NCsoft, Lineage II, Chronicle 4 - 'And They said: let there be more!'
Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny is the latest addition unleashed upon NCsoft's Lineage II MMORPG, and arguably "one of the largest updates released in the MMO industry", increasing the game's world by one third. Mostly oriented towards high-level players, Chronicle 4 opens up two new hunting areas - Rune and Godard (the latter also housing a brand new castle, just ripe for sieging) and, for those who got fed up with their virtual life, they're introducing a nearly invincible fire dragon called Valakas. Also for high-level players, a series of new skills were added, along with a "hero and noblesse system" that invites lv.75 characters to the Grand Olympiad - an extreme PvP competition, awarding the winner with the "hero" rank, shiny new weapons and a special heroic aura.
Pacifists will also have something to cheer about, as from now on they'll be able to waste their subscription on a completely non-combative, yet... fascinating activity: fishing.
As with the previous chapters, Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny is completely free for Lineage II subscribers. For further details about what it has to offer, NCsoft welcomes you to the game's website.
