All in all it appears NCsoft has once again blown their numbers away in virtually every category. These numbers are just incredible folks.

Costs (Taxes and Expenses) were about even from Q3 2009 to Q4 2009 (Page 8) so in other words all the increase in the numbers is almost all pure profit.

*** On a personal note, this means NCsoft has more than enough money and can afford to go out and hire some @#$%^! GMs...

No suprise Aion leading the pack for NCsoft but that will all change once Guild Wars 2 gets here. Maybe in Korea it will get a 31% sales increase but definitely not in NA/EU regions.
No wonder about Aion, because this new game really on of the top rated... it's like Atlantica Online in the graphics, I must try this game once i'm done with AO which is very fun game to play...
Wait, where's Zorndorf?
He should be on this thread before anyone else, bashing NCsoft, saying this financial report is a fraud.
Zorndorf always seems to in some way find unreliable random numbers for his reasonings against NCsoft...
Not to mention he firmly believes the server capacity from 10 years ago is still the standard for every MMO on the market.
GRIND sucks? You wanna be max level in a month?
Since when did society award easy-goers and lazy-fools?
MAKES ME PHOBIC OF STUPIDITY!
