Aden Kingdom, the war-torn world where trust and betrayal clash
The world of Lineage II is established with three kingdoms at its center which encompass the two large continents.
Aden, the new kingdom was established after Raoul, the young king successfully quenched a civil war. Elmore, the military superpower, is located in the northern part of the continent. It boasts that it is a direct descendent of ancient Elmoreden kingdom. Gracia is located across the ocean on the west. It is currently embroiled in a chaotic battle among blood relatives trying to take over the throne. While these kingdoms buffer each other?s power, within each kingdom since each manor has strong desire for self-rule. Therefore the kingdoms are vulnerable to the potential of internal strife as well.
You have been thrown into this chaos. However, unlike those weak ordinary people who pass each day by praying, you have the power to protect yourself. In Lineage II, developing a character is not an end by itself. Rather, it is used as an instrument to obtain the power you need to fulfill your will in this world. Become a king and rule over this world. Your own hand will write your own history in this world.
Features:
* Powerful Realtime 3D World:
- High Tension Battle: The graphic concept of Lineage II assumes a tremendous siege carried out by dozens of characters with advanced 3D details similar to those in fighting games. Picture the castle rampart standing high in the way of surging forces, plains being viewed by riding a dragon high in the sky, and archers on the rampart sniping at the coming enemy. These powerful scenes will be produced with the latest 3D technology.
- Character appearance and social interaction systems are supported, which reflect players' own characters in the cyber world. The characters are built via high-level 2D illustration for people who are not yet accustomed to a 3D game appearance.
- The right action at the right moment: Freestyle play is guaranteed through a solid physics engine. Players can fly in the sky, adventure deep in the ocean while searching for an undersea town, and express the joy of victory with friends.
* Simple Interface, Easy-To-Learn Game Structure:
- Lineage II applies Lineage's interface design philosophy. The simple, mouse-driven interface, which helps novices learn movement and combat quickly, has been recreated for the 3D game.
- Players at low levels will enjoy hunting for rewards, but as they gain experience and reach higher levels they can enjoy the complex war, politics, and economic systems. Lineage II intends to look simple, but also provides complexity and depth for more seasoned players.
* Class Diversification And Transmission System Which Maximizes Class Varieties:
- Players have many classes and characters to choose from. In Lineage II, each race has its own class tree, enabling players to change their character's appearance as they grow in the game. This makes advancing more fun.
- Players may also raise various NPCs and play them as their own characters.
