Lineage 2 OBT begins

Bartz,

the inaugural server of Lineage, became a symbol of aspiration for those yearning to become heroes.

It was within this server that the formidable clan known as the "Dragon Knights" (DK) established their dominant stronghold, emerging as the strongest force during the Lineage 2 Closed Beta Test (CBT).

2003.09

Formation of an alliance between three clans

Following the official launch of Lineage 2 on October 9, 2003,

the most formidable clans within the Bartz server, namely "DK," "Knights of the Gods," and "GENESIS," formed a powerful alliance.

2004

The tyranny of DK Clan

As DK's influence expanded, they gained complete control over crucial hunting grounds, effectively excluding other players from accessing these areas.

With their control firmly established, they embarked on a ruthless campaign, launching relentless attacks on fellow players, creating an atmosphere of chaos and terror that permeated the entire server.

2004.01

Founding of
‘All for One’ alliance

In response to such tyranny, a coalition called "All for One" was established on the Bartz server, uniting various clans against DK.
Interview during the establishment of "All for One" alliance

“What we desire is not massive sieges, powerful items, or fame. It's something much smaller. It's the freedom and equality for all users to enjoy the game without worry. Even if we have to shed blood and die on the battlefield, we will never waver in our determination.”

Occupation of
Giran Castle by the Allied Forces

After facing repeated defeats, the anti-DK alliance achieved a significant victory in May 2004 by finally reclaiming Giran Castle from the DK forces.

Following this event, players on the Bartz server began to harbor hope, thinking they could defeat the DK forces after all.

2004.06

Formation of the Resistance Army

If the might of ordinary players remains untapped in this war on the Bartz server, the Bartz Alliance is destined for defeat. A simple level 1 character, when mobilized alongside dozens of others against the DK Clan, can inflict not only tangible harm, but also impose substantial psychological toll.

This war extends beyond the confines of the Bartz server; it captivates the attention of the entire server community. Particularly, numerous players from "cursed servers", oppressed by formidable alliances, are watching intently. We must give them hope. We must fuel their confidence. We must ensure that no server ever experiences such tyranny again.

At this very moment, I am moved to create a character on the Bartz server and enlist in the Underwear Corps. I cannot stifle the fervor surging in my heart. And someday, I will confidently tell people,


“I was there as a member of the Underwear Corps in the Bartz Liberation War.”



On June 16, 2004,
in a statement by Gyeomdaenge Daewang, a member of the Underwear Corps.

The rallying cry of the Harry Potter clan, determined to stand against the DK forces, spread throughout the entire server.

Witnessing this, players from other servers empathized with the just cause of the war and formed an organization called "Underwear Corps".

(*Underwear Corps: Referring to players who created new characters on the Bartz server, as their basic armor resembled long johns).

2004.07

Victory of the Bartz Revolutionary Army

As the Underwear Corps united, the revolutionary army, now known as the "Bartz Clan," grew in strength. In July 2004, they successfully captured the core stronghold of DK's power, "Aden Castle."

Thus, the Bartz server seemed to enjoy a period of peace.

2004.11

The division of the
Bartz Revolutionary Army

However, internal divisions within the Bartz revolutionary army arose, and disputes over alliance interests intensified.

Unleashing the Unlimited Annihilation Command of the DK Guild

The Lord of the DK alliance, Akirus, who had been waiting for the right time in secrecy, initiated the recapture of the Gludio Castle and summoned DK members to the Bartz server. One by one, they reclaimed all the castles and once again seized the throne of the Bartz server.
2006.05

Declaration of Disbandment of the DK Guild

Then, in May 2006, Akirus, the Lord of the DK alliance who held the highest position, suddenly declared the dissolution of the alliance, aiming to achieve the founding principle and goal of DK, which was to "disband at the peak of the alliance's glory."

“People always strive for good and make choices, but DK chose evil. I would like to believe that good shines even brighter because evil exists.”

- Akirus, Former Lord of the DK Clan, in his retirement statement. -

"To those countless heroes who loved and enjoyed Lineage 2 more than anyone else, beyond right and wrong, good and evil, and who wrote a chronicle of unforgettable emotions. We salute you, the true creators of the Chronicle."
