The company highlighted Lineage Classic, plans for Aion2 and the integration of Germany\'s JustPlay.

NCSoft said its first-quarter revenue rose 54.7 percent from a year earlier to 557.4 billion won, helped by consecutive hits from new releases Aion2 and Lineage Classic. Operating profit jumped 2,070.1 percent to 113.3 billion won and net profit rose 306.4 percent to 152.4 billion won. PC game sales hit a quarterly record.
