I have seen RPG websites say that Lineage 3 is expected out early 07.
1) Will lineage 2 players get dibs on beta accounts?
2) Will we be able to transfer characters from L2 to L3?
3) is there any official word on when Beta testing is proposed to begin?
I am certain this is all assuming that the Micro Dictator doesn't voporize the Korean Penninsula.

No info at all on this as it is all to early to say. guess NC is trying to puch Aion at the market first
It's not coming out early 2007. NC soft said they would release L3 information in ealry 2007. Here is a blurb that was taken from a larger article. I can't find that article (I think it was an interview with the president of NC Soft).
That website is warcry. If I remember the bit about the release it's not that it's being released early next year but that NCSoft plans to release more (official) information about it's development some time next year.
1) it would be niced if they offered us first dibs at beta invites, but who knows.
2)Highly doubtfull for the following: we don't haver server transfers, which make game transfers that much harder. no guarantee that our level cap then will be the level cap L3 starts out with, no guarantee that it will be the same playable races, and more along this train of thought. :D
3) There is no official word on anything. Warcry somehow got a leak that they are planning development of L3 and someone bought out a lineage3 domain name for europe which leads to a blank page. That is all we know.
IMO, some people that provide as much as they can to the development team or support, be it time or whatnot. Should probably get first dibs at the closed beta. Guess ncsoft would have to decide that no doubt.
However information comeing early 2007, and possibly some ingame stuff by end of 2007? I'm crossing my fingers for early 2008 alpha/beta info or availability.
Actually due to the engine layouts, Lineage1 didn't use an unreal Engine....
L2 used a Unreal 2.x engine.
L3 is saposed to be using Unreal 3 Engine.
The creators of unreal made it so that most of ALL game models/textures/maps and database information is easily transferred to the newer game without much of any recompiling at all, sometimes it's as easy as COPY/PASTE files wise for the engine.
Yeah the reasons for not transfering accounts will be more because of game play than technical. Probably the same reasons they give us for not having server transfers and honestly that's fine. Even if they would be willing to do it I'd rather start over in the new game.
no way will l2 accounts to go l3, just like l1 didn't go to l2
that being said, a lot of ppl will prob switch
Well, it wouldn't make sense to transfer "actual" characters but I wonder if they would allow a "name" transfer?
You get your main's name but you just start at lvl 1.
Also, I do wonder if people will switch. Just the idea of better graphics is enticing. But if the gameplay is "exactly" the same (high grind, hard economy, etc) then I wonder if it would make some people take pause.
mabye baning the farmers wont help but it might be a right step, but there to many complications, but there is a way i think to stop the gross amounts of adena there acumlating
cut the adena rpices on everything, cut the telport cost in half, the mount cost, make items / armor/ weps drop more often.
make it so diffrent items drop of a raid boss and make a system so that its not who grabs it frist that gets 100 leather or what not, the way its set up is around money,
mats = rare, u need like 1000 people to make something lol
armor = expensive to us newbies and as much as i hate to say it forces us to buy adena from them
then there the telports / hatse pots, takes forever to get anywhere though its nota bad thing but the bad part is the adena cost.
why in the world should i have to pay 1 mil adena for 1 sword, that in any other game i can go to a dungen and get for free, these so many dungens should be droping loot out the .... but they dont,
to fix this all just make more items drop, raise the drop precentage on everything by least 25% more, cut the telport prices , cut the wep / armor cost
inthe end farmers cant sell stuff no one needs, end of it all right there plain and simple, try playing wow and ull see how i got this idea, oh and try throwing some pvp stuff for the low lvls

Many of us have great gear without ever relying on farmers.
If I can't get in the beta to test it out then I'll probably be running L2 and L3 consecutively for a month or two before I decide which to play. Same thing I did when L2 came out and I was playing L1. With news of the new expansion to L2 and such I still think this game has a lot of potential.
As to the etc: After playing for a little over 2 years I have done pretty well for my self in equipment and adena without relying on outside sources and I still have some left over to help out my clannies when they need it.
1) Will lineage 2 players get dibs on beta accounts?
-Most likely
2) Will we be able to transfer characters from L2 to L3?
-Did Lineage transfer their characters from Lineage to Lineage 2? no it's a completely different game.
3) is there any official word on when Beta testing is proposed to begin? Dunnno :).
I think it would be awesome if NC decided to give people who had the lineage 2 /lineage 1 accounts for 6months+ or anything a key to closed beta then well do a open beta for everyone else.
I'm really anxious to see if any new races/ideas/gameplay come out in L3. Well time will only tell. *sit's impatiently over the months*
I've yet to hear about any game at all that let's you transfer your character to another game. What would be the *point* of an entirely new game with ~100 levels of content where you start at level 100?
Actually.. considering ebayers and powerlevellers, don't answer that.
