameMon. ...


Controversy

Current As of Interlude, NCsoft has released two weapons called "The Demonic Sword Zariche" and "The Blood Sword Akamanah". These swords are very powerful, but are also temporary: they disappear once their "health" runs out. The swords are found as random drops from slain enemies. The developers have said that they are willing to see if these swords will help stop botting because of the strength that they possess, but players use the swords mainly for powerleveling.

Pricing

The Armchair Empire - PC Previews: Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle (942 words)
Sporting the largest current number of subscribers for a MMORPG with Lineage, the folks at NCSoft have quite the task ahead of them as they are currently in the process of making a sequel to this game with Lineage II on the PC.
Clan leaders aren’t all-powerful in Lineage II, as the game goes by the philosophy that every member of the clan has something valuable to bring to the table, and if they’re unhappy with their leadership it’s well within their rights to revolt, or form alliances with other clans to oust the leader and his loyalists.
Lineage II isn’t all about fighting though, as it will encourage a player-run economy as clans take over land and start up villages or castles that pump out special items or mass produce commercial goods so they can earn money for the war effort.
