The new update of lineage 2 "Glory Days" is the old preview name, the english name of new expansion of GOD is "glory of blood aliance"; for old players and mmorpg players, this aliance is present in lots of npcs of first job (old quest way, new quest way don't show the history of lineage 2, is only a fake mission). I remember mine first job!
Master Auron say:
To take this test, you must first find the weapon that the Warriors call the sword of trial. Simplon of the town of Gludio knows all about the sword. These days, he works at a weapons and armor shop, but in the past he was a famous soldier of blood aliance, so treat him with respect. If you show him this letter, he will receive you very cordially. Trader Simlon say:
"Wow!", you have brought back ten rusted swords used by the tracker skeletons of the ruins. I can tell from the Gracian characters engraved on the blade -- the undead of the ruins are all spirits of the soldiers that died during war with Gracia.
Anyway, many thanks for your trouble. Here, take one of these rusted swords. Why? Because that is none other than the sword of trial!
What is that dumbfounded look on your face? Don't be unreasonable. Look here, young fellow, did you think we warriors had a magical sword with splendid ornaments? If I say that is the sword of trial, then understand that it is so, and be off! Here, I will write you a letter to take to Master Auron!"
Glory of blood aliance bring back lineage 2 game history!
In movie I see blood! Lineage 2 will introduce blood? No! This is a korean game, the blood is only for l2movies...
A sample movie of new update (which is after the expansion Tauti) from NC Korea:
