  • Eight Things to Know Ahead of Lineage2M’s Launch

    Lineage2M is an MMORPG that balances the minute details of personalized characters and abilities with allowing players to feel like they’re a part of the larger scale moments that form a cohesive world.

    Here are nine things you need to know about Lineage2M.

    OPTIMIZED GRAPHICS FOR MOBILE AND PC

    Whether you’re on your phone, tablet, or desktop computer, Lineage2M has been optimized to run well across PC and mobile via its proprietary crossplay service PURPLE and looks great on every platform.

    SPRAWLING OVERWORLD

    Lineage2M boasts the largest seamless overworld over any crossplay game to date, meaning there are no loading screens or gameplay hitches as you cross from one threshold to another. Every region has a distinct landscape that can be explored on foot and used for players to gather and conduct warfare on any scale.

    CHARACTER CHOICES

    Create a character using a variety of races that include humans, elves, dark elves, dwarves, orcs, and more. Then select from over 31 classes to specialize in and carve out your own place in the world. Choose from the sword and shield-wielding knight, a dual-bladed warrior, raider assassin, skilled archer, healing cleric, magical wizard, and more!

    FEEL THE FRENZY

    Lineage2M is the first 3D MMORPG to implement collision detection—a sophisticated tactile system where players can experience physical immersion by sensing huge monsters stomping towards them, or by bumping into swarming enemies in combat. This feature promises extra thrills during boss takedowns.

    YOUR WORLD, YOUR WAY

    Are you an explorer or a brawler? Do you prefer to seek or destroy? Lineage2M offers an expansive world that allows you to play the way you want.

    GET LOST IN THE DETAILS

    Lineage2M sports a dizzying variety of weapons and armor—richly detailed with distinctive materials, textures, and light reflections—that you can use, collect, and treasure. In addition to the incredible intricacies of inanimate objects, the attention to detail is also evident in the highly expressive player characters, which allows players to express exactly how they feel to the world around them.

    EXPLORE EVERYWHERE

    Lineage2M is the first crossplay game that allows more than 10,000 players to gather in one location, allowing for sprawling PVP and PVE showdowns. You can meet-up, explore, go on a variety of quests, and conquer the world any time you want.

    For example, you can explore two seamless continents by foot or teleporters; confront monstrous world bosses; defeat Etis’ hordes on the ramparts of Giran Castle, or socialize with your fellow adventurers in Talking Isle Village.

    BETA BONUS

    The Closed Beta begins at 8pm ET on November 1st and continues through November 7th. Extra benefits will be given to those who complete certain missions during the Beta, and if all missions are completed, a one-of-a-kind gift awaits. A token will also be given to those who kill certain bosses during the Beta. After the game’s official launch, this token may be exchanged for rewards.
