@Neutron ~ NcSoft

I have a serious question for @Neutron. Since NC has publicly announce that Master X Master is shutting down in Jan 31st what does this mean for Lineage 2?

What about Juji will he be brought back to the Lineage project?

Will this effect the L2 store in a negative way while NC tries to regain the amount of money that was refunded to the Master X Master players?

I understand that it is always a hard choice for a company to close down a game but does this mean that the people who were supporting Master X Master will be shuffled into new projects like Lineage 2 and or Aion ect?

Thank you for your response I am sure there are many people here who appreciate it.

While Juji hasn't actively worked on L2 since his transition, we still ask for his opinions on certain matters. There are definitely (good) plans for Juji, but none I can comment on just yet.

The funnier part is that they needed to scam L2 player base to afford an emo game that didn't last 3 months.

Hoyah

Juji is currently helping us on Lineage II already, and is reviewing the Lineage II Classic project.

As far as the business plans for Lineage II, our focus is on improving the existing user experience and bringing better value to existing systems and releasing content updates with a smaller gap from when they are released in Korea originally. With the recent release of Lineage II Revolution on Mobile and a huge ad campaign by Netmarble (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80zpMNrEi20) the awareness of Lineage in the west is bigger than ever and we expect positive growth to continue into the future.

Internal organization and personnel changes I cannot provide a comment on, my focus is on running Lineage II here and making sure my teams have what they need to do their jobs.

Complete L2 Community about 1) 2) and 6) to 16): "Yes! Signed!"

Hope Juji dont comeback, lying 24/7

This is simply not true. Please go troll somewhere else.


@ Infami:
Auto-pickup adena was introduced in Korea on October 19, 2016:

It should be part of the Salvation update :)

Not sure how everyone skipped over this. Hopefully you guys don't blow this idea.

Hope they totally blow this idea, focus on the real L2 and dont waste resources for failures like that "classic".

You're a clown, to think this current game has anything to do with "real" L2.

oh hai j0n, welcome back :D

leave all good days, bright future and "the real l2s" to the communists

no wonder they are leaving their innova and playing here, despite all the classics and dragon weapon events

Since players mostly come into contact with outsourced support staff who only has a database knowledge of the game, they tend to underestimate NCsoft. Nothing will be blown here. As a short reminder, Juji has been around for a long time and learned producering from the bottom up, first as Moderator, then as Production Assistant -> Assistant Producer -> Producer -> Lead Producer. Please everybody read again what he wrote in his farewell post:
http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?p=3552777#post3552777
The "brink in 2011" he mentions there is what you will find outlined here:
http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=407#p6002 (on October 26 the executive behind those layoffs paid a horrible price)
And he, as a Lead Producer, accompanied the downfall of MxM:
http://www.playmxm.com/en/news/mxm-says-farewell

Juji deeply knows what is necessary to make a game commercially successful (that's the only thing that counts) and he also knows what makes a game fail. And he is also levelheaded enough to see the difference between the hype that Netmarble generates around Lineage 2 Revolution and the actual revenue this game will or will not generate in the next few months. Read what Neutron wrote: Juji is reviewing the Lineage 2 Classic project. If it can be profitably done, it will be done, and if it will just be a money sink like MxM, it won't be done. Enthusiasm, good days and a bright future don't come into this. It's all about money and nothing but money.

To get an idea about the numbers involved, check what I wrote in the second paragraph here:
