The most interesting things about L2 were already free. The pictures of the naked Elves and the poster on the back of Howard's door on Big Bang Theory.

There's some circumstantial evidence that NCsoft shut down Lineage in the West following RIFT's launch, so perhaps it isn't surprising that L2 is going F2P as well. But it's a big step for NCsoft West to make on one of their legacy games (and one that still makes huge money in South Korea).

Lin2 actually didn't do that well in Korea (comparitively speaking, anyway) - NCsoft's big titles there are Aion and Lin1.
(btw I'm not at NCsoft any more, ignore the title)

You know, I didn't want to say that based off the photos posted above, but it looks to PLAY like D3 too, which is very odd. This just became interesting.
Okay, the Drag and Circle functions just blew my mind.
EDIT: After viewing the trailer, a new thread needs established for this game. This looks to be the ARPG many of us have been waiting for. Classes: Knight, Mage, Spirit Archer. The Necromancer fight looks impossibly awesome.

I almost made one for it but I was uncertain whether in pc gaming or this forum. It says mmorpg in the subs but this really just looks like a diablo grouped party game.

Although it looks to have 'raids' too, I saw 6-8 on screen at once in the boss fight.
I'm liking the look of this a lot. Interestingly, the one thing that really stood out in stark comparison to other Lineage games was that it wasn't 'tits tits tits' throughout.

Which also interestingly was literally the only thing that made the game playable. As a MMO many people would want to play it was a failure. As an elf lingerie collection game it's top notch. And I'm absolutely serious about that. If they had done away with the shit grind, shit gameplay, added WASD movement, and just made a game where you explored and collected elf panties they would have had way more subs. I'd still be subbed,

I second that. Elf Panties Online would've done much better.

I'm messing around with this... It looked better on screenshots.
The leveling seems pretty fast and intended to be so. There are NPCs to give you free buffs, the quests give massive XP, and they've got a web front end to give you a single quest path (supposedly customised) with regular gifts of timed character boosts. They really want you to the end-game. The new server is packed with kill-stealing (quest progression is based on last hit it seems), speed levelling veterans.
At the same time it does the regular poor job of telling you what you are leveling towards. The NPC interface is very basic text boxes and the explanations are all in Lineage 2 speak. If you're going to grind through dull content, repetitive combat and "you should have bought a booster" mana recovery it needs to put emphasis on the end-game goal. I can't even tell if there is non-clan PvP in the game. Is there anything in the game actually worth seeing if you aren't willing to sacrifice your life to the game?
Also click to move / target and pathfinding that can't navigate small terrain obstructions is pretty dodgy. Not really sure why they'd use this.

Ok why did this lapse buried in a thread warning people to avoid when the topic should have been made months ago? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCdbdsFgNGI Check out the mouse drag moves. Lineage Eternal looks pretty damn cool and the game systems it's innovating should at least be discussed by more than a handful of lineage 2 fans. :) And ya I probably should have made a new topic instead of necroing this one but didnt want to repeat all the links.

Randomly came across this video showing the Lineage Eternal classes (I didn't see it posted here). Didn't know if I should post a new topic or not since people were discussing it here.
