My bad.  The one day chart page at Reuters mentions the exchanged closed on the 19th for a national holiday.  Didn't notice that before and yes, it's because of election day.

Came across this on a Facebook page. Thought i'd post it here as it may have some effect on NC stock ( not completely certain about that but hey ).

Seems quite a lot of accounts on a new Lineage II server have been randomly banned for apparently no reason and that is never good for business.

Oh NCSoft/Nexon...when will you learn to stop screwing over your playerbase?

Hopefully not until they declare bankrupcy. :p
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

They already appear morally bankrupt.

Does that count?

Which appears on the surface a automated script that ran amuck.  Reminds me of the great AE ban or before mARTY was fine tuned.

Looking around in their forums I found this post from their CM.

I like how after that post there's not a single post saying thanks, it's fixed now. Every last one is either saying the CM is flat wrong and they're still banned when they presumably shouldn't be, or people complaining about bots. :p

Totally off-topic tangent, but the comment about people complaining about 'bots made my brain jump to this:

An MMO that uses the Transformers IP and reports hundreds of thousands of player characters, each actually controlled by a 'bot.

"Robots in Disguise."

A friend of mine has a status message indicating they got an A in a class for programming a robotic car.

If these bots can do that too (the car bit, not the programming bit) then I am behind you 500%.

Transform, and roll out!

The latest  stock pricing has me cackling maniacally.  They're almost back to Dec 6th levels of stock price suckitude.  Right now, they're as bad off as they were on Apr 20, 2010.
