Feb 19th, 2009 by www8504
Downplaying poor first quarter financial results, NC Soft CEO Geoff Health said the company will do fine without any titles this year. The company reported a 43 percent hit to its profits for the first quarter, but Heath said that as an MMOG developer, NC Soft could counterbalance loosed by improving on established gw gold services for games like city of Heroes, Guild Wars and Tabula Rasa. This is a pretty robust business, if you get it right you have only got to look at World of Warcraft. Heath explained, although no other MMOG had actually come close to achieving that game subscriber base.
Nonetheless, Heath said that growing the base of his company MMOG was the main part of his plan: With the online games business of using necessary GuildWars Gold, it is all about growing your subscriber base. If you can do that by improving on your existing products, you do not necessarily have the pressure of getting a product out to market to make your revenue for the year.
Game publisher NC soft and voice chat company Vivox have announced a deal to bring an advanced voice portal to NC soft games. The portal will provide layers will have the ability to communicate with scalable, full featured voice within and across NC soft games, according to a Vivox press release. It will also enable extra Guild Wars Gold and features such as voice mail, voice fonts and out of game communication like phones and text messaging.
Voice is a significant feature for the ongoing development of the NC soft community, said Peter Jarvis, vice president of operations at NC soft North America. By partnering with Vivox, we will be able to offer our players a commanding set of communication tools and also some GuildWars money that will simplify communications amongst the player base with far reaching options. Vivox is the clear leader in quality, features and operational excellence and we anticipate a successful integration and long term relationship. NC soft based in Korea with U.S. development and publishing houses in Texas and California was behind the publishing of popular Lineage and City of Heroes and Guild Wars series.
I think this game is honestly to addicting. I am anticipating Guild Wars. Castle Seiges FTW, I have a feeling all I will be doing is sitting and pvping with cheap gw gold. But back to the current Guild Wars, the reason behind me thinking this game is honestly addicting is I have every character class at level 20 and then an extra elementalist. XD I have not met anyone else on Guild Wars who has played every class until level 20 and still has them.
