If they settled does that not mean that NCSofts case had merit?

I guess they could have just figured it would be cheaper to settle than to challenge it, but if they didn't fear losing they wouldn't be worrying about getting back the legal costs from the losing party anyway.

These lawsuits can't possibly be helping the bottom line of these companies.

Court documents (dated January 2012) don't say how or what about the settlement, but were an interesting read. It does show more of what Lineage III would have been and what NC did implement of it in Lineage II's GoD expansion.

He said TERA will continue to thrive...after all the layoffs. I wish the game well. Boring PvE and no real PvP but great action combat and pretty graphics.

Open world PVP and guild vs guild are most assuredly "real" pvp, if you prefer INSTANCED PVP, that is being added before the end of the month too, but on this site you'll find most people think instanced PVP isn't real PVP...

NCSoft has seen how TERA has done, and figured they'd get a cash settlement now, before they [Bluehole] go bankrupt. They also know the world knows the truth, that TERA was ripped from them, no matter how Bluehole proclaims their innocence. Their senior devs WILL end up serving time, once the appeals process finishes.

Go NCSoft!!!

Just read the filing for the first time, wow that is really disapointing. They really pulled a number on Nc Soft, I really regret spending money on Tera.

I originally read that Ncsoft was going to scrap the code for lineage 3 so employees stole it to continue development and it was Tera..After reading this i wont play Tera anymore.I have a personal beef with Ncsoft but Tera is actually the reason there is no Lineage 3 right now....And not the other way around.I hope they still make Lineage 3.
