Well, Lineage 1 Servers...

http://www.lineage.com/news/na_servers_closing_629.html

Huh! Bye Bye Lineage 1

more players for private servers when it does close

Somehow Lineage 1 reminds me to diablo 2

Any idea how many servers left they've had? and approx. how many players?

I think there were 3 servers + PTS, no idea about the playercount.

are there even any lineage 1 private servers?

This is what will happen to lineage 2 in the next 3-5 years :/ The worst thing is that when the punkasses close a game they don't release the server files and it is not fair toward players who have supported the game from the beginning :/

As an example: Tabula Rasa :/

Releasing it would mean that another company could pick it and still make money from it (ofc with a worst service)

They could at the very least sell the files for big money, at least the newbs and not-so-serious people wouldn't be able to get them that way.

Come on NCZ0ft keep lineage 1 up and running for your dedicated fans, what will it cost over there XD

You know NCZ0ft is only focused on income; no income - no game. The only reason they do updates is to pull new people in (unfortunately at a cost of a part of old players). And it does cost money to keep several high power servers up and running 24/7 with all the maintenance costs and stuff. Not that they don't have the money, they're just "businessmen".

Also would not be fair to the korean players, their servers are still online.

Besides everyone that starts a online game knows at some point the servers are gonna be taken down, many games won't even make 10 years.

The word "even" is probably not in place here; 10 years for a game is A LOT of time, I don't even know any game that's been really popular for 10+ years (not counting classics - they might be popular but they aren't played much every day).

Lineage is closing to the 10 year monument I'm waiting for Blade & Soul anyway ^^
