With more than 17 million players worldwide
these new enhancements should be an instant success.
The main feature of the expansion is a new playable
race called the Kamael, one-winged soldiers who control
a form of dark magic and are presented in different
class paths based on gender, with both male and female
characters possessing distinct combat abilities. The
ultimate goal of the Kamael warriors, born on the Isle
of Souls, is to earn a second wing and reach the powerful
final enhanced form.
Adding to the intrigue and massive battles
Lineage II is known for are clan-based, daily fortress
battles. Smaller in scale to the enormous castle sieges,
the fortress battles will allow smaller clans to gain
a foothold on territory and elevating their clan in
the larger political and military background.
Highlights for veteran players of the
game include the addition of lands for those above level
70, Hellbound and the Isle of Prayer. Also coming soon,
highly requested game features such as character server
transfers, name changes and gender changes will become
available for purchase.
Newer players will enjoy new items and
enhancements that will aid the solo play experience
for those at lower levels, helping to make Lineage II
more accessible without diluting the challenge for which
the game is well known.
Additional new features include a set
of instanced dungeons and new item slots and items that
include new more powerful weapons and armour. Instanced
dungeons provide players a place where they can hunt
by themselves, untouched by players or creatures. There
are two different kinds of Instanced Dungeons: one that
requires a quest to enter, and the other that requires
the acquisition of a castle or fortress to enter. Also,
when players tackle particularly challenging adventures
or overcome monstrous bosses, they can capture the moment
on video with the game’s newly revamped record
and replay system that allows players full control of
their footage playback when they view their captured
battles.
Existing players of Lineage II will
receive The Kamael update automatically to their accounts.
For gamers wishing to experience Lineage II for the
first time, the game is available at retail at £14.99,
which includes a 15 day time card, giving players a
total of 45 days play time. To purchase the game or
