Lineage Lands of Aden
IP = 216.166.78.133
Experience the tradition of adventure and exploration that made Lineage the world’s largest online game – on a new game server designed specifically for new users! If you have never played an online game, or have tried but been frustrated by the experience, the Lands of Aden experience is for you.

The Lands of Aden server includes new tutorials, new quests, and new items for lower-level players -- among other game changes. The server is currently in beta-testing stages – where we hope you’ll take the opportunity to join us! Comments about Lineage Lands of Aden can be forwarded using the Lineage Support Tool at http://support.lineage.com or updated on the specific Lands of Aden message boards at http://boards.lineage-us.com. We want to hear your feedback!

Additional details and Frequently Asked Questions can be found at http://www.landsofaden.com – including specific details on accessing the server during the beta period, a complete feature changelist for the initial server launch, and more. We look forward to seeing you exploring this new Lineage experience!


This appears to be the "we are not bound to the Korean server" server. Amateras and I are conflicted on what to do at this point.
  • A directed experience system has been introduced to provide beginning players with a tutorial concerning the gameplay mechanics of Lands of Aden.
  • New player quests have been added. Various NPCs in the beginning locations will offer you quests and rewards in the Singing Island and Hidden Valley areas.
  • Training Dummies are easier to hit and give more experience.
  • New boss-type monsters have been introduced throughout Aden. Cronos and the Dark Mage have returned to the game.
  • Kennel Masters have been added to the new player areas.
  • Various new items have been introduced. The types and value of these items will be left to the discovery of the players.
  • Mana and Hit Point regeneration rate is increased in the new player regions.
  • Creatures have been redistributed throughout the game world.
  • Item drops have been adjusted throughout the game world.
  • Lands of Aden is a PvP server.
  • The “Hell System” of Player Killer justice is active. A player will be sent to a separate map if guilty of excessive Player Killing.
  • The “soft AC” system has been reworked. Armor effectiveness has been increased for most classes.
  • Potion delays have been modified. The higher-level healing potions have a longer delay between uses while the lower level potions have a shorter delay.
  • Items sold by vendors have been rebalanced and in some cases their properties may be modified.
  • Various NPCs have been added. Some of these offer such services as enchanting your armor or polymorphing you into strange beasts.
  • Many monsters in the new player areas no longer "steal" drops from the ground.
  • Many monsters in the new player areas give higher alignment when killed.

Use the same instructions as for the test server (http://support.lineage.com/cgi-bin/lineage.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=97&p_created=1022798508) but use 216.166.78.133 as the IP address. :)

Why are they adding another server? To thin out the population of the others even more? Why don't they just make these changes to the existing servers instead of opening a whole new one for the newbs? When i was a newbie in beta i still had to compete with higher lvl players just like the ones now do, there were rich ppl then just as there are now, just handing everything to the newbies like they are just makes the game easier and less challenging for everyone --;

Reepa check out www.landsofaden.com.
They have a pretty good FAQ section as well as a changed section.

But they said that there aren't gonna be Test drops, but they will be different.
And the server will be wiped once on Decmeber 2nd I believe to signify the end of beta.

As for the impact this will have on the rest of the servers. Who knows. I can easily see both Ken and Dep's numbers being thinned out. Ken will have no more than 150-200 people at peak times.

What to do what to do....

This is stupid, lineage is strugling as is in the US and you're going to open another server and thin the population even more? These are changes that could of been added to live server if they feelt they should be, NC making a mistake on this one. Dep, Ken, Test, This one... lineage dosnt have the player base here to support 4 servers.

Dang Iron, I gotta agree with you.

And Yah, the player base seems kinda small to support that many servers (unless they somehow manage to get more player accounts). However, maybe FV beach will be a little less crowded. . .

I not real thrilled about the idea of abandoning my level 48 char or my blood pledge to switch servers. Took me forever to get her there. And it's a PvP server. Ick! But I know I'll have to eventually check it out.

I can think of a good reason that they are doing this. NC Austin thinks we have good ideas and valid concerns. As they point out to us all the time, they are bound by the code that is sent to them from the Korean development team. This is a really good chance to see if all the ideas that we as players have suggested will really work. I think they are trying to offer a server that will appeal to American players that already like the look and feel of the servers, but do not like a lot of the rules. As has been stated with previous complaints, if you don't like it, don't play. I am sure that the dep and ken servers will be quite thinned out for some time, but they will rebound. why not give it a try, and see if it sucks or not? What have you got to lose? I think if the gameplay and whatnot appeals to some people, but not the rules that are set, why not open a new server as a comprimise between what is and what could be? Big props to NC Austin for this one.

You guys (that think this is bad and wonder why they just don't add these changes to dep/ken/test)..

THEY CAN't :) NC-Korea will not make these changes and NC-Austin has no authority over dep/ken/test... so they are making a new server that they have all control over.. its really a good thing..

Now maybe the people in America/Europe will want to play a game that isn't biased toward the far-eastern style of gameplay

I agree with #34, they finally have the "liberty" to try new things with the game, maybe they'll be able to listen to their player base more often and try to implement/fix the things usa(and europeans too ;) ) people don't like about the rules. I think it's a good thing, at least is going to make me return to give it a try :D.

I reeeeeeally hope the new soft ac is not as soft as it was in live servers... i'd hate to quit again T______T

Congrats NC you made me return! :)

Thank you Jerroth for your voice of reason. I agree with you 100% and I think NC Austin deserves a round of applause for this. They didn't have to make this effort, but they did. And I see it as a very positive sign. Unfortunately, there are a lot of ppl who will never be pleased...no matter what NC Austin does. I'm looking forward to checking LOA out as soon as I get off work. (But you can bet I won't be deserting Ken.)

I'm really looking forward to begining of live server for LOA I will probably move there as I'm tired of hard to changes bad things about the game... simply because Korean NC got the big end of the stick. There's a thing I would suggest to NCAustin though... they should fuse dep and ken together making a single server and also close test. So there would be only two servers... and only two the more the servers the less the players on each server.

Also if some more players come playing... and if some old players that stopped playing we could have two decent servers.
