Pretty but is it like Evercrack? I don't really dig the rpgs, any style.

Well its having serious server problems, the turnout was huge and they didnt realize they had so much publicity. Its kinda like Everquest but Lineage 2 is more centered on the PvP (Player vs Player) than it is the PvE(Player vs Enviroment) like Everquest is. In Lineage 2 they purposely want players to fight amongst themselves. They have about 5 castles in the game thus far and clans can get together and siege for control over them. Clans which control a castle get special privilidges such as setting taxes, controlling town guards and my favorite, the clan leader gets to raise a Wyvern (dragon) to ride. There is still the PvE for leveling up of course.

Does it allow me to lone wolf it?
I like MMORPGs but I like to be able to wander off out into the wilderness, leveling up killing various beasts as I go and then coming across people who need help, doing so and then moving on, basically I like to play as though I'm a wandering samurai

Absolutely, while the game is centered around clans and taking castles, the PvE system works as well and there is nothing to keep you from becoming a wanderer or a mercenary or the next Kenshin Himoura. There are advantages to being in a clan, for example, only clan members who own a house or castle can raise a baby dragon to the strider (mountable) stage, and only a clan leader can raise a Wyvern (flying stage). There are other advantages and disadvantages. And you can always temporarily join a clan for some of them. By the way, I'm on server 2 and my character name is Lynx for anyone who joins. I am the clan leader of Reborn. If you wish to play with me, I have yet to make it beyond the boudaries of the elven forest so you might want to play an elf. Here is me in my newly aquired fully decked out bone armor.

downloading now, so I should be on in the afternoon,
not sure which character class I'll choose, I've been looking at the screenies and I liked the look of an Orc mage and of course a human fighter, I'm not too sure about the elves they look a bit fairy like, I have no such qualms about the dark elves though
edit:
still waiting for that email for the beta sign up :S

sorry to get your hopes up blizz but I read on the forums that aparently the beta emails arent coming. They havent said why but its probably due to the severe problems with the servers. Hopefully they will open them back up real soon. I managed to get to Gludio, and I was ok there, so I can probably meet up with you no matter which character class you choose. Although dwarves start way over in elmor which is a looooong journy by foot. Dark elves are right next door to the elves. Humans are just south, Orcs I think start in elmore as well but I'm not sure. Hopefully they will get the email thing resolved quickly. They did add 2 new servers and have said 3 more are on the way.

Allright,the official announcement from the forum admin.
DhevrinNC:
Serial keys: The release of serial keys has been slowed down somewhat from our end , for those of you wondering. It shouldn't take a week though.
In the meantime you may want to read the legend behind lineage 2 on the webpage. Its quite well written. Also when you do get in, I can probably meet you despite whatever character class you choose now.

Honestly I dont know whats going on. I didnt realize they were going to with hold any more beta keys or I wouldnt have bothered posting it here. They say they are sending them but people on the official forums are saying their friends cant get in cause the keys arent coming. So I really dont know what to say now.

oh did you get a key? Yeah you have to keep trying repeatedly but usually get on after 1 or 2 tries. if you get to the server screen and click confirm and nothing happens, then just cancel it and try again because it wont do any good to keep clicking confirm. If it doesnt let you in normally it will kick you to the login screen again (stupid, yes I know) but if it hangs on the server select then your definately not going to get in until you re-login. I know its a pain to get into it but once you get in the game is awesome.

Keyboard commands are easy because you set them yourself. The shortcut bar on your right (unless you moved it) can have items and skills dragged to it. Use F1 through F10 to select a shortcut and Alt-F1 to Alt-F10 to select a shortcut bar. The rest is all mouse movement. YOu can hit Alt-H and use WSAD but it doest work well. Unfortunately you cant move servers and I'm on Sieghardt and since my character is already level 20 I aint movin. Chat commands are pretty easy. To shout in your general area, use ! followed by your message, its orange. The others you can switch to tabs and see the symbols used for Trade, Clan, and Party and to whisper you use " symbol followed by a name for example
"Lynx Hi!
would whisper me on Sieghardt.
Your basic commands are under the little eyeball menu button. Your skills will appear there too after you learn them. You can drag all of these as well as weapons and armor to the shortcut bar however you like. In my case F4 in Lineage 1 was pick up items and I couldnt break the habit so I just put pick up items on F4.
There are option / commands that you can use but the buttons seem easier except for maybe /sit and /stand.
