Wow. you couldn't be more wrong. NCsoft is probably THE most know MMORPG provider in the entire world. Lineage and Lineage 2, both NCsoft titles, have over 1.5 Million active subscribers, and at its peak, Lineage 2 had over 4 million active subscribers (this was around Chronicle 3). City of Heroes/Villains has a close 160k subscribers, which is above average, and Guild Wars did well with over 2 million box sales, and there are a lot more mmorpg titles that NCsoft never brought to the west. the only flop was Auto Assault. its close to impossible to have a better reputation in mmo gaming then NCsoft has now. NCsoft stands for quality.
NCSoft has done very well, especially in Asia. Having said that, given declining sales with CoH/V, the Auto Assault disaster and the fact that they've already had to make cut backs, it could affect whether or not they release Tabula Rasa, no? Or any other game that is financially draining if they don't think it'll have a postitive reception? I have to wonder how many people lost interest when they suddenly changed the game style....
