The computer game Lineage ranked top over foreign game of world War-craft according the 9th January news from National Assembly broadcasting. The Government also is planing to give the omnidirectional support to revive Korean game industry. It reveals the serious change of recognition that Lineage is not just a game in imaginative world. It is also quite true in the inside of the game. A game is not attractive enough to get user's attention for a long time if it focuses only to satisfy game user's trifling instinct. Lineage shows the aspect of sharp conflict of humans desire not in imaginative but real world. Moreover, it shows the various relational conflict as intention to awake current politics In this point, Lineage can be ‘a different version of current politics’. The vast blood pledge of Lineage copies the aspect of modern network life. The blood pledge system makes people recognize the war one of systems, proclaim permanent state of emergency to the world. Here, a individual is a changeable surplus being. The individual volunteerly enjoys to subordinate to ruling ideology and ask for mightier dictatorship. Rationality and irrationality coexist in current politics in Lineage. Though civic resistance like Baatz liberation war may be a rational intention to verify ruling ideology, majority's corruption makes to distinguish irrationality and rationality uncertain. In sum, Lineage shows ‘the gloomy portrait of today’ by ‘dual political discourse’ of virtue and evil, legality and illegality, power and resistance. Though capitalism is called the political microscopic diffusion, as more incessant the error of capitalist, more vast the size of politics. Merely it is not recognize as political reductionism, which is, all aspect like culture, society, economy, etc. return to politics is doubled dexterously. The reality is not usual and Lineage, which realize this reality, is more serious. This is why we have to pay attention to the game Lineage.
