June 03, 2003 05:16 pm ET - research by Lineage - US
6/4 - US Server Publish
The US Lineage servers will be brought down for a brief maintenance and publish on Wednesday, June 4th at 10:00 AM CDT. The contents of this publish will include the following:

All servers:

  • Improvements have been made to eliminate NPC “lag”. Dogs/Summons/Tames should keep up with their masters. Please note, however, that monsters will also move at their intended speed – which may, in some cases, be a significant increase over current speeds. Please exercise caution while exploring familiar game areas.
  • Fixed typos with some NPC conversation pages.
  • Fixed a bug with doors not being opened correctly.
  • Maids at certain houses have been relocated.
  • Forgotten Island "low walls" have been changed to "high walls" and can no longer be fired over (ranged/bow weapons or magic spells).
  • Many teleporter NPCs will now provide teleportation service to Aden town.
  • The interiors of Talking Island and Silver Knight Town coliseums are now Safety Zones.
  • If the item transaction window is cancelled by the other person you're trading with, your trade window will disappear.
  • Added new class-related info to the character creation screens; the new class is not available for creation at this time.
  • Added /duel command. To use this command, face the character you wish to duel and type /duel. If accepted, you may duel with no item drop, no chaotic penalty, and no increase to PK count; however, if you die in a duel, you will lose experience. You will not have to hold down the Control key to attack your dueling opponent. If a dueler teleports away, they lose the duel. Duels may be initiated in Safety Zones, but not fought in Safety Zones.
  • Re-enabled the /music command. (“/music on” to turn on music, “/music off” to mute, or “/music” to open adjustment slider.)
  • The /mail command will toggle incoming mail. (“/mail on” to receive, “/mail off” to block; you can also toggle this option on/off using the Game Options menu.)

Lands of Aden server:

  • Magical weapons are now available; these include the Orcish Bume Smache (Knight only) and Thor’s Hammer (all classes); these weapons will have a random chance of doing a “direct damage” magical attack similar in appearance, but not in functionality, to existing spells.
  • Silver Serpent Scales are now available as a rare drop; these can be used to craft the Silver Serpent Amulet with the assistance of the NPC Buakheu.
  • Elemental Resistance has been added to the Green, White, and Blue Dragon Armors in accordance with the existing resistance attributed to the Red Dragon Armor.

if u lag for a few seconds

u won't stand a chance surviving

I don't really care so much about regular mops being faster, but what does scare me is the thought of bosses like phoenix getting a perma-haste effect. Phoenix on haste isn't cool...

They are talking about movement speed not attack speed. So all mops will now move at their intended speed which is still dangerous because it means you can't outrun certain mops.

They will have a small percentage chance probably 2-5% to cast a spell that will look like a mage's spell seeing as they can't really get new graphics unless they receive them from the Korean servers. The direct damage is just that, it will inflict the damage directly to that mob or mobs depending if it's an AoE attack. Whereas a DoT would inflict the damage over a set period of time. Direct damage means, that once the weapon "procs" the special ability, the damage is inflicted. So yeah it could be a d6, d12, whatever type roll.

It's a good idea to learn your EQ terms as well. ^^

New class soon ... YEAH

No more room for a new char ... boooooooo !!!

What do I delete to make this lvl 47 knight ? lvl 47 elf ? Or lvl 45 Prince ? If they give use 5 class, i suggest they give us 4 slots. That sounds logic to me.

Or maybe they want us to create our new class char on a server where we don't have all high lvl char ... hehe LoA gonna be full of them.

if the increase the mop (even walking) speed.. whats the point then of ranged attacks? you will have to melee more often than not! This could well be the ultimate nerf for dex elves >.<
On a diffrent note, it would be interesting to know when exactly the "intended" speed was intended by NC.

Hopefully the updated speed does not further affect DV Skel Axemen. They're fast enough already, and running faster than a knight on brave if hasted would be a bit too much.

I thought bow was too cheap. Even con elves use bows until level 48.

Added /duel command....no item drop, no chaotic penalty, and no increase to PK count; however, if you die in a duel, you will lose experience....

Can someone test this for me? (i dont play Lineage right now so i cant):
1. Make sure you are pk (and use one of you chars that u dont care about) :)
2. Duel with someone BUT get killed by someone else
3. Open your inv window
4. Check if you lost your xxxx
5. If you didnt do step 2 to 4 five times. Go to step 6 after five times.. if you did drop your xxx go step 7.
6. So, you didnt drop any items after 5 times, then this is a nice bug, Think about how you can use this in sieges :) (but report this bug to NC..)
7. If you did lose an item then NC is not that stupid :)

Thanks, please let me know the results.

#39 - that won't work. :)

Duel rules only apply to the two players involved in a duel. If anyone else kills either player involved in the duel, it works as normal PvP with normal droppage.

for the LoA lamers who try to make their server sound "better", and yet are too newb to even know where Buakheu is, he's the underwater NPC that sells potions. half a screen down and to the right. (this is mainly for ppl above like haleft).
