Sorry for the slow news day guys. The author of this site has been really sick :(

NCSoft has released some more info for their recently announced Lineage II: Collector’s Edition.

NCsoft Europe presents a new Lineage II feature – Hellbound & Steel Citadel. These are the two new high level areas that will launch with the Collector’s Edition on the 25th April – giving players a greater challenge to tackle.Since the introduction of the high-level grounds called Hellbound in The Kamael, adventurers have been seeking a way into the deadly Steel Citadel and battle the epic boss Beleth himself. Now with the new update they have the chance they’ve been waiting for. After earning an extremely high level of trust from the Hellbound natives, adventurers will soon learn from them how to gain access into the Steel Citadel and the riches within—if they dare. In fact, players should make sure their characters hit the new level cap (Level 85) before going in.
