Lineage 2 becomes one with the worlds

We haven't heard a lot of news from Lineage II since their recent Freya expansion, but apparently the game has hit a rocky patch. Associate producer "Moxie" informed the gamers on Wednesday that the NA and EU worlds would be merging to just one per region.

This merge is being done "in order to promote a healthy and competitive environment, as well as to offer a better overall experience." Currently, Lineage II Adena has five North American and three European worlds, which will be boiled down to only two by the end of this month. The team is accepting nominations for the new worldnames until September 14th and will hold a vote thereafter to determine the winners.

As merges always create an organizational headache, NCsoft is still figuring out the facts of exactly how and when this will happen. However, Moxie said that the team will be deleting any toonunder level 20 that has not logged into the game in more than one year, and if a Lineage II Adena gamer has more than seven characters across all of the worlds, he or she will only be allowed to keep the seven highest in terms of experience.
