6/30/2023 0 Comments Lineage w na![]() ![]() Developers chose to use the Unreal Engine 2 game engine because of its ability to render outdoor scenes and its powerful editing features. Lead Game Designer Raoul Kim said that the reason for rendering Lineage II in 3D was "simply because most games today are using 3D graphics", and because they deemed it "more appropriate than 2D for the things that were going to create". Īccording to Kim and Bae, the game's initial subtitle, "The Chaotic Chronicle", was developed with the intention to "express the large-scale war, strategies, conflicts, and collaborations that we hope to encourage among players". Kim and producer James Bae have stated that their reasons for developing a prequel for Lineage rather than a sequel is that " Lineage will continue to be updated as a game", and that "by working on its past, we will not be risking conflict with the direction of updates that Lineage will take in the future". Development happened in October–November of the same year. Hyeong-Jin Kim, the production team head for Lineage II, came up with the basic concept for the game in early 2000. There are currently seven races in the world of Lineage II: the Humans, who are similar to modern-day humans and who have all-around balanced characteristics the Elves, who have superior dexterity, movement, and casting speed, but weaker offense Dark Elves, who have higher magic and melee attack capabilities Orcs, who have higher HP and MP but slower movement Dwarves, who are powerful melee attackers and master craftsmen Kamael, who are humanoids with single wings and gender-specific job classes and Ertheia, female warriors with two completely unique classes, and different quest lines. ![]() Players are allowed to elect up to 7 characters per account. CharactersĬharacters play the role as a player's avatar within the game. Some expansion also increased the level cap. Each expansion new skills, quests, areas, and items. Large-scale updates/expansions are known as "Chronicles" (also known as "The Throne" in The Chaotic Throne, "Chapter" in Goddess of Destruction, and "Episode" in Epic Tale of Aden), which introduce new story elements as well as new features and add-ons. There are currently four sagas: "The Chaotic Chronicle", "The Chaotic Throne", "Goddess of Destruction", and "Epic Tale of Aden". The game follows a fictional history through sets of plots called "Sagas". ![]() Resurrection spells and elite scrolls generally restore some of the lost experience. Resurrecting in the nearest town will costs a fraction of the XP gained, which grows exponentially with level. They can also wait for another player to resurrect them with a Resurrection scroll or spell. If a player's character dies in battle, they are given the option to resurrect in the nearest town or village. Players can also fight other players through a PvP system. When the player defeats a monster, their character gets XP and SP to help them level up and learn new skills. Monsters can be found outside of Towns on the hunting fields or deep inside underground dungeons. Most commonly, the player can choose between a mage and a fighter in each race except Dwarves and Kamael, which can be only fighters.Ī major part of Lineage II gameplay is the combat. However, the gameplay allows many options for personalisation of the character visuals: for example, the player can choose attributes and traits like a hairstyle, hair colour, facial expression, and gender among other features.Įvery player has to begin the game in a temple in their character's race's zone (for example: Humans start in "Talking Island" and the Dark Elves in "The Shilen Temple"). They can choose their character's race and personalise the character's face and hair. The first thing a player does when playing Lineage II is to create a character. Lineage 2M was launched for the first time in South Korea in November 2019. A prequel, Lineage 2: Revolution, was released as a mobile game in 2016. Lineage II adopted a free-to-play model in Lineage II: Goddess of Destruction, with all game content being free except for "purchasable in-game store items and packs" in November 2011.
