Lineage 2 on Mac and MacBook (Apple Silicon M1–M4)

Can you play Lineage 2 on a Mac? With the original game, not really: the client is a 32-bit Windows program, and on a MacBook it means Wine, CrossOver, Parallels or Boot Camp — and Boot Camp does not exist on Apple Silicon at all. LA2WEB is Lineage 2 Interlude that runs in the browser, so on a Mac you simply open the site and play.

Does it work on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)?

Yes. The game draws with WebGL, which macOS supports natively, so there is no emulation layer and no Rosetta in between. Any MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac or Mac mini with a current version of Safari, Chrome or Firefox will do, Intel Macs included.

What do I need to install?

Nothing. No 10 GB client, no launcher, no Wine prefix and no tweaks after every macOS update. Register on the site, open the game page and log in. Your character is stored on the server, so you can start on the MacBook and continue on a Windows PC or a phone.

Is it the real Lineage 2?

It is Lineage 2 Interlude: the original maps, monsters, classes, skill effects, music and interface, on a PvP server with x1200 rates — fast leveling, clans, sieges, a daily Olympiad and an event every half hour. It is not Lineage 2 Revolution or Lineage2M, the separate mobile games.

Controls on a MacBook

Keyboard and mouse work as in the original client, with the trackpad as well. A gamepad is supported too. Hold Space to talk to players nearby with voice chat, and the server's Discord chat is right inside the game chat.

Will my MacBook get hot?

The game is light by modern standards: it was made for 2006 hardware. On battery you can lower the frame rate with /fps 30 in the chat.

Free to play

LA2WEB is free. The server is in open alpha test now, so you can join today and report what does not work. Lineage II is a trademark of NCSOFT; LA2WEB is an unofficial fan project.
