The first chapter in The Chaotic Throne™ saga and the largest update to Lineage II yet, The Kamael introduces a whole new playable character race along with numerous game enhancements courtesy of the brand new Hellbound™ update. The Limited Collector’s Edition also contains three game account codes – a full 30 day activation code, 14 day buddy code and 14 day trial code – together with an additional 15 days game time code, each printed on an attractive collector’s art card*.
In addition, owners of the Lineage II Limited Collector’s Edition also benefit from three exclusive in-game items that help enrich the player’s online enjoyment. These consist of the Black Half Mask accessory item, the Pig Lollipop, which allows players to transform themselves into a pig, and a token for discounts on the new Lineage II server features, such as name/gender change and character/server transfer.
Also included is a stunning 148 page, “The Art of Lineage II” artwork book, filled with examples of Lineage II’s strikingly beautiful character design, an exclusive mini-standee and a hand painted, limited edition Kamael statue, of which just 5500 have been produced.
