Just saw this post lineage2.universalrealms.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=145&PN=1 . Apparently the beta in Taiwan is open just for registering at this site. I haven't tried it yet myself so don't blame me it if they are wrong heh.

Alright. There has been multiple posts by people who don't use the Search tool about the Taiwan beta. There are only two things you need:
1) An account. If this site,
lineage.gamigo.de/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2140&s=d9e0b65d0e541f586cbeca399490aa9b
is too complicated or something, just PM (Private Message) me with the Username, Password, and e-mail you want associated with your account. EDIT~! Please note, if you read the above site properly, you'll note that username and passwords must be between 8 and 14 characters. That should solve many problems.
2) The gamefile and the patch. They can also be found on the site above.
If anyone had trouble with the site above, they will probably have trouble getting on.
Gamefile.exe setup instructions
(Bullet) First, open the gamefile.exe. You'll 'install' some files to a directory of your choice, but you are really unpacking them. It will take a while, so don't get uptight and try to close it. Your computer is not frozen, and trying anything will just get you blue screen related bad things.
(Bullet) Then, open the directory you 'installed', or 'unpacked' the files too, and open the setup.exe. If you were compotent enough to register an account for this forum, you will know how to install it. The install progress bar will rocket to the end, then the setup will take 5+ minutes to really install.
(Bullet) The files will install to C:\Program Files\NCTaiwan. ****The file in it will be some kind of crazy Kanji. Right click on the folder and rename it to some English name, such as...Lineage2! ***** <-- Some missed it. This will fix the Create File Error when you attempt to update.
(Bullet) At this time, I would suggest opening the newly installed program, and allow the hundreds of miniature update files to be downloaded. Took about 10 minutes for me, with my Below average DSL connection.
(Bullet) While you are waiting, unzip Eng_Patch.zip or whatever it's called, which you can download here, web2.249088.vserver.de/eng_patch.zip . (Thank you Damien for pointing out my mistake of not having a link. ) Take the files you unzipped and copy them to C:\Program Files\NCTaiwan\Lineage2\system (I guess the extra text was confusing some people). Overwrite the original files. Done with the patching.
{
Because some people wondered:
(Bullet) Yes, you do put the English Patch files into the system folder. which is in the folder you renamed. There should be five files to overwrite. No, it doesn't replace much of the text. For things like quests; you know you got a quest when you see a little Exclaimation point(?) flash on your screen when talking to someone. When you open up your menu, and look under "Accepted Quests", the description will be there. That's the kind of thing it does. Hope that helps.
}
(Bullet) Yeah, you can delete the
(Bullet) Now sit and stare at your screen while you wait for all the files to download. Or better yet, go outside. Yeah, there is something outside. Go run around your house or do some push-ups if you don't want to go outside. Even if you can't do much, it's a good start. Then do it tomarrow while you are waiting for your character to regain HP or MP. As your chars get better, you'll have more time to do push-ups. Sooner or later you'll start to like doing the exercise, and you'll lose weight/Gain muscle. After a few months of playing and exercising while you wait, you'll begin to feel more confident with yourself, and girls will start looking at you in a way you never knew they would. You'll start getting invited to those parties with the popular people. You won't be embarrassed to go to pool parties. You'll start to stop playing video games, and get on with your life. Or you can continue how you are. What ever you decide.
