Choose My Adventure: Lineage II by a landslide

It was no contest from the get-go. Lineage II took an early lead in last week's poll and firmly held on to it. Color me shocked. I really thought that a few of the entries would be closely tied. Some contestants recently added some juicy content releases, but Lineage II crushed them, and all the others, by getting 1,320 votes. The runner-up, Black Prophecy, only managed to secure 299 votes.

All its servers going F2P and the release of Age of Discovery weren't enough to put EverQuest II in the running. The F2P population boom in DC Universe Online's and its recent Lightning Strikes update weren't enough to create competition. Nope. The allure of Lineage II's F2P mode and the launch of the Goddess of Destruction expansion were just too much for voters to pass up.

Now it's your turn to start steering my course in the lands of Lineage II. Race, class, gender and my first class-transfer are all on the table.

I've tried to make voting as easy and clear as possible, but given how each race, and gender determine which classes you can choose from, you should make an effort to understand how all the choices work. Here's one example: Voting Dwarf and then Mystic is wasting a vote because Dwarves can only be Fighters, and it skews the results for those who are voting for a race that can be Mystics. You'll see what I mean.


Lineage II is seven years old and has just seen its biggest expansion to date. I'm stunned and confused by the immensity of the game. The world is huge, and I've only taken a peek at the continent of Aden. Luckily, there's a new, streamlined Path to Awakening to hold my hand as I start playing for the first time. This web-based site promises to steer me in the right direction to maximize my leveling speed. But the routes I take will be among the decisions you'll be making for me. I don't have to follow anyone but you.

This new guided tour through the game does hint that a player could reach level 20 in as little as an hour and level 40 in two more hours. That isn't happening. Let me fill you in on how slow I am. I've never once been level-capped in any MMO I've ever played. I have this magical ability to try my darndest yet still lag far behind the average casual player. The good news is that I likely won't want to level nearly as fast as the site says I can, anyway, because I'd be whizzing past choices you should be making for me.
