인기 온라인 게임 리그오브레전드(League of Legends, 이하 롤)의 서버 점검이 주말에 이어 27일에도 계속되면서 유저들의 불만을 증폭시키고 있다.
라이엇게임즈는 애초에 지난 23일 정기 점검을 시작했으나 중국 상하이에서 롤 올스타전이 진행된 주말에 이르기까지 서버가 불통을 일으켰다.
게다가 월요일 아침부터 8시간 동안 다시 서버 점검이 지속되자 롤 유저들은 트위터와 블로그 등을 통해 불만을 토로하는 글을 올렸다.
라이엇게임즈는 경쟁사인 앤씨소프트와 블리자드 엔터테인먼트를 가볍게 꺾고 장기간 한국 게임 시장 점유율 1위를 지켜왔다.

“League of Legends” suffers setback in Korea over server issue
South Korea’s most popular online game “League of Legends” has suffered problems with its servers, touching off a storm of complaints from disgruntled users on Monday.
The U.S.-based game company Riot Games, developer and publisher of the multi-user game, is now under fire for protracted maintenance periods, which make it impossible for gamers to log on to the system and play with friends.
The game’s maintenance period began Thursday and users became impatient as the game system remained either closed or unstable. Tensions ran high especially during the weekend when the game’s All-Star Shanghai 2013 championship was held.
As the server went down again for eight hours on Monday, Korean users started to post a large number of complaints on Twitter and blogs.
Riot Game’s LOL has been dominating the Korean game market for an extended period, easily outsmarting local rivals such as NCsoft and even U.S. competitor Blizzard Entertainment.
