As NCsoft’s ‘Lineage W’ succeeded in attracting users’ attention, it was confirmed that it ranked first in sales in Apple’s App Store in Korea and Taiwan.
This was a result of less than a day after launch, and it is interpreted that it is because a large number of users waiting for Lineage W’s release have flocked to it.
According to NCsoft on the 4th, the mobile PC cross-play MMORPG Lineage W ranked first in Apple’s sales in Korea and Taiwan.
Lineage W is a new game that was officially released in 12 countries including Taiwan at 00:00. The game supports action in 3D quarter view, an artificial intelligence (AI) translation system, cross-play without distinction of mobile, item trading between individuals, and large-scale siege warfare.
It is estimated that many users flocked to the game on the first day of its release. This is because users can see with their own eyes that hunting grounds such as major villages, fields, and dungeons are full. In some areas, the balance between the number of users and the number of monsters did not match.
Some in the industry also evaluated that Lineage W had risen to the top of the box office within the first day of its release beyond the box office signs. Although it was provided as a global one-build, a high level of graphic directing was realized, and it seems that the main factor was that it led to a positive evaluation by reducing the burden of billing.
