"A Great Reversal, Let's Snipe the Castle!" Lineage Classic: Top 5 Highlights from the Long-Awaited First Siege War

On Sunday, June 21, Siege Wars were held on all servers except for the new Oren server. The stage for this inaugural event was set at Kent Castle, Windwood Castle, and Orc Fortress, where the dominant clans of each server clashed to prove their strength and claim the title of Lord.

From lopsided 10:0 victories to fierce, neck-and-neck battles, we’ve rounded up the servers that have become the talk of the community. Which servers stole the spotlight in this first Siege War, and what stories emerged from the battlefield?

1. The First Hegemony on Server 1: The 'Ttol-Man-Ke' Alliance - Death Knight

Death Knight is the flagship server of Lineage Classic, boasting the highest population of both streamers and regular players. Naturally, this Siege War drew massive attention, attracting not only streamers but also a huge crowd of spectators.

The result was a landslide victory for the Ttol - Man - Ke alliance. By splitting into clan-based units to attack all three locations simultaneously, they quickly captured Orc Fortress and Kent Castle without resistance, and after a hard-fought battle at Windwood Castle, they secured it as well, taking all three castles.

The rival 'Gangho' alliance attempted to regroup and launch a full-scale assault on Windwood Castle, while also trying to find openings through guerrilla tactics at Orc Fortress and Kent Castle. However, they were unable to break through the defensive lines established by Ttol-Man-Ke at the gates, leaving Death Knight with a clean sweep of all three castles.

2. Our Server Isn't a 10:0 Sweep - Isilote

The Isilote server was previously heavily skewed in favor of the 'Shin' alliance, led by a major whale, but the power balance has recently shifted as the dissident alliance has grown significantly, intensifying the competition.

In this Siege War, the 'Age' alliance, led by Shin, took Kent Castle and Orc Fortress, while the 'Suho' alliance captured Windwood Castle, creating a 2:1 standoff.

Isilote is particularly noteworthy as it is reportedly linked to power blocs on other servers like Death Knight and Kenlauhel, making it a potential focal point when world servers are introduced in the future.

3. 'Deu - Seul - Wol - Ryeong' Settles the Score! - Zow

The Zow server was originally dominated by the Deu - Seul - Wol - Ryeong alliance, but the dynamic shifted drastically following the arrival of the 'Big' alliance, led by a player who left Death Knight. The Big alliance had been dominating boss hunts and high-value skill drops, and with their frequent victories in field skirmishes, the prevailing sentiment was that the newcomers had successfully usurped the established power.

However, the results of this Siege War told a different story. The Deu - Seul - Wol - Ryeong alliance successfully captured both Kent Castle and Orc Fortress, securing more territory than their rivals.

While each clan is likely conducting its own internal post-mortem, many suggest that the Big alliance’s leadership was somewhat chaotic, and their reliance on non-elite personnel—despite having a larger headcount—contributed to the outcome. That said, the Big alliance still holds an advantage in terms of rare skills, so the results of next week’s siege remain anyone's guess.

4. A Life Dedicated to the Master Class, Now Lord of Two Castles - Christer

One player on the Christer server is turning heads: 'Taesan-Gunju' (Master Taesan). He is famous for his unwavering dedication to the Master class, ignoring more powerful combat classes like Knights or Elves, despite the grueling nature of leveling a Master.

In this first Siege War, he led his side to victory, capturing both Kent and Windwood Castles. Typically, a Master’s role in a siege is to hide under the protection of allies to claim the crown, but it is remarkable that a Master who actively participates on the front lines achieved such a result.

5. Wait, We Didn't Capture Orc Fortress? - Lindel

The Lindel server is buzzing over a 'castle sniping' incident. The stage was Orc Fortress, and the clan that ascended to the throne was named 'Geom - Hyeop - Maeng' (Sword - Hyeop - Clan).

The Lindel server was already seeing a clash between the alliance of Fury, Geom-Hyeol, and Jijon clans against the Sky & Bulpae alliance. So, what was the problem? A closer look reveals the clan name is 'Geom - Hyeop - Maeng' (using a different character for 'Hyeop') rather than the expected 'Geom - Hyeol - Maeng'. In short, a third-party group disguised themselves as a top clan and snuck their Master in to steal the castle.

Regarding this sniping incident, opinions are split: some believe it was a secret operation by the alliance, while others argue they were simply outsmarted by a clever name-spoofing trick. The latter theory is currently gaining more traction.
