'Episode In Lineage World', the First Synchronous Global Event by Lineage
Seoul, South Korea, December 13, 2002—NCsoft™ Corporation (CEO & President, Tack Jin Kim) announced the opening of a global event, "Episode In Lineage World", from today until the 15th of next month in an effort to discover uniquely diverse cyber cultures existing in Lineage service areas around the world through which Lineage gamers can come together to form common bonding.

The event offers Lineage gamers living in Lineage regular service areas, including Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong, with an exception of the United States, to make an online application for a touching episode or interesting story they have experienced, in the form of movie clips or manuscript. The prize-winning stories selected by each region will be translated into different languages for all gamers to enjoy. The contest is expected to add to the excitement and self-esteem of Lineage gamers worldwide, creating a new level of recognition of online games among the general public.

NCsoft CEO Tack Jin Kim said, "Online games will be recognized as a new cultural code in the digital era and will be able to make steady growth only when gamers learn to accept sound values by experiencing virtual functions of online games either directly or second-hand and overcoming vice functions at the same time." He also added, "I hope that this event becomes the cornerstone for building social infrastructure that enables the establishment of such cultural environment".

The announcement of the prize winning episode of "Episode In Lineage World" will be made on the 15th next month to be followed by its disclosure. NCsoft plans to give a 7-day European tour package to the World Prize winner, the best prize on the list, as well as other types of various free gifts, including Lineage character products and free user pass for Lineage. In addition, a souvenir will be given to all winners.

I don't think they can make it in the U.S. due to regulations about giving away prizes. That is the main reason that the Lineage Tournaments didn't get here. I am sure someone more versed with the laws could explain it more fully...

That's very rude to EXCLUDE any1 from participating in such BIG events especially the US because we love the game so much. If the cant have certain countries included in event then there shouldnt be an event at all is what i think about this bs.

Screw #3, #3 can go to hell. If it's really the law that forbids international contests or what have you, then NC should say it. NC should at least give that reason or "a" reason. Not it's a global event and that they wanna gather diverse cultures of the world, except the US. man they suck, NC korea hates us, so I say screw them and the hell with their soft ac and 10% loss upon deaths!

Why should we read number 3? Everyone alwas complains how the "usa" lineage service is really the international lineage service. You cant have a global event if your excluding your "international" service.
