It's good to know that despite our political alignments being different and perhaps coming at the problem from different angles, we're in full agreement about taking care of your emplolyees.

Are you afraid Lum will pass along a keylogger? He's so sneaky!

Are you afraid Lum will pass along a keylogger? He's so sneaky! No doubt. However I was being lazy. Title: Re: NCsoft releases a few more staff in the West Post by: Signe on February 12, 2009, 10:41:47 AM Ah. I can relate to that. Lots.

This is the latest round of retrenchments. It's NCsoft hitting the underperforming NCWest division. Again.

Weren't the serves together, then with the Europe launch they let some people move to those servers, and now they are shutting them down? Wow... The European servers have been up for a while, but I don't think the German- and French-(?) servers would have enough players to justify continuing and all the English speaking players can fit into the NA servers. EDIT: Adam Martin has some good insights - bye bye NCOrigin, hello NCArenaNet (http://t-machine.org/index.php/2009/02/12/ncwest-stage-1-complete-farewell-european-mmo-industry/). |
