The Dread Pirate Zaken has unleashed a frightful curse upon all those who stole from him, and his young granddaughter, Bonny, is trying to set things right. On August 7th, players will be able to participate in an all-new event called Zaken’s Curse! Lift the curse from the unfortunate thieves-turned-swine, and gather Zaken’s pilfered booty for rewards. The top Golden Apiga collectors on each server will be awarded a rare hat!

NCsoft® will have a large presence at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), and that includes your Lineage II team! Come on out and say hello to Ornery, Omega, and Alyra at PAX 2007 in Seattle, WA between August 24th and 26th. Those who visit the NCsoft booth at Comic Con, Gen Con, or PAX will receive a convention-exclusive in-game item. We look forward to meeting those who plan to attend!

Call to Arms is returning! This hallmarks the reopening of a new batch of inactive accounts that were previously activated with a paid serial code, and are in good standing. Trial accounts and banned accounts are not eligible. These accounts will remain open for one week, so come see what you've been missing! If you plan to return, we encourage you to log into your PlayNC master account before the promotion goes active. Logging in early will ensure that you are aware of your current login information, and will have time to retrieve or reset it, should you need to, before the event begins—don't miss out on any of the reactivation time!

Lineage 2 Marketplace has quickly proven itself as the go-to place for Lineage II players in-the-know to hawk their wares and find that elusive must-have item. Fierybint, Lineage 2 Marketplace’s founder, says “My aim for the forum is to offer a friendly and convenient place for players to list their ‘in game trades’ and where all trades have their own server section specific to WTB, WTS and crafting. A clan section is also available to help clans promote themselves within the community. An informal area is also available for player questions and discussion.” The forum is designed to compliment the official boards and takes its general theme from the official boards so people feel at home. Stop on by, say hello, and see what’s on the market today!
