Jordan Deam of the WarCry Network recently sat in with North American & European Lineage II Producer Tim Tan for a candid chat about the upcoming Lineage II update The 1st Throne - The Kamael: Hellbound™.
WarCry: What is a hardcore L2 player likely to be most looking forward to out of Hellbound?
Tim Tan: I would definitely say the challenge of the new aspects of Hellbound -not the update name, but the actual zones - actually getting into the Steel Citadel, and fighting Darien who's essentially Beleth's bodyguard, and actually encountering Beleth. That chain of progression is going to be the end all, be all of the PvE aspect of the game. So I think the most hardcore are going to be interested in doing that to get to the highest-end items in the game.

The server transfers to Teon and Franz this week have been so popular that the activity has put both servers near their maximum player capacity. We regret to announce that we will be suspending both of these servers as available transfer locations for the time being. All server transfers that were queued to Teon and Franz prior to 5:30 PM Central Time on February 19, 2008 will go through. Purchased server transfers that had not yet been queued will not be able to be queued until the Teon and Franz servers are available again. Please keep in mind that this does not necessarily mean that Teon and Franz will be forever closed off to transfers. This also doesn’t affect the gender change, name change, and character server transfer services on and to the rest of our servers.
It is very important to us that the current Teon and Franz communities have the best possible experience. We also understand the need and desire for our European players to be able to play on a European server. We will be closely monitoring the server performance on Teon and Franz to evaluate whether they can handle more players and how soon we can reactivate the transfers to them again.
We also have some exciting news to announce! Last week, we mentioned that we were currently discussing the possibilities of a new European server. The players on Teon and Franz and the rest of our European player community made it very clear to us that there is a great need for a new European server. We listened to you feedback, and have made that a priority. We're very happy to announce that this decision has been finalized, and the new European server will be coming this year! We will continue to strive for the best experience possible for our Lineage II community.
Please stay tuned for more details, and thank you all for you patience as we grow and evolve with the recent and future changes.
