Lineage II Event - Clan 10

These days, Ether’s nobility holds little power when it comes to how each of the kingdoms are being ran. Cabals were formed and within those Cabals were the clans.

Clans hold much power in the two continents that the lords of the land have very high respect for these organizations. It is this very reason why the lords of Aden and Elmore combined resources to sponsor special clans. For within these clans, they know they would be able to keep their hold amongst the people of Ether.

Lineage II - South-East Asia 1st Ever EVENT - The Glimpse's End

Lineage II - South-East Asia or simply L2-SEA is going to hold an event in less than 18 hours from now entitled "The Glimpse's End". This will be L2-SEA's first ever event since they started their Closed Beta Test (CBT).

It is interesting to note that veteran Lineage II players have been waiting for events like this one from their old servers, and now, the whole world has set their eyes on L2-SEA to witness not just the event, but the service of AsianMedia. But, so far so good for them, the GameMasters (GMs) and Customer Support (CS) are getting nothing but positive feedback. Some members of the L2-SEA Community were even amazed that they are already implementing their Game Policies during CBT (Game Policy implementation usually starts with Open Beta).

Here are the details of "The Glimpse's End", the event that will mark the end of L2-SEA CBT, and will mark the beginning of a new world for all Lineage II fans in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia - Lineage II - South-East Asia, an Official and Legal Lineage II Server.






The Glimpse's End

As the Closed Beta Test ends, we invite players to partake in a new journey into the Lineage 2 community. The end is coming close and a new dawn of gaming experience will arrive.

The war between Shilen against the gods had turned. With the combined powers of Einhasad and Gran Kain, Shilen had to think of a different strategy to win the war.

To distract the gods from their battle, Shilen sent out her army down to Ether to wreak havoc among the Etherians. The gods were in conflict. On one hand, they want to help the Etherians with their fight against the demons, on the other hand, though greatly diminished Shilen’s army was still strong. They have kept the onslaught on both heaven and Ether with no trace of giving up.

Caught by surprise, the Etherians ran amok as monster, demons and dragons invaded the different towns and cities of the continent. Even with the giants’ help in organizing the different races, they were still outmatched against Shilen’s army.

Cities were being destroyed one after another. And the Etherians have no other choice but flee their homes.

But who would help them? Who would stand strong amidst the chaos and lead the races to a safe haven? Would you be that person?

Be immortalized in the pages of the Chronicles. Be there for the exodus on the last hours of Closed Beta! Join us and retain your username, password and character names on Open Beta.

Prizes

• Retention of your Closed Beta Accounts to Open Beta. Plus the retention of your closed beta character names to Open Beta.
• All you have to do is be online in the last hours of the last day of Closed Beta (6:00PM to server shutdown), July 25, 2007 and join the exodus from the towns in chaos to a safe haven.

AsianMedia serves up great online gaming with Lineage II’s Philippine servers

ASIAN MEDIA Development Group (AsianMedia) jumps headlong into the big leagues with the much anticipated Triple-A online game, Lineage II™ on its new Philippine server.

AsianMedia acquired distribution rights in South-East Asia for the medieval fantasy MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) from Korean gaming giant NCsoft. With Lineage II™, regional gamers are finally getting what they have long been seeking – a challenging and immersive online game that delivers premium content.

AsianMedia President, Felizardo de la Merced stated that “AsianMedia is committed to raising the bar for online games within the region by providing top-rate content with the IT infrastructure to back it up.”

The company expects the burgeoning market for online games within the region to generate annual revenues of US$141 million by 2010.


Building the foundation for great online gaming
AsianMedia has made substantial investments to house top-of-the-line gaming infrastructure for Lineage II in the Philippines, which will serve as the hub for the hundreds of thousands of gamers expected within the South-East Asian region.

AsianMedia recently chose HP as its technology provider to ensure the highest satisfaction for Lineage II gamers in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia. HP will provide AsianMedia with an online gaming infrastructure solution consisting of ProLiant and BladeSystem servers, StorageWorks data and network storage solutions, networking products, and services.

Information and Communications Technology Head, Apol Salud points out that Lineage II will be the first MMORPG to use HP’s Blade Server in the Philippines. “HP blade servers will allow AsianMedia to provide virtually unlimited expansion for Lineage II in terms of capacity of gamers and game content, while minimizing the amount of downtime for maintenance and upgrades,” he says.

“The Lineage II servers are also tightly integrated with Telco grade network equipments from Cisco Systems to increase its efficiency in handling large amounts of data traffic,” continues Apol.

“This allows ‘direct peering’ with our partner telecommunication companies such as PLDT DSL, Globe DSL, Telekom Malaysia, and SingTel so, in effect, our servers’ capacity for high volume traffic matches that used by the telcos themselves,” he adds.

“We have a true ‘world server’ capable of maintaining the highest quality of service and performance, whether it is accommodating a single user or 100,000 concurrent users,” Mr. Salud states.

To complement its gaming infrastructure, AsianMedia has also set up a 24/7 customer service center using Dell servers to address regional and local gamers’ concerns.


Delivering the goods to gamers
AsianMedia Chief Operating Officer, Ronald Allan Aquino is confident that Lineage II will quickly win the hearts and minds of gamers throughout the South-East Asian region.

“We have a great product in Lineage II and we’ve done everything we can to ensure that we provide the best gaming experience possible to those who log in to our servers to play,” says Aquino.

“This is the kind of game where you simply cannot afford to be lagged if you expect to get anywhere in PvP (Player-versus-Player) or PvE (Player-versus-Environment) scenarios. We are indeed fortunate to be working with only the best IT solution providers so our gamers can have the same great experience whether they’re in Malaysia, Singapore or the Philippines,” he adds.

Lineage II has drawn millions of loyal fans worldwide with its combination of fantasy combat and the unique social/political/economic power struggles developed through the community and by the in-game actions of individual gamers.

Gamers may play alone or as part of a group to fight monsters and complete quests for new skills, experience points, and items. Lineage II also features siege warfare; but to make sure PvP stays under control, the design includes a Karma system that provides negative consequences for killing other players when they do not fight back.

Lineage II features greatly improved third-person 3D graphics thanks to the Unreal Engine developed by Epic Games.


About AsianMedia
