The Korean action MMO Lineage Eternal launches today in Korea its focus group test.
According to MMOCulture, a first, still very small focus group test starts today for Lineage Eternal. It is set to last until June 26.
Participants in the test are mainly students from the university in Seoul. However, some “non-Korean” students are also expected to take part in the test. After all, the intention is to release the game not only in South Korea but also outside of it.
According to NCSoft, the development of Lineage Eternal is “on schedule.”
The Lineage MMORPGs are incredibly popular in Korea. The first one, despite its biblical age of 17 years for an MMO, still brings in plenty of money for NCSoft. However, with Lineage Eternal, they aim to go in a somewhat different direction, as initial images and ideas resemble Diablo III. Korean analysts strongly associate the fate of the publisher, known here in the West for Guild Wars 2, with the fortunes of Lineage Eternal.
