GameSpy LoA ad
Forged noticed that if you go to http://www.gamespy.com, there's an ad for LoA in the right hand side of the main page! Clicking on the link takes you to a download page with this key selling point: "If you have never played an online game, or have tried but have been frustrated by the experience, this is the game for you." (Obviously referring to LoA server specifically)

Grow Lineage, grow!

Lineage has always advertised...but I do believe this is the first instance of them specifically trying to bring people to a single server. Hope it works but then again hope it doesnt...LOA CRAWLS with the amount of people on it now.

MY personal belief is that if they want to market, start using the new graphics that is coming to lin to advertise. Most american/european gamers (cept us kind folk :D) look for graphical pretty games and i am sorry i love lineage but it aint pretty, its simple and ppl dont like simple >:D

hopefully i'll be seeing more population in lin, which then leads to things like:

ZLegolasZ
OoLegolasoO
QLegolasQ
L3G0L45
Legolas416
IOoXxQZLegolasZQxXoOI
and many other variations.....^^

The simplicity was my favorite thing about lineage heh, (#6, 5).
Bringing the entire game down to sieging, pking, and dueling made lineage worth my time on test ^^

I really dont like people. And lineage really doesn't have alot of people playing. So i like lineage! My biggest fear would be that somehow lineage got big in the us, and our servers started having 4000+ people on them all the time. That would really suck.

I can't believe you guys just noticed this now... *I'm a gamespy addict...* they always include information on Lineage in their newsletters too...

No offence to Ncsoft but Finnaly u get some advertising that isnt just a little pamphlet inside a gamerss magazine. that will only get you so far. maybe make a tv commercial or something to get some U.S people. Most mmorpg's have gone out of style and i like this one so i hope that u can advertise and increase the number of U.S people playing Liniage.

yeah TV ads.... well, my dad told me when he was in Wonju that NC owns a tv station in korea that does nothing but lineage coverage 24 hours a day. they do things like the US weather channel... that is, scroll misc news along the bottom of the screen, any updates being done to test server are viewed there, they have programs on strategies to certain mops and pvp... you get the picture.

now, of course, in the US nobody but us would even watch that channel anyway, and it would cost too much moola, my digitical cable has that TechTV channel and a channel called G4. they could get advertising there. G4 is channel that has nothing but video games... just done in different ways (like top 10 sellers of 2002... that kinda crap) but the point is, its all video game related material. they do EQ on there all the time. anyway rambling... ideas..

Hope they plan to do more ads in the future. It would be kool for there to be an average of 1k people online. That would force NC to make updates faster too I think. Would need extra hunting grounds.
If lin players really want more people playing they should recruit their friends and other people in the communities around them. I've gotten a couple of my friends and family playing now. It's fun having people that U know in RL playing.
