Sad. Was my first MMO ever. Started beta back in 1999. Lot's of good memories of what was a damn good game.
Too bad they're just killing it off instead of going F2P.

they can get a good return on investment if they would update their darn games for once, but instead they release half complete, half broken pieces of shit that could have been awesome, like tabula rasa and auto assault for example. anyway im going offtopic here since its about lineage which had its time. i was just pissed to see yet another game got shut down by ncfail so that gave me reason to bash them some more lol.Quote:

Also if you read what Cinderboy posted, it clearly states that no new accounts can be created. It will be only f2p til they shut down the server for the people that already have accounts for this game.
Ultima Online is still strong, wonder how long that has now.
I mean Lineage 1 and UO... were like... there.
R.I.P Lineage 1.
Lineage 1 is the grand-father of all current MMORPG's. Never again will a game have a PK/PvP System and Boss/Item or Leveling system as lineage had.
Only game where you could PK someone and get an item that nobody in the world has and you could sell for $5000.
Its one of the only hardcore MMORPGS that was still around, it wasnt meant for carebears.
Hell there used to be a time when at lvl 49 you would get 1% EXP per 1-2hours if you grinded non stop, and if you died? Well you lost 5 or 10%.
Was an amazing game! One of the best sellers in the world and still going strong in Korea, which proves that Gameplay > Graphics and Fancy Signs.
One of the games where killing bosses actually meant either camping for a week to get a time or controlling boss whenever it spawned.
This game still has bosses that have never been killed even by the whole server.
All games these days are made for cry babies who complain about everything and all items are the same.
This is some bad bad news, luckily theres a great private server out there run by a good guy (Zajako) who did alot of mods to it, hopefully NcSoft lets him run his server officially with their blessing.
Jake Song is a legend and creater of the best game (imo) that has ever been made. Too bad Lineage 3 source code was stolen by the makers of TERA.
Will we ever see such a game where it actually takes patience/hard work/time to achieve something? Where a +9 item is a one of a kind and priceless? Where you can PK someone out of your Cloak of Invisibility and if he is chaotic he can drop his items? How about the weekly Castle Sieges with 50v50 non stop action with half the people dropping their stuff/going broke.
The downfall of Lineage was opening LOA and Carebearing it up by slowly putting in carebear rules such as lower XP death, cant drop items, etc etc.
One of only games with no level cap and even in korea nobody even close to reaching it since it will take like 50 years of grinding 24/7.
RIP Lineage!
