in Lineage 2
Hello everyone. I have a few questions....
My mom and I have been playing online games for some years now. She started with Everquests, played that for years, then we both went to SWG. Played SWG for about 2 years, then played a bit of Everquest2 and WOW. We also tried a few free-to-play games and trials (Silkroad, FlyFF, Ryzom, GuildWars) but we haven't found a game that really sticks with us since SWG. We've gone about a year now without really getting into a games. WOW was our last. I guess what we are looking for is a game to fill the void since we left SWG (which we both loved, and miss playing very much.)
I came across Lineage 2 and have been reading up on it a bit. My mom and I are interested in giving it a shot but we have some questions.....
1.) Is this a good game to Duo in?
We are not against grouping, but we would most likely be duo-ing most of the time, and hopefully creating characters that will work good together / complement each other.
2.) Is necessary to PVP?
Neither of us are very much into PVP. We did, however get into PVP in SWG, so we're not completely against it, but is it a necessary part of the game play?
3.) How is the character customization?
The graphics look great and a bit different then any of the other games we've played but I'm wondering how well the customizing is? Is it easy to make your character look different then everyone else, or is there a lack of hair styles / features, and only so many model types?
4.) Is this game quest or more grind oriented? How do you get your exp? Through questing or through grind killing? How do you make money?
5.) Is there player housing?
Um, I think that's all for the questions for now. I would really appreciate the help, and if there is anything else you all would like to add about the game would be great.
Also, if there are other games out there that you want to recommend would be nice as well.
Thanks so much

1. Yes, you can make very successful duos in this game. Mages or daggers matched up with a shillien elder do well (can't say it's much fun to be a recharge bot though). An archer with a prophet also levels quickly.
2. No, pvp is just one aspect of the game. Chances are, you probably will get into many fights.
3. Character customization isn't that great. The models/textures are beautiful and done very well but there is a lack of them.
4. It is definitely more grind oriented. The majority of your xp will be gained from killing mobs. Money will be made either through grinding or playing the open market. The later is definitely faster for gaining cash.
5. There is no physical housing but you do get warehousing.
Clan hall can provide additional buffs and some item creation as well
as teleporation to nearby hunting grounds, and also the feel of a home
of some kind
But as they are not so many of them available in the game (~25) and also they are quite costly to maintain, the chances are not so big, I'm sorry to say.
Oh BTW, what is the death penalty in the game? What actually happens when someone runs up on you and you die?
Thanks again
There is exp loss, but it is not really that bad, as long as you are careful and dont try stupid areas you will not die.
As for being ganked, you lose exp, but thats about it. But once again i've only been ganked by 2 people. One was a low lvl archer who killed my lower lvl archer. And the other one was a bot enforcer who killed me cus i kept killing her bots. Both time I got my revenege and killed them back either with my higher lvl char or a clanmate
also so we are getting another type of "clan hall" (though they are called something different) that is aimed for small/medium clans. so more clans will have places to call home.
My god has horns.... nah, I don't think he is real either.
