Or we could go all Bond villainy and induce the North Koreans to invade the south. That should hurt NCSoft's bottom line. |

This to me feels like a rip-off. Like "Thanks for the money, enjoy your non-existent game! No refunds!"

I realize that, but I would've expected CoH to get cut if say I24 would've been disappointing and caused many people to unsub voluntarily. Not have to be forcibly kicked out.

Hacking? Seriously?
What that other guy said about buying up controlling stock in NCSoft is a better idea. No wait, getting all the stock and then making the company private again is even better than that! Move their entire operations from Korea to the U.S. and cancel all of their other projects and turn them into a CoH machine forever.
Success! That is living well.

That was me being nice. I WANTED to tell him to do something impossible to himself, to get a life, and to stop being a pitiful, whiny brat over a game. This shmuck advocated doing harm to a company that provides entertainment to millions and livelihoods to thousands. I don't really care if it was facetious - it's out of line and immoral.

Yep.

To the rest of you, Love you all, But you need to lighten the hell up.
Edit: And for the record, I wasn't kidding about the computer science/hacking thing, But yeah, I'm probably not going to hack NCsoft. Too much sh*t to worry about.

Not true - you are charging them with bandwidth costs if you already own the game. Also, playing a game doesn't equal living badly.

I'm as angry as many of you and maybe angrier than some of you, but planning to be a constant thorn in NCSoft's side is unsustainable. Believe me, they'll present plenty of opportunities for us in the coming years anyway, and so will people you know (any time someone asks your opinion about an NCSoft game is an opportunity to warn them off). In fifteen years of MMO gaming I've never seen sentiments for harassment grow into a movement. That's because most human beings cannot sustain their anger along a prolonged destructive coarse of action with no productive gain in sight; which is good, those who can often end up in jail or something.
However, I've seen more than one online gaming community come back swinging from the ashes, when they took their anger and resentment and channeled it into something to feel great about; something that could eventually erode their anger and turn it into a sense of real achievement. Entire game studios have been built on the ashes of communities cut down before their time.

My revenge is simply to not ever again knowingly spend any money on an NCSoft product. And to strongly discourage anyone else from doing so either. (I can't prevent anyone from buying NCSoft products, but I sure can give people a piece of my mind.) From a strictly consumer-oriented standpoint, this is all any of us can do... take our dollars elsewhere.
It doesn't matter how good any of their current or future products might be. Even if GW2 were the Second Coming of the Gaming J.C. (as some had made it out to be), it wouldn't be enough.
NCSoft made their bed, and now they have to lie in it. Let someone else support their product development... me, I'm done with them.

IF you were to hammer ANY BBB office, at least make it the one in Seattle where their north american offices are located.

They may have gone about the closing of the game in the worse possible way. (I can't really describe that properly without profanity. Feel free to spice it up in your head.) But they haven't committed a crime. At all. We all knew the game would close its doors at some point.
