The full client version (1.70) of Lineage is now available on our download page at http://www.lineagethebloodpledge.com/download. This is the final client version for the release of Episode 9 (Kingdom of Eva), contains the redesigned Lineage interface, and it is fully compatible with the existing game. This game version will be included on the CDs shipped to existing Lineage customers – however, those players with high speed Internet connections may wish to download and begin enjoying this client now. Please note: the actual Episode 9 changes and expansion will not be active on servers until October 23rd.

Additionally, we will be updating the external test server with fixes and changes for Episode 9 this afternoon. Test server characters will be restored from a recent backup copy.

Important: Players who have previously accessed the North American test server will be unable to properly patch their client by connecting to test server to download the patch. These players will need to either download and install the new 1.70 client version, or patch from a fresh install of version 1.63 in order to properly update the game client. Please continue to maintain a separate copy of Lineage for connecting to the test server to avoid experiencing problems when attempting to play on the regular game servers.
