Lineage II Team Moving To California

News & Announcements Started Last reply 36 posts
Hey everybody,

Changes are happening at NCSOFT and we’re excited to announce that the Game Production Studio (GPS), which publishes both Lineage II and Aion, and staff will be relocating from Seattle to Southern California in the coming weeks. Making the move to Southern California gives GPS access to the country’s largest pool of industry professionals, which is certain to bring even greater success to our beloved franchises.

There will be no service interruptions to either Aion or Lineage II during this transition. Current game activities and new events will be deployed in a normal fashion throughout the next few weeks as we embark to our new locale. Likewise, server locations are not changing.

It will certainly be an exciting summer for both the players and the GPS team. As always, we thank you for your continued dedication and look forward to embarking on this new leg of our journey with you.

And don't forget to check out our upcoming major content update, Lineage II: Lindvior coming in May!
Can you make us some pics of your new office ?

Can you confirm that it will be the same timezone as currently ? (It's quite convenient to know that when I expect people on the board)

Could you publish any reason regarding this move ?
I live near Irvine, where the NCSoft office will be located according to Cryo. Can I come visit? :o ;) :p :D

Why do you keep saying this when there is no information on the new update? All we have are weak translations from players. The best of which cannot even be found on these boards. Even your silly announcement about mmorpg.com covering the new update contained zero information about the update itself. I laughed out loud at the poorly dubbed video that I assume we all saw months ago. What are you talking about?!
Yeah that's funny hahaha. Had to show Juji.

He probably won't get it. Kids these days. Lawn, etc.

Once we get there we might take and post some pictures.

Yes the timezone is the same.

The reason on the post pretty much covers it.
Will Spanish become the primary language on the forums? As I've heard, southern California has a significant Spanish speaking population.

You're reserving it for me right? hehehehe <3


Anyway, good luck on your move. I'm sure NCSoft will find many opportunities here.
West coast :( more ping delay
Rainy Seattle to CA... Don't forget your sunblock. Should also eat at Bear mountain Pizza in Dunlap if you drive down ;p
Gl and have fun with the traffic in Los Angeles area. I can assure you will not enjoy working there.

They are moving their offices, not the servers. I'm pretty sure the servers are still in Texas.

Actually on second thought, what about the Blade and Soul staff? DO THEY GET LOVE TOO?
There will be no service interruptions to either Aion or Lineage II during this transition.

Does this mean, that for some days all of Lineage II and Aion servers will offline? Or is it mean, that under these days maybe you won't make server transfer, class, gender or name changes services?

Anyway what is the reason why the NCwest move from Seattle to Los Angeles?
I like to read the Wikipedia and I did read, that Seattle is a very popular city between the Asian Companies like the NCsoft too.
But as we know Los Angeles is one of center of the entertainment in the US or in America all in the world:).
Is it mean NCsoft plans to open much more to western community?

Might be the release date of the Lindvior update still isn't public, but can you share with us, that the live version will release in the first or in the second half of May?:)

If i don't have miss read...they said "There will be no service interruptions to either Aion or Lineage II during this transition."

So actually i guess that nothing will stop XD
This explains all the banning and actual interest by the Lineage II staff on the Lineage II game.

Spring cleaning before the move, this should be interesting once you guys settle in we will fully see how laid back NCSoft is again.

You guy's do know that it's the same routine with Lineage II. Every year same time you clean house, before an update... clean house.

Word of advice since you are moving to a new building, take a formal stand. Either properly identify bots, or ignore them. Please stop picking and choosing your decisions rather than based on facts.
Oh snap, that means im going to the next L2/Aion block party ! About time you moved to the right place !

(lets be serious, throw a welcoming party just to start it off on a good note)
More jobs to come ? :D
Why, is it too cold or something?

West coast :( more ping delay

Servers won't be moving, just the team.

=NCRumbo= ??? :D

Didn't you know? He is "attending medical school".
West coast :( more ping delay

The servers are located in Texas. The offices are moving to California. Same ping delay. Don't worry. lol

Hey Juji, any chance the server could be moved to North Dakota? :D :D jk
Didn't you know? He is "attending medical school".

School doesn't start until August, and I delayed it anyway. :p
West coast :( more ping delay

Even if servers were located where their offices are, Seattle is west coast also so it wouldn't make a difference...
Is this move related to the WILDSTAR Release?

Thanks
