The Lineage franchise is working overtime this week.
For starters, Lineage II Classic launches for North America today, after a successful run in Europe and Russia.
“Create your character from a selection of 31 classes and the five original races, each with varying skills and abilities. Go back to the days before instances, when earning a level was an achievement worthy of everyone shouting “grats.” You won’t want to go it alone in Lineage II Classic; form a clan with your allies and go to war, dominating your foes and gaining valuable loot. It’s your chance to relive the times when conquering an MMORPG server meant something!”
While the game is nominally free-to-play, NCsoft is vending launch packs with bonuses and cosmetics, and there’s a tiered rewards program for subbing as well.
Meanwhile, over in Lineage 2 Revolution, Netmarble announced that it’s preparing to launch the Orc race, bump the level cap to 320, and implement the Avento region, as well as tweak the server layout. The most interesting bit, however, as revealed at its player summit, is a “time-limited, special event featuring iconic Batman characters in collaboration with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC Entertainment to kick off the game’s first anniversary.” Whaaaaaat.
Finally, there’s Lineage II Dark Legacy, which NCsoft just dropped on the Google Play store last week. According to DroidGamers, it’s not a real MMORPG but rather a team-based dungeon crawler using gacha mechanics for hero collection.
Happy launch day, Lineage II Classic folks!
