It's actually NCSoft's attempt to crack the Konami Code.

Is that the one that gives you $999,999,999,999 for no effort and gives you infinite lives so that your mistakes bring no penalties?

Infinite shame.

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Ahhh, they're back below 150,000, and closer to where they belong.  My overwhelming desire for schadenfreude derived from NCsoft is momentarily massaged.

Somehow it brings to mind that weird rendition of "Row, row, row my boat" from "Hackers".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbcxf8PWg_U#t=4967s
 ;D
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.

Kaiser Tarantula, thanks for the NCSoft stock link. It's more dramatic when you click the ytd or 1 yr, you'll find their stock dropping is readily apparent since the COH closure announcement,

http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/chart?symbol=036570.KS

If I were an NCSoft stockholder I'd be VERY WORRIED.

As COH fan I'm very happy to see this. I really hope NCSoft goes under and is forced to sell off COH to satisfy investors!

Call me too blueside, but I'm hoping they just see it in their best interest to sell off their old IP they aren't using. If they did that, I know I'd be happy to say they've learned to show more respect to their playerbase and other people would too. They'd make a big chunk of profit, and be ready to turn towards a new golden age. Would CoH players be their customers again? Unlikely. But I know I might wince at their name then say "at least they learned from the experience."

Here's to hoping.

I agree with that. If they go under they'll drag as many studios unfortunate enough to work for them down with them and cost plenty of jobs, so I'd rather they realize selling CoH is in their best interests and leave them to do what they fancy after selling.

I wouldn't want to see anyone else out of work, but right now I'm selfish enough to want CoX back any way I can get it.
(so, I guess I have a more Rogue/Vigilante opinion? or Praetorian Loyalist maybe {"as long as it helps me, I could care less what else happens"}?)

Actually, the best view is the six-month view, where you have the color change under the line between August and September, which makes it easy to see when the closure announcement went out. And their stock goes up until the 7th, then we held the Unity rally and their stock started its nosedive.

Bearing in mind this is only one reporter talking to me, so who knows...but "Joe," the reporter that interviewed me for the Korean times, indicated at the feeling at the paper is that NCSoft is giving at least some of those analysts kickbacks for their glowing recommendations.  He also indicated that this is by no means out of the ordinary over there.  If I were to hazard a pure guess, it is that most stockholders are aware of this and not listening to the analysts.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

It still raises the question, even if all those analysts are recommending buy - why isn't anyone doing that?

If there is a price on the stock that's fluctuating, it's because some people are buying it. Don't worry. Just not enough to make the price rise.
Yeeessss....

Yeah. In order for a stock to move at all, it means someone is buying something. It just means that someone is buying the low-price stuff hoping for a spike back up later.
