Lineage II - 6 reasons that make it an AWESOME GAME! [ENG]
Hello Steemians!! this post is made for all the lovers of MMORPG games, I know that some of you will feel touched, and remember this game with love. I'm about to talk about a wonderful classic game, was released in 2003 by the Korean company NCSoft, one of my favorite video game companies, they have developed another famous MMORPG's like Blade & Soul, Aion, and Guild Wars 2 (good games too if you ask me).
I will give 6 reasons that make this game great, even after 15 years. The classics are those who influence the new games and are those who made our youth or childhood something better.
Yeah, the first reason is the Castles, if you wonder why?
I'll answer: because the possibility of having a castle, since most of the MMORPGs at this moment don't have this feature. This is the main reason why I always come back to this game, the possibility of own a castle with your guild/clan.
I know that the sieges exist in several games but not the exactly feature where you can say:
Yeah, I won this castle with my friends
Picture taken by me in the hall of Rune Castle, they were my clan back then.
Some of the castles:
Is a pretty good game, that has this concept of castles, made with so much engineer, you can fall in love with each castle and their locations, all of them have a throne, and a hall that is beautiful.
This screenshots where taken by me sitting on some thrones.
So I have talked about castles already, now is the moment to explain how to get a castle.
Exciting is the feeling when you are about to go to a siege in this game, is really really nice, and the Player vs Player with other clans make it better.
What you have to do to win a castle is, fight with the enemies of other clans by 2 hours in the castle that you want to win, the leader of the guild/clan has to cast a flag, which takes like 5 minutes, so is a challenge because people from other clans keep going there for canceling the casting of the flag.
After the casting of the flag the siege is not finished, what defines if the time siege is finished is the hour and not the fact of conquest the castle, so which happens after conquest the castle if the hour hasn't finished is to defend, every character that's online from the conquering clan will have an icon of a shield in his head, which means that he has to go and defend with his clan mates.
This screenshot was taken by me, here you can see what I said before, the shield icon in each player's head and the one who have the crown is the clan leader.
This kind of siege needs a good organization, is really hard to do it if people don't have it.
The world of Lineage II is really big, and in every chronicle, they have some change on monsters location. They have many kinds of monsters, that you might never know them all, I have like 6 or 7 years playing this game and there are places that I don't know yet.
This screenshot was made by me on the server I'm currently playing, Interlude Chronicle.
The views are amazing and can be enjoyable to know, each place was made really fine, you can easily notice that when playing. I have several pictures made by me flying around the world.
As playing a low rate of this game you can better know the maps, because you have to walk a lot by map, just as World of Warcraft, (but World of Warcraft wins if we talk about world maps of course).

This game has a lot of classes if you are that kind of people that like something, in particular, the game have a class for each roll:
This is the most balanced race in this game talking about basic stats.

The dark elves were from Elven tribe once, they were corrupted by black magic because they wanted to have the power of the human mages, their feature is that they are the most powerful race, with high damage, magic and physical. Their buffs are based on dances.

| Dominator: A buffer that is, effective in PvP only. | Titan: A warrior class that uses a greatsword, with a high damage. |
| Doom Cryer: A buffer. | Grand Khavatari: A warrior class that uses fists, with a high attack speed. |
Dwarves are the race of earth, their feature is that they are the crafter class, the ones that build weapons and armors, are also useful for gathering materials as well. They have a good physical strength and don't possess a magical class.

| Fortune Seeker: This is the greatest class for gathering and uses Daggers. |
| Maestro: They are the crafting class. |
(Available after Lineage II: Kamael Chronicle) They reincarnate as living combat swords, they are considered as a fighter but later they can become magic too. Their feature is that is the greatest race in PvP because they have the highest damage in PvP and several curses.
| Fighters |

| Soulhound: This is the mage/warrior of the dark element, but can be played as melee too. |

This is the latest race in Lineage II, (just available after Lineage II: Ertheia Chronicle) Their feature is that they have a good dexterity and mobility, they look like a mix of dwarf and elf women.
| Mystic | Warrior |
|---|---|
| Sayha's Seer: A close-range magic class that uses the power of wind. | Eviscerator: They use fists, like the Grand Khavatari class of Orcs, but faster attack speed and highest mobility. |
Each raidboss in this game have a nice history, and a cool unique place where he is located, this is nothing new when we talk about MMORPGs, but I say this because I have all these memories of me playing, and all of them were fun, people should feel that when playing a videogame, with friends and unknown people, you build like a family when going to kill raidbosses, is something really serious, and this game gives you that feeling, without a team you can't do it, every roll has something to do.
This screenshot was made to my character inside Valakas cave.
Some of the epic raidbosses from this game:

The theme songs are just beautiful, I can listen to them and my heart start to beat faster, I'll let you some links here, so you can hear some of the best's villages songs, (each village have a unique song).
I present you a great artist, Seda Baykara she reproduces Lineage Theme songs in her Violin just like a goddess.
Hunters Village Theme Song
Dion Village Theme Song
Giran Village Theme Song
I have been playing this game for 7 years, inconsistently, because I stop and take a long breaks. I became a leader of clans and get castles, this game gave me great friends that today I consider almost brothers. It is quite nice the feeling of this game, it is magical, although it is an old game, still quite good in history and everything, it is a game well done, which can chain you for years (like me).
My new character taking a rest.
Thanks for be here!
