So, the info about a new update: Lineage2 The 1st Throne has started to spread over the internet and i also got that:

- 21 new fortresses added
- each fortress will be part of castles ruling area, each fortress will have the choice to choose whether or not the castle has the ruling powr over them.
Fortresses Wars
- each lasts 1~ 4 hours
- after declaration of siege, the siege starts in 60 minutes
- fortresses all contain [allies, attackers,Lineage 2 Adena non-related people]
- people within the alliance will be categorized on the same side
- anyone that’s not belong to the same alliance but is attending the siege is categorized as non-related people
Declaration of Siege on Fortresses
- when declaration is announced, each guild is treated as 1 unit
- any guilds above level 4 can declare
- when the first declaration is announced (by any guild), in 60 minutes the siege starts, within the first 50 minutes other guilds can declare as well.
- the last 10 minutes is treated as “preparation time” no other guild is allowed to declare anymore.
- When the guild wants to change/cancel the declaration/siege, talk to NPC to cancel
- any guild that owned this fortresses will automatically be assigned as the def side
Siege Starts
- as soon as the siege starts, all areas around it will become battle ground.
- siege starts, all doors to the fortress will be closed
- If the def side has appointed def troops (NPC), these will appear at this moment.
the rest of the info is under the link (lots of letters)
Ownage of Fortresses
- according to each fortresses, there are between 3-5 different def points with 1 central command area
- If the attackers take over 1 of the def points, within 10 minutes they take over the other ones, the central command area door will be opened
- Take over as in take down the def NPCs at the def areas and destroy the def advice
- After taking over 1 def area, if within 10 minutes the other def areas are not taken over, then the NPC’s at this area will respawn
- After all the def areas are taken down, the central command door will be opened and this is where the “flag” game starts
