NCsoft's Aion and City of Heroes may get more press here in the States, but the workhorse of the Korean MMORPG maker's worldwide stable continues to be Lineage II. The long-running fantasy title is gearing up for yet another substantial update, with the much-anticipated Freya patch scheduled to hit the public test server on July 29th.
Lineage II's updates have always been rather meaty (and free of charge, provided you have an active subscription) and Freya is no different. Included in the patch is everything from new weapons, armor, and abilities to entirely new overland and dungeon areas. Small touches aren't left out either, with new social emotes -- including partner dances -- scheduled for inclusion, as well as reduced teleportation fees and an increase in available quest journal space.
The patch notes have yet to be released, but you can get a sneak peek at the projected additions on the Freya wiki page. Additionally, mark your calendar for the Freya reveal festivities and don't forget to read the official press release. Finally, check out some of the new armors after the cut.
[Thanks Justin!]

seeing this makes me a little emotional (maybe it's the beer), but I can't help but think about how great this game was.
I wish that I had been at the point I am now, where taking 7+ months to hit a level cap is actually a good thing... enjoy the journey and all that, etc.
If it wasn't for the destroyed economy from bots and farmers, this game would be at the number 1 spot on my all time favorites.
