NCsoft's fantasy-themed massively multiplayer game, Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle, definitely isn't for everyone. While it's certainly pretty to look at, the game focuses primarily on fighting monsters repeatedly to earn enough funds to purchase the exorbitantly priced weapons and armor you need to survive--a decidedly different approach than that of most other recent online role-playing games, which have attempted to alleviate these very issues. This differing emphasis is likely due to the fact that Lineage II was originally developed for the Asian market--so a few things may have been lost in translation.
NCSoft 的這款奇幻主題的大型多人線上遊戲：天堂二，並不是一款適合所有類型
玩家的遊戲。雖然它有著非常漂亮的畫面，但是這款遊戲主要著重於重複的砍殺
怪物，以賺取足夠的資金來購買讓你得以生存的昂貴的武器與防具。這個設計理
念跟近期其他大部分的線上角色扮演遊戲都有所不同，其他遊戲都試著在避開這
個部份。這種著重點的不同或許是因為天堂二原本是為了亞洲市場而開發的－－
所以有些東西可能因為翻譯的關係而失真了。
Like in other games of this sort, Lineage II lets you create a single character before you go out on adventures in a persistent online world, where you fight monsters, gain experience levels, and recover treasures with thousands of other players. Having good gear and items is essential to surviving and prospering in Lineage II, which makes money far more important in this game than in most others of its kind. Unfortunately, while Lineage II was to have featured castle sieges and other elaborate player-versus-player battle systems for powerful and experienced characters, these features aren't yet implemented in the North American version of the game. While some larger guilds of players have staged bigger battles, player-versus-player combat is otherwise very infrequent in Lineage II. The game has a punishing "karma" system in which players that constantly attack other players out of the blue become outlaws who may be counterattacked and actually lose their items, while everyone else can attack outlaws with impunity.
像是其他這種類型的遊戲，天堂二首先要創造一個人物，然後就可以進入一個共通
的線上世界，你可以在那裡與其他上千名玩家一起砍殺怪物、賺取經驗值、獲得寶
物等等。擁有好的裝備與物品在天堂二裡面是賴與生存與發展的基本要素，因此在
這款遊戲裡金錢比其他同類型遊戲要來得更為重要。不幸滴，雖然天堂二提供給高
等玩家攻城以及其他詳盡的玩家對玩家對戰系統的設定，但是這些功能在目前北美
的版本並未實作。雖然有些大型血盟偶爾會有些大型盟戰，不過除此之外的玩家對
玩家戰鬥在天堂二裡並不常發生。遊戲內對於常常攻擊其他玩家的玩家有著懲罰性
的正義值系統，犯罪者非常有可能被追殺並且損失物品，因為其他所有玩家可以不
受懲罰的攻擊這些犯罪者。
The North American version of Lineage II lets you create characters from one of five main races: elves, dark elves, humans, orcs, and dwarves. With the exception of dwarves (who may become craftsmen, but can begin only as fighters), these races may all start out at level one as fighters or mystics, then later change to more advanced professions once they reach level 20, then again at level 40. Unfortunately, it's a pretty long way just to get to level 20--something you can view as either a challenge or a chore. Probably the latter. This is unfortunate, since high-level characters eventually do get some interesting special abilities. In the early part of your character's life, you can assume various quests from certain characters to earn money and experience rewards, but some of the quests are rather repetitive (you'll need to kill 30 to 50 monsters of a certain type, for instance), and in many cases, these rewards aren't especially big.
北美版本的天堂二讓你創造五種種族的角色：精靈、黑暗精靈、人類、獸人以及矮人
。除了矮人以外（將來會成為工匠，雖然一開始的時候只是個戰士），這些種族一開
始都只是等級一的戰士或法師，然後將來在 20 級的時候可以轉職成進階的職業，接
著 40 級的時候再來一次。不幸的是，要達到 20 級要花上相當長的時間－－你可以
把這點看作是一件挑戰或是一種煩人的瑣事，或許是後者吧。這實在是很不幸，因為
高等級的角色才能得到一些有趣的技能。在你角色早期的生涯，你可以進行一些任務
以獲取金錢與經驗值獎賞，但是部分的任務重複性相當高（例如你必須殺死某種類的
怪物 30 到 50 隻這樣），而且在大部分的情況下，任務的獎賞並不會特別好。
Solo battles with monsters aren't especially exciting either; they mostly boil down to either setting your character to auto-attack, then sitting back and watching (while periodically using special abilities), or to casting as many attack spells from as far away as possible until monsters can catch up with you. You then have to deal with the downtime, where you sit and rest for several minutes to recover. Group battles are more interesting, although at this time they seem to offer about as much strategic depth as most other online RPGs. Like in other such games, the best teammates know when to heal the fighters, know when to cast attack spells to finish off wounded monsters, and generally know how much or little fighting or spell-casting they should engage in to make sure you have minimal downtime.
單人與怪物戰鬥並不會特別令人興奮；大部分的情況不是叫你的角色自動攻擊，然
後坐著等結果（有時週期性的使用一些技能），就是在怪物打到你之前，離得越遠
越好，然後盡量丟出更多的攻擊魔法。然後就是休息停滯時間，你必須坐下並且等
待數分鐘以回復。組隊戰鬥就有趣得多，雖然就這點這款遊戲提供了與其他線上遊
戲差不多的戰略深度。就像其他那些遊戲一樣，最好的隊友要知道何時醫療戰士、
知道何時施展攻擊法術來了結受傷的怪物，而且還要知道如何掌控戰鬥的節奏，以
確保能得到最佳的續戰力。
While joining a group of other players is a great way to quickly cut through hordes of monsters and earn lots of experience to gain levels, it's a very poor way to earn "adena," the game's currency. For whatever reason, the amount of money you pick up from higher-level monsters doesn't match up with the rising costs of new weapons and armor. So the most efficient way to play Lineage II seems to be fighting weaker monsters on your own, since you'll sustain fewer injuries per battle and will be able to fight longer without having to stop and rest. "Farming," or grinding away at the same monsters for hours at a time to accrue money, is practically required if you plan to develop your character past level 20. Perhaps as a result of this problematic economy, some unscrupulous players have taken to fashioning money scams, and in the most extreme cases, players have taken to farming and selling adena online for real-life cash--an activity that is against the game's end-user license agreement. NCsoft North America has apparently begun to crack down on these activities at this time.
雖然跟其他玩家組隊可以快速的斬殺一堆怪物，然後獲得大量的經驗值升級，但是卻
很不容易賺取『天幣』－－遊戲中的貨幣。由於某種原因，你從較高等級怪物身上獲
取的金幣並沒有辦法趕上新武器及防具增加的速度。所以天堂二最有效率的玩法似乎
是一個人單打嫩怪，因為每場戰鬥你將承受較少的傷害，所以可以打得更久而不需要
坐地板。如果你打算過了 20 級後還繼續發展你的角色，那麼『種田』或者說重複打
同樣的幾隻怪物好幾小時來賺金錢是必要的行為。在這種畸形的經濟體制下，有些不
正直的玩家就會動起歪腦筋想賺輕鬆錢，而在最極端的情形下，會有玩家專門打錢，
並且出賣線上的虛擬天幣來賺取真實世界的現金－－這是一種違反了遊戲使用者授權
合約的行為。北美 NCSoft 已經開始在打擊這類型的活動。
While Lineage II's current gameplay may not appeal to everyone, it's certainly a game that sounds decent and looks great. The game features an appropriate faux orchestral music score that plays in specific regions of the game, though sound effects are pretty minimal. You'll hear short, subdued audio clips for casting magic spells, and equally subdued voice samples for the game's monsters and your own characters, which will mumble or grunt while fighting or performing the game's few social gestures. You'll also see huge, scenic vistas that include detailed cities and elaborate statuaries as well as highly detailed character models. Lineage II clearly draws inspiration from Japanese animation, and its art design is stylized and consistent. The game's characters look great for what they are, though the female dark elves begin the game with an embarrassing lack of clothing.
雖然天堂二目前的遊戲內容可能無法吸引所有的人，但是它的確是個有一定水準而
且畫面驚人的遊戲。遊戲內在某些特定區域有著適合的交響樂曲，不過音效部分就
很簡陋。你在施法時會聽到簡短而且不知所云的音效，然後也可以在和怪物戰鬥時
聽到同樣沒有意義的一些聲音，或是在自己做出一些社交動作的時候。你可以看到
廣闊、壯麗的場景，包括了栩栩如生的城市，精緻的雕像，以及高面數的人物模型
。天堂二顯然的從日式動畫中得到很多啟示，而且美術設定相當的有風格而且一致
。遊戲內的人物看起來實在很棒，雖然說女黑妖一開始進行遊戲的時候可能會羞愧
的發現自己的衣服少了點。
Depending on how you look at it, Lineage II offers either a repetitive grind or a stiff challenge. In any case, the game isn't suited for more casual players who may only have time to play for 30 minutes to an hour. But if you're looking to test your mettle at hacking through many, many monsters, Lineage II will definitely give you that much. And perhaps the upcoming large-scale player-versus-player features, like castle sieges, will make the game more exciting. At any rate, it's a fairly stable game that runs with only occasional pockets of lag. So if you're in the market for another online RPG in which you can fight lots of monsters, Lineage II will serve that purpose, especially if you plan to wait around for the game's upcoming features, which will be unveiled in subsequent, free downloadable episodes called "chronicles." But if you're looking for a game that offers more content, better group options, and less of a grind, you should look elsewhere, at least for now.
就你所看到而言，天堂二可能是個重複再重複的遊戲，或者是個高度挑戰性的遊戲。
無論如何，這款遊戲並不適合大部分每次只有時間玩 30 分鐘至一小時的休閒玩家
。但是如果你是個想要經由砍殺很多很多怪物來測試自己勇氣的玩家，那麼天堂二
絕對可以滿足你。而且或許即將到來的大規模玩家對玩家戰爭的功能－－像是攻城
－－會讓遊戲更加的刺激。此外，這是一款相當穩定的遊戲，頂多偶爾會有一些
lag 的情形。所以如果你是在找尋一款又是讓你砍殺大量怪物的線上遊戲，那麼天
堂二絕對是符合這個需求，尤其是如果你願意等待將來開放的功能－－會以所謂的
『章節』依序以免費下載的方式推出。但是如果你是在尋找一款提供更多的內涵、
更好的組隊選擇，以及不要那些煩人的瑣事，那麼你應該試試別的作品，至少現在
是如此。
