Long story short, I am returning to the game after a long long absence, and without any characters.
I had a 49 dex elf, and a 49 str/dex dark elf and am leaning towards a dark elf. But was wondering what has changed with class mechanics? Are con elfs with water magic still dominant for hunting? What substantial changes have been made to DEs and Elves? And what is the preferred stat distribution for Dark Elves?
Thanks,

The game is totaly messed up
The game is totaly messed up in my opinion
Currently.. lvl 70 wis int Earth Elves rule the pvp field..
base con +23 wis Dark elves rule the pvm field
Knights at lvl 70 are very good for pvp
Mages got nerfed in the dmge department. (every consequtive spell for 1.5 secs gets its dmged reduced before it repeats again)
and no amount of MR is gona help you against ERase + cancel
you will never be immune to cancel, you can only prevent mages from canceling you solo if you add to 22/23 wis
and you will never have a hunting place to urself thanks to all the 600+ bots taht roam around the Lands of Aden.
and you will never be better then the majority of players who bot / hack.
Updates are scarce if ever.. (we are on Epi 5.. Korea got Epi5 Part 2. Epi6, epi6 part 2, and now Epi U?)
Welcome back to worst supported game by NC soft... Lineage 1.
Have a nice day =)

You make it sound so appealing. I never broke 50 back when I played because of an unstable connection. But what's the player base like? Are there still a fair amount of legitimate players?
And all this talk of wis/int elves and DE.. do you actually bother to level like that? or distribute your points into wisdom post 50?
I'm coming back for a bit of nostalgia, and a little fun. But if it's just botters and insanely high leveled people, I don't particularly feel like perpetually playing catch up.

that pretty much sums up the lineage population.
all the low lvl areas are overcrowded with bots..
the other end is basically lvl 60/65/70/75+ ppl
many of which who use hacks

Erm, well ok then o.o I
Erm, well ok then o.o I agree and disagree with the above statement...but I just want to say WB & the best of luck, we could do with more ppl returning^^
Legit players are scarce,
Legit players are scarce, the Wis/Int elves that go to 70 are all bots, and there are alot of hacker/bots
Never explain. Your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe it anyway.
Welcome back :) True there
Welcome back :)
True there is ALOT of bot activiity on ALL SERVERS,
but whether or not they interfere with where you will hunt,
depends on which server your on, and where you hunt the most.
Personally i'm on Ken, and some places I normally hunt at,
is out of the normal routine of others.
My princess char is only lvl 49, I doubt I'll ever make it to 50 at this rate
of dic/g and die/g alot.
Mostly it is a struggle to try to keep a good spot to yourself,
that isnt occupied with bots, if youre hunting in the most popular areas on Ken.
Personally I dont go up to Toi 50+, unless I'm with pledge members or friends.
I dont like to solo there and die all the time.
My char, is a 'Charisma royal,' so she's lacking in str qualities,
to assist her with hunting the higher level areas and survive it,
so I just dont go there.
As to Dark Elf, well I cant say too much on that subject,
my Auraia, was created for one purpose,
and that was so she could turn stones, ie: bring stones...so she's got high wisdom.
The areas I do hunt in the most dont seem to have many bots of late,
which is: Hiene4/underwater and Giran caves.
But as I said, I dont hunt the normal route that everyone else does.
My elf "RelicHunter", since she has acquired the "Sayha Xbow" from
the "Sayha Xbow Quest," which uses the elemental arrows,
she's been hunting in upper fire valley ALOT and surviving it.
At this rate of leveling I might actually get her to level 50 by xmas, ha.
Lands of Aden has the largest population of players/characters of any has been reported.
of the 3 servers, if you want to go there.
Depardieu is next largest, then I think that Ken Rauhel is the lowest
for population at this time.
He is correct in stating that there is ALOT of bots running around
ALL the servers, and ALOT of them are level 65+
And some of them may have started out as just a bot, but now appear
to have actual real players at the helm, cause many of them have
acquired 'speach w/ logical conversations.' o.-
So sometimes If you think it is just a bot, you may be wrong....cause
someone is at the helm of these characters since they have reached the higher levels.
Obviously the reason for bots in any game is to make money for someone,
and how many programs are running them is questionable on Lineage,
but to help rid yourself of the infestation of them, NC did impliment a program
to assist in reporting a bot, its called '/accuse.'
1st step. So if you think you found one in your hunting location, just type:
/accuse
2nd step. Then put your cursor over the target and clik the mouse button
you use for targeting monsters in the game.
3rd step. Next you will see a message in your chat window,
like this:
But although many of us have used this /accuse method, alot of times
it just dont look like its working too well, cause it seems it takes months
before those bots disappear from that area. *No Offense NC,but....
many refer to it as a LOST CAUSE.*
Well take care out there....

I wouldn't recommend getting addicted to lin again, theres been virtually no progress or updates on anything since capt left like a year ago or so. I've heard DAoC is good...

Despite the HV teleporting bug, i've clawed my way up to level 10. But what happened to the Elven Dungeon? Where do I get rough mithril at low levels now?
Boo @ NCSoft
Southwest of Ivory Tower
Southwest of Ivory Tower town is a good area for that, Gnolls will drop you rough mithrils and various regular gems and the dwarfs are handy for irons too, just don't stray too far east or there are a lot of elmores and ghouls that way that will end you pretty fast. Which server are you playing on?
Yeah, I gave up on the elven
Yeah, I gave up on the elven forest and found some gnolls outside SKT. Got my bracers and an EBP, which ought to tide me over for a bit.
I'm playing on LoA. I hear it's currently the highest pop server & i'm hoping there are still some quality blood pedges around.
