Lineage II : Beta Challenge
The Lineage 2 site got a whole site update, redesign, evolution with the release of Open Beta. It's very cool. A lot of new content all about Prelude. Also they announced new contests to go along with open beta.
Worlds Strongest Man Competition! The first person to reach level 40 on any server wins a new Alienware computer.
Top Clans of the Land! Three of the top 10 highest rated clans in the first three weeks of Open Beta will be picked to win gift certificates. $200 for each member of the first clan picked, then $100 and $50 respectively.
Moving on Up! Any player who within the first 3 weeks to complete their level 20 career transfer is eligible to win prizes in a drawing. Prizes include LCD Monitor, video card and other prizes.
Are you a Virtual Photographer? Each week there is a theme selected and players submit screenshots to win a digital camera. One given away each of the four weeks.
Lineage II Directors! Once every took weeks they are going to select the best 30 second 10 megabyte in game movie to win a Cannon camcorder.
Those look very fun and cool for the publisher to offer. I'm actually looking at doing the Worlds Strongest Man competition. I don't have any other obligations right now so why not? Granted I'll have to play almost 24 hours a day, but I think I'm up for it. At the very least I would be entered into the Moving on Up! contest in just attempting the first to 40 contest. The fact that I can carry that character over to release means it wouldn't be time wasted because I would have a pretty high level character.
So what I'll do is chronicle my adventures to get to level 40 here. We'll see how I do in the game and how long I can hold out without sleep. The Open Beta starts tonight(Sunday Morning) at 3am EST. That's 2am here. So I've been trying to plan a few things out. Get the info on quests, monsters, where to hunt. etc. I've been puting some things together to print out so I won't have very much down time going on the websites to figure out the best places to go. I'm also going to have to watch out for the other players too. Since it's all pvp there might be a bit of player killing going on to try to help another person get to 40 faster. Another problem I'm having is which server to play. There are going to be 4 servers to start with. Some might be technically a little easier to do this on because of the number of hardcore clans on certain servers. But we'll see how it goes. I'll report back soon. ¶ 4:45:00 PM
