March 18, 2003 06:07 pm ET - research by Lineage - US
3/19 - US Servers publish
The US Lineage servers will be brought down for a brief maintenance and publish on Wednesday, March 19th at 10:00 AM CST. The contents of this publish will include the following:

Lands of Aden Server

  • Mithril cap material changed form iron to mithril
  • Lump of metal now has a different inventory icon than lump of iron
  • Orcish bow will be changed to have negative hit and positive damage bonuses
  • Bael Zaer now has a small light radius
  • The KillGlance NPC has been added to Aden. He will craft the KillGlance ring in exchange for a ring of magic resistance and one of each highest quality gemstone.
  • A Teleport to Orc Town scroll has been added to some monster drops
  • The Mermaid Princess will now craft the mage-only Mermaid Set
  • Orcish Ring Mail set now has a maximum level restriction of 20 and will give the wearer the Orc Fighter polymorph option. (This is a ‘trial run’ item and is subject to change.)
  • Magic crystals have been added to some monster drops. These are one-time-use spell items.

Test Server

  • As part of testing to resolve the NPC lag issue, the test server has been running on temporary hardware. During the maintenance period we will be wiping the test server and restoring it to the original hardware configuration. This wipe of character data will occur ONLY on test US Test Server and will erase all characters that exist on the server.

Ken Rauhel and Depardieu Servers:

  • There will be no new content published to these servers

Nice, im happy they WIPE test, all of the test guys only came to dep to say: Test Rocks, ur server sux, i personally think is for ppl who dont have time to play or who is a poor NooB on live servers and need the feeling of have good things in other servers, either way if they sux, they would keep ***** in test, just think like this, wow they have a +8tsu on test while theres ppl with +10tsu, its just the same but with wipe and easier to kill mops, they just dont get it HAAHHA, well, i hope they keep WIPING test all the times they need to fix things and dont feel sry about those ppl, they dont count haha its an imaginary server.

PD: If test ppl wouldnt be the way they r i wouldnt think like this, but they keep coming to Live Server when event r on, just to get our items while they only ply test and to say things like: LIVE servers SUX. Man im so happy they wipe it hahahah.

Jesus, every comment is about test wipe -.-

What about the requirements for that KillGlance ring, TQD, TQR, TQS, TQE, Ring of Magic Resistance. Now how is it even WORTH IT when you figure the ring can give BAD effects also -.-

And how were people getting the ring before this anyways -.-

I have played all servers. Currently I play mostly LoA and a little Ken, but I always take part in the post-wipe madness on Test for the fun scramble. Speed levelling to 20 or 30 on Test is a lot of fun, given the drops, but I treat it as a diversion from live servers. Having some characters on Test is nice because you get to see anything new first before it hits live servers, except for the LoA specific things that I see anyway. These new LoA items are nice, I have a low-level knight I can try the orc set on. The KillGlance Ring is now craftable, but look at the cost!

actually, it dosent "suck" for test to wipe. because now all the people who started later can have a chance at being higher lvl. test is fun and theres no point in whining about it wiping. how many people do u know (on live servers)who would use a n-dai on +9 tsu to try to get +10? and if u do, ur a physco o.o
but it dosent matter on test because u can get it back~! i know some1 who made 2 +9 kats using n-dais only last wipe. and he made +8 i-boots. test is fun. u lose something, get some money and buy it back

I got lvl 40 last weekend but the wipe doesnt bug me. The test server is for fun. I used to have fun playing the other servers but when it takes so long to remake an item if yours blows or you die and drop it, it gets boring quick. i also have an idea about what the Red Knight Shield does but dunno if im willing to give up that information yet :P

KGR price: Way too high. If it's going to waste a TQD AND a MR ring, it better NEVER have bad effects.... I'd MUCH rather use TQD for TSU or EPM than waste it on a ring that will spend 3 weeks at a time in storage if it doesnt help me.

Test Wipe: Its funny how many people enjoy shoving this wipe in the face of people who play there.... remember, if they werent there helping to test stuff, it would take that much longer for updates to move to the live servers. How do you think they got the 45 prince quest working so fast? Test! I appreciate the people who waste.. uh... I mean .. spend, their time on test. :)

LOA Question: Anyone heard anything more about when we get the gem upgrades for the Mithril set?

General Question: Is there any central list of facts/tips about the Alliance stuff? It seems like info is scattered all through the message boards and update information. (Also, Amer, on the Quest Guides page, it still says "Coming soon in EP 12")

Thank God I decided to quit test and play on Dep.
And why would anyone feel sorry for those 45+?
They have too much time in their life to do it the first
time, so they can do it again.

Now I kinda regret quitting LoA, seems like new items
are popping up everyday. But it still suck cuz no global :P

Ummmm....no one is complaining about test wipe.

All the people who play live servers go 'AHAHA TEST WIPES YOU CRYBABIES!!' and the test people go 'oh well i guess i'll play test some more'.

My point is..it takes so little time on test to do what the live server people have played years for. Ken and dep people are just jealous.

Anyways I don't play lineage anymore. TEST RULES!!!

i havent heaard more than 4 people her complain about test wipe. i play test and i enjoy wipes, gives me chance to catch up to all those players better than me. also, i think that live servers require alot more time to play than i have available, so i think test is fun, in fact more fun than live servers:
amazing drops, easy leveling, friendly people, and back to the drops, i get more than 300 adena from an undead elmore soldier >.<

We're jealous? Riiiight.. considering test isnt even a real server so having nice items on there is pretty pointless since they're just going to get wiped and it's so easy to get them... but whatever lmao. And when I said I felt sorry for ppl 45+ already on test I meant that they're losers with no lives and I feel sorry for having such terrible lives, just clearing that up :)

Nice items on test take a few days to get...they wipe, takes a few days, its a cycle. Many people on real servers don't see these items for long time. And it is so much easier to level and get stuff on test, doesn't take much time at all. And, lineage in general makes you have no life...people who say they play lineage for 15 hours a day and 'have lives' are mistaken. (As for being 'pointless', ITS ALL IN FUN!! Can you use ANYTHING you have EVER gotten in lineage, in real life? Hows that for pointless?)

Odd, that everyone is saying "Test wipe! woohoo! take that test!!". Why do people on live servers CARE if test gets wiped? Jealous of test? Muh. Then you throw it in the players' faces as if they care. Think for a second: If someone plays test, then LOGICALLY (can everyone here say logically?) they would be used to the wipe and be EXCITED to start anew. Lol, think people --;
