Lineage 2: It all starts here for us! (not 56k friendly)

[Zak33]

update!

We have three character now, and alternate then.

Joint character, that we play in 15 minute shifts sat next to each other, which is a top laugh, and reminds me of playing Castle Wolfenstein in tandem with Nick years ago.

And a personal character each for gaming alone, which suprsed both of us in the choices we made for our own play style.

But we HAVE now suffered Player Killers.....last night, on leaving our home town, we were nuked in one shot, and then so was our kind brave escort, Sir Andrew.

The dude who was whooping everyone kept logging out, then back in, and nuking a few other noobs like us.

This is a thing that needs explaining, not because you don't all know what it's like, but why I have always liked Q3 and IL-2. There are NO level ups in those games...you're either good or you're not....end of. Different weapons of planes help, but if you die, you must learn more yourself.

But in this, there is always someone better than you cos they've spent more time powering up, or has purcahsed a character on ebay.

However....this is the good news.....all towns have differet exits, and while we could'nt kill the nob head as I'd like to have done, it gives us direction and passion...to get good, and come back and help noobs and nuke the bass arrogant ******s who feel Player Killing is good.

Mean time...we are adventuring, dungeoeering and just coming in a different gate to the town centre

top top night so far

lots more friendly people online tonight in Hindmith server.

People are just wandering past us and casting protective and power spells on us

Got wiped out n a dungeon when I least expected it, as a big old demon spawned right behind me and I didn't even see it until loads of damage landed on mt feeble lvl 10 body....and even then, I only lost a few items and came back to the game back at the home village.

Top top game looks amazing in some of the evening scenes.....setting moon over the hill

[Zak33]

these dungeons are hellish but so exciting

Feel like Drizzt wandering about with no friends

[ERU]

I have to admit (coming from a hardened WoW player) that game looks/sounds sweet!

[TheBuZZard]

Graphics look terrible to me, totally devoid of any charm.

do you think? It's one of the things that I like in the game.

As with most games, you need to see it "moving" to appreciate it, and it does have a very Japanese feel, but it's pretty good alround I think.

I "believe" it's an Unreal Tourny game engine.....think that's right.

[directhex]

it does have a very Japanese feel

well ****, 'cos it's korean O_o

[Zak33]

Korean....really ? wow

[directhex]

Korean....really ? wow

ncsoft are korean, and the lineage games come from their in-house development team (they also have a US team, headed by Richard Garriot of Ultima fame, plus they publish games by smaller developers)

lineage 1 used to be the most popular mmorpg worldwide due to the silly korean following - WoW now holds about 2.5x more suscribers than both lineage games combined

[Zak33]

Two wishes....



I wish it snowed in Lineage 2

and

I wish you could strap a pair of planks to my boots and ski
