Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Prepare yourself for the upcoming expansion of Lineage 2.

Lineage 2 continues to dominate discussions about successful Asian MMOs, but it hasn't been able to get a foothold in the North America mainstream. Lineage 2 above all others is hailed as a PvP-first, PvE-second game. With the MMO market focus shifting towards PvP for the latest releases, Chaotic Throne may be well poised to provide something new (that was here all along). Perhaps the use of lore and additional backstory can aid NCSoft's efforts to garner the hearts of gamers in the states. Before Lineage 2 Chaotic Throne releases to its purported 17 million players, NCSoft Europe has released a taste of what's causing the turmoil and why the populace of Gracia needs more heroes:

"Upon the death the first king of a unified Gracia, the throne was contested by Karneia, the king's heir, and Kuserus, the king's brother. The resulting civil war caused a new level of suffering for a people already accustomed to hardship. In the midst of these troubles, the darkness began to whisper to the people of Gracia."

Will you take up the call and aid the good people of Gracia?
