I like NCsoft!
I don't think they're evil in the least.
In January of 2004, "something" happened that prompted me to look into NCsoft. After a little investigation, I agreed with what ArenaNet said. NCsoft is a great parent company. I like the way NCsoft presents themselves. When you look at MMORPGs, there are not too many options for developers. Who you going to go with... SOE... Microsoft? As you can see with Sigil Games, it was tough on either side.
Still... I think it's a good idea to keep an eye on NCsoft. Guild Wars is the best game they've got. No matter how good Guild Wars is, if the other games fail... that could be very bad news for ArenaNet. NCsoft basically makes fee based MMORPGs. World of Warcraft has ruined that market. If Lineage II, City of Heroes and Tabula Rasa followed a similar pricing model as Guild Wars, I would have all three of those games... and I would likely have fansites too.
Maybe NCsoft should do what SOE does... an all access pass.
Now that would be awesome!
