Lineage II Hits Third Birthday

I cannot believe it’s been a full three years since the game has launched. For those in the dark about this pure-PvP MMO game, the equation is simple. Take one part WoW, filter out the cartoon elements, add one part actual difficulty, two parts gameplay and three cups (1.5 pints) of monotonous mini-quests. That’s Lineage 2. NC Soft provides us some quick stats gathered over the course of those three years.

• Number of free major content updates: 6
• Number of contests and events: 42
• Number of Striders: 7,233
• Number of Chrono souvenir items: 2,418,054
• Number of pets (Hatchlings, Wolf, Baby pets): 128,898
• Number of deaths since launch: 618,978,656
• Number of chaotic characters: 86,176
