Hey new in this game do i nid to buy the game box ? or i just need to download but if i download i dont have the account ?? any one mind to teach how ?? same like wow nid to buy the box to get the kid to register?

hey froz3noob,
Yes you need to buy the game box and a time card in order to play the game. If you are lucky u can get the trial code which they were offering at mmorpg.com.

i using streamyx in pj area got lowest 300ms ping.

so its at borderline between good and bad because normal everyday hunting you will barely feel it. once you go to castle siege u might as well lay on the floor until time pass...

you need to buy the game (box) now, they've taken off the download feature for L2. Only those like me that first bought it get the option of downloading the installer but I'd advise you to get the box. Downloading 2-3GB really sucks.

I believe best ping would be on Bartz server with 200+ms (those days) followed by Sieg then Kain 280ms - 300ms (or close to it).

oh i c lineage II can win wow ?

yes it does.but it REALLY depends what ip u r playing with.If i play with 60.x.x.x or 219.x.x.x i get very bad lag and freeze of character while xping. dont bother pvp with those IPs..
but with 218.x.x.x *touch wood* its still playable. I blame it mostly on packet losses. way too much of them, and if u ask tmnet about it.. they'll ask u to flushdns..sometimes i wonder whether they really know what they talking or just read out the manual in front of them.




yeap thats about right.lowest ping i ever got was 325ms. pretty good for small scale pvps and xping. but when go to castle sieges.. you might as well charge in, go get coffee and come back see ur character on siege ground drop dead.



anytime anyday of the week.
rule of thumb is, WoW for carebears(shit scared gonna kena wallap nicely from the WoW fans >.<" ) and lineage II is for hardcore players. There is no relaxed server in the retail version so.. there will be long , and i mean REAL long hours of grinding to gain levels. No way near as short as WoW where u can get lvl 60 in like 3 weeks or so..

Anyways, if you would like to know more details let me knw, i dont know if i am allowed to type out other forum boards specifically for this game..but if you wan to know that, pm me.

anyone knows where can purchase the time card?
how much is the time card?

pcgame.com.my sells the time cards. Thats where i buy mine. Ask for any ncsoft cards, they are usually compatible for all their games, e.g,City of Heroes time card can be used for lineage2 and vice versa. Hope this helps.

Get 60 days of pre-paid game time with the Lineage II Game Time Card. RM 115 is for 2 months time card? wat is the prepaid game time and the lineage2 time card..are there 2 cards in a box? where can i buy the starter kit then? the cd key..

prepaid game time card = 60 days of time u get to play the game. its the same as lineage 2 time card.

There was a promotional period when u could get the game for free for 15 days without paying for the account.This came with the box for promotional purposes only. After that period they dont give those out anymore. but u still have to buy the original game. It was around USD 50 when i bought it a few years ago.Try asking around pcgame.com.my. hopefully they have stock for the game cd key.

AMDG bags Lineage II

MANILA, Philippines--After almost a year of courtship, South Korean game development giant NCsoft and Philippine publisher Asian Media Development Group have closed a $5.5-M deal to distribute Lineage II not just in the Philippines, but across Southeast Asia.

The exclusive $5.5-million marketing and distribution deal with the South Korean company marks the first time that NCsoft has signed a non-subsidiary to distribute its game. It will also be the first time for AMDG to expand its operations outside the Philippines.

In an interview with hackenslash, AMDG chief operating officer Ronald Allan Aquino said that under the partnership, all NCsoft products, primarily Lineage II, would be solely distributed in the region, which will start in the Philippines, followed by Singapore and Malaysia.

"While we will distribute Lineage II in the Philippines, we'll be looking for partners who will distribute it in other countries," Aquino said.

Likewise, Aquino said they are preparing the buildup of their server facilities in the Philippines to host the local Lineage II players.

"We'll be launching the game in the next half of the year, simultaneously in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia," Aquino said.

Lineage II, including its predecessor Lineage I, is a major success among the massively online game triple-A titles that have come out of South Korea, with an estimated 14 million subscribers globally. It is currently being played in Taiwan, Japan, China, Thailand, and the United States, among others.

On the other hand, AMDG is a major distributor of PC games in the Philippines, particularly those published by Vivendi Universal.

Among the titles AMDG carries are Half-Life 1 and 2, Counter-Strike, StarCraft, Warcraft and Guild Wars, the popular online game developed by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft.

Another SEA-MMO. It seems that the online gaming market in our region is becoming closer and closer. In fact, they are already integrating the region into ONE Online Gaming Market and Industry.

Anyone familiar with the plans of the ASEAN? The ASEAN-Union? Looks like the gaming industry will go ahead the ASEAN-Union and the ASEAN-Money.

Your opinions?

What I know this is a very famous Pay to Play game... I'm not sure its a good idea when so many new games are F2P now... anyone know how is the botting issue in this game??

there's plenty of f2p games better than this game. no offense to l2 fans, i personally liked the game last time. but there's too many f2p games right now. should be better if they made it f2p itemmall style, thats much more popular mmorpg trend here in malaysia.

Botting issues... last i played the bots is still the same no changes but private servers going down very badly now.. which is a good sign.

Well, Lineage 2 is a good value P2P games.. try to name me a F2P MMO that have PROPER dungeon and instance, complex crafting and deep class promotions? What you are paying in L2 is the full content and rich PvE..

Hosted in Manila? It wont serve us English speaking since filipino love talking in their language and assume that we know theirs too.. pretty racist but no choice.

Hmm... interesting reactions. And the 'Filipino' thing, didn't notice that actually, maybe because I join English speaking guilds (like POEA in Guild Wars), or I made it mandatory with my guild to speak in English.

Which games have you encountered Filipinos who only want to speak in 'Filipino'? It is really a very interesting observation and I'd like to delve deeper into it. Maybe that will explain my question as to why, despite the infiltration of online gaming in our country, there are so few Filipinos who will play in the international servers (other than the fact that credit card penetration is very low).

Yes, I'm a Filipino, but then as I've said, I'm not aware of that situation coz I always prefer joining an English-speaking and/or international guild (or start my own) than join or create a Filipino-only guild.

i can attest to that when it comes to Gunbound, Rakion, O2Jam, Audition, Granado Espada, Mu Online. It's hard to play with the Philippinos, they must launch it all at the same time and there must be only one lineage ][ south-east asia website for it to be fair, and we will play there. Otherwise, we will play on private servers or other MMOs.

Tantra Online is one of it. English speaking players is pretty little there and everytime i ask for party.. someone sure ask me " Party po " means Party plz in tagalog. When i reply in english they didnt do the same, they reply in own language. Used to happen to Brazilian players too back in year 2005 but they changed now

the closest F2P game that can match L2 is rappelz

others is just a waste of time

Interesting... tantra.
