Customizing Lineage 2 adena content will be an important part of Horizons. As Artifact Entertainment http://www.mmodiy.com/Lineage-II-Adena/ designer Steve Snow puts it, the developer wants "to make a game where you play the game you want, instead of being restricted to what [Artifact Entertainment] could think up." In fact, you'll even be able to customize Horizons' interface by resizing or closing any and all chat windows and then locking your preferences for future use. Horizons will also have an in-game instant messaging system that will let you quickly and easily see which of your friends are online and send them a message in a new window, rather than having to type in a single dialogue box and having your chat buried under fighting and magic-spell messages. In fact, Artifact plans to release tutorials that will let players edit their installation files to change the look of the game's interface, import their own skins for each of the game's menus, and even alter the appearance of objects in the game. Horizons will also ship with a Maya 3D-model application that will let industrious players import their own 3D models into the game. For instance, if you don't care for the appearance of a certain monster, such as a zombie, you can create your own model, import it into the game, and see your custom-built model each time you log in, even if other players can't. If you like, you can post your 3D models for other players to see and use as well
Even though Horizons is currently in an alpha-testing stage, it's clear that the game has some intriguing ideas and should have plenty of options for would-be adventurers, especially the kind who don't like to spend all their time fighting. The game is scheduled to go into beta testing soon, and we'll have more information on Horizons then.
