    This game is just plain fun. I have played since open beta. This game is not for you if you don't enjoy meeting and grouping with others. I have never had a problem finding a party. The graphics are amazing. There is real danger in this game. You die, you lose stuff. Other players want to kill you. If someone is a jerk, find a group and go destroy them.

    Просто отлично, достойный проект!
    Не стоит недооценивать LINEAGE II, да есть платные функции, где их нет?
    Зато есть возможность показать себя, дружить и мб даже найти пару.

    Моя любимая ММОРПГ. Провел в ней огромное количество часов. Около 10 лет жизни были, так или иначе, связаны с этой игрой. Благодаря ней познакомился с многими интересными людьми.

    Saga I: The Chaotic Chronicle самый лучший период игры, ностальгия. Ну а в Saga II: The Chaotic Throne ещё можно было играть, но всё что выходило после, только убивало игру.

    A great mmo. Amazing graphics and a lot of challenges. One of the best mmo that I have played. The community is great and the pvp system gives some emotion to the game while you explore the environment.

    ive been playing for 6 years,but besides that there have been big improvements,fun,creative... one of the problems are people arent willing to grind and instead use a walker program or third party to level which means "bots" or "botting",and thats the best way to lose an account or get "banned"

    I beta'd this game and decided to stop playing a week before its release so I wouldn't cry. Although it didn't seem like a promising game in the beginning, with the exception of its graphics, it left me dumbfounded of my initial judgement in the end; the game is spectacular. The game has everything a mmorpg addict would want: excellent graphics, a mass number of gear, I beta'd this game and decided to stop playing a week before its release so I wouldn't cry.

The game has everything a mmorpg addict would want: excellent graphics, a mass number of gear, quests, clans, challenging monsters, pets, castle sieges, and etc... In short, I love this game. If it weren't for my schoolwork, this would definitely be the game i'd be playing 24/7. THANK YOU for lineage NCsoft. I recommend this game to everyone!!… Expand

    Absolutely love the game. Incredible graphics, incredible music, and great sfx. Chronical 2, Age of Splendors adds more to an already great game. Definitely, not for the non-serious woosy gamer. Best PvP around for mmorpg's. C2 has definitely raised the bar up another notch.

    immersive and creative, this game is picture in motion, the graphics are incredible and the detail great. ONE HUGE draw is the weapons they look crap, 2d and quite frankly look like paper.

    To anyone reading these older comments above this post, just disregard them and jump in. As a player who has played since just after the game going live, all I can say is that it has just gotten better and better, to the point to where the only FUTURE MMO that will be able to compare to it is, of course, Lineage III, which doesn't come out until Q4 2008...

    Dont listen to the ratings of the squeamish, Lineage 2 is arguably the best fantasy pvp rpg out there.It is the definitive of what R.P.G stands for. Sure the grind is a tad bit odious, but power comes only to those who want it most...

    I will talk about a version, I will talk about "The Chaotic Chronicle" and not about Lineage 2. The graphism is quite foggy, not rich, but it gives a quick gameplay tough, I won't give 10 because there are better versions line Freya, and let's say that Playing "The Chaotic Chronicle" is the same as playing "Freya" in low graphics.

    It is not random that most of the players where stuck on the screen with this game if they did not play WoW. Of course it is a Korean game, meaning its grinding was as harsh as possible, but aesthetics were great. A really iconic MMO, still active today with private servers.

    Good game once, and bad now.
    Alas, the great idea of MMO killer time, and a good pvp system, was killed by the greed of localizers and ns software.
    Everything was great in this game, great design and soundtrack for the game of that time.
    Great character classes.
    And ... localizer and creator.
    I put 10, but it’s the game, not the localizer and the creators who care about money

    For anyone new to the genre, this isn’t the best place to start due to the technical flaws and PvP griefing. Even veterans of the online role-playing genre will find the many errors impeding their fun.

    A gorgeous boilerplate game with little innovation and many sections of tedious play.

    My biggest complaint is the excruciating grind, where you hunt creatures for experience points and money. [July 2004, p.66]
