Game News - Lineage II - Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood Coming

   Yet another chaotic chronicle is about to join the Lineage II saga, as NCsoft announced the first details for the upcoming Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood. As usual, the expansion will be free of charge, and will bring a slew of new features and content, for newbies and veterans alike - who will be pleased to know that the level cap is being raised all the way to 80. At the same time, low-level players and lone adventurers will be treated to new items and gameplay changes designed to make the game more enjoyable for them.

   For everyone (else), Chronicle 5 will be packed with hundreds of new items, creatures, quests, mini-games and improvements. Players can expect refinements to many aspects of the game including the user interface, fishing, and the Hero and Olympiad systems. Other major features will include:
Revitalized Player vs. Player Combat
Lineage II features unequaled PvP combat and the challenge is as fierce as ever. In Chronicle 5, class balance is the focus. Every class can now win through skilled manipulation of its own strengths and the enemy's weaknesses.

Enhanced Clan System
Clans can now have more members through the addition of the Royal Guard and the Order of Knights. Also, through the creation of their own Academy, clans can bring new players into the clan and rapidly train them (advance them in level). Also added are new clan-based skills that aid each clan member, new clan halls, and a variety of other social benefits.

New Castles and Territories
Several new adventuring areas are introduced in Chronicle 5, including the castles of Rune and Schuttgart. These massive fortresses present fresh challenges for experienced siege planners. New creatures populate these unconquered territories, including Frintezza - an immortal being of immense power, offering an entirely new style of battle to seasoned veterans.    NCsoft plans to release Lineage II - Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood during August or September 2006.
