NCSoft has set up steps to validate that the company managing the IP and running the game can do so.
So far they have accepted each step. If they don't then hopefully they would allow another effort to improve or change whatever NCSoft wasn't happy with. To us each bit of news we live and die on - to NCSoft it is selling something they don't want anyways and don't want to spend a lot of resources on.
Perspective.
We say - gimme, gimme, gimme - they say hey, Chen from the mail room will take your information and we will get back to you. We have their attention now and it is being worked - just slowly, in all honesty it might be that a year end tax thing or blip of cash that pushes up the bottom line is the thing that makes them hurry a bit.
