Lineage II goes Truly Free today with new content photo

Let it forever be known that November of 2011 was a month book-ended by Lineage II free-to-play posts. On November 1st it was announced that Lineage II was going "Truly Free" and now that day is finally here. Yes, you can finally download the Lineage II client and play it, without any account restrictions, for free. For more information on how this works and where to download, head to the official website.

Perhaps the most interesting part of this update is the "Path to Awakening" website. If you log in with your character, this will act as your "companion" to leveling up. If you choose to do so you will be occasionally rewarded with items as you meet certain level requirements. I think this will be a tremendous help for the influx of new players that Lineage II is about to see.

Will this website, along with the new content and lack of traditional free-to-play restrictions be enough for you to download the client? Or will you stick to other free-to-play MMOs like City of Heroes or DC Universe Online?

Lineage II is pretty good. The only barrier I had was the monthly fee. I'll give it another shot.

I've had an MMO itch for a while now so I'm intrigued. I'll check it out but it'll probably end up like every other non-WoW MMO I've checked out... I'll play it for a couple weeks then lose every ounce of interest I had. /sigh

I'd play this with friends but I don't think anyone I know would play this.

The game's gorgeous, has great art design, great monsters, lots of perks... it's worth playing, and it's been around long enough to get a ton of fixes and improvements.

That and it's back-up material is worth viewing on it's own.

I remember wanting to play this years ago but I was committed to another Sub MMO at the time ..... now that its F2P ..... I find myself not really caring.

I've ridden the F2P train and while it is enjoyable ..... its typically an abusive relationship at best.

I might check it out ...... I mean it did look like a decent game back when it was P2P, but the Whole ZOMG LOOKZ AT UZ WEEZ HAZ GONE F2P!!1!Oneone!!11one!!! ...... has really lost its sparkle factor.

I don't want to come off as a Sub Snob ..... I'm essentially done with anything that asks me for recurring payments.

I was up to it when this was announced, but not anymore.
The Steam sales inbetween are to blame for that, I guess...
Oh well, back to Cyrodill now.

I'll give it a shot. NCSoft stuff is always worth a look if nothing else.

I played this some years ago. My biggest complaint back then was that to stay competitive, you were kind of expected to get the next tier armor when you hit that level. The only real way to do that was to buy it from someone else since drops were very rare. It was doable until I was going to buy my lvl 40 armor. It was crazy expensive. There was a big farming issue that inflated the hell out of the economy moreso than other games I have played. Not sure if that's still the case as this was probably about 6-7 years ago.
