Lineage Classic teaser hit 12 million views in just 8 days.
User reaction is basically: 'If cash items drop, I'm rage-quitting (kko-jeop) immediately.'
People are demanding the old-school way: just a subscription fee, with everything else being player-driven.
Streamers have also threatened to quit if cash items appear, so NC won't be able to easily add monetization beyond the sub fee.
Supposedly, NC realized through Aion 2 that they can still make bank even without heavy BM (monetization).
They finally realized for the first time that revenue just follows naturally if you have enough active players...
This is what a new server 'open-run' looked like back when Lineage was in its prime.
I'm expecting 3x more players than this during the initial 3-day free period for Lin-Classic.
Predicting a total swarm of both RMT farmers (ssal-meok) and nostalgia-junkies.
The fields are definitely going to turn into 'Uehara Running Man' chaos.
Expect a whole mob of people chasing down a single monster.
"Users are calling out NCSoft for finally playing their 'no-monetization' card only because their 'dog meat' brand image is in the gutter."
