Heh! I love you guys.
Okay, the "high road" is to convince NCSoft it's in their best interests to sell. We're using both carrot (pitching to bring offers) and stick (pissin' in their cereal.)
The "low road..." I understand NCSoft's trampled on prior attempts. However, if within the period of time it would take to set up the low road (let's say two years,) they continue to be recalcitrant, we might have to explore... other options.
As "the low road" would pacify us, they might actually leave us alone, rather than stir up the hornet's nest all over again. If they do bother us... we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
We'd have full power. Roll back I-13 PVP changes? Can do. Tail-capes? Can do.
So... I say damn the torpedoes. Best of luck to y'all brave programmers on... whatever y'all are doing.
