NCSoft released their quarterly earnings report for the last quarter of 2008 today. The company’s sales and profits seem to be on the upswing, but the bad news is that according to the product lineup, we will not be getting Guild Wars 2 until 2010-2011. This makes sense for the company ...

Aion - Late year release corroborated
Funcom...riddle me this.. —
Kill Ten Rats is backing up a post I discussed earlier from the Aionsource forums. Seems the cat is out of the bag, and it is ALL bad news for NCSoft and their games. Aion will not launch til Q4 09, and GW2 is estimated around 2010-2011. Now, if you look at the data in the zip file linked here, you will note somethings of interest. More sales and subscribers are from Korea...and both L1 and L2 is HUGE. Also, if you look at the GW2 listing for launch, the 2010-2011 marker also says TBA. This is a horrible sign, and meets my expectations for 2009 ...
