world of Lineage II

Considering that the world of Lineage II came out a long time ago when MMORPGS were still young or nonexistent, it’s a really great thing. In the beginning, the PvE was pretty fun with a more mature community since it was a p2p game. During beta, this game was probably one of the best but it started getting annoying with the introduction of farmers.

I don't know why people are bringing this game down by rating it lowly just because of bots. When I played from beta to out Chronicle 4, it was extremely fun to party up and go kill bots. The castle system was something new and actually was really bugged in the beginning of the game, but it was new to all MMOs and now is really fun to play. But I don't play anymore. The grind is annoying even if you party, but once you hit the max level which should take about 5 months of crazy grinding the PvP/PvE is extremely fun for Partying to kill raid bosses dragons.

The world of Lineage II is a war-torn land spanning two continents, where trust and betrayal clash as three kingdoms vie for power. The young king Raoul has successfully quenched a civil war and established the newest kingdom, Aden. Elmore, the military superpower located in the northern part of the continent, boasts that it is a direct descendent of ancient Elmoreden kingdom. Gracia, located across the ocean on the west, is currently embroiled in a chaotic battle among blood relatives trying to take over the throne.

These kingdoms share a delicate balance of power; however, within each kingdom they are vulnerable to internal strife, as each manor has strong desire for self-rule.

The only thing I like about this game is that you can create your own clan and soon rule a kingdom. You can siege Castles with a whole army or protect the castle with your life with the fate of the kingdom laid on your shoulders. This is a very interesting and captivating concept.

The Story is spectacular. The graphics were ahead of it's time. Overall, if you have a lot of friends to play with and you don't really like WoW, then play this game is a good choice.
