What is money to NCSoft?

Not a really constructive post here, but i regards an Open Source CoH, I've long thought how cool it would be to have an Open Source MMO, where there was one engine powering it, but people would have their own servers and potential content that ran on it that anyone could access- you could have a CoH style server universe; an Old Rome server; a space server; etc.

Maybe i overlooked something but it said GW1 made less than CoX right? If this has been explained sorry but it doesn't make sense to me that CoX got cut but not GW1...Also, all CoX needed was a little cheap adverising. With all the superhero movies and stuff the people just needed a little push.

I noticed that, too.  The only thing I could think of is that they wanted to keep GW1 open long enough for players to transition to GW2 before shutting it down.

That seems to be the biggest reason, alright. As well, there seems to have been a bit of tension between Paragon and NCSoft over how to manage the game because of this. Paragon was just as focused on the Western market.
