Lineage II is one great MMORPG but certain improvements have to be done.
The game takes place in the world of the two kingdoms, Aden & Elmore, a landscape teeming with evil monsters. While the game focuses on fighting monsters, PvP battles are also available. Your aim is one: to become a legendary warrior in these lands and defeat the greatest monsters plaguing these territories. You can team up with other online players to defeat these creatures, or siege enemy castles. But teamwork is not strengthened enough in the game, which is very unfortunate for an multiplayer RPG.
When creating a character, you have six different races of locals to choose from. The first one and most common are the humans, who live in an island not far away from the mainland. Another two races are the elves, who live in the forests, and their eternal enemies, the dark elves. There are also the orcs, stone warriors who live in the east, the dwarves, some little warriors who live in the arctic valleys of Aden(in the northest region), and a later addition, the Kamael, an angel-type of warriors whose place of birth is a big island north of Aden, and very far from the rest of the Lineage world.
Each of these races can have a male or female warrior, and can be either a fighter or a mystic. You can also customize from his face to his hairstyle, but it is annoying that such a game offers so limited customizations.
When you first set up your character, your main target is to kill monsters in order to gain experience and level up. Advancing improves your health and hit points. Later on, there are more quest to take on, but what makes it bad is the sens of repetitiveness which these quests have.
The scenes of battling monsters are awful. Not only they are fully automized, but little sense of realism do they have. Some other issues, like the blocking of AI when moving, or the late response from the server occur, but only in slow connections or older systems.
The graphics of the game are good, but it is not enough to impress. The environments of the game, though, are very well-designed. But the strongest part of of the game is doubtlessly its music which is amazing and prototypes over a series of RPG music themes.
Lineage 2 is an uninspired but quite good game. But conceptional mistakes led its development into a most complex designment.
