Lineage World Championship
Lineage - Korea has announced the Lineage World Championship and they've made a website for it at http://www.lineage.co.kr/lineage_lwc_home/main.asp.

Lineage World Championship is a competition to determine the best Lineage team. Each team consists of 8 players - 1 prince, 3 knights, 2 elves and 2 mages.

Teams can be on any server and teams from different servers can compete with each other.

There are three kinds of matches: Death Match, Honor Match and Quest Battle.

  • Death Match is a last man standing kind of match. The goal is to kill every single member of the opposing team.
  • Honor Match is kind of like Capture the Flag. Each team has some kind of relic that represents their team. This relic has HP and can be healed. The goal is to destroy the other team's relic. If you die in this match, you restart where you are immediately.
  • Quest Battle is a race between two teams. Each team starts in a maze. You go from room to room trying to get to the common goal. First team to the goal wins. However, to get past a room, you have to kill all the monsters in the room. If a member of your team dies in a room, your entire team is prevented from fighting for a team. Finally, if both teams reach the goal at the same time, you still can fight it out and the team that can actually leave the final room with the goal item wins.

Registration is 7/16 - 7/29. Prizes range from 1 million Won to 4 million Won for 4th through 1st place. (4 million Won is just under US$4,000).

However, there is some bad news. It looks like World is a slight misnomer. Briel (from Lineage3D.com) sent an email this morning saying: "The Hong Kong magazine PC Gamewave 2000 has posted an apology about the King of Lineage and Lineage World Championship event, they said the events is not true and NC Gamania do not have those plans yet...".

It looks like this event is to be held only in Korea as no other countries have announced this. Hopefully the first one will be Korea only and it will be such a hit that they will bring it to us. (And for those of you who are going to post about the term World being used, remember the World Series of Baseball only invites American and Canadian teams, even though many other countries play baseball, so it's not unprecedented to misuse World).

Finally, Nue of Nue's Lineage brings us some screenshots of the battle selection interface where you buy supplies and choose your battles and the arenas:

WOW!! This looks AMAZING!

Dying? How many users are in Korea? How many servers?


Might be dying in the US, or maybe just not growing, but it it not dying in Korea, where it counts. L2 will be a game more suited to the US it seems. This seems to be a very very fun event!

WIN REAL MONEY!! O.O I WANT MONEY! IT PAYS TO BE STRONG!
And if it comes to US it would be cool to have Server Vs Server battle! That would be fun! NC makes a GIANT capture the flag map for the server. All out war!

I think that if this comes to the us, it would settle alot of fuss about which server is better... i dont mean to bring up this discussion again, but ppl who play dep think that dep would own ken, and ppl who play ken think that ken would own dep. its pretty one sided now with all the dks on dep, but ken has quite a fair chance, me playing on both servers for a more than suitable amount of time each (dep = since it came out ken= about 1 1/2 years since its release). it all just depends on who gets involved and who doesnt...

almost 2 weeks no Lineage thank you!
Most of u guys are shallow and easy to please you complain of this and that bugs etc etc yet when NC shows you some stuff like this to deviate your attention from what they really should take care off, you forget about the whining and the way their product is lacking attention, details and support I really dont get it let me just give an example patch came in ridding of Double Pump you all WHiNED WHINED AND WHINE what did NCAustin did? gave you a dumb Gnoll Event, was it effective to shut you all up "yeah somewhat" after the event went away you guys whined away >.< oh well go ahead Flame me you know Im right whenever NCAustin screw up something and we get upset you all know that they try to cover it up long enough for us to forget about it think about it they ruined it now, I hope their concience eat them and they cant sleep about it. FLAME ON!
