parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that violent combat is an integral part of Lineage II, and players will attack and kill computer and human-controlled opponents with swords and other medieval weaponry. Players can kill other players at will, but receive a penalty for it. There is no blood. Parents also should be aware that costumes can be racy and players can take off some female characters' clothes down to very revealing lingerie. Like all MMOGs, Lineage II is an online game and online communication can be unpredictable. Parents should take note that Lineage II requires a monthly subscription fee of $14.99.
Educational value:
Success in the game depends heavily on planning and strategy.
Violence:
Bloodless fantasy violence. Players kill computer-controlled monsters and fight other players to the death with medieval-style weaponry, i.e. swords, bows, etc., and magical powers.
Sex:
Character costuming can be racy. Dark Elf females in particular can be undressed down to erotic lingerie, with naked buttocks and lower part of breast visible.
Language:
Online interactions have potential for unwanted topics. Profanity filters are easily circumvented.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
No overt chemical abuse. Characters retrieve herbs which temporarily confer improved abilities such as attack speed or damage dealt.
