in the Forums...Lighthouse has said that they are testing mostly back
end stuff, so really no one should see any difference in game play
but.....2 of the reasons for this is that they are moving the game to
be started via the NCSoft Launcher AND to be able to differentiate
accounts (existing/new/trial/free) so that they can eventually put
more limits on the trial/free accounts to cut down further on spam and
such
I'm not a particular fan of the Launcher but anything to cut down on
spam is a step in the right direction.
