Our next Q&A features Lineage GM Lemoncobra. It's got it all: details on what exactly a Lineage GM does, how support issues are resolved, and other interesting facts... even an amusing anecdote!

The Lineage NPC server will be going offline at 3PM CST (9PM GMT) Friday, March 14 to kick off the St. Patrick's Day weekend. We're increasing your chances of getting loot by doubling the drop probability. You won't have to log off when we make the change, but make sure your pets and summons are stowed securely with their pockets emptied. The luck o' the Irish runs out on Monday, March 17 at 3PM CST.

It looks like our friends over at http://www.truthseekersbp.com/ have been doing a little remodeling! A few links were fixed plus new pictures have been added. In their words, "the site is under a big design reconstruction". If you haven't stopped by in awhile make sure you go check it out.

It's been some time (two years by our reckoning) since we last officially talked to Fracas, the Associate Producer of Lineage, and so with Episode 6 on the horizon, we decided to discuss what's been going on since then, what's the deal with Episode 6, and other timely issues. We'll be talking to him (and maybe some others) again real soon, too. And not "real soon = two years later" either!

All Lineage servers will be going offline at 1PM CST (7PM GMT) Wednesday, January 9, for maintenance. The Holiday Event is coming to a close: Orc Santas have left the city squares and the event items (Santa Belt, Reindeer Collar, Snowman Ring, Holiday Pie, and Holiday Stocking) have been removed. These changes will be applied to the PTS at 11AM CST (5PM GMT) on Wednesday as well.

Fracas and the Lineage team want to wish everyone throughout Aden a happy holidays. To this end we're bringing back the Lineage Winter Holiday Event, starting on December 19 at 1:00PM CST with a server maintenance reset. This event will also go up for testing on the PTS December 12 at 2:00PM CST. Speaking of the PTS, be forewarned, we'll be wiping the PTS database before we go live with the event build.

All Lineage servers will be going offline at 1PM CST (7PM GMT) Wednesday, November 21, for maintenance. Several changes will be made, and will be applied to the PTS at 2PM CST (8PM GMT) Tuesday, November 20.

The changes will be applied to the PTS at 2PM CST (7PM GMT) Tuesday, November 13.

All Lineage servers will be undergoing maintenance on Wednesday, November 7 at 1PM CST (7PM GMT). We'll be closing the Halloween Treat Event, which means that all Treaters and Traders will be removed, as well as Shopping Lists from all player inventories. This change will also be occurring on the PTS at 2PM CST (8PM GMT) today (November 6).
