Lineage II reaches 21 years with 19 million characters created

Completing 21 years of uninterrupted activity, the classic MMORPG Lineage II continues to present numbers that consolidate it as one of the longest-lasting and influential titles in the genre. To celebrate the date, NCSoft released an official infographic with technical data on the game's performance since its launch on October 1, 2003, as well as announcing new content for active players.

According to the developer, the Lineage II universe has already accumulated over 19 million created characters, the formation of 62,930 clans, and 2,325,382 players eliminated by a single player in PvP battles over the years. These data were accompanied by a commemorative trailer released on the company's networks, reinforcing the title's legacy in the history of MMORPGs.

The development team took the opportunity to launch a series of special events on the server, available for a limited time, as well as exclusive rewards and new content packages, all detailed on the official website. These actions are part of the company's strategy to keep the loyal player base active and engaged with the game's ecosystem, even after two decades.

Even outside the industry spotlight, Lineage II maintains a consistent audience, especially in South Korea, its main market, where the game still has continuous support, frequent updates, and dedicated servers. In recent years, the MMORPG has received technical improvements, new progression systems, additional classes, and combat balance revisions.

The title is part of the expanded universe of Lineage, one of NCSoft's most profitable franchises, which also includes successes like Lineage M, Lineage 2M, and the upcoming Throne and Liberty — the latter awaited as a spiritual successor to the series. With the data released, it is clear that Lineage II continues to be a case of resilience and longevity in a sector of short cycles and rapid changes.

For those who want to reminisce about the old times or get to know the game, the celebratory events are already active on all global servers.
