Lineage II Review:

Developed by NCsoft for Windows.

SYNOPSIS

Lineage II is a fantasy massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for the PC, and a prequel set 150 years before Lineage. The world of Lineage II is a war-torn land spanning two continents, where trust and betrayal clash as three kingdoms vie for power.

BACKGROUND

The young king Raoul has successfully quenched a civil war and established the newest kingdom, Aden. Elmore, the military superpower located in the northern part of the continent, boasts that it is a direct descendent of ancient Elmoreden kingdom.  Gracia, located across the ocean on the west, is currently embroiled in a chaotic battle among blood relatives trying to take over the throne. These kingdoms share a delicate balance of power; however, within each kingdom they are vulnerable to internal strife, as each manor has strong desire for self-rule.

You have been thrown into this chaos. However, unlike the ordinary people who pray each day for safety, you have the power to protect yourself.

RACES AND CLASSES

Human
Humans are the race of diversity and potential. Among all creatures, Humans were the weakest. However, they have cultivated their own destiny and are now the most influential of the races. Among all races, they have the highest proportion of people holding high level professions, and they have the balanced capability to handle all types of professions.

The representative secondary classes for Humans are Knight, Warrior, Rogue, Cleric, and Wizard.
 
Elf
Elves worship the goddess of water, Eva. They have slim figures and long ears, and are characterized by their pure and innocent beauty. During the Era of Giants, they were the most powerful of the races. However, since the giants were destroyed and the era of power arrived, the power of the Elves has declined. Now, they dwell in the Elven Forest, part of Aden.

Secondary classes for Elves include Elven Knight, Elven Scout, Elven Wizard, and Elven Oracle.
 
Dark Elf
Dark Elves follow Shilen, the goddess of death who used to be the goddess of water before her fall from grace.

Originally, the Dark Elves used to belong to the Elven tribes. When the Elves were defeated by Humans, some of the Elves decided to learn black magic, the power of Gran Kain and Shilen, in order to obtain the power to defeat Humans. Their overall appearance is similar to that of Elves. However, they are taller and have dusky skin and silvery hair.

Dark Elves evolve into Palus Knight, Assassin, Dark Wizard, and Shillien Oracle classes.
 
Orc
Orcs, the race of fire, serve the god Pa’agrio. Among all the races, they have the most powerful physical strength.

After the destruction of the giants, they were able to chase out the force of Elves and gain the most powerful position on the continent. However, they were defeated by the Elf-Human alliance, and are now living in the arctic territory located in the northern part of the continent.

Orc secondary classes consist of Orc Raider, Monk, and Orc Shaman.
 
Dwarf
The Dwarves are the race of earth. They like to create things, possessing strong physical power and excellent manual dexterity.

After the destruction of the giants, the Dwarven race adopted the policy of “siding with the most powerful,” and as a result they became an isolated race. Their structure of society can be compared to a giant corporation. Even though Humans rule over the continent, Dwarves are renowned for their business savvy and capacity for organization. The Dwarf classes are divided into Scavengers, who find and retrieve raw materials, and Artisans, who manufacture products out of raw materials.
 
Kamael
The Kamael are born into their destined religion that serves an absolute ruler called the “Mother Nornil”. Under the Mother Nornil, they devote their faith in the Goddess of Past, who rules history, the Goddess of Present, who records everything happening at this moment, and the Goddess of Future, who forecasts what’s to come.

Kamael have an affinity towards darkness.  Because of this they can increase their own or decrease an enemy’s resistance to darkness, or bestow a darkness buff to their attacks. The Kamael can consume the souls of their enemies and turn the souls into energy to fuel their own skills. Most of their skills such as laying traps, buffs and magic can only be activated upon consuming a certain number of souls.

Kamael secondary classes, Trooper and Warder, are based on gender, but both derive their talents from that of the Soldier.

CASTLE SIEGE

Siege warfare is an innovative PvP combat system that began in Lineage. Lineage II’s siege warfare has two major goals: to bring out the best player strategies, and to create evolving political drama and excitement. Siege warfare can continuously create different strategies, even after several months or several years, and will leave you breathless and excited when you stand fully armed with your allies in front of the taken castle.

Numerous privileges are given to the clans who occupy the castle. They impose a tax on the shops around the castle, expand the facilities within the castle, manufacture various items, and offer the Castle Lord a Wyvern to conquer the sky. There are various systems in which the castle-owning clans operate and maintain many public facilities used by other players to make a profit.

COMBAT SYSTEM

In Lineage II, what you see on the screen is in real time. Therefore, it is critical to make an appropriate decision quickly for every situation you get in. Lineage II pursues both strategic features and action-oriented features by offering client-server synchronization and production of a client’s battle at the same time.

You will battle monsters with superior AI, use skills that need to be selected according to each particular situation, overcome situations through teamwork with other clan members, and experience action that is always thrilling, even when you kill a single monster.

SUMMON SYSTEM AND PETS

Some classes in Lineage II have the ability to summon a servitor. In order to summon a servitor, a particular number and type of crystals are required. Servitors exhibit excellent abilities both as a player’s partner during combat and also as a highly skilled and expert hunter.

In Lineage II, a player can obtain a monster that becomes their pet. Unlike servitors, as long as certain conditions are met, a pet will not be bound by time limitations. These pets can also hold items in their inventories, including weapons and armor that can be equipped by the pet.

There are four types of adult NPC pets: Wolf, Great Wolf, Hatchling, Strider, and Wyvern. There are also three types of Baby Pets: Baby Buffalo, Baby Cougar, and Baby Kookaburra. And now, there are also Improved Baby Pets, Red Striders, Fenrirs and Snow Fenrirs.

VITALITY SYSTEM

Vitality System is designed to allow for easier leveling by providing bonus experience points while hunting. Vitality Points can be acquired when your characters are offline, in a peace zone, or hunting Raid Bosses. When you accumulate Vitality Points and raise your Vitality Level, the bonus experience points that you acquire increase in proportion to your Vitality Level. When you obtain experience points by hunting regular monsters rather than bosses or raid monsters, Vitality Points are consumed.
