NCsoft Europe Prepares To Launch New European Server For Lineage II: The Chaotic Throne increased demand for NCsoft's acclaimed MMORPG Lineage II celebrated with launch of additional EU server.
Thursday 6th March/... Brighton, England – NCsoft® Europe, the world’s leading publisher and developer of online games, will soon be launching a new European server for its hit massively multiplayer online PC game, Lineage® II.
Since its worldwide launch in late 2003, Lineage II has been an unparalleled success, reaching more than 17 million players worldwide and gaining a reputation as the gaming market’s premier player-versus-player (PvP) MMOG. Following the December 2007 launch of Lineage II’s latest expansion, The Kamael, which added a staggering gigabyte’s worth of new content to the game, demand for European server access is running at an all time high as new players rush to join long-time fans. By launching a new server, called Luna, alongside the existing European servers Franz and Teon, NCsoft Europe has quickly moved to ensure continued, instant access and smooth online gameplay for new and current players of Lineage II.
Lineage II is an epic, online fantasy adventure like no other. It offers a dynamic online world, drawn in exquisite detail and populated with wonderfully lush landscapes, intricately sculpted fortresses and beautifully realised characters. Players can storm massive castles, fend off majestic beasts, ride dragons into battle and conquer formidable rival clans as they aim to become part of the Kingdom of Aden’s political and social elite. With the launch of The Kamael players can enjoy an entirely new playable race, a mysterious breed of one winged soldiers with an affinity to dark magic, along with a completely enhanced new player experience that’s helped to introduce thousands of new adventurers to Lineage II’s incredible world.
“Lineage II is a remarkable game that truly encapsulates the very best that the massively multiplayer online RPG genre has to offer. With its deep, immersive gameplay and thrilling player Vs player combat the demand for server access across Europe continues to be incredible.” said Mirko Gozzo, Lineage II product manager at NCsoft Europe. “We’re delighted to be launching a brand new European server for a game that continues to go from strength to strength.”
NCsoft expects the new Lineage II server, Luna, to launch at the end of April.
The standard edition box of Lineage II: The Kamael is available now at major retailers at a recommended retail price of £14.99 / €19.99 and at the PlayNC® store (http://eu.plaync.com/eu/store/). The game includes a 15 day time card in addition to the standard 30 days play; giving players a total of 45 days play time. Monthly subscription fee to the game is £8.99 / €12.99. The game is rated 12+ by PEGI (www.pegi.info). For more information please visit www.discoverlineage2.com

UMmm Lineage has no where near 17 million players, it never has. Since they started server transfers only 3 servers dailey break 1000 players on them. They rest are nearly dead in the water. And for a few takes the 1000s of farmers couldnt log in and Least on my Old server of ERICA had less then 600 on it.
I recent letter from a GM confirmed that lineage 2s numbers have never been all that great and when I posted this to the offical forums it was quickly removed, but I did post it to L2blah.com on the erica server and most were shocked the GM actually spoke truthfully.
They are now adding another server when they have 7 servers will very low population and NO one is buuying lineage 2 anymore. There is SO few newbie players in lineage 2, infact most gamers never have even heard of it. Now how can a game with 17 million be so unknown, WOW only has around 10 million and everyone including my dogs have heard of it.
NCsoft has always lied to its customers, allowed scamming and accounts being hacked and ripped off.
But it does have the best graphics to date of any MMORPG....but thats it
and you can not ride dragons into combat only a castle owner can, but it never mentions that and only 1 person can own each castle so only one gets to fly that mighty dragon.
ANYONE who has played and still does, that there is NO new players coming . Most hate to admit it but they know who is left is about it.
I played lineage 2 from beta through C5 and called it quits I got tired of the 95% botting population. Unless you bot you really never stand a chance. L2walker for the win lol
