Official Art books?

Looking for L2 art books. Looks like Japanese have such books. However, they are expensive (about US$50 each). I am just wondering if there are any U.S. version official L2 art books?

By the way, on the eBay, there are a lot of cheaper L2 art books listed by Hong Kong sellers. They look like bootleged. And I just do not like the simplified Chinese.

There are no English-translations of the L2 Art books that I'm aware of.

they have books, figurines, and a whole bunch of stuff in korea, theres even a besteiry book.
Ncsoft north america didnt hit the marketing floor running as the korean Ncsoft did. then again L2 is alot larger over there then it is here and in europe.

Uh.....

Seen L2 Art books in Korean available at NC Taiwan. I might contact friends in TW to get one for me.

There even Coke cans, Coca-Cola cans in korea with several Lineage characters on them.

Some of the same Cooa-Cola cans were recently distributed in Japan.

yah...... NcSoft's marketing team aint the greatest, they could of had those WoW numbers here, imagine having like thirty servers to choose from....
it was all bad marketing

Don't delude yourself. L2 had WoW numbers before WoW was released, and then promptly lost those numbers the second WoW was available to Korean players.

L2's game model is not conducive to a WoW-like number of players.

The Japanese have detailed lore books on Lineage too -- things that have never been seen here

It was the source of these lore translations (http://l2vault.ign.com/static.php?page=lore) that went far more in depth than the L2 NA lore ever went

and I'm sure the book was very artistic too

check ebay, they used to have a few on there

... or just wait til April 25 when the new Lineage II Collector Edition is released, it comes with a full-color artbook called "The Art of Lineage II", among some other very cool stuff like a soundtrack CD, a Kamael figurine, ... :)

from 2 years ago............what was really bad on our part ..i'm suprised someone just didnt take it on themselves to do some marketing and publish something here on there own. like sub contract it from ncsoft na

I hear that edition is only for Europe. Lucky ********.

I think it's the only time we Europeans get a little bit of love :p

Probably a move done solely by the European office (based in London I think?) and not by those in Austin?

Who is Art, and what's he got to do with L2?
