“We have been preparing for Lineage W since 2017,” Lee said. But the second showcase for Lineage W was titled “Answer,” and the company answered questions sent via its website. Game companies usually hold one showcase prior to the release of a new game and do not take questions from players. “We will also allow players to trade items directly with each other at a commission rate so low that they won’t even realize it’s there,” said Lee. At Thursday's showcase, the company also explained that it will ditch many of the pay-to-win features that the previous Lineage mobile games had, such as items that could only be bought at the store and not earned, and benefits that were sold to users. Online games are typically hosted in different regions due to network issues. 'People from different countries will be able to log on to the same server and play simultaneously,' said Lee Sung-gu, head of the Lineage W Group. This will be the first multi-platform game from NCSoft to simultaneously be made available in all regions, though dates for North American and European releases have not been set. It will be first available Asian countries, including Korea, Japan and Taiwan, and later in the North American and European regions. Lineage W is an online massively multi-player roleplaying game (Mmorpg) available on mobile devices, computers and consoles.

Players will not be charged as much as in previous Lineage series games, game publisher NCSoft said on Thursday during the second online showcase event held prior to the release of the game. The Lineage W game will be released at midnight on Nov. Players of NCSoft's Lineage M mobile game held a protest in April using LED light trucks demanding the company offer refunds.

NCSoft has been bashed by game players since earlier this year for charging users extra for better items within the games to beat others - which is referred to as the pay-to-win business model - and using the model in many of its online games. The company will also continue to maintain the level and pricing on revenue-generating pay to win for two existing games, Lineage M and Lineage 2M. Exactly how it will adjust the offending practice wasn’t made clear, in terms of pricing and premium items made available. The game maker said that it will reduce the use of so-called pay to win in its new Lineage W game, which is set for release on Nov.

NCSoft has seen the errors of its ways, sort of. NCSoft held the second showcase, dubbed ″Answer,″ for its upcoming game Lineage W and answered questions from game players.
