This is also possibly interesting: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/04/ncsoft-undergoing-realignment/
Huh.  This might point to why City of Heroes was shut down, but hopefully it won't stop them from selling the IP.  Actually, if they plan on withdrawing from the West (as the article gently implies), maybe they'd be encouraged to sell?

And the comment about "hoping GW2 isn't affected" makes me want to set something on fire.

 :) Oh, this is most excellent.  And I was so impressed with Mercedes' description of the online gaming community experience -- one of the most poignant I've read to date.  Hope springs eternal.

Is anyone able to find if the article was reprinted in one of the affiliated Korean-language papers, like Hankook Ilbo? (Wikipedia is my friend... ;))
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."

This article is making the rounds. I've had two friends who are unaffiliated with SaveCoH--though they support our efforts--both link me the article today alone. I want to thank both authors of the article-- Cho Mu-hyun and our very own VV -- for putting together a great interview-based article that really voices our view of things.

This fight is far from over, and if NCSoft thinks we're going to shut up, they've got another thing coming.

Can anyone verify this?:

If so, that makes me smile a bit. If they want out of the market, fine, but setting the whole shop up and blowing it up with dynamite while waving their junk out the window of a helicopter as they fly away should come with some form of punishment, and if that quote's true, as I said, that makes me smile.

So...  if NC Soft's stock drops far enough, can we buy it up and then hold a majority vote in it's shareholder meetings?

Remember the whole "first they ignore you?" bit. Now they are being forced into fighting mode.

We've won, they just don't know it yet.

We've got them -right- where we want them...2 nad kicks in less than 24 hours(one of them on their own front-porch)!

I honestly believe now, that ONE more solid shot will do it...remember Star Trek and NBC...we've got to finish it now!  :D

From "exhausted all options" to "nothing had been decided on selling the game or other action afterwards"

Intressting what intelligent marketing specialists NC-Soft have. This article is just great. :)

I'm glad Bob found a job with NCSoft PR though, I wondered where he would end up.

Holy crap. I never thought in a million years they'd consider selling COH. If that happens I have a lot of apologizing to do, and which I look forward to doing! Awesome news.

I really needed this news today.  Thank you, Ms. Lackey.  Your comments were spot on and reflect the feelings of all of us.

NCSoft...me'thinks you are realigning yourselves into a much deserved early grave.  RIP

I love being a Hero and I am so very proud of this community.  Another round of letters to the Mouse..coming right up! ;D
