Kse Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Before we begin revealing individual systems and changes, we want to address one important concern directly. The new files, features, and updates we will be presenting are still part of Lineage 2 Classic. Not pure NCsoft version, but our Hardcore version. We are not transforming Classic into Essence, nor is that the direction we intend to take. Features such as auto-farming or AFK farming do not align with our vision of the Classic experience and will not be part of it. The core of the game remains the same: the familiar progression, the grind, the open world, the classic bosses, castles, sieges, clans, competition, and everything else that defines the Lineage 2 Classic experience. The changes you will see are not systems taken from Essence and placed into Classic. They are Classic features introduced in later Classic clients that came after the versions currently used on Dion and Talking Island. In other words, we are moving forward within the Classic branch itself. Some systems may be new to players who are familiar only with our current client. Some features may have been reworked, expanded, or modernized in later versions. However, their purpose is not to replace the identity of Classic, but to develop it further while preserving its foundations. We understand why some players may be cautious. Over the years, the differences between various Lineage 2 versions have created concerns whenever new systems or mechanics are mentioned. That is exactly why we want to be clear from the beginning: Classic will remain Classic. There will still be progression that requires effort. There will still be meaningful competition, world bosses, castles, clan activity, and long-term character development. We are not removing the elements that make the game challenging, social, and rewarding. Over the coming days, each feature will be presented separately and explained in detail. You will have time to read, discuss, ask questions, and understand how every system fits into the overall Classic experience. Do not judge the direction based on the name of a single feature or mechanic. Wait until you see how it works, how it has been adapted, and how it connects with the rest of the game. This is not a move toward Essence. This is the next step for Classic.
