PC.IGN joins the trek to NC Soft's servers for 'Lineage 2' and has posted a preview from their their beta time:Orcs, elves, dark elves, and humans are at war again. These races never can really seem to get along. Humans betray the other races, dark elves slip into black magic and leave the light elves behind, orcs just like beating on things, and dwarves are always stuck in the middle, fighting a ton of unhappy races when all they want to do is craft some goods. Yes, we've heard this all before in various forms. Well the next form is called Lineage II. You've probably heard of it if you're into MMORPGs at all, maybe even if you're not. While the first Lineage game wasn't extraordinarily popular in North America, it kicked all kinds of ass in Korea and just happened to be the most successful MMO in the world because of it. Lineage II is well into beta so we decided to jump in for a bit and figure out what the hullabaloo was about. |
