Lineage II: Revenue Quadrupled, Player-base Has Increased 800%

NCsoft's Lineage II has turned into free-to-play model with the release of the Goddess of Destruction expansion since Nov. 30 last year. How did the F2P model go during the past two months? Well, from the figures NCsoft released today, I should say that is impressive.

According to MMORPG.com, NCSoft has almost quadrupled its revenue in two months and the concurrent player base has increased more than 800%. In order to accommodate the influx of new players, the number of servers has more than doubled. More than 250,000 players have enjoyed the Path to Awakening service, which provides helpful buffs, items and advice to accelerate new characters towards the level cap. Additionally, thanks to an active and still growing community, fans have also "liked" the game's Facebook page more than 280,000 times!

Lineage II adopts a "truly free-to-play" model and completes with no account restrictions. It has no doubt that the game's switching into F2P model is a big success. If you'd like to learn more about the game, just head over to the official site.
