It's an exciting time to be a Lineage II player. It has been announced that Gracia Final, the newest free expansion and the final part of the Gracia series, will go live on Tuesday, April 28. But that's not the only thing happening that day. Once maintenance is complete at approximately 2 p.m. central time, the 5th anniversary event will begin!

Once the anniversary event starts, you'll have until May 5 to collect the letters A, C, E, G, I, L, N, R, S, Y, 5, and II from monsters to spell out the words LINEAGE II, GRACIA and 5YEARS. Turn these letters in to the Event Manager in villages to earn prizes!

And while you're enjoying the anniversary event, you'll be able to explore all Gracia Final has to offer. We've already reported on the upcoming combat changes, but there will also be changes to all castle seige times due to the addition of territory battles. You can find the new times for your server after the jump. Also, all Clan Rights will be reset with the launch of Gracia Final.

With the launch of the Gracia Final expansion, there will be a change in all castle siege times. Starting with the launch of Gracia Final, all castle sieges which used to be on Saturday and Sunday will be moved to Sunday between 16:00 - 18:00 and 20:00-22:00 Central time. This change is due to the new addition of territory battles.

• First castle sieges after Gracia Final will occur on Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th - Same as before.
• Once these sieges are complete, the Clan Lord will only be able to choose times on Sunday for all subsequent castle sieges.
• First Territory War will start on Saturday, May 23rd.
• First Sunday-only castle sieges start on Sunday, May 24th.
