epic struggles and lay siege to majestic castles in this massive medieval
fantasy world created with Epic’s Unreal engine.

will be charged a monthly subscription fee of US$14.99. Sixty-day game time
cards will also be available at many North American retailers for a suggested
retail price of US$29.99.
Lineage II already is enjoying a successful open beta campaign, which began
in late March. Tens of thousands have already signed up for the game and are
enjoying the spectacular 3D visuals and the intense player-on-player combat that
makes Lineage II a hallmark product in the world of massively multiplayer online
role playing games.
Players still have time to sign up for the open beta and participate in
several challenges and contests created just for the beta test. Free gaming
systems, gift certificates, LCD monitors and video cards are among the prizes to
be given away. Those who participate in the beta test will not have their
characters deleted when the game hits its commercial launch date later this
month. More information, including how to sign up for the beta is available on
the Lineage II web site,
