Magazine is in english, and sold in the US/Canada.  In the US
market, calling Lineage second-tier is generous, Jumpgate might have
more customers in the states than Lineage.  It's definitely too big
too ignore, even if nobody can explain why.  Myself, I think the
secret to Lineage is pretty simple, Bloodpledge's (more than just a
guild, they tend to be players from the same internet bhang) and
their territorial dominance gameplay with castles and sieges (a form
of PGC that works *very* well for them).
