NCsoft and GamerZines' MMOzine launch Lineage II digital magazine trial. Free 14 day free trial available to readers and information on an exclusive in-game item in the next issue! Read on for more info!
"The life of a massively multiplayer online game dictates that the game evolve or it will not last long. Lineage II, from NCsoft, has just passed the four-year mark. Part of the celebration included the release of yet another free chronicle (read that as expansion), but in the years the MMO has been in existence, it has battled many foes, and with a great deal of success. And the game has evolved, which is crucial in and of itself."
Today was a big day for the Lineage II community! The first two of three highly anticipated account services--Character Name Change and Character Gender Change--are now available to all players who have an active Lineage II game account. And Character Server Transfers will be available in February! Check out the full announcement made by Lineage II Producer Tim "Ornery" Tan here.
Also launched today is the new Lineage II Refer-A-Friend program. This new referral program allows you to recruit friends to play Lineage II, and rewards you if they decide to stay. Check out the info page for more details!
