Calling me a liar and fabricator, you're either a troll or an a-hole looking for a fight. Shoo! Go away!
Neither one.
As you said, people must be drinking the Kool-Aid, if they basically overall didn't take up arms against NCSOFT and believe NCSOFT, they said so.
yet, we are supposed to drink your Kool-Aid and believe the exaggerations and made reasons?
Maybe they did make every effort maybe they didn't but there haven't been solid evidence provided that points to them that they fabricated anything. Although, there is plenty of fabrication of reasons attributed to NCSOFT for the shut down and being used as why people should be upset at NCSOFT. Maybe they may be on to something maybe not. And it seems clearer that it's mostly angry talk taking over completetly and assumptions running rampant because when anyone even mention, "is there evidence of what you say is true? That NCSOFT decision makers seen AP33 in game, that they did it with malicious intent and hate, that they ignored AP33", it's called trolling.
Usually people go straight to the trolling thing to avoid answering and accounting for the untruths in their statements or to switch the subject so they wont have to address their own illogical statements. There might as well be which evidence that NCSOFT in fact did and was in game personally during AP33, which would nullify the statement that they never played their own game. Maybe they did have ill reasons to close but then that would nullify the statement that the did it for no reason. But then if they gave no reason for closing the game, how would know if they had a reason or not?
The just of what I'm saying no movement no matter the just cause or admirable cause it has survive long and make an impact based upon assumptions, made up reasons, and baseless accusations. To make a movement have the impact it desires, no matter how angry, stick to the known provable facts and present them. That is the most powerful way to get noticed. Keep with the assumptions and etc. then one, that is no better than entity they are rallying about and accusing of doing such a thing when they do the same thing themselves, two people will listen for a while and sympathize for a bit but then usually start asking for the facts and or just pass it off, "Those people are still angry" and not be considered a reliable source on the matter. Like someone spoke of organizing something like a log off day. It's possible and can be done but no one is going to take it serious when the activist group is basically a pot is calling the kettle black situation. And thus far, as we have seen that is exactly what happened. While it's popular here on this site, overall, no one cares for it. It was entertaining for a bit, but now it's mostly being ignored and nearly forgotten about. Most are focusing on the projects, private servers, and not giving money to NCSOFT instead of sitting around still steaming and ranting and raving and being angry 24/7. Those are the people that let NCSOFT win. It shows that NCSOFT have so much power that they still even have as much of a grip on their emotions and thought process that they have on the COX IP. I'm not saying forget, and anger can be good as it can spur all types of good things and motivation but uncontrolled anger to the point where it keeps people in the mud creating mud to sling, it's not healthy and not helpful at all to the cause.
Me personally I viewed AP33 as more than just trying to show NCSOFT. It was to show people that there is still people that is ready to actually do something. And sitting around constantly "Hate NCSOFT!" is not considered doing something. It's like that person who after years is still sitting around talking about their ex-partner and while their partner got remarried, started a new family and not even thinking about them anymore. It comes off as merely bitter. Not heroic, not resilient, which requires taking that hurt not letting the cause of that hurt have that much control and doing what you have to do. There are plenty of ways to get back at NCSOFT if it suits your fancy. Pick a way and do it. But sitting around letting your mind and emotions be a slave to NCSOFT is not progress and not winning against NCSOFT. That is NCSOFT winning against you. They took your game, and are you going to let them still after a year and beyond keep you mind too? They made the game and owned it but I doubt they created your mind. You probably existed prior to COX and remember to exist after COX.
