As of late last year and earlier this year, Lineage was bringing in
about $5 million US per month, so NCSoft is monetizing the average
subscriber at around $3.30 US per month each.

Bear in mind also that the overwhelming number of Korean players are
doing so from Internet cafes.  This adds a social element to the game
that is hard to reproduce in the US, where the norm is a subscriber
logging in from home.

Or his deserts are small,
That dares not put it to the touch,
To gain or lose it all.
