Answer

Hi Rudy,

This is actually quite simple:

A prince or princess may only join another blood pledge if the leader of that pledge is level 45+ and has completed the 45 quest.

If the prince or princess wanting to join a pledge is has NOT done the level 45 quest, they may join their entire bloodpledge to the pledge too - simply by facing the other royal and typing /join

If however the royal wanting to join the pledge has completed the 45 quest already, they must dispand their existing blood pledge first.

In either case, always be sure to empty your pledge storage first!

Good Luck!
Roo.

Here is the information available about the public test server:

Please do not use your normal game client to access the Test Server, as this may adversely affect your normal game client and ability to play on the live servers.

When accessing the Test Server, we urge that you keep in mind the following:

The Lineage Test Server is not a full-service game server. There is no customer support for this server, and we urge that you do not consider this to be a regular play server. The Test Server may be wiped at any time, and there will be no restoration of characters, items, or pets lost on this server due to any causes.

The Lineage Test Server is bound by the rules of the User Agreement and Rules of Conduct. Please conduct yourselves in the same manner as you would on a live game server.

You are required to connect to the test server via the official method listed here on the web site. Circumventing the updater, ect, can cause a host of problems and result in bugs and invalid testing. We also do internal testing while the update server is down, such as massive npc load testing, etc. This is not a supported server and is used solely for testing and improving the quality of Main Server publishes.

Bugs or other game issues found on the Test Server should be reported with the "Ask a Question" link in the Support Center. The template to use for reporting bugs can be found here.

To access the Lineage Test Server using a Windows game client:

Create a copy of your Lineage game folder by copying the contents of C:\Program Files\Lineage into a new folder such as C:\Program Files\Test Lineage. It is important that you do not use your existing game client to access the server as it may affect your ability to play on the public servers.

Locate the lineage.exe file in the new folder and create a shortcut for it on your desktop by right-clicking and dragging it to the desktop. Choose “Create Shortcut Here� when prompted.

Rename the desktop shortcut to “Test Server�

Right-click on the desktop shortcut and choose “Properties�

Select the shortcut tab and locate the “Target� line.

Add the following IP address at the end of the target line: 216.107.243.50. Your target line should now read: “C:\Program Files\Test Lineage\lineage.exe� 216.107.243.50

Note: Be sure to include a space between the quotation marks (“) and the IP address (216.107.243.50) or you will be unable to connect.

Click OK and run the Test Server shortcut to access the server.

To access the Lineage Test Server using a Macintosh game client:

Press the ‘Control’ key while clicking the Lineage icon in your Applications folder.

Select the ‘Duplicate’ option.

Rename the duplicate application to “Lintest� (with no quotation marks)

Open the Terminal application located in the Applications/Utilities folder

Run the client from the Terminal application by typing in the following: /Applications/Lintest.app/Contents/MacOS/Lineage 216.107.243.50

An active Lineage game account is required to play on Test Server. Thank you for your assistance on the Lineage Test Server, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Answer

Well, we really had no clue about this, so we asked GM Abularkin, who told us: "To the best of our knowledge, CHA is a core game mechanic that cannot be changed. Thus, it works on the North American servers exactly as it does on the Korean servers."

Answer

Sometimes it's best to talk with them on the phone! You can contact the account support people on: 1-512-225-6359. Lines are open Monday to Saturday from 1pm to 9pm Central.

Answer

To the best of our knowledge, dexterity increases your "to-hit" score - you can see more about this on LineageDB - they have some nice tables on this.



So - how does THAT affect crit hits? Well, it's simple - if you miss (as opposed to land a hit) the chances of you hitting for critical damage is zero. If you miss less, your chances are greatly improved. The more hits you manage to land without missing, the greater your chances of doing critical damage.

Answer

It's been known for this to happen to people who are hunting with pets or summons... Usually because your pet has been shot and then eaten someone. Always keep an eye on your animals.

Answer

You've kinda got two questions going on here...

1. Does the mac client suck?
In short... yes...

The Mac Lineage client is a PowerPC application - so running it on the newer MacBook requires it to emulate the PowerPC processor... Additionally, there are known issues with the character walking and swing speeds on the mac client.

2. How do I run?
Eat haste potions, or braves/wafers/essence/etc.

Answer

Why yes! There is :)

Answer

1. All we know about this is that NC officials have told us that it does have an effect. We do not know what the effect is.
2. The following information regarding over-zelling & over-daing is taken from the NCsoft knowledgebase:

Using Normal Enchant Scrolls:



Please keep in mind that any time you attempt to enchant past the item's safe limit, you also have a chance of destroying the item you are attempting to enchant.



Using a Blessed Scroll of Enchant Armor/Blessed Scroll of Enchant Weapon will not improve your chances for over-enchanting.



Bone armor and weapons have no safe enchant limit; players run the risk of destroying bone items with the first attempt at enchanting. The chance to successfully over-enchant Bone armor is 1 over the current enchantment+2.



Examples:

• If a piece of Bone armor is +0, you have a 1 in 2 (50%) chance of enchanting it to +1; you have a 1 in 2 (50%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a piece of Bone armor is over-enchanted to +1, you have a 1 in 3 (approximately 33%) chance of enchanting it to +2; you have a 2 in 3 (approximately 67%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a piece of Bone armor is over-enchanted to +2, you have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of enchanting it to +3; you have a 3 in 4 (75%) chance of destroying the item.

Non-Elven armor has a safe enchant limit of +4; this includes the Bracer, Boots and Power Gloves; the Red Knight's Hood is an exception to this rule, it can be safely enchanted to +6. The chance to successfully over-enchant non-Elven armor is 1 over the current enchant level:



Examples:

• If a piece of non-Elven armor is safely enchanted to its max safe enchant level of +4, you have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of enchanting it to +5; you have a 3 in 4 (75%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a piece of non-Elven armor is over-enchanted to +5, you have a 1 in 5 (20%) chance of enchanting it to +6; you have a 4 in 5 (80%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a piece of non-Elven armor is over-enchanted to +6, you have a 1 in 6 (approximately 17%) chance of enchanting it to +7; you have a 5 in 6 (approximately 83%) chance of destroying the item.

Elven armor has a safe enchant limit of +6; this includes the Bless of Elm, Elven Helm of Dexterity, and Elven Helm of Constitution. The chance to successfully over-enchant Elven armor is 1 over the current enchant level:



Examples:

• If a piece of Elven armor is safely enchanted to its max safe enchant level of +6, you have a 1 in 6 (approximately 17%) chance of enchanting it to +7; you have a 5 in 6 (approximately 83%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a piece of Elven armor is over-enchanted to +7, you have a 1 in 7 (approximately 14%) chance of enchanting it to +8; you have a 6 in 7 (approximately 86%) chance of destroying the item.

Most weapons have a safe enchant limit of +6; Bone weapons have no safe enchant limit. The chance to successfully over-enchant weapons is 1 in 3 (approximately 33%):



Examples:

• If a weapon is safely enchanted to its max safe enchant level of +6, you have a 1 in 3 (approximately 33%) chance of enchanting it to +7; you have a 2 in 3 (approximately 67%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a weapon is over-enchanted to +7, you have a 1 in 3 (approximately 33%) chance of enchanting it to +8; you have a 2 in 3 (approximately 67%) chance of destroying the item.
• If a weapon is over-enchanted to +8, you have a 1 in 3 (approximately 33%) chance of enchanting it to +9; you have a 2 in 3 (approximately 67%) chance of destroying the item.

Using Blessed Enchant Scrolls:

Answer

This issue was re-addressed in the LinBay Update on 20th November 2006.


It is now possible to view all listed items at the same time.



Previous Answer:

Actually, this is how LinBay originally worked during development. We found as we added more items, the list got bigger and bigger and bigger.


To combat this, we split the system up into searchable categories.


We realised that this took away a nice feature, so to compensate for that, we've added a "New listings" and "Ending soon" listings section to the LinBay block.
