AFTER several months of beta testing, the multiplayer online game Lineage II will soon go commercial, according to an executive of game publisher Asian Media.
In an interview, Asian Media chief operating officer Ronald Allan Aquino said the announcement to go commercial will be on Jan. 12 but the actual commercial start will happen soon after.
The game will also have a simultaneous launch in the Philippines and Malaysia. Singapore, where Asian Media also distributes Lineage II, will have related activities after the launch in Malaysia.
Aquino noted that the game will be pay-to-play and will make use of top-up cards. For the Philippines, the denominations will be P20 for one day of playing, P50 for three days of playing, P100 for one week and P350 for one month.
The top-up cards will be available days before the Jan. 12 announcement. There will also be different sets of top-up cards for Malaysia and Singapore.
Aquino said Lineage II currently has 400,000 registered players.
