Lineage II

Hi all

Lineage 3 was anounced a long time ago, and it apeared on NCSoft´s IR report.It was suposed to comme out in 2009.

The latests Reports dont talk about L3.

Does NCSoft gave up on L3?Or they will guive it another name?

L3 will take many players from L2, i hope they changed the name

Thx for your time

What about Aion?

According to an NCSoft interview 1 year ago, they have temporarily suspended the L3 development and assigned the L3 development team to help finish Aion faster. L3 development will resume when Aion is released.

In 2007 some NCsoft employees who worked with lineage 3 stole it code and coped to someone. So lineage 3 was stopped and had lost much money. But this year new Lineage 3 team was collected and they started to work. NCsoft said what Lineage 3 will be announced in 2011 to the public. 

Yeah L3 is sort of dead in the water right now. Since those jokers stole the code, NCSoft has put it on hold. I imagine once Aion launches (and no Aion is not part of the Lineage fanchise) they will get back on it. I believe they need to start from scratch.

What is the point of releasing Lineage 3? They could easily just keep updating Lineage 2.

umm having a game without an economy totally screwed over by bots and farmers (atleast for a few weeks :P)

By the time Lineage 3 will come out, Lineage 2 will be a very old game. It will be almost twice as old as it is now. They will also keep updating Lineage 2 as long as it is profitable, and it will be profitable for a long time to come.

I diagree about Lineage 2 being a very old game.  MMOs are not your average 'run of the mill' computer game where you do what you are supposed to and you are finished.

An MMO is created to be around for sometime, unless there is a serious problem in the server vs. profit area and with subscribers as with Auto Assault.  I am not saying that the game can not be shutdown.  Lineage is one of NCSoft's standards in the market of the MMO paid service.

If you notice the first "Lineage" is a very old game and it is still around.  

'Aion' is the one I am not so sure about. Flight to Fight.   We will see I guess.

L3 would be a good bet to also be around for quite a while.

NcSoft's specialty is the MMO.  The Lineage series will be around, as will the Guild Wars and City Of X series.

Why are you arguing with me? I never said Lineage 2 is an old game. It's been around for 4 years. It will be another 3-4 years before Lineage 3 releases in North America. It hasn't even run half of it's life cycle yet.

I think we are also moving away from the cycle where players play new unfinished games. There are so many quality MMO's whom have been around for years that a new unfinished game looks far more unappealing. Why play a new half finished game when there are games such as L2 and WoW which have been around and updating and making their game better for four years worth of additional content?
