|
 |
| Quote: | In a complaint filed in New York federal court on Jan. 9, South Korea-based NCsoft, which specializes in massively multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPGs, says it has brought similar claims against Bluehole and its ex-employees in Korea, but that Bluehole is now planning to release an English-language version of its game in the U.S.
NCsoft maintains that Bluehole and its U.S. subsidiary En Masse Entertainment Inc. were founded by a group of NCsoft employees who quit to go into business for themselves in the midst of creating a new game called Lineage 3.
“These individuals did not leave NCsoft empty-handed or with benign intent,” the complaint alleges. “To the contrary, they made off with copious amounts of confidential and proprietary NCsoft information, computer software, hardware and artwork relating to Lineage 3.” |

It'll derail talk about the thread and people bitching and whining about it for however many pages, instead of discussing the game itself.

I was more shocked that, a legitimite court case sprung up. The news is too saturated with Apple suing someone every 3 times a week.

i honestly used to like NCsoft back when i played CoX.
i made the mistake of updating it to see if i cared again yet, now i hate them, fucking free to pay bullshit, $720 i spent dragging them along over four years of subscription to CoX, hell i even kept it subscribed when i didn't give a shit enough to play knowing that my vet rewards would be all the value i'd need.... and now... i can't access content i've purchased an expansion to be granted access to, apparently been locked out of all but 3 of my characters (enough extra slot tokens for 15+ per server, probably more) and really have to wonder why the fuck i cared.

NCSoft is horrendous.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

My favorite was when they fired Richard Garriott while he was in space and claimed he quit and exercised his stock options in the middle of a down market. Then when he gets back to earth he sues them for nearly 30 million
