Did you mean to say “will ArcheAge be anything like Lineage?” Well, which Lineage? Lineage 1 or Lineage 2? You probably already know that Jake Song worked directly on Lineage 1 and was present at NCsoft during Lineage 2’s development. Jake left NCsoft the same year Lineage 2 was released in Korea, however, and hasn’t had any control over the development of the game since.

Art design: ArcheAge and Lineage 1/2 will be somewhat visually similar due in part to the nature of the games’ content. All three games share a distinct Korean high-fantasy style. Another game that shares this style is Aion.

Story: ArcheAge’s story is based on the Korean myth of the creation of the world and the origin of mankind. Read about it! A popular Korean fantasy writer, Jeon Minhi, is working on ArcheAge’s stylized storyline.

Gameplay: We can’t say much about ArcheAge’s gameplay just yet, but you can see some fresh videos on YouTube. Early design documents called for eight races and two factions, but everything is subject to change based on how players react during betas.
