More on Ten Ton Hammer

Playing off the impressive success of the original Linage, the developers at NCsoft pulled out all the stops when they created Lineage 2, a 3D fantasy MMORPG set 150 years before the events in the first game take place. Built on the Unreal Engine 2, Lineage 2 was a huge step forward technologically for the series and was certainly a different sort of game than its predecessor.

Players that enter the world will first select their race (Human, Dwarf, Elf, Dark Elf, and Orc) then select between two archetypes (Fighter or Mage). After advancing a few levels in the game, players will then select a sub-class, which is determined by your archetype selection and your player race.

The gameplay in Lineage 2 revolves around the killing of monsters. While there is a fully-functional questing system in the game, the most common way for players to gain experience is through "grinding" - killing monsters in the environment over and over again. Player versus player combat is also a very integral portion of the game and uses a Karma system to insure that PvP combat does not go out of control and impact the play of other players.

Finally, Lineage 2 has achieved a good measure of popularity on the global market, although never reaching the numbers that were touted in the first Lineage title.
