A brand new Lineage II event, Trick or Transmutation, is coming on Friday, October 26th! Players must find keys to unlock mysterious Alchemists chests. What will you find in the chests, you ask? Well that’s the surprise, but we will tell you that you’ll have the opportunity to get some rare and valuable rewards, that have never appeared in Lineage II, including head accessories! Check out the event page for details!

The wait is almost over! On October 19th, we launched the North American Chaotic Throne 1 preview site, and the Public Test Server is soon to follow in the first week of November! The preview site highlights some of the Chaotic Throne 1 update’s most highly anticipated features: the all new race the Kamael, Fortress Battles, and all new lands! If you haven’t had a chance to check out the preview site yet, click on the link below. When the Chaotic Throne 1 Public Test Server opens, North American players will have their first opportunity to try out these features and more for themselves. The Public Test Server will also be set up for progressive leveling so players can experience as much as possible while it’s open. Are you ready?!

Meet Clan HammerStrike, Lionna's spunky Dwarf-only clan. In October, Clan HammerStrike made Dwarven history by claiming Giran castle! When the next siege period rolled around, they fought valiantly to keep the castle, but were bested by another clan. Dwarves from near and far came to their aid, and some are calling the siege one of the most fun in Lineage II history! Read more about Clan HammerStrike's conquests in an interview with clan member Dolosus!

This month’s fan site spotlight features Lineage II Stratics, a site that boasts a large collection of guides (quests, ressurection, augmentations, etc.), a detailed Interlude skills list, comics, clan and influential player feature articles, and much more! LordChaos, the site editor had this to say about Lineage II Stratics: "Lineage 2 Stratics sets itself apart by focusing on content and the players at large. From an advanced quest database to skill lists with advanced features to guides and tools, our goal is to be a one-stop site where players can always go to learn about the game, quests, and content." A big thanks to the folks at Lineage II Stratics for contributing so much to the Lineage II Community through the years!
