All hail Japanese overlords
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Maybe this mean's we'll get a Japanese/East Asian Zone...
Yeah...prolly not.

If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
Goodbye, I guess.

that said, when the american company of our competitors online was sold from a French company to a Chinese one, there was no new content added to reflect the change, and i doubt we will see any in the shift in stock leverage to another Korean company with its new hq in tokyo. I'm just really adding more nudging for more eastern content in the game.
This kind of makes my skin crawl a little because Nexon games (MapleStory, Mabinogi, etc) tend to be typical Asian-style grindfests. I sincerely hope they don't try to press City into such a beast. The beauty in City is that you don't HAVE to grind to get where you want to go (it's faster to, obviously, yes; Nexon's games pretty much require grinding).

I'll hope that I'll get some Tokusatsu style costume peices, but this is most likely no differen than the Disney acquisition of Marvel, at best it brings more funding, at worst it changes nothing.

I'll miss you all.
I am both intrigued and apprehensive at this news.

So, I don't know what you've done with the real Golden Girl, but you're pretty awesome.
Also, yes. Yes. Very yes. |

Nexon bought up a bunch of NCSoft stock, they're now the single largest shareholder at 19%. |
I don't think that this will affect CoH in any way. If anything, they are trying to cash in on the Asian games before NCKorea releases "Blade and Soul."
Since Aion is still a huge money maker in Korea, I'd say NCKorea is looking to pass off Aion and some of their other games to Nexon so they can focus time and money on Blade and Soul.
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats

I'd like to remind them that as a trusted forum personality, I could be helpful in rounding up others to farm in their underground incarnate caves.
They only have 14.7% and are the largest minority shareholder. NCsoft itself still owns the majority.

Hey, maybe Sparkblade (though understandable why) and Rose Star (much less understandable since she has no apparent unique Powers) can get some 'screen time'.

So yeah, the sky ain't falling and Nexon AREN'T our new Japanese overlords; NCSoft remain our South Korean overlords.

Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
Forgive the ignorance, what does all this mean for the game? If they want a piece of the pie and decides to leave the game alone? Meh. But if they have plans or ideas there should be some sort of announcement about any changes that will change everything.

I don't care who buys NCsoft.
I care about who buys Paragon Studios.
Which I hope one day will be me, once my plan to win the lottery actually comes to fruition.

edit: Here's the article
Nexon purchased 3.2 million NCSoft shares, a 14.7 percent stake, from NCSoft Chairman Kim Taek-Jin for 250,000 won apiece, it said in a statement today. That's 6.7 percent less than today's closing price in Seoul for NCSoft, which offers online games including Lineage and Aion.
Nexon sees "a lot of opportunities" for acquisitions in Asia, North America, and Europe, Chief Financial Officer Owen Mahoney said last month. The Tokyo-based company is interested in investing in companies that develop games for Facebook Inc. and mobile-phone users, he said at the time.
NCSoft, based in Seoul, rose 0.4 percent to 268,000 won in trading on the city's stock exchange today before the announcement. Nexon fell 0.2 percent to 1,319 yen on the Tokyo stock exchange today.
