NCSoft said on Monday it is taking legal action against operators of illegal private servers for its Lineage game, accusing them of copyright infringement and causing user harm. The company said the Seoul Central District Court approved its request for a provisional seizure of bank accounts linked to four private servers: Love, Skull, Lightning and Aura. NCSoft said it is also pursuing a damages lawsuit against the operators.

A bill proposed by Democratic Party lawmaker Cho Seung-rae to fully revise South Korea\'s game industry law has entered parliamentary debate. Experts say the draft would effectively redraw the legal framework by separating arcade and online games, scrapping prize restrictions for digital games and shifting online ratings to private operators. Key disputes include web board game prize rules, possible changes affecting P2E games, provisions targeting illegal programs and private servers, and a governance overhaul of related agencies.
