W: MMORPG Game Guide

리니지 W를 위한 팁 - 대규모 멀티플레이어 온라인 롤플레잉 게임 MMO RPG

The first thing a player does when playing Lineage W is to create a character. They can choose Lineage W character's race and personalise the character's face and hair. However, the gameplay allows many options for personalisation of the character visuals: for example, the player can choose attributes and traits like a hairstyle, hair color, facial expression, and gender among other Lineage W features.

If a player's character dies in battle, they are given the option to resurrect in the nearest town or village. They can also wait for another player to resurrect them with a Resurrection scroll or spell. Resurrecting in the nearest town will costs a fraction of the XP gained, which grows exponentially with level. Resurrection spells and elite scrolls generally restore some of the lost Lineage W experience.

The Lineage W follows a fictional history through sets of plots called "Sagas". There are currently four sagas: "The Chaotic Chronicle", "The Chaotic Throne", "Goddess of Destruction", and "Epic Tale of Aden". Large-scale updates/expansions are known as "Chronicles" (also known as "The Throne" in The Chaotic Throne, "Chapter" in Goddess of Destruction, and "Episode" in Epic Tale of Aden), which introduce new story elements as well as new features and add-ons. Lineage W them released every six months. Each expansion new skills, quests, areas, and items. Some expansion also increased the Lineage W level cap.
