The company said that "Lineage W" will be released on Nov. He added, "We aim to provide this fun factor to users again and return to the basics." "The thrill of playing the game faithfully and users getting the items they really want was the most enjoyable part of playing Lineage games," Lee said. NCSOFT has been criticized for forcing users to pay too much for purchasing these buffs. Lee also said that the new game won't feature so-called "buffs" that increase the capabilities of in-game items. In a virtual media event, Lee Sung-gu, head of the Lineage W Group at NCSOFT, said that the company will drastically reduce the probability-based, in-game items in "Lineage W," which had been leading to people not always being able to get the in-game items they wanted. "Blade & Soul 2" currently ranks third in Google Play app store sales as of Friday. In response to the negative reaction, NCSOFT took the unusual step of issuing an apology and promised to revise its game system to improve user-friendliness. But the company faced heavy criticism shortly after the sequel's release, because it prevented users from acquiring in-game items tradable between players unless they purchase what it calls a "Season Pass." Such negative sentiment toward the company peaked when NCOSFT's new game, "Blade & Soul 2," was released in August.Īs a sequel to the fantasy game, "Blade & Soul," based on Asian martial arts, the new game was expected to appeal to users seeking to play a role-playing game with action combat. However, NCSOFT has recently faced criticism from users who claim that they must spend too much money to purchase items to stay ahead of other users in the game.
The Lineage role-playing game franchise has been hugely popular for more than two decades.
The company said that the new game can be played on gaming consoles, PCs and mobile devices, so will have a different pay-to-win business model. NCSOFT announced Thursday that its upcoming role-playing game, "Lineage W," will debut around the world on Nov. The poster for NCSOFT's upcoming game, "Lineage W" / Courtesy of NCSOFT
