And with 250,000 sold in the first 24 hours, i see alot more servers, we still have a Europe and Korea release to go, and Blizzard are huge in korea.
Deacan said:The only reason Linage has so many is because of the way online gaming works there, most of them play in Internet Cafes.
The Cafe buy about 50 subs, say if a person goes to the NetCafe, gets a Linage account, plays it for one day and never returns, that will still count towards there 250,000, once the NetCafe use all their account, even if its for one day, they go and buy anuther 50.
Linage has no way near that in active account, to bad no charts show active account, and only how many total accounts.

Ning said:250,000 isn't that big compared to the 2 millions of players of Lineage (I) in South Korea.
Halo 2 - 2.4 million copies on the first day.Vantros of the Delerium said:um isnt that what was sold in the first 24hours of the game being released in the us?? Its the biggest selling game ever in a 24 hour period.. and in Korea they have been begging for its release..
Thats exactly why there are 8x servers now. Not 72. :OLordjOX said:250 000 accounts / 3000 (server cap) gives out ~83 so ;o
Just to see how many that pays after the free month etc :x
