Lineage II Joins The F2P, Uh, Lineage
Published on
NCSoft send word that the mighty Korean grinder Lineage II will be ending subs and allowing currency farmers (and maybe some players) to sign up for free! Good times. They explain: "Unique among MMO offerings in the west, Lineage II will be available to players completely free – there will be no restricted zones, no limited class selection and no gear stuck behind a pay wall." (Is that really unique in the west?) There will even be new content for players to enjoy during their trip through Lineage II's 99 (!) level structure. As for the how and the why of the cash payment system they say that players "will have the opportunity to buy supplemental in-game items and premium item packs from the L2 Store".
