Has anyone played Lineage II yet? Tell us about your experiences.
Seems like a great way to waste time until CB arrives. And, it seems like you can play a fully functioning beta.
Sorry if this is already under discussion in the forums, I didn\'t see it.
Lineage II write up at WarCry (http://lin.warcry.com/) .
-
haven\'t played it, but the graphics look awesome (albeit a bit \"korean\") I\'ve seen a couple of ingame movies from it, and I must say that it\'s given me a positive impression :)
(can\'t beat Dragon Empires though :P)
-
i read that theres gonna be DOA giggle effects according to game spy .......
SO get happy kids !
-
bah I want to play but if its going p2p I won\'t even bother getting addicted...GameSpy uses trickery to lure people!
-
although it\'s an open beta, my brother\'s been waiting for 4 days now and still didn\'t recieve the needed serial key -_- ...looks ok on the screenshots ...but i think that Ryzom (also hitting open beta soon) could be more interesting :]

Trickery? I\'m afraid to even ask. :P
Anyway, GS has a cool article about Lineage II. To read it, just trick --err-- click here (http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/lineage-ii-the-chaotic-chronicle/6481p1.html) . 8)
Xalthar, Dragon Empires does indeed look cool. Now I don\'t know which one to download.
Hook, Ryzom...ahah, hmm, yesss. Interesting. Well, maybe the Lineage II serial number hasn\'t come yet because the game is supposed to be available for retail sales 28 April? Sometimes, betas end when the games ships although there are many examples where a beta actually serves as a demo dl to attract more customers. Hope so in this case.
And, hopefully, someone who is actually playing the Lineage II beta will post in this thread. :P
(http://www.lordsofquake.com/linked-graphics/max-prisoner.jpg)
From the heavens came a strange people with metal skin and luminous eyes. They descended on Yliakum in a ponderous ship of steel and fire. Their arrival sent a shock wave of fear throughout the town. An Enki in heavy chains emerged from the ship followed by two soldiers, a more elegantly appointed one followed behind them. She levitated above the guards and prisoner to address the crowd: \"He is a convicted criminal. My government has sentenced him to one-hundred years of internment on your world. We will monitor him from time to time. If he causes you any trouble, kill him.\" The officer motioned to the guards and three of the strangers withdrew to the fireship. The hellish craft shot into the sky leaving only fear and the prisoner Maaximus behind.

Trickery as in the fact that they put up a post or whatever saying something about a new game getting someone like me all excited, they show you some screenshots but then when you go to the actually game site its not FREE! Though thats probally not their fault, just mine for expecting everything in life to be free! I wish they would only post free games!! ;(

I have been playing Linegae II. Once I finally got it downloaded the servers were so full that I couldn\'t join any of the three. Thankfully they added two new servers and three more are on the way. It is actually a pretty fun game. It something to pass the time until the next release.

I\'m in the Closed Beta at the moment, and it\'s an awesome game. :) My favourite activity is just travelling out into a wide open plain, finding a herd of peaceful herbivores, and just being there with them... sometimes they approach me and sniff around to make sure I won\'t harm them. :)
-
Still awaiting the serial key. I read something that said they will not be handing many more out until they have orgainzed the mass amount of users already stockpiled.

OMFG, the Shadowfax man posteth. No. 27. 8)
Now, that\'s the kind of info I wanted to hear. Thanks. I\'m going to dl one of these games, keeping a tally of what players are saying here. What you said is something to be considered carefully before investing time in downloading, learning, troubleshooting, etc.
(You joined a guild? Weren\'t you gonna make your own? Oh wait, you might have that other secret guild in Planeshift...shhhh!)
-
Well I downloaded it, just need them to give me a key now.
PS. Max- He\'s a member of the Calen Vakhar.
-
Aye, laddy, but how can ye be sure?? :evil:
Ok, Aendar is another guy waiting on a serial number.
Can you say hack \'n\' slash, Aendar? (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/icons/axe.gif)
Before long I\'m just gonna dl this thing and hope we all don\'t have to wait very long. It would rock if we could all play together, if ppl wouldn\'t mind blowing off the RP aspect by talking about it.
Off topic: who has the guts to sign up for CB without revealing who he/she is later? Most people won\'t do that, unfortunately.
-
Hack and slash is something I do in my free-time. It\'s simply a time-killer.
It would be cool if we could all get in and join up in-game.
Besides....those dark-elves look too cool to not try out the game...

I for one, could not.
Perhaps you should ask some spy-alt\'ers. :P
-
only \"good\" hack n\' slash I\'ve played since diablo is Sacred.. and imo it is far superior to the latter..
-
I\'ve been playing Lineage II since the day the open beta came out. So far it\'s been a great time. I would reccomend it to anyone desparate for something to do before CB comes out.
The buy/sell options still need a little bit of tweaking, but the monster and PK options look like they are really well balanced and the quests are well designed. The additon of 2 servers has helped immensely with being able to connect.
In conclusion, I would say that Lineage II would be a good diversion untill CB releases.

Now we\'re cooking with gas! Thanks, Cyrandir.

that\'s how i imagined PS to be ...i surely hope there\'ll be something as nice as that in PS too :(

OH!!! BTW I FORGOT!!!!
If you\'re still waiting to get your keycode, you can get one through a fileplanet link in a web browser page... let me see if I can find it for you all..... AH HA! there it is!!! http://www.fileplanet.com/betas/verify.aspx?b=1952&u=
I hope that helps you guys out somewhat. I know I got my serial through file planet and then got another one over a week later directly from Lineage. Anyway, hope to see some of you all on Lineage. I\'m a Dark Elf on Seighardt server, PM if you want to party or somtething.
And you\'re welcome Maxximus :)

This link leads to a serial number generator thing but when you hit the Submit button you\'re sent to the main page of FilePlanet. I could not see where the serial number was displayed if was one. I was logged in to File Planet too but didn\'t get an email, either. How\'d you see the serial number, Cyrandir?
-
Hmmmm.... You\'re right, they\'ve changed it! I did get my serial from Fileplanet, but it looks as if that options isn\'t working anymore.... I\'m sorry guys.... :(
Oh, and Maxximus, check your PMs.

Played it for a few days, got to level 10.
The grinding in that game is the worst ever, all categories.
Maybe it get\'s better at higher levels, but I don\'t intend to level for hours on end to find out ;)
-
Well if they ever send that key I\'ll be able to find out for myself :p
Besides I\'m sure playing with friends would make it more fun.

Most likely it will :)
I played an elf, and my only friend that wanted to try it out played as an orc..
Oh well, if you\'re gonna play as an elf, let me know and I\'ll give you my old gear, if you play on Bartz that is.
-
This game is fun, But I definatly don\'t recommend playing in a party until your at least lvl 15 and that might even be to small... At a low level you get absolutely no exp and barely any sp. It is a fun game to just pass the time, and the graphics are pretty amazing. The only other problem I have with it is all the friggin in store games taking up space so other people can\'t get in. I started on siegh server and the chances of getting on that at any point in the day seems to be very small...
-
Ah-hah! Figures Caldazar was a Bartz bastid. Bah!
:D Actually, I have no clue yet what the deal is on the servers. Bartz - what\'s that?
I joined a new server, though, and it let\'s me right in. They added some more, apparently. I haven\'t had time to do anything yet except look around...too busy with the recent \"developments\" in Planeshift. :]
Note: It turned out that I had a serial number from way back when. I just never used it. Talking to Cyrandir jogged my memory. For those waiting, don\'t give up hope yet, the Lineage II forum mods say the company is still issuing serial numbers. Whatever a forum mod says should automatically be taken as good coin, no?
Check out my \"porno\' Orc character. But, the Dark Elves are much hotter if long, pointy ears do it for you, hahaha.
Off topic: Do any of the big MMORPG\'s have a mating feature? I\'d be surprised if they did, seems like such a thing would be attacked by parents. Mass slaughtering with axes and swords is ok, though. What!!
-
Cal: Actually I was planning on playing a dark elf. The regular elves aren\'t sexy enough for me.
Hope fully the key comes soon, I\'m getting antsy.

I agree. Only problem about Sacred is playing online, it\'s hard to find a game where you can actually do the quests. But it\'s a great game.
-
oh, btw ...i mailed fileplanet, wtf happened to that key-generator for the Lineage2 open beta and they just pointed me to the beta key-generator on the Lineage2 page ...so don\'t even bother trying to get the beta key from the fileplanet page

yep, too bad it doesn\'t have an online community as large as diablo\'s.. But still, if it had one, it would be sad should it turn out like diablo\'s..

Hopefully it won\'t, Sacred might be just a little bit less brainless than D2, that might keep some of the 12-year-olds and such away. Hopefully.

What is wrong with the Diablo community? Big deal it is full of cheaters and people who just want to spam you? These people brought us the duped Sojs and map hacks, we should be thankful :D
-
pffft, the diablo community is a bunch of whining good for nothing 2-year olds with a surprising affinity for the words \"SPARE ME FREE STUFF PLZ!!\" notice the capital letters =P
in other words, should any other game ever be cursed with such a community, it\'ll be on my blacklist for sure!
-
Lol yah I can agree with that but since there is no real fun when playing I give away stuff, I heard they swiped accounts though a while back from hacks! My level 90 something zon account better have not went down :X
-
Well I got my key finally, I just can\'t connect. So I\'ll probably try again tonight.
-
Dang how the hell did I miss this one.
Been on for a while and its alright. Good graphics, nice spell effects, hot sexy women. Last night I watched a random bunch of fools try to kill a ?ti mi rhan? in the Dark Elf area. I?m on the Lionna server as Lhoran. But I was not playing much until recent. Latley I?ve been on all day (two weeks off work Boo yeh!) It took about a week to get my Serial. Oh and don?t believe all the crap that people have been spouting on game sites about it being a griever fest. It was on one server I tried but not on most of them.
Sorry Monk
