My so-called Lineage II Life

I play Lineage II on a private server. I've never played on retail but I think I have a fair amount of knowledge about the game.

I have 2 characters, a spellsinger and a Bounty hunter. The spellsinger came first. When you play on a low rate server, you have to think about which class to use as your first character. It's important that this character requires minimal equipment but can level up fast so that you can save more adena to 'fund' your next character.

So I chose an elven mystic character which later on became a spellsinger. Elven mystics are fragile but they more than make up for it due to their casting speed and fair amount of damage inflicted.

Why choose a mystic (a damage dealer mystic, that is), you might ask? Simple. It's because you level up faster. You kill more mobs faster and it's low maintenance.

After leveling up my mystic to 52, I created my real money-maker. A dwarf. More specifically, a scavenger dwarf.

You see scavengers make a lot more adena because of their spoil skill. They can get extra number of drops than any other character would normally get from a mob.

Leveling up a dwarf is hard, time consuming and most of all--boring! But if you want to make enough adena in order buy upper grade equipment(top C grade to A grade), a scavenger-and a warsmith, if I may add, is important.

BTW, I play on Staris server of L2 Extreme

Cya!
Peace!

Can you give me more information on where I can get a copy of the Game? Is the game similar to Guildwars? (I understand that it came from the same Company(PlayNC))Is the game available at your "local" stores? Thanks a lot!

First of all, this game requires a really good gaming PC. For better game experience, I recommend having a P4 2.0+ processor, 512MB RAM and a 128 MB video card. Plus the game itself when installed requires 4.55Gigs of HD space.
You can download the game at:
http://www.fileplanet.com/Lineage2/
It's a 2 Gig+ zip file.

It's quite similar to guild wars, only it's has a lot better game play experience. Compared to guild wars, Lineage 2's graphics is way, way better.

I think it's not yet available here in the Philippines.
I heard from some news somewhere that Level-Up games has acquired the rights to distribute it in the Philippines but they're still having second thoughts on launching it because of the shere amount PC specs it requires. Most Internet cafes (even some Netopia branches) don't have good enough PC's to run the game.
While waiting for official L2 to come in the Philippines, You can try playing at some private servers. They're free but doesnt have all the features of official servers. But they can be a good place to learn the game while waiting for official to be available .

Peace!
