Chaos, thanks for taking my concern seriously.
I don't want to ring the emergency sirens prematurely, but yeah, it would not surprise me if NCSoft either claimed they'd erased files to make us shut up and go away, or sold an ancient version of the game as a final gesture to us. The counter-arguments rely upon a rational person in power, but as history has shown, tinpot tyrants don't like to have their authority defied, and will do all manner of irrational things out of spite. In fairness, Kim and co. would have to be inhuman if the anti-NCSoft memes we've created didn't leave them seething. My unnamed source aside, I suggest this would be in character for them.
I appreciate your measures, but I'm not sure we can cover all the possibilities, particularly in the time remaining. How can a non-techy like me help?
