Level Up Quicker With Latest Lineage II Update News

The race to level up got a little bit faster in Lineage II with confirmation that an update from The Chaotic Throne series called Gracia - Part 1.

In a blatant rip of Blizzard's World of Warcraft, a new Vitality system will reward Lineage II players with an experience bonus for time spent away from the game or in safe areas. An increase in rewards for completing quests, battling boss characters, and a greater accessibility of items also promises to make it easier to reach the lofty levels.

"Gracia represents a huge change to Lineage II," said Tim Tan, NCsoft's North American producer. "The increase in leveling speed allows players to create new characters and advance nearly twice as fast as before. This will allow players to experience the meat of Lineage II quickly, giving them the ability to visit new and exciting areas and cool high-level content much quicker than before. While this game is still a hardcore game, these changes with Gracia - Part 1 make the game much more accessible to new players. I hope gamers will take another look at what Lineage II has to offer."
