New Customer Support website

During this Tuesday’s regular maintenance (6/11/2002), our upgraded Customer Support website will be implemented.

If you need any type of support, simply go to the Lineage website and click on Support, or go to http://support.lineage.com. Effective Tuesday, June 11th, you can instantly browse our new Solutions Database to find answers to Frequently Asked Questions. You can search for answers by category, keyword, phrase, or complex expression. More advanced users may enjoy using the ‘Browse’ feature to find information based on subject matter and helpfulness ranking as rated by other users.

If you need to contact our support department for personalized assistance, you will be asked to create a support account by entering a user ID (your e-mail address) and password. Once you have created an account, you can take advantage of more advanced features like: asking a question and getting a personalized response, subscribing to receive notification of updated answers/articles, viewing the status of the questions you have asked, customizing your profile, and more. We invite anyone to send feedback on the new site by simply clicking on the ‘Provide Feedback’ link on the Customer Support website.

Key Benefits:

  • Empowerment: Using the database to search for answers puts a wealth of information at your fingertips with no need to wait for an answer.
  • Direct access: Questions submitted through our web interface will go directly to the appropriate NCsoft team, enabling us to help you faster.
  • Multi-level support: Rather than just waiting for an answer, you may check the status of your questions, update your questions, update your preferences, subscribe to receive article updates, browse for answers independently, and offer direct feedback about articles and answers on the site.
  • Participation: This system is driven by your feedback! The article rating system will help NCsoft staff identify information that should be added or enhanced, the article subscription system shows us what topics are most important to our users, and information entered via the feedback tab will help us in improving the game, the support pages, and other operations.

Please note that your support account is separate from your game account – if you have any difficulties with your game account, you will still be able to use the Customer Support website to get the help you need.

IMPORTANT! The following mailboxes will no longer actively accept email once the new tool is implemented:
support@lineage.com
billing@lineage.com
marketing@lineage.com
lineagestories@ncaustin.com
screens@lineage.com
bugs@lineage.com
mac-bugs@lineage.com

Instead of direct email, please use the Customer Support website to contact our Game Support, Account Support, Technical Support and Marketing/PR departments.

Articles, screenshots, player stories, and bug reports should also be submitted through this site.

The CS staff is very excited about this new support tool and believes that it will provide customers with a fast and simple way to get the help they need. We look forward to your feedback!

What is the matter with trying to make money? If they weren't in it for the money the game would run out of money and shut down and all the petty complaints we make would be meaningless. I have seen other games just disapear because of a poor business foundation... As it is I don't think the US operations are all that profitable...

OMG!!!! You mean i don't have to talk to a robot anymore? They actually hired someone to reply to your questions? I don't see improved support tho. Random bans will still occur and the support will just hand you a 'You violated the ToA" or something like that. WEEEEEEEEEEEE

Does that mean that on the boards now, all complaint threads will be locked and posters will be referred to the support page?

Ok, First there were gms (friendly, sometimes directly from the playerbase), Supports (mostly korean, didnt speak english very well but they knew exactly what they where talking about) and admins (usually had a silly title like "evil" hardly anyone knew about them. They simply... existed, kinda like todays monitors!)
So then there were monitors... very unpersonal (that a word?)and ban happy, must of been abused as a child. Then we were told that they were not suppose to answer ingame questions and to email support.
The players complain about the impersonal and vague responces they were receiving. They asked for better, personal, more friendlier support like the game masters. So what is the solution? a 100% automated process that no one asked for. Go nc go! With this new system in place, I REALLY GOTTA KNOW... WHAT EXACTLY IS NcSoft paying you to do? Aside from chat bans of course...

As far as them needing to make money, we all agree with that. However, they keep punching themselves in the eye with the US fan base. All that is coming out of the players is complaints right now. All the fancy webpages, updates, and tech support spin, in the world wont change the fact that new players normally dont like the game. And, old players feel awkward supporting the game to new players because of what NC has done to us.

The best way for them to make money would be to deal with their current customer base openly, honestly and with respect. Otherwise any new customers will just be killed off by the poison that has infected this current state of affairs.

This is great, I guess LB has gone over budget and need to cut some dollars and got rid of all support in all and code up this ghey website. Man, just when you think they were as low as they can be, NC-I goes ever lower. GO LB, GO NC-I, you don't need happy customers, just their money.
