4/17 - US Publish Announcement
The US Lineage servers will be brought down for an unscheduled maintenance period at 10:00 AM CDT on Thursday, April 17th. The servers are expected to remain unavailable for approximately one hour while we publish the content changes listed below.

Please note: Failure to patch this client properly will result in an inability to connect to any US Lineage server. Because of this, we urge that if you have in any way modified your game client (by using the same client to connect to Test and Live servers, connecting to non-US servers, manually modifying any configuration files, shortcuts, etc) you completely uninstall and reinstall the Lineage client as soon as possible in order to avoid service interruption when the new client is released. You may find instructions for install/reinstall in our Support Knowledge Base and the current version of the US Lineage client on our Download page.

All US Lineage Servers

  • The level 45+ quests for Mages, Elves, and Knight have been released
  • Added housing to the Aden slum area
  • Volume control for sound has been added. Instead of an on/off toggle, volume may now be adjusted using values from 0-100. 0 will turn off sound.
  • Sounds may fade in and out based on their distance
  • Item window will now reflect items repaired by blacksmiths immediately
  • Nightmares may no longer be resurrected and will now see through morph
  • Cimaeras will now see through morph
  • Lindvior has been temporarily disabled.
  • Fixed an issue with Aden guards spawning inside houses.
  • Fixed delay issue with the Elven spell Body to Mind
  • Apples will now display properly when dropped on the ground.
  • Fixed a problem where players escaping to certain houses in Aden would ‘land’ in the wrong place.
  • Mages will now start with the Energy Bolt spell learned.
  • Drop rates for the mage quest item skeleton skull have been increased.
  • Magus, a merchant in the Aden slums, has been updated in the items he offers.
  • Giants may now, in a fit of rage, throw stones when their hit points fall too low.
  • Specific quest items may no longer be destroyed.
  • Blood Pledge creation has been changed. A prince/princess must now speak to a "Blood Pledge Administrator" to create a pledge. A fee of 30,000 adena is required. The Blood Pledge Administrators are located in various towns.
  • Dark Elves are no longer tamable.
  • Many cliff areas in Forgotten Island can no longer be fired across with ranged weapons or spells.
  • Call Pledge will not summon from “no escape” areas (such as Forgotten Island)
  • Gelantinous Cube’s attack range and power has been reduced slightly.
  • The formula for experience gain has been adjusted for low levels to provide a smoother progression. This affects levels one through six.
  • Auction boards will display house locations with blinking red lights.
  • Castle income has been adjusted to ensure all castles are paying proper tribute to Aden Castle
  • Elven Forest Guardians will instantly teleport away when they run out of raw materials

Marriage System

The marriage system has been enabled. This system allows players to officially marry within the Aden world. ‘Married’ players will be alerted when their spouse logs into the game, and may use their wedding rings for a limited amount of teleportation to the location of their spouse.

To marry, a couple must purchase wedding rings from the NPC Roan, travel to the cathedral in Aden, and stand in front of the goddess Agata. One player must type /propose and the other will be prompted to accept. Once accepted, the couple are married and may double-click their wedding ring to be teleported to the location of their spouse.

There will be locations that will not be available for marriage teleportation (Castles, siege zones, dungeons, and on applicable servers, the hell area)

Wedding rings have a limited amount of charges depending on the ring type. They may be recharged by paying the goddess Ariel 1,000 adena.

Lands of Aden Server Only

  • Healing Potion prices adjusted.
  • Healing Potion are now more effective.
  • Ellan, the Kennel Master, has been moved closer to Heine’s town center.
  • The Mage Quest is slightly different. You should provide the Mysterious Rock with an Ancient Magic Crystal. This can be obtained in certain higher level hunting areas or by talking to Orim if you are the appropriate level.
  • Strength spell now lasts 10 minutes.
  • Wafer effect now lasts 10 minutes.

30k not fair? That is not that hard of an amount of cash to come up with even if you are a newbie prince/ess. You can even have future members who you wish to join your soon-to-be pledge help aid you in the cost. This is a great idea to put in, so we can stop all those annoying and lame tactics of creating a one person pledge to steal a castle, disbanding and creating multiple new pledge names to make it harder to declare war during a siege, and cut down on those who are not serious about making a pledge to begin with.

Bandits can be found by walking due West from Gypsy Town towards Giran or viceversa. They are tough in a crowd though. Some of them walk faster than others. I have had luck running and letting them separate themselves, then pick them off one or two at a time. :>

At least one of the bandits in the group was as fast as my newbie knight on haste/brave that I made on test server. Maybe he used a haste pot, but it was very annoying when I was exploring aden for anything new w/ a level 6 knight, heh.

30k for a bp? heck, when i first started lineage, my first character was a prince, and i never even saw 10k.. meh, but that was probably because all i did was buy sosc, war, and fight in town gates. Still, 30k is a tad much. ^^ soon as i get paid, im goin to loa and leavin dep. Dep is evil now. For every good thing LoA gets, Dep/Ken get a bad thing.

Too bad all the LOA updates are so half assed. Whenever they move a dog kennel NPC, they always end up standing in the middle of town with no kennel near them. Then there's a kennel in back somewhere with no NPCs near it. Not to mention all those "great" LOA items that share appearances with other items on the server. I wouldn't want to play on LoA, because they don't actually have control over "everything".

If they want to stop meaningless Pledges, they'll need to reaise the cost much higher than 30k. They might as well change it so you need to be level 30+ to create a Pledge anyways.

Prince Drathen, "half-ass" my ass! their updates are great. The kennel guy in Heine doe Not have a kennel behind him, so they can just move him without worrying about leaving an empty kennel as you say.

Increase mage lv 15 quest itmes nail and tooth they r very rare...some elves were seling ghoul tooth for 30k in gludio...rude,i wonder did they hunt for that tooh as purpouse or was it acsident,if it was planed then it is unfair that they take ghouls out of mage hands and sell those qest items thit price of zel!to lv 15 mages...

The best way to get ghoul's nail and tooth is to hunt them with another class: elf, knight, prince(ss) with dogs. I always get a bunch of nails and tooth after each hunt (1 hour) with my elf using dogs. My lvl 5 mage already has both the nail and tooth all thanks to my elf and the dogs. Make sure you do
not collect from the dogs after the hunt, instead restart so the stuff drops
on the ground, since nail and tooth cannot be drop or traded by a player.
NC wants to make sure no mage can get their quests done so they only drop
the nail and tooth to other classes but mage. Now for the skull, you have to
kill 3,082,001 skeletons to get one freakin skull... so dont bother playing
a mage. NC SUCK!!!
I dont think I'll ever renew my acc, though LOA looks pretty tempting.

str spell is 10 mins now because knights can't caste on themselfs

waffers are 10 mins cause with the large # of elfs waffers are rare

oranage prices are lowered cause we havn't been around for over 1 year let alone 6 months so we don't have the saved $$$ to afford them since all of us started out from sctach and didn't have the ablitiy to buy a +8 +9 weapon on the first day we started or first month -.-

Orange healing powers increased cause we cant use clears cause of the delay 4 oranges for 1 clear -.- and Condenced clears are even longer

ever seiged with reds and oranges with the same delay as ken and dep has when you get like 5 elfs with +7-8 yumis and a lvl 40+ mage on you at the same time
-.-

LoA Owns dep, by the time Dep was this old i doubt there were lvl 48 charecters, not to even mention lvl 50s and lvl 52s. So Dep sux, give us another year and we will get more 52s than both ken and dep put together.



BTW, Mage Quest doesnt work, the dopple gangers dont drop the liquid stuff.
