It'll probably be a mess after 8 years but you never know.

Really looking forward to it - I wonder after 8 years of development and so many changes in engine and even core gameplay - what the end result will be.

Well , what else aside from taking tasks in open world for leveling and doing extra grind in instances for gold ?

forgot to post the translated, relevent part:

NCsoft plans to conduct a CBT (Private Test) of its project release 'Project TL' in the first half of 2020. 'Project TL' is a new title of 'Lineage' IP, which was released in 2017, and is a next-generation game with the highest level of graphics based on Unreal Engine 4, real-time changing environment, and advanced siege. NCsoft said, “Project TL has decided to invest more time to improve the quality.” “We are developing to aim for CBT in the first half of 2020.”

A Lineage 1 sequel with proper Lineage elements and no P2W.... one can only dream. NCSoft unfortunately is getting greedier and greedier with more and more P2W events thrown at their games.

Are they still going with that "team" character gameplay style or whatever they first pitched? Where you have access to 3 different characters that you swap between.

The gave up on the team model. During the first interview back in 2017, devs said you would choose one of the first five L1 characters at launch: Knight, Mage, Elf, Dark Elf and Royals.

Never heard of the game but when i see NCSOFT<<<<,i just laugh because i have NEVER seen a good game come out of there.
I tried hard to like L2,was bland boring,i even tried That Lord British game that NCSOFT bought out ,it just looks like all the other KR dev studios,not very good.

So it "appears"they are  trying a sell job on the Unreal 4 engine and quality graphics?Yeah BDO has great graphics,RDR2 has great graphics,i need to see HQ game design,like all the systems and a world that feels like a real world with interaction.

Soooooooo i bit the bait and googled project TL....LMAO it's a Lineage remake..sigh.To me it looks more like a ARPG which seems to attract the type of gaming the KR audience enjoys.

My prediction...This game no matter what it does will end up being ONE thing,a castle siege game,pvp of which i have zero interest in pvp in a mmorpg.

The best of Lineage is it's guild war system for world pvp, the last thing Lineage fans want, especially in korea, is it to be is another boring WoW clone focused on instanced raids and BGs.

PvP in WoW is already trash due to its forced, static faction system. In Lineage it's the players that build their own factions(alliances). Instead of having the same red vs blue like in WoW, you can have several player made alliances in Lineage.

The last WoW clone NC invested over 100 million dollars, Wildstar, with its focus on hardcore instanced raids, died a terrible death.

Considering that this title is the next in line to the popular Lineage series, it show how "experienced" you are to mmorpgs, meaning not very.

Please move along if you don't care for it.  Considering how many people still play Lineage1, you won't be needed.

Color me intrigued then. I'll keep this on my radar since I found the team thing a little weird.

Lets also hope that first half of 2020 means first half of 2020 and not Neowiz's definition of "first half of the year" leading to shut down news.

Is this game getting a western release or is it like Lost Ark where people are just getting hyped up for a game that may not make it west

Lineage 1 has been Asia only for a while and Lineage 2 outside of Asia is on life support.

So, Lineage 3 will come out here but don't expect it for a long time.

AAAMEOW

Are there actually massive pve or pvp fight in Project TL or Lost Ark?

Or is it small instance with a few players?
