  Lineage (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lineage is a medieval fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 1998 by the South Korean computer game developer NCsoft.
The title Lineage came from a series of comic books with same title Lineage by Shin Il-sook, and the servers of Lineage are named after the characters of the comic book.
The game resembled the original work rather well when it was created for the first time, but as the developers add new features, the gap between fictional universes of two works became larger and larger.

When a player logs in, they are represented in the game world by an avatar — a graphical representation of the character they play.
Lineage reached millions of subscribers in Korea and Taiwan, and gave developer NCsoft the strength to gain a foothold in the global MMORPG market in the next few years.
Some games such as Roma Victor and Project Entropia take this incentive a step further, allowing players to convert real-world currency to in-game currency such as "Sesterces" or "Project Entropia Dollars", which can then be spent on better equipment, and even houses, for their character.

 The Armchair Empire - PC Previews: Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle
Sporting the largest current number of subscribers for a MMORPG with Lineage, the folks at NCSoft have quite the task ahead of them as they are currently in the process of making a sequel to this game with Lineage II on the PC.
Lineage II isn’t all about fighting though, as it will encourage a player-run economy as clans take over land and start up villages or castles that pump out special items or mass produce commercial goods so they can earn money for the war effort.
The game will be making use of a modified version of the Unreal Engine during play, and from the looks of things so far the developers are putting a lot of effort into the visuals of Lineage II.

 Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle Review from GameZone.com
Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicles has been in retail play for just over a week, but any one new to the game may think that for a player to reach level 35 in a week, the game must be pretty easy.
The game may have done well to institute an sp pool that all members could contribute to, but that the sp donated was only for clan-leveling purposes and could not be used by a single player for skill advancement.
This is a game that is for the hardcore gamers and with a rash of server problems and memory leaks (not to mention clans who farm and exploit), the game – as it stands now – can be a source of frustration, especially if one buys into the level-grind aspect.

 IGN: Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle Preview
While the first Lineage game wasn't extraordinarily popular in North America, it kicked all kinds of ass in Korea and just happened to be the most successful MMO in the world because of it.
Lineage II is well into beta so we decided to jump in for a bit and figure out what the hullabaloo was about.
Whereas many early MMO games took character creation and make it complicated enough to confuse children and dumb adults, many new games are taking an approach that allows for easy arrival into a game with potential for more specialization later on.

 The Wargamer - PC Game Review: Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Lineage II is supposed to be a bigger, prettier Lineage, but its biggest attraction for many is the player vs. player aspects of the game, including the chance to participate in massive castle sieges.
At least after the game is fully installed the CDs aren’t needed for game play and gamers can happily hide them and their ugly sleeve in some dark, recessed space in their desks, far away from prying eyes.
New player characters begin the game with a very brief tutorial that does very little to explain why high-level players with red names are killing all the n00bs, or why those names are even red (though this can be found in the manual in the short section that deals with Karma and its effects).
