Gaming News - February 2003
Austin, TX (February 19, 2003) - NCsoft launched the latest chapter to
its massively multiplayer game, Lineage, in North America today.
From NCsoft:
Episode XII: Aden represents the final segment in Part I of the ongoing
Lineage saga. Lineage first launched in 1998 and has grown to more than
three-million active subscribers worldwide.
In Episode XII, players can explore the city of Aden and its surrounding
lands that include the Twilight Mountains, where giants run amok, the Tower of
Insolence, a mysterious place where only the best adventurers survive, or the
Scar of Lindvior, a crater made when Lindvior the wind dragon crashed to the
earth. In the center of town lies the Great Castle of Aden, which offers
enormous rewards to the players who conquer its walls. Siege and triumph over
Aden, and you'll become the ultimate ruler of all the land and wield influence
over Lineage's other six castles.
Aden also introduces new game systems to enhance the player experience. The
hometown system allows players to register as a resident of a village. The
selection of the town's mayor is based on each registered players' contribution
to protecting the area. All players who register with a village, city or town
are paid a monthly dividend for their contributions to keeping it safe. This
"cyber-community" within Lineage represents a redistribution of power and wealth
through more democratic means. Additionally, the new alliance system means
pledges in Lineage can band together to become more powerful than ever.
Future plans for Lineage will be announced soon, as NCsoft prepares to roll
out Part II of the Lineage story and bring even more enhancements to the game's
experience.
Lineage is currently available via free download at
www.lineage.com or players can request a
free CD via U.S. mail from NCsoft. Lineage comes with a 7-day free trial period.
After that, a subscription of US$15 per month is required to continue playing.
Customers can save money by purchasing four months in a single transaction at a
rate of US$11.25 per month.
