◆The Road to Lineage II◆

“I used to play Lineage when I was a kid just for fun, and after 15 years, I decided to play again, making lots of in-game and real-life friends.”

How long have you been playing?

About 5 years.

Give us a brief overview of what your gaming life was like before L2. What kind of games did you play, if any?

I used to play Lineage when I was a kid just for fun, and after 15 years, I decided to play again, making lots of in-game and real-life friends. I still play only Lineage 2.

How did you first discover the game and what ignited your interest?

Got invited by a friend.

After getting familiar with the game, what kept you coming back to L2? What makes L2 stand out compared to other games?

The main reason was the interaction with other players, as we play the game as a second life. Drama and competition are two good points why we play the game.

◆Character Spotlight◆

“Today our clan is more than a family. We help each other and we do activities every day just to get together. We became real life friends.”

Let’s talk about your character and your role on your server: What makes your character special and stand out from others? What impact do you think your character makes in the community?

At the beginning the server had clans that wanted to make real money playing L2, turning the game not so fun for the new members and old “not pay to win” players. Our Alliance, with me leading them, reversed this situation and created a fair and fun Giran server for the majority of the players, allowing the content to be explored for other small clans and welcoming new players to become strong so we can have fun with PvP.

Mireno today has respect and can influence directions of clan leaders.

Have you always been the same class as you are now? If not, why did you change? Why do you like your class?

I was a Summoner at the beginning called Promena, but in order to contest the bosses I had to switch to Titan so we had a better chance.

Are you in a clan, if so, what clan are you in?

CastleBlack.

What makes your clan special? What is your clan’s reputation or role on the server? Do you have any fun stories or favorite memories about your clan?

Today our clan is more than a family. We help each other and we do activities every day just to get together. We became real life friends.

I have a very funny story. The First time we killed Antharas. Titans used to need to reduce their HP to 30% in order to go Zealot and Frenzy, so we have more power to kill Bosses. That night we decided to try and kill Antharas. It took us around 2 hours just to organize people to debuff the boss and make 5 parties with Titans and Bishops for Lilith.

One of our main Bishops was leading the debuff partiers and counting the time for Titans to go in. So the time came and he said, “Ok boss is debuffed! Titans go in!” The moment we rushed to the boss, counting that our HP was 30% and Zelot ready to go, he miss-clicked a skill called Chain Heal, and all the Titans’ HP went to 100%! Hahahah, so all of that 2 hours for nothing. We spent the night drinking and making fun of him. For me was the best failed night we had.

Do you have any fun rivalries or fun stories with specific players? What about clans?

Over the last 5 years we had quite a few. One of them was one of Exiled’s biggest donators Giran Server ever experienced. That guy would do an everyday run to PK all the server, just because he didn’t like the way things turned out. He did that for 6 months until he got tired of me killing him. Today we have Elzo, one of the best PvP players in L2 history in my opinion, and very persistent. PvP in Tantar would not be the same without him.

◆Lineage II Through the Years◆

“100%. I have groups that talk every day. We recently got all together in Ireland and Brazil. We would never have met if it wasn’t for Lineage.”

Why do you like the game type you are currently playing (Live, Aden, Classic)? Have you always played this game type? Is there a reason you changed?

I am not sure about the other servers. I always played Classic. Probably because of the nostalgic feeling. After a few years we got attached to the way we play. If I had more time I would try Aden as well.

Tell us some of your favorite memories from L2.

My favorite memory was after Tantar was implemented. It created a spiciness between Giran and Talking Island, flooding our blood with adrenaline to fight to each other for Tantar Domination. I have few Youtube videos. It was fun.

What are some of your past favorite events?

Aden tour (First one)

Baium Tower event with PVP (First one)

Cross Check event (best event to balance the items on the server in my opinion)

All events should have rewards for PvP. Overall that’s the reason we get stronger.

Has L2 ever crossed over into your real-life? Do you have any stories of meeting up with players or making life-long friends?

100%. I have groups that talk every day. We recently got all together in Ireland and Brazil. We would never have met if it wasn’t for Lineage.

◆The Road Ahead◆

“Let’s take advantage of all these good changes and bring our old friends back to the game. The fun has just started again.”

What hopes do you have for the future of the game?

I Really wish we have inter-dimensional Olympiad with good rewards for the winners. Inter-Dimensional Siege, like Astakan with good rewards. Can you imagine rivals from different servers fighting for amazing rewards? That would wake up so many people to play.

An automated system for items recovery, a place where we can check if the item is restorable or not.

Is there anything you would like to say to the community?

Let’s take advantage of all the good changes and bring our old friends back to the game. The fun has just started again.
