    The game feeds off the collective energies of hordes of competitive gamers and supplies a solid framework for clan competition. It is a game for those of us that enjoy hard won victories and difficult defeats.
  2. Masterfully simple, overwhelmingly addictive.
  3. It's also, inexplicably, the most popular online role-playing game in the world...It looks old, it plays poorly, and its opening levels are so frustrating that there's a good chance you'll never make it to the interesting stuff.
  4. And really, Lineage isn’t much fun. [Feb 2002, p.80]

    Very addictive game....sort of an action chat room, however, beware of some other players who like to spoil your fun....also, servers sometimes get crowded, causing inopportune disconnects and game lag. Expand
