Whoa!!!... Waitasec!!!... Hellllloooo!!!! <roadrunner coming to a screeching halt> Hold the fort!!! I don't know about you guys, and I have not read EVERY reply, but this could NOT POSSIBLY make sense! Let me do my best Jack McCoy here. If the announcement to close Paragon came on August 31, and the response was was on Oct 2, thats roughly 35 days, give or take a holiday, sick day, or staying home day to play COH. I am going to ASSUME that they want more than half a million dollars for the game, and I am really lowballing here. My next question is how long does it take to sell a house? It takes a couple of weeks for escrow and the monies have to be transferred form one account to another, most are not cash sales, and we know how long banks will take to transfer that money and other federal considerations. This whole process take about a month if you are the luckiest person on the planet. For most of the rest of us, this would take a long time. More than 35 days. Now NC is saying that in 35 days they have exhausted EVERY possibility? Anytime a corporation buys out another corp or part of a corp, the transfer takes months. Think lawyers, paperwork that needs to be filed, investors that need to be informed..... its not just signing a piece of paper and shaking a hand, we are not selling a car here. And they exhasuted every option in 35 days
?? How many options did they consider? 1? They would need to transfer their login servers, their payment and account servers, the actual server hardware and a multitude of other considerations like HR(insurance, payroll, etc) And they tried all this in 35 days
?!?! I never thought once that we would not stop the servers from shutting down temporarily, I dont even think 90 days is enough time, but I thought we woould have a chance to revive or restart the studio and maybe the game goes dark for a month or two. Just a real complicated process invovled here. And they exhausted every option in 35 days.... I have a concern we are not being told the truth here
. NCsoft should be a politician
.
Look, fight until we die, its worse to die with regret that you didn't try than if you died trying. We might not get it done by the 30th, but I'm fighting until NCsoft shuts off THEIR lights and locks THEIR doors. I'll bring the Bourbon...
