Gamespot has done an interview with the CEO of NCsoft about Lineage - The Bloodpledge, their successful MMORPG. Here's a outtake (this seems to be a very popular question lately *g*):

    GS: How does Lineage differentiate itself from all the other online games such as Ultima Online and EverQuest?

    TK: Lineage provides distinctive features in terms of offering elements that compose a social community. Group play and constant real-time communication among players has resulted in creating tightly bound social groups that have evolved into actual communities in reality, and thus became more than just a game to the participants. The simple interface and game rules have brought upon the widespread adoption of the RPG games, which were mostly driven by hard-core mania gamers.
