Lineage

Lineage is a fantasy MMORPG released in 1998 by the South Korean by NCsoft. It is most popular in Korea and is available in Chinese, Japanese, and English language versions. Lineage was designed by Jake Song, who also designed Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds. Like in other MMORPGs, we can pick one of 5 character classes – Elf, Prince, Dark Elf, Knight, or Magician.

It features classic RPG elements, such as beating monsters and completing tasks (quests) for a reward and experience points, levels, character attributes (charisma, wisdom, strength, etc.), and alignments (chaotic, neutral or lawful).

PvP combat is extensive in Lineage. We can engage in combat with other characters at any time as long as they are not in safe zones such as cities. By joining a bloodpledge we can engage castle sieges or participate in wars between bloodpledges.

As of April, 2008, Lineage has a little under 1 million active subscriptions.

Elmore is more rugged having mostly mountainous regions along with a frozen winter wastelands.

There are currently six races in the world of Lineage II

Elves – with high dexterity, movement, and high casting speed, but bad in offense
Humans – they have very balanced characteristics
Dark Elves – high magic and good melee attack
Dwarves – potent melee attackers and master craftsmen
Orcs – higher HP and MP but slow while moving
Kamael – humanoids with single wings

Humans, Elves and Dark Elves start off in the Kingdom of Aden. Dwarves and Orcs start off in the Kingdom of Elmore. We can choose from either fighter or mystic professions at the start, except for Dwarves and Kamael which are only able to select the fighter profession. There are currently a 36 classes for all races all together. Each race and subsequent class has a set amount of Stat Points already assigned to their class.

In Lineage II, a we can also obtain a monster that becomes our pet through the completion of quests. As long as certain conditions are met, a pet will not be bound by time limitations, nor will it be dismissed by force. These pets can be really helpful, because they can use their own armor, weapons and even own inventory.

Lineage and Lineage 2 are fantastic MMORPG – check out more about both games!
