holiday events in HK
For the curious, there were some holiday events in Hong Kong, as reported by hklineage.com and Online Gameplayers magazine (and translated by DaFish and ElfBlue):

If you spoke with any villager NPCs before Christmas day they'll give you a Christmas stocking. After Christmas day it automatically turned into a present, based on your lawful points.
Here is the sample of the gifts (from hklineage - thanks DaFish for translating!)

For New Years, ogres invaded Giran City: the webmaster describes it as more spectacular than a siege.

Between 12/31 11:30 pm to 1/1 11:30 pm, there was a New Year Event held on Hong Kong Server. In that period of time, werewolf, goblin and gremlin dropped Mana Potion (Blue Potion) in a low probability. Each Blue potion can restore 50-70 MP.

They need to either start making the US servers and the Asian servers more uniformed or split the companies cause im a little ticked that we never get anything like this. NC could have atleast given the US servers a Tree!!!!!

HKLineage = Treat customers well, subscriber base increases.

USLineage = Treat customers 2nd rate, watch it whither away.

Mana potions have been in the game for quite some time now. You just can't get them normally. Only in events. I believe they decided against having them in permanently. Maybe figuring it wouldn't be fair.

but lineage is the most expensive online game in HK!
i cost almost 15 US dollars a month!
besides this, some features in us server are missing in hk, such as
HP bar on the pet, can't pick up item/$ drop by monster which is kill by someone else....

Why hk server Treat customers so well? becuase the subscriber base is decrease...
do u hope us server treat u well also?

You know it's really too bad that even though I can't play anymore, I still regularly that the only market that gets more than an after thought never did and never will include myself. I would wager that if some control were taken out of the hands of those powernuts we call GMs and Monitors and given to players like Amer (would have said me but that will never happen) the US server would have its player base increase ten-fold inside of a few months...the only problem would be keeping existing (long time) players from becoming bored with their omnipotence. Oh I should point out that the increase would be NEW players and not older players buying new accounts or something like that. But why would they listen to me...seem quite content to have ignored me so far. Oh well...mantra of the oppressed...Long Life Lineage...and you support buggers...quit and leave us to our FUN.

no. I've played both servers. In terms of hunting yes, US server is better....

but event and support wise, HK server is far better than US server. And chances are that the GM's in HK/TW server have played the game b4 and know how to make it fun for players. Do u think Monitors on US servers played lineage b4? I sersiously doubt it... from the amount of events, I'm doubting if they even know how to have fun.
