NCsoft is happy to announce the next thrilling update to Lineage II, entitled Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood. This latest chapter in the Lineage II saga is not only free to subscribers, but it features many new system changes designed to ease newcomers' first steps into the world's premier MMO for PvP action…while continuing to challenge the Lineage II elite players with new quests, boss monsters and an increased level cap to aspire to. Lineage II Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood features new regions to explore, with new castles and clan halls up for grabs. Players can fight for control of Schuttgart Castle and the terrifying Rune Castle, unique among all other castles in the world of Lineage II, where the formidable monster, Benom, resides in its dark depths. Chronicle 5 continues the tradition of adding tons of new content, but also includes concentrated enhancements to existing features unlike any Chronicle before. Armed with feedback from our Lineage® II community, Studio E&G has improved multiple systems to appeal to new players and enrich the experience of veterans. Chronicle 5 will launch on September 6th and will be free to subscribers. Lineage II 60-day game time cards with the full client (Chronicles 1-4) are currently available in stores at an estimated price of $29.99, or you can purchase them directly at https://store.PlayNC.com (The client will automatically download Chronicle 5 upon launch.) For more information about Lineage II, please go to http://www.lineage2.com/ A summary of all features of Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood can be found below.
Key Features A Better Experience for Solo Hunters and New Players Prior to Chronicle 5, the life of a new player or solo hunter in the world of Aden could be an unforgiving and frustrating experience. New items and changes for solo players and low level characters offer a more enjoyable experience without sacrificing the renowned challenge of Lineage® II. Revitalized Player vs. Player Combat Lineage® II features unequaled PvP combat and the challenge is as fierce as ever. In Chronicle 5, class balance is the focus. Every class can now win through skilled manipulation of its own strengths and the enemy’s weaknesses. Enhanced Clan System Clans can now have more members through the addition of the Royal Guard and the Order of Knights. Also, through the creation of their own Academy, clans can bring new players into the clan and rapidly train them (advance them in level). Also added are new clan-based skills that aid each clan member, new clan halls, and a variety of other social benefits. New Castles and Territories Several new adventuring areas are introduced in Chronicle 5, including the castles of Rune and Schuttgart. These massive fortresses present fresh challenges for experienced siege planners. New creatures populate these unconquered territories, including Frintezza – an immortal being of immense power, offering an entirely new style of battle to seasoned veterans. Increased Level Cap Players can now advance to level 80, giving the elite players of Lineage® II a challenge unlike any other MMORPG. Many Additional Features Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood is packed with hundreds of new items, creatures, quests, mini games and improvements. Players can expect refinements to many aspects of the game including the user interface, fishing, and the Hero and Olympiad systems. |
