Netmarble Games Corp., the fastest-growing mobile game company in Asia, announced today that it released the infographic on the first fortress siege of its mobile MMORPG Lineage2 Revolution.

The fortress siege which took place on July 28 and players went through a competitive tender to take part in it. 2,771 bids took place to take over 96 fortresses for the English-speaking players.

The entire amount of adenas that clans paid for bidding reached 5 billion, with 22 million adenas being marked the highest bid price. The Spartacus clan recorded the fastest time to take over a fortress by defeating the opposing clan in just 82 seconds. One of the closest match was held at a temporary defense base fortress in the Gludio02 [1042] server. It was a close back and forth match, but the GravityTales clan became victorious as its lord TinolaX3m carved the opponent’s holy artifact first. With the fortress siege time limit set to 30 minutes, the match went on until 29 minutes and 48 seconds. There were also 22 clans who fought for 30 minutes and ended in a tie.

“The current fortress siege is a pre-season taking place before the regular season kicks off,” said Seungwon Lee, Chief Global Officer at Netmarble Games. “We expect players to experience a new excitement of fortress siege from this week, including the new formation of full-scale defensive and offensive structures.”

The fortress siege is a one-on-one clan battle between the two clans that were chosen in result of a bid. The fortress has various factors including defending the enemy team and increasing the abilities of clan members, so using this to the advantage is important. 

The clan that carves the opponent’s holy artifact first in the 30-minute long battle will win the fortress and be rewarded with bonus items and buffs, which will vary depending on the fortress seized. Fortress sieges will take place every Friday, and Netmarble will give away adenas, XP, and Proof of Blood to all fortress siege participants.

A massive mobile MMORPG leveraging Lineage2 IP, Lineage2 Revolution features stunning open field, characters, and clan system from the original. Boasting outstanding technical achievement powered by the Unreal 4 Engine, the game allows players to access all areas at once, providing a gameplay similar to that of the PC game experience.

Hitachi Moves from Challengers Quadrant to Leaders Quadrant; Evaluation Based On Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision

Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501), today announced it has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of the July 2017 Magic Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays by Gartner, Inc., a leading global research firm. Hitachi believes its significant growth and enhancements to its all-flash Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) F Series product line resulted in the company improving its position, moving it from the Challengers Quadrant to the Leaders Quadrant.

According to Gartner: “Vendors in the Leaders Quadrant have the highest scores for their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. A vendor in the Leaders Quadrant has the market share, credibility, and marketing and sales capabilities needed to drive the acceptance of new technologies. These vendors demonstrate a clear understanding of market needs; they are innovators and thought leaders; and they have well-articulated plans that customers and prospects can use when designing their storage infrastructures and strategies. In addition, they have a presence in all four major geographical regions, consistent financial performance and broad platform support.”

Hitachi’s continued investments in the development of its flash software and hardware technologies have resulted in the delivery of a superior enterprise storage offering for its customers, backed by the most flash-related patents in the industry. Hitachi VSP F1500, which first debuted in October 2016, was purpose-built for businesses with large-scale data management requirements—including mainframe. It provides seamless cloud tiering, integrated analytics software and a unique 100-percent data availability guarantee. All VSP F series models are enhanced with flat service pricing, ongoing media replacement, and quality of service (QoS) controls to provide consistent performance over time. For customers in highly regulated industries or where data security is mission critical, the VSP F series conforms with secure data eradication services and meets the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) data security control standards.

“Hitachi takes pride in bringing continuous breakthroughs to market that help our customers to be as competitive as possible in the digital age,” said Ryuichi Otsuki, CEO of Hitachi Data Systems. “We are pleased to be recognized as a leader in the solid-state array industry and we will continue to challenge industry standards, while positioning our customers to succeed.”
