Sorry your having so many problems with Lineage...
So far the game is quite bland, the areas seem to be largely empty and plain (probably to accomodate hundreds of people without them bumping on each other), the interface feels as nippy as if you were trying to give a worm a tonsillectomy wearing boxing gloves, and the best of all, when creating characters what came to mind was the immortal phrase "Know Your Audience".
All females in this game (even orcish ones) are scantily clad, totally racked out-of-proportion hot chics (the dwarven ones look like the daughter of the male dwarf to be honest), and the guys are mostly gender-bending prettyboys with outrageous hairstyles. Very funny ^_^
Oh well, maybe I'll get used to it, who knows. I've already been subject to a PK attempt.
Also, the programmers really need to take a lesson or two in pathfinding algorytms. I tried to go accross a river by clicking on the opposite side, and instead of using the nearby bridge, my character ran straight into the water. If there is any simple obstacle between your clicked objective and the character in a straight line, you'll simply stop and stad there looking stupid.
And well, I guess performance could be better (1.5 Gb of memory and a Radeon 9800 Pro should be enough for the game not to become sluggishly unplayable in the towns). But since it's just a beta, I'm sure that's one of the things they'll be working on.
