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 colour, facial expression, and gender among other features.

Most commonly, the player can choose between a mage and a fighter in each race except Dwarves and Kamael, which can be only fighters.

Monsters can be found outside of Towns on the hunting fields or deep inside underground dungeons.

When the player defeats a monster, their character gets XP and SP to help them level up and learn new skills.

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 experience.

There are three versions of Lineage II available presently - classic, essence and Fafurion.

Where the classic bears the same look and feel of the game as it was decade back, the others have specific functions.

Andrew Park of GameSpot said that the game offers either a repetitive grind or a stiff challenge, and is not suitable for casual gamers who can only play an hour or less per day.

Allen Delsyn Rausch called the Kamael an interesting race in that, unlike other Lineage II races, they focus specifically on the warrior path with high-level class paths segregated by gender.
