About Korean server(An interview with the designer)

This is an interview with one of the top managers in NC (designing team for Lineage 1).
A very rough translantion.. But I guess you can understand it qq.

Q. Lineage's goal for 2010
-Will focus more on PVP. Next episode called "Collapes of winds" is being designed. This epi will focus more on PVP and siege, since this is what lineage stands out from other games.
And new user interface will have more updates like in-game map(+minimaps)

Q. There is rumor that the next dungeon renewal will be PI dungeon
-At the moment there are more important things than dungeon renewal. For example, Bot programmes, restriction of hunting areas by users has to be delt with first.We are not sure if we are going to renewal dungeons But as we mentioned, Bot and restriction of unting area is our primary subject for now.

Q. "Collapes of wins" the new Epi.. When will it be updated?
-This epi will come this winter(this is the expexted date). This Epi is focused on PVP and siege.

Q. Any new items coming?
-There is no plan for new items this year. But as you all might know there are several disbanded itemss like katana, Iron set, mail breacker etc.. We are planing to make players use these items once again.(in my thought what he wanted to say was make these items to make other items.)

Q. Any new hunting areas?
-We have no planes for this year. As we already told you this year, most of things will be focused in PVP and siege. After this has been done than we will try to renew the old & disbanded hunting areas.

Q. What about new instant dungeons besides Thebe and Tichal?
-We are ot sure if it will update this year, BUT crack of time was designed to have 3 concepts. One has already been shown(Thebe & Tichal), rest of it will be updated in near future.

Q. Any new magic or skills?
-We are bringing our heads together to figure out when is the best time to update. I think this will be updated when "Collapes of wind" appears. So late this year or early next year.
One thing is, we are focusing more in Royal class. Lineage is based on BP. So we are plaing to make Royal's skill more efficent and powerful, so ppls can gather around Royals.

Q. What about making siege once agan like the old days. Exp loss and Item drop. And mini games like dog race, slime race?
-It is difficult because Lineage is now 15+ game(age of user must be over 15 in Korea). And there are laws that indicate that 15+ games cannot contain these kind of game contents.
(-In Korea gambling and trading of items are illegal so they closed the dog race and changed to non item drop when PVP)

Q. 3rd update has been made to user interface what has been changed?
-Most of the update was about in-game map. This allows you to see all maps including dungeon and field. Also you can see where your party member is and where you are All maps ca be zoomed to 12X, It's a small navi that will make new players to travel the aden world much easily.
Dungeon mini map will be provided with 23x zoom. So there will be no one who gets lost in aden world.

Q. Any new poly coming up?
-At the moment most of our customers are in 50~55 lev So we are planing to make some changes in 50~60 lev. For 60+ poly, it will be changed after 50~60 poly has been changed.
