Seriously though, I don't think the NCSoft Global site has been updated in a while, half the email contacts under 'contact us' are dead as a doornail and you just get failure at webmaster notifications back.

That disrespect they shoved us is unforgiveable in my opinion.

I'd be lying if I said I would not be considering all my options when there are other superhero MMOs to consider.
I'm just very grateful there are going to be other MMO options available for spandex-clad adventures.

The company is clearly haemorraging departments left right and centre in what is clearly the worst internal shake-up for years.
The lack of communication to subscribers and very public embarrasment for internal staff shown by the parent company could very well mean that even when the dust has settled and the new leaner meaner NCNC steps forward - there may not be many left who care to give a damn.

Gracious, this is all turning rather political! - em,cower

I've emailed practically every global NCSoft PR department I can think of on three continents and let them know in no uncertain words exactly what I think of the current situation, and pointed them the way of this thread.

All I can say is if somebody... anybody doesn't get back to us to let us know what is happening - then I'm sorry but there is something fundamentally wrong with the company as a global business. There is no business scenario including a company takeover that warrants total communication blackout for your customers.

How NCsoft should have done their layoffs

...and Its very interesting source article: NCWest: Stage 1 complete; Farewell, European MMO Industry!

Yeah thats how they draw you closer then *Snicktt* - yellow rodent choppers sunk into your face.

Gawd, Its not the spiders you've got to worry about in Oz... Its the mice!.

- you entering the running JD? - we need new stock, this is getting tacky.

I oat to hoof seen that one coming, but thats ok GG - I have the stamina to last the stretch.

I say we just roan with it.

Golden Girl, step in the ring with me and you'd better have some back-up to bale you out if you suddenly find yourself horse, I'm not saying your puns aren't giving me unbridled amusement but Mumsie is #No:1 barn-none.

[EDIT]: We really should saddle someone with keeping track of all these.

OooH! - a triple barrel opener huh?

Whinny ya gonna start with the real pun-ishment, you gonna surprise me with a punlicious uppercut to knock me out colt?

I challenge you to an Equine Pun-off Golden Girl,

Don't take a fence, but I'm your worst night-mare. Come get some youngster,! - or are you pasture prime?

You shire about that? - Is that because we are a close-knit community? - kinda like neigh-bours?.

My horse has problems swimming in our pool, so I usually order dead sea salt alongside the chlorine, cork his nostrils and put arm bands on his legs, he loves it! - look, the small matter of floatation and that he is stable is the mane priority.

I would say something about the nerd comment, but I don't want to stirrup any trouble.

- groan-tastic!

[Insert tumbleweed & ambient cricket noise sfx here]

I meant a scenario where the servers stay where we are, we stay where we are.... only with a lot less support and longer delays because its additional for any potential remote U.S administration.

No its NC West thats doing the consolidating (as Its looks after the western business), COH doesn't even exist for NC Korea anymore, that playerbase were all shuffled off to the US servers quite a while ago.

Short term: no change (albeit possible US Forum migration).
Long Term: Pack your suitcases, I can't see it lasting without an EU.team to cater for our support.

I think they'll just wait for all the hullaballoo to quiet down before shuffling us over there this year sometime.

Any word what's gonna happen to us?

Afraid you'll all need to be patient to find out what happens with regards CoH in Europe. A whole helluva lot changed yesterday, and it's going to take some time for the folks at NCNC to formulate their plans going forward.

I have no wish to pull you up on your careful wording of the situation, (in fact I hope you're off down the pub again soon)... so I'll just ramble to the ether.

As of yesterday (according to NC West) these further redundancies finalised their restructuring plan, but according to the above statement Issued today indicates something further, some external situation that has happened that was not in NCNC's Internal game plan.

... Would that be a fair assumption?, or maybe I've just read that into the wording of your phrasing and seen political intrigue where there is none?.

Mumsies tip of the day™:

Overwhelmed by a Zombie Invasion?: Suck the eyes from attacking zombies using a Black and Decker DustBuster™. The zombies will then wander around aimlessly and can be dispatched by the usual methods at a more leisurely pace.

Fan of Hero1?: Simulate a Rikti Invasion/abduction by drinking two bottles of Vodka, you'll invariably wake up in a strange place the following morning with a grey Pallor and a communication abnormality, having had your memory mysteriously erased.
