Korean Test Updates

Korea: Test Server Publish 28th July 2005

Lineage, The Cross Rancor - Episode 4 "History & Memory" will be uploaded the the Korean test server on 28th July 2005.

"During the war with the Lastabad army at Diad Fortress, a large underground cavern was discovered which shows the route to the ancient lands."

There are many many parts to this update, so we'll bring them to you one by one.

Korea: Test Server Publish 26/10/2005

1. Orc Archer, skeleton Archer, fire archer, dark elf, dark ranger and the silver ranger morphs have had the following limitations applied:

When chaging targets, tripple arrow is canceled.

This does not apply to bow master and the orc scout.

2. When using the blank scroll, "range" magics will now match the intended range.

Please note, we can not guarantee the accuracy of translations.

Korea: Test Server Publish 27/09/2005

On Tuesday, 27 September 2005 the following changes were published to the Korean Test Server.

1. The appearance of the character selection screen was changed.

Character appearances have been changed to show the new-look in-game style
More movement is now displayed with each character

Korea: Test Server Publish 28/09/2005

1. The straggler event ends.

Usual event wrap-up - NPCs will cease to produce event items. (Magic Wizards Hat, etc)
It sounds similar to our recent cloak event...

2. The Diad Fortress underground invasion path has been changed.

Undead monsters will spawn on the path through floor 1.
The 2nd and 3 floor will also contain the undead monsters and UNKNOWN.

3. "Ale" QUEST is added.

To begin the "ale" quest, meet with "QUESTNPC1" at the underground invasion path on the 2nd floor.
The younger brother "QUESTNPC2" who is worried about QUESTNPC1 appears in the cave of silence.

Please note that translations may be inacurate

Part 1: The Underground Cavern

The Underground cavern

1. The enormous underground area is hidden behind a magic and secret passage. It has been located on the rear of the Diad Fortress, to the north west of the village.

2. An underground Lake (has been added? Sorry - my Japanese is very very bad... and my Korean is worse)

3. A teleportation NPC will exist inside Diad fortress. When the fortress is occupied by a Blood Pledge, the gates will be open and it will be possible to use the teleportation facilities. When the fortress is occupied by the Lastabad Forces, the gates will be closed and the teleporter will be unavaialble. Instead, you can collect scroll fragments and assemble them to teleport to the Diad Area and Underground Cavern.

4. Two alchemy teachers reside in the underground cavern.

1) Alchemy teacher of (resistant?) area - The production of (resistant?) village return scroll, physical reconditioning medicine and high-class physical reconditioning medicine. It is located in the (resistant?) regional village.
2) Alchemy teacher of retirement area - The production of (retirement?) village return scroll, blurring eve(eva?) portion, and two other things I can't translate... DOH. It is located in the eastern part of the large cavern.

5. Strong guardians appear in the ruins of the ancient giant and an NPC which produces "the stone of the alchemy teacher" can be found at the grave of the ancient giant which is located in the south east.

In addition, there is a passage which leads to "the sanctuary of demons".

Please note that this information does not constitute any form of announcement from NCsoft Austin, and has been translated from other sites. Please allow room for errors in our translations. Special thanks to JP LineageLatest

Part 2: Sanctuary of demons

Sanctuary of demons

Ooooh... now this looks kinda fun... get your blessed weapons, turn undead spells and silver steak-knives ready!

It's a long one, so you're gonna have to click "read more" to see it!

"Einhasad and Gran Kain gave birth to many god-children between them. The first five of these children were empowered with the authority of the earth. The eldest daughter, Shilen, was in charge of water. The eldest son, Paagrio, controlled the fire, and the second daughter, Maphr, controlled the land. The second son, Sayha, became master of the wind. For the youngest, Eva, there were no elements remaining, so she created poems and music. While the other gods were busy with their responsibilities, Eva wrote poems and serenaded them with music. And thus the era of the gods began and there existed no place on earth unknown to the gods.

Einhasad was goddess of creation and created forms using her own spirit. Her children used their own powers to create life from these forms. Shilen instilled the spirit of water into the first form that was created. This is how the race of elves was created. Paagrio instilled the spirit of fire into the second form that was created. This is how the race of orcs was created. Maphr instilled the spirit of earth into the third form. This is how the race of dwarves was created. Sayha instilled the spirit of wind into the fourth form. This is how the race of arteias was created.

Gran Kain was a free and uninhibited god. However, he made a very great mistake by seducing Shilen, his eldest daughter. They conducted an affair, avoiding the eyes of Einhasad, until Shilen became pregnant. When Einhasad found out, she became enraged. Stripping her daughter of her position as water goddess, Einhasad ordered Shilen banished from the continent. Gran Kain turned his back on the situation, and Shilen was left to deal with her fate alone.

While pregnant, Shilen fled to the East. Deep in the middle of a dark forest, she gave birth -- cursing Einhasad and Gran Kain with each excruciating labor pain.

The babies born of Shilen's horrible labor bore the despair and anger of her curses and became demons."
An excerpt of Lineage history - taken from the official Lineage2 website

Commander of "Shadow of Flames" and "Varlok", "Summoner of Blood" is Shillin's strongest follower.
The demon family "Depravity", "Chaos" and "Death" follow "Shadow Of Flames".
"Demon" follows "Varlok"
"Baphomet", "Beleth" and "Lesser Demon" follow "Demon"

The children of the family "Depravity" will assist others of their race.

1. The Sancutary of Demons was built to worship the Shadow of Flames. An alliance with the Lastabad army was forged thus this is not a place to visit alone.

2. Depravity is the upper-most demon to spawn in the sanctuary, and so he drops a variety of rare items.

3. NPC's appear in the sanctuary to assit with item crafting:

1) Offshoot of Valork: Cursed Blood, Blood Cloak of Valork.
2) Lesser Demon: Demon Crossbow, Demon Sword, (something?) of Demon, Demon''s Claw

4. Most of the demons in the sanctuary will attack players... and even eachother.

Part 3: Ground Lake - The Grave of Spirits

Ground lake - the grave of spirits

Another long one... go get a coffee, come back and click on 'read more' to see it.

"The giants began to harbor skepticism in their hearts. Gran Kain had already proved his own stupidity by making a lowly living creature called human. In addition, due to Gran Kain's lewd conduct and Einhasad's jealousy, The Underworld was created and various demons came into existence. Due to Eva's weakness and incompetence, the continent was badly out of shape. Seeds of doubt began to sprout in the minds of giants. Did such gods deserve their worship?

Giants could ride chariots made with their own hands and freely go in and out of the gods' palace. They could use magic to lift up an island and live in the air like gods. They could prolong their life span until it seemed like they would live forever. The giants began to think that their power was equal to that of the gods. In spite of their wisdom, they became excessively arrogant.

And thus the giants set out to become gods.

They began to experiment by modifying living organisms to create new forms of life. Giants called the magic to make such miracles possible 'science.'

Intoxicated by power, the giants organized a strong army to fight against the gods despite the failure of Shilen, the six dragons, and numerous demons in the same task.

The gods saw the preparations and were enraged. Einhasad, who claimed the sole right to create life, was speechless with fury. She swore to destroy all giants along with the continent and the entire world. Gran Kain pleaded with her to remain calm.

"Much as you are the Mother of Creation," he argued, "so is destruction my responsibility. You know too well what I had to go through when I coveted your task.

I will punish the giants for their arrogant conduct. Yet if you still want to destroy the entire world, I will fight you with everything I have." Gran Kain did not want to allow the destruction of the continent no matter what and Einhasad was greatly offended by Gran Kain's intervention. However, as they were of equal status, she could not stop him.

Einhasad compromised in the end. In order to punish the giants, she decided to borrow Gran Kain's hammer - known as the Hammer of Despair. Due to its great destructive power, even Gran Kain had never used the weapon. Yet in her fury, Einhasad lifted the hammer high above her head and brought it down in the center of the giants' city.

Only when red flames rained from the heavens did the giants realize that they had committed a foolish error. They reached up with their combined strength to thwart Einhasad's angered delivery of the Hammer of Despair. Yet even with the giants' might, they merely altered the direction of the hammer slightly, and it still grazed the cities as it descended upon the world.

That was enough to destroy the world's greatest city; countless giants and other races were instantly crushed. A large hole was left in the earth and immense waves covered its surface. In the end, almost all the giants had perished.

Those giants who managed to live fled to the east to avoid Einhasad's anger. Their route paralleled that of Shilen in her earlier flight. Einhasad continued to hunt them down and burned the giants to death one by one with bolts of lightning. The remaining fugitive giants trembled in fear and prayed to Gran Kain." - An excerpt of Lineage history - taken from the official Lineage2 website

At the dawn of the new world, a waterway carved through the ground where the ancient giants fled. An area, once deemed a "pretty place" by the ancestors of the dwarven civilization, re-discovered by the dark elves and home to the 4 great elements who found evidence of the tests and experiments that once took place here.

It was the strongest of the elven race who first visited the ruins of the ancient giants and sought to tell the world of the area.

1. The ground nadir lake - the grave of spirit is the remains of a unique ecosystem. It is the hunting place where 4 great elements (water, wind, earth and fire) quickly rose up.

2. The Underground Cavern is located to the west, and the Grave of the Spirits is located to the east.

3. The NPC "Spirit's Orb" is located at the north of the Grave of the Spirits, and can be used to teleport to "Pirate Island".

4. The mambo Rabbit appears at the Grave of Spirits and will drop rare items.

Part 4: Pirate Island

Pirate Island

Is an island, seperated from the continent, with a subtropical climate.

In early days, "Drake" gave the island to the pirates as their base. Treasures were hidden on the island in many places, so it is often referred to as "Treasure Island".

1. The pirate island has a village and a field where the basic convenieces are available. It also has a cave with 4 floors.

2. Movement to the pirate island is possible via the grave of spirit of by boat from "The Hidden Wharf".
Riding in a boat is possible by speaking with the NPC "Duval" at Orc Town who will take you to the wharf.
You will then need to buy a ticket from the NPC "Due" to be able to board the boat.

3. You can travel to the Grave of Spirits from Pirate island by using a "Crystal of the Spirits".
The "Crystal of the Spirits" must be created. You can create this crystal by speaking with the "The Spirit of Ancient Times" in the Pirate Island Cave. The cystal must be used somewhere in the Pirate Island fields.

4. On the Pirate Island, the rare pets starts appearing.
The first rare pet, the "Raccoon Dog" requires taming by a person with charm. Lower charisma characters may have difficulty taming this animal.
Once evolved into a "high pet", the "Raccoon Dog" will be able to use "Cursed Magic" types.

5. The "Great pirate, Drake" appears in the caves. To meet with Drake various quests must be advanced.

Firstly, you must speak with the NPC Doile who will be found somewhere in the village.
Secondly, you must meet with another NPC Rudian who will give you the a piece of the treaure map.
Thirdly, you will need to find another NPC Resta who will give you another piece of the map.
In order to recieve the map piece from Resta, the "Shimizu" quest must be completed (see below).
Finally, once all 3 pieces of the map are found, you must take the pieces to "Cadmus" to gain the completed "Map of the Treasure".
You can use the completed map on the 3rd floor of the cave to teleport to the "Great pirate, Drake's" room.

6. Sub quests
Rukein (not repeatable): The "Skeleton Necklace" is given as a quest reward.
Shimizu (not repeatable): The "Blue Pirate Hood" is given as a quest reward.

Part 11: Others..

Others..

1. The difficulty of Diad Fortress has been greatly lowered. Also, the numbers [of monsters] in the castle has been readjusted. The time needed to lower the castle door's health down past a certain point has been lengthened and the castle doors' HP and power have been lowered. During the siege, the Lastabad forces that spawn have been lowered to half [their number?]

2. Magic gems, spirit gems, and bring stones can no longer be obtained from monsters. (the magic gems-only will drop in a small amount from some monsters.) The reason the aforementioned items will no longer be obtainable from monsters can be found by simply speaking with an Alchemist [NPC] placed in each town. Those items can be crafted by speaking with this Alchemist.

3. New arrow types have been added.
Oriharukon Arrow / Nerupa can craft, Black Mithril Arrow / Koup can craft.
And also, the required ingredients for crafting the mithril arrows Nerupa makes have changed.

4. Environmental sounds and effects upon the use of an item, etc. have been added. Please experience the even more beautiful adventurer's world with the newly updated effects.

5. The effectiveness of the magic used by magic-using pets has been greatly increased. Please experience the incredibly improved power of the magic[-using] pets.

6. The rate at which Baranka and Raia drop rare items has been greatly increased.

7. Some of the claws and edoryu's critical/double attack rates have been readjusted.

8. The arrangement of the monsters that spawn in the 4th floor of Giran Dungeon has changed. Also, the power of the golems that spawn in Giran Dungeon has been lowered.

9. The rewards obtained from the Gift Bag of Pierce have changed.

10. The calculator is a movable item now. [Wae's notes: movable, I assume they mean tradeable or able to be placed into storage]

11. For the ease of use of our customers, we have changed the display of the regions' names from English to Korean.

12. The drop rates for lump of iron, scrolls of enchant armor/weapon, some of the spellbooks, and some of the potions have been lowered. The reason for this is for testing purposes. This is a temporary lowering. We will be continuously readjusting it.

Part 12: A statement to the customers

A statement to the customers

Please note - this statement has been VERY LOSELY translated. (It is also a translation of a translation!)

Many times, Episodes are produced which really hits the customers unexpectedly.
When the episode is updated, many things change and it is a whole new beginning.

Episode 4 was made as a collaberation between NC development and our customers, guiding eachother through the process.

There are also updates that are not quite ready for publish, and many more we would still like to make, which we most certainly will publish as soon as possible. Many elements may not be worthy of publishing, when our customers, who have watched the game over the long term feel that changes are not suitable, we do acknoweldge this. Humbly, this game comes from the heart of all of us, and we are doing our best to address all of the customers concerns. We appreciate your concerns and try our best to address them.
