Plaync Japan, the Japanese portal of NCSoft, are now launching 'purchasable' items on Lineage II. It is intriguing in that Lineage II is originally traditional fixed-fee based game. As not so many items are on the shelve, change in NCSoft's strategy is more meaningful. Are micro-transactions able to be applied to fixed-fee based game? Do micro-transactions go well with typical MMORPG design?

According to a source unnamed, early sales record in Japan is impressive. Is this a symptom of a change in traditional business model by a Korean giant?
