Innova has announced that it will officially swing open the F2P doors of the European iteration of Lineage II in English. Friday's update will feature the Goddess of Destruction update, premium accounts and the item shop will go live.

A brand new item shop will be opened at launch, and the range of items on offer will include runes to speed leveling, scrolls for fast travelling and stylish wardrobe pieces - these are intended to maximize enjoyment of the game, and do not affect game balance. Players will also have the option to purchase Premium Accounts, which provide perks such as accelerated character progression, energy-boosting items and priority server access. Premium Accounts are not required for success in the game, but may be helpful to players with busy lives who wish to make the most of their game time in Lineage II.
