The storyline for Lineage Eternal - Twilight Resistance is somewhat similar in terms of fantasy value. detailing the rise of heroes after 200 years of tyranny under the kingdom. Eventually, the world fell under the rule of evil forces, leading to a group of young heroes determined to right the wrong and standing up against them.

One of the main features will be PvE and PvP combat, with the screen littered with opponents and allies in a grand war of unsurpassed scale. There will be chaos no doubt, but apparently it will be going the way similar to Dynasty Warriors with all the crazy amount of objects, enemies and players on the screen at the same time.

A campaign is a server-wide quest that offers a significant XP reward. Unlike most quests, which can only be acquired by speaking directly to an NPC, campaigns are announced in a server message, and characters who meet the campaign's participation requirements may choose whether or not to take part. To take part in a campaign, players with eligible characters can click the Campaign button displayed on screen, and then click the Participate button.
When the campaign’s goal is reached, every participant receives a reward and, depending on the campaign, characters who rank highly are given additional rewards. Campaigns can begin at any time during designated hours, and different campaigns may begin on different servers simultaneously. The goal of a campaign may vary depending on the number of players logged onto the server. Characters may obtain Marks of a King and Marks of a Lord for participating in campaigns, which can be traded for items through Royal Token Exchanger Conrad in Aden.
