A classic entry in the MMO genre, Lineage is a sprite-based game that is still incredibly popular worldwide. Play as one of five classes in a world that reflects classic RPG gameplay --leveling, monster slaying, attribute raising, and even character alignment. Capture and control a castle to collect benefits allotted via ownership, but protect it. While the PvE content is still surprisingly rich, the highlight of Lineage is in its developed PvP. There are individual conflicts and large scale battles between clans (Bloodpledges) as well as castle sieges for supremacy. A full 3-D sequel, Lineage II, followed in North America in 2004.
