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:
