Pues como dice el titulo, va a ser 'gratuito', aun no se sabe 'como' de gratuito.
''the new model have yet to be announced''
With more and more subscription based MMOs shifting into free-to-play, Lineage II is going to join the line. Today NCsoft West has announced that Lineage II will be adopting a new hybrid business model to allow players to enjoy the game freely in the near feature.
The details revealed currently are limited, but NCsoft West said "the new business model provides features an order of magnitude greater than those of a conventional subscription model, and creates a new way to play."
Along with the free-to-play news also comes an announcement that NCsoft partnered with Innova to offer the free to play service to European players. Innova used to have great success in running Lineage II in Russia. Current Lineage II European players who already have NCsoft West accounts can continue to play on existing NCsoft West servers.
Goddess of Destruction, the latest expansion for Lineage II, which was announced in April seems to be promising in the future. Therefore, if you are looking for a new free MMO to try out, then Lineage II can be added to your game list.
