Lineage II gives us a first look at the next free update Interlude. Check out some of the details in this upcoming expansion.

Lineage® II offers the world's elite MMORPG players unrivalled player versus player combat (PvP) set against a lush backdrop of exotic creatures, rival clans, castle sieges and an ever-growing fantasy world.

Interlude is the next huge, free update for Lineage II offering the chance to take part in a game that has captured the imagination and reached over 14 million gamers worldwide. Forming a bridge between the Chaotic Chronicles and the future Chaotic Throne (scheduled for later in 2007) Interlude hints at what is to come in the challenging times ahead.

Highlight Features:

• New Zone - Primeval Isle

Pterodactyls dominate the skies and vicious dinosaurs prowl the earth in a hunting ground for top-level players.

• More weapon augmentations for incredible bonuses

With the help of a Blacksmith, players can receive even more spectacular bonuses to abilities, battle values and skills

• Shadow Weapons

Weapons can be expensive - limiting their acquisition to advanced players with enough money. Shadow Weapons look and behave like 'the real thing' but are cheap enough for new players to afford them. However, as shadows of real weapons, they will eventually wear out and disappear

• New Dueling system

PvP almost anywhere with no penalties. No need to go to an arena and for the first time - see your opponent's hit points!

• Multiple New Skills

Over 60 new high level skills are added to the game, bringing new dynamics to PvP and PvE combat.

• Multiple New Quests

Enter the mighty Siren's lair or capture a Tyrannosaurus for clan rewards - just two of the many new quests that will test the mettle of the most hardened players.
