Things are clear... its the new Lineage...
In Kr game will be up this year in december...or Jan 2017 tops.
I think its safe to assume NcWest will launch this version next year in Nov-Dec. Once Lineage Eternal up..L2 servers will be empty and dead>>>server will be closed(see transition from lineage 1 to lineage 2 in NcWest) :).
Regarding pvp/sieges and other stuff...we will have PTS (JuJi said... and I think its a Lineage Eternal server not a Lineage 2-wtf to test in Lineage 2 after 6 years of playing).

This:"Mobile Support – play via mobile devices through the cloud connect feature." its awesome :X
Dead wrong.
Lineage Eternal is closer to Diablo than Lineage, where it only has its name in common. This game is NOT L3 (if there ever will be L3 is a different story).
To make it short: I doubt the release of this game will have any impact on L2 at all.
People devote their sore lives to Lineage2 since day 1 and yet they fail into recognize the huge differences btw all versions of Lineage that there's.
A succubus, a steampuk girl with a gun, a **** magician, a skeleton and a prickly gross fire ball. Please, refer those characters to any of well known L2 characters then we can discuss about this 'exciting' thing.
The tank design is just LoL. Maybe they should import that concept to actual ones in L2, maybe then ours can be more tanky without dying with 2 hits.
It will atract real Diablo 2 fans who got disappointed with D3(Which simple didnt delivered)
Game from L2 is a step back not forward.
Remaster L2 (protect the game) and you will have the most dedicated fan base which could come close to L1. The problem with Lineage is, is the constant nerf and up of different classes which always destroys the will to play further - if you know that your bellowed class will be made useless and will be good after 2 years - do you think that people are going to keep interest in the game? That`s when players decide to leave.
AnotherSorc, Astarothy... everybody notice similarity with "diablo" and ofc diferences(distance) from L2:)
Mby its a step back or mby its a step forward thats why i ask Ydao to tell us more or a native korean...
It is what it is and this is what we will get(my opinion).
Question: Do you think its business wise to keep alive 4 games(almoust same lore,etc) for basicly same ppls? Do you think a company who practic have no marketing funds for Lineage can keep alive 4 games with multiple servers up?
I mean:
Lineage classic
Lineage 2
Lineage Red Knights(based on Lineage 1 engine)
Lineage Eternal(brand new game with mobile/android suport)
And not to mention NetMarble with ww expansion in 2017 for Lineage 2 Revolution :)
All those new games/changes will rip apart NcSoft Lineage 2 servers...
Ofc, we will still have 2 major updates next year to play...L2 is far for end but not that far. Or mby after a while they will merge all l2 servers in one and l2 will live forever...
But Im asking you to think, how manny players will be on L2 servers when all those changes come...considering rush for lvl that we feel atm in L2?
I think fear for left behind will make ppl to embrace very quick those changes :)...sooner or later we all go in the same place.
I think Lineage Eternal will have a mad success due to facility to play from mobile/android.
