Welcome to&nbsp;the world of&nbsp;Lineage 2&mdash;the legendary MMORPG that continues to&nbsp;conquer the hearts of&nbsp;players even now, after many years since its launch. If&nbsp;you&rsquo;re just starting your journey here, this guide will help you work out the main features of&nbsp;the game.</br></br>Lineage 2&nbsp;was released by&nbsp;NCSOFT, a&nbsp;video game developer from South Korea. This company is&nbsp;famous for its elaborate fantasy MMORPGs with an&nbsp;open world and wide-scale sieges for hundreds of&nbsp;players, and Lineage 2&nbsp;is a&nbsp;perfect example of&nbsp;such a&nbsp;game.</br></br>All rights for Lineage 2&nbsp;publishing in&nbsp;Europe are owned by&nbsp;Innova Co. It&nbsp;manages the game localization, server support and community relations.</br></br>

<h2>Lineage&nbsp;2 Essence and how it&nbsp;differs from the main Lineage&nbsp;2</h2>

Not too long ago a&nbsp;new version of&nbsp;the well-known <a href='https://eu.4game.com/lineage2/'>Lineage 2</a>&nbsp;appeared, <a href='https://eu.4game.com/lineage2essence/'>Lineage 2&nbsp;Essence</a>, and it&nbsp;has some differences from its parent.</br></br>

Lineage&nbsp;2 Essence is&nbsp;best suited for solo players. Here you don&rsquo;t have to&nbsp;search for a&nbsp;party to&nbsp;grow. Each class is&nbsp;self-sustaining and has buffs for leveling up&nbsp;without any help from others.</br></br>As&nbsp;a&nbsp;result, you are saving your strength on&nbsp;leveling up&nbsp;and have more time for other activities, such as&nbsp;PvP. The Essence version has inherited a&nbsp;lot from the original Lineage&nbsp;2, but its gameplay has been remade to&nbsp;be&nbsp;friendlier for new players. Moreover, it&nbsp;receives its own regular updates with unique classes, dungeons and locations.</br></br>What is&nbsp;Project Eva?</br></br>It&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;separate Lineage&nbsp;2 Essence server that will grant you the unique game experience. It&nbsp;features easy-to-understand mechanics, transparent economy system and the Eva Pass support kits.</br></br>There are no&nbsp;collections, tattoos or&nbsp;Sayha&rsquo;s energy in&nbsp;Project Eva. We&nbsp;have simplified these features as&nbsp;to&nbsp;not distract you from hot battles and other game contents.</br></br>All equipment can be&nbsp;obtained from fights with bosses or&nbsp;bought at&nbsp;the ingame store for adena collected from monsters. It&rsquo;ll take some work to&nbsp;gear up&nbsp;your character, it&nbsp;will be&nbsp;no&nbsp;easy feat.</br></br>The only things that can be&nbsp;purchased for real money in&nbsp;the Eva world are coin kits and Eva Pass with some consumables and adena. It&rsquo;s entirely possible to&nbsp;play without&nbsp;it, however, Eva Pass will make your leveling-up just a&nbsp;bit easier.</br></br>You can buy no&nbsp;more than 5&nbsp;Eva Passes a&nbsp;month per account.

Lineage 2&nbsp;is the original game version loved by&nbsp;millions of&nbsp;players all over the world. It&rsquo;s a&nbsp;fantasy MMORPG where your characters have dual classes, and you can switch between them any time you want. The vast open world is&nbsp;yours to&nbsp;explore, alone or&nbsp;together with your clan. And if&nbsp;you tire of&nbsp;fighting monsters, you can always take part in&nbsp;large-scale cross-server battles.</br></br>Here both solo players and those who love to&nbsp;interact with others will find something to&nbsp;their liking. You can always ease up&nbsp;your leveling process with the autohunting feature, and cross-server sieges and raids let you communicate with peers. The game is&nbsp;updated regularly, so&nbsp;in&nbsp;15&nbsp;years since its launch the Lineage 2&nbsp;world has been greatly expanded.</br></br>

In&nbsp;2024 Lineage 2&nbsp;is still very much in&nbsp;play. The game receives regular updates that add new servers, features and activities to&nbsp;the familiar world.</br></br>The classic experience or&nbsp;new adventures&mdash;no matter what you&rsquo;re looking for, Lineage 2&nbsp;can offer something for you.

<h2>Tips for new Lineage 2&nbsp;players</h2>

<h3>Think about your initial class:</h3>When you choose your character&rsquo;s class, consider not only its abilities but also your own playstyle. Do&nbsp;you prefer face-to-face combat and survivability? Then warriors will be&nbsp;the best choice for you. Or&nbsp;maybe you like killing enemies from a&nbsp;distance and casting flashy spells? Then be&nbsp;a&nbsp;mage! And don&rsquo;t hesitate to&nbsp;experiment.</br></br><h3>Find yourself a&nbsp;team:</h3>Lineage 2&nbsp;is a&nbsp;MMORPG, and a&nbsp;lot of&nbsp;missions and raids here require teamwork, so&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;highly recommended that you find some friends or&nbsp;join a&nbsp;clan. Playing together is&nbsp;much more fun, and besides, cooperation with others will give you access to&nbsp;more game content!</br></br><h3>Learn about the game economy:</h3>Trade and craft play an&nbsp;important role in&nbsp;Lineage&nbsp;2. Learning to&nbsp;do&nbsp;it&nbsp;efficiently will net you a&nbsp;nice income.</br></br><h3>Take part in&nbsp;events:</h3>Regular events and offers give you unique rewards and experience.</br></br><h3>Participate in&nbsp;PvP battles:</h3>Player vs&nbsp;Player (PvP) fighting is&nbsp;one of&nbsp;the main Lineage 2&nbsp;features. The PvP system allows you to&nbsp;diversify your game process and challenge other players. You can take part in&nbsp;duels as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;mass battles that determine the strongest among the clans.</br></br><h3>Check out the game updates and patches:</h3>Regular updates may change the game balance, add new features or&nbsp;correct the existing mechanics.
