Lineage II

Several years ago, the game "Lineage" was very popular among gamers, where the characters of the fantasy world clashed among themselves. A kind of nostalgia can be called "Lineage II", which the developers presented more for the veterans of the game. Although beginners will also find a lot of interesting things in it. In fact, this is a prequel, the events unfold 150 years before the beginning of those in the original version. The fast-paced RPG multiplayer game quickly attracted both former and new fans.

A story from the authors

The game starts from the continent of Aden, which consists of the southern Kingdom of the same name and the northern Kingdom of Elmore. In the new "toy" the size of the continent is much larger, which has created many new play areas. The border passes through the outposts, the capital of Aden is Aden Castle, and Elmore is Runa Castle. Players can move throughout the territory, except for the courtyards of castles, fortresses, locations of strong raid bosses and time zones. No, you can also walk in time zones, but! Only in a good group, and if alone, then for a very short time.

Lineage II Characters

A player can choose a hero from any races and classes. And the highlight is that no parameters refer the gamer to any parties to the conflict or factions. Up to 7 characters can be created on any server. There is also a game mode against AI opponents, who are called mobs, and against heroes controlled by living people. Participants are allowed to join in both modes, groups are formed:

• large;
• small;
• persistent;
• temporary.

Constants include a clan, an alliance, a group, and a command channel. The gamer can play alone, create his own clan or join any other. You can easily conclude and break alliances, declare war - in general, beat enemies by any means. As for the mobs, they are also capable of acting alone and in groups, it turns out that some can be defeated by one player, while others can only be defeated by a group.

Character stats

Races practically repeat the company that gathered in Tolkien's books, so the battles acquire a special charm. Who's on the main list:

• People. Considered weak creatures, but gaining the upper hand with ingenuity and cunning.
• Orcs. Born warriors, the offspring of the fire god Pa'agrio, wreak havoc and death.
• Dwarfs. As the creations of the earth goddess Maphr, they became famous for their adoration of gold. They are also great artisans and merchants, the only race that can rivet armor using special recipes.
• Light elves. Children of the water goddess, living in forests, talented in magic, the best healers.
• Dark Elves. Worship the goddess Shilen, dwell in the scorched lands, where the smell of blood and death is felt. They have no equal in murder and dark magic.

The peculiarity of the game "Lineage II" is that there are practically no pronounced scoundrels and heroes here. In any race, a gamer can become a healer, battle mage, archer or warrior. There are also blacksmiths and summoners. A rich selection of weapons and armor, exciting raids, interesting companies - all this is the fantasy war of "Lineage II". Often characters who have only 3 skills, but the excitement and perseverance will be enough for ten people zealously clash. By the way, the game marks those who have agreed to fight in purple. But it is also important to take into account that it is worth hitting one player who prevents from hitting the mobs, as a dozen more who want to wave their swords can immediately come running.

Lineage II Weapons and Equipment

In the game, they acquire for their heroes not only swords and armor, but also jewelry, raincoats, belts, bracelets and talismans. Equipment is divided into ranks, they determine the level of the character. The higher the level, the higher the quality of the item, but getting one is much more difficult. If low-rank items can be bought in the store, then high-rank items can be bought only by collecting resources for a long time or by killing stronger opponents.

The weapon enhances the characteristics of the hero, but it is important to choose the right armor as well, taking into account the desired race. For example, a heavy one is bought for knights, warriors, a light one - for archers and soldiers of the support class. Mages and summoners cannot do without a magical robe, it helps to heal and strengthen allies.

Jewelry plays an important role, it protects against enemy combat magic. But epic jewelry - raid bosses - adds qualities to the characteristics of characters and helps in the extraction of game resources.

Innovations

In the original version, players could rake off fines, lose things, feel a strong lack of money in the first steps and huge competition in the zones. In the new game, they were given the ability to automatically use cartridges that increase attacks, removed the need to buy books to learn skills.

The game itself is simple and very addictive, many gamers have come back to it as adults to remember how they had fun in the original version. But even today's teenagers are thrilled to drive orcs and dark elves in the role of palladin, and if you also imagine yourself as a hero of Tolkien's book, then it will be much more fun.
