Just a thought...

Why not take a hint from what gay rights activist Dan Savage did to Rick Santorum's name by using Google search? it does not appear to have had any legal challenges.

We could directly associate NC Soft with the "MMO Killer" meme.

Though in a technical aspect I get what you are suggesting that we do, even the vaguest association with the tactics of Dan Savage makes me feel filthy in a visceral sense.

I could say something similar about what Santorum advocates but it, like your comment really has no relevance to this subject.

Hmm? I took it as Atlantea disapproving of the methods used by the person, not of what he was actually fighting for.

It was just an example of another point that isn't relative to this topic. I could have made a similar reference to how he dresses or what sports team he likes and made the same point.

To Ncsoft: To mercilessly and callously kill off a game, even a profitable one

Something like that?

I posted this in my own thread (before I spotted this one), but there is a precedent to this.  Do a search for Shell Oil, Greenpeace, and Hoax, and you'll get a result that shows something along these lines:

Greenpeace and a group known as the Yes Men created "parodied" Shell Oil websites to raise "awareness" about Shell's drilling in the Arctic Ocean.  They created Twitter feeds, a Facebook page, and a website where people could create "ads" that parodied work that Shell's ads.  They had successes with these kinds of campaigns against other companies, but it didn't do well against Shell, because they chose (much like NCSoft with us) to ignore it.
