The latest update to Lineage II is pushing beyond all of the its various limitations. Tired of the level cap? It’s gone. No, not expanded, just… gone, apparently. Players can also push onward to a new tier of advancement past Noblesse, becoming Exalted and gaining access to new exclusive skills and the like. There are also two new zones, a powerful new raid boss, and plenty of story to go along with the update.
This all coincides with the game’s 11th anniversary celebrations, which mean new items in the game’s cash shop and a special Veteran Pack for players who have been with the game for an extended period of time.
With that much history, it’s possible that some players would rather start back at the beginning and move forward in a more measured fashion. An official classic server is possible at this point, but the developers behind the server are gauging interest first, asking players who are interested to register with a target threshold of 15,000 signatures. If you’re a bit more interested in looking backward than forward, you should check that out.
