[Bloodshed]

Well, Lineage 1 Servers...

Huh! Bye Bye Lineage 1

[hope]

more players for private servers when it does close

[Dinamitas]

Somehow Lineage 1 reminds me to diablo 2

[ZaKaX]

Any idea how many servers left they've had? and approx. how many players?

[Bloodshed]

I think there were 3 servers + PTS, no idea about the playercount.

[momo61]

are there even any lineage 1 private servers?

This is what will happen to lineage 2 in the next 3-5 years :/ The worst thing is that when the punkasses close a game they don't release the server files and it is not fair toward players who have supported the game from the beginning :/

As an example: Tabula Rasa :/

Releasing it would mean that another company could pick it and still make money from it (ofc with a worst service)

[jurchiks]

They could at the very least sell the files for big money, at least the newbs and not-so-serious people wouldn't be able to get them that way.

Come on NCZ0ft keep lineage 1 up and running for your dedicated fans, what will it cost over there XD

[jurchiks]

You know NCZ0ft is only focused on income; no income - no game. The only reason they do updates is to pull new people in (unfortunately at a cost of a part of old players). And it does cost money to keep several high power servers up and running 24/7 with all the maintenance costs and stuff. Not that they don't have the money, they're just "businessmen".

[Bloodshed]

Also would not be fair to the korean players, their servers are still online.

Besides everyone that starts a online game knows at some point the servers are gonna be taken down, many games won't even make 10 years.

[jurchiks]

The word "even" is probably not in place here; 10 years for a game is A LOT of time, I don't even know any game that's been really popular for 10+ years (not counting classics - they might be popular but they aren't played much every day).

Lineage is closing to the 10 year monument I'm waiting for Blade & Soul anyway ^^
