Today, we had to let go of some of the great talent at En Masse Entertainment. While a tough decision, it was necessary as we prepare for the next chapter of our business. TERA has been a great launch for us, and we are committed to our loyal players. We're taking measures to align the needs of our business to continue supporting TERA and preparing for our future. We are working with those affected by this transition, including offering assistance on new prospects within the industry/area. If there are companies who are looking for talented people with publishing experience, please send an email with the details to [email protected].

Mm.

Well, I expected this. They stole a bunch of stuff from NcSoft and the legal battles over it have drained them. I mean, they stole the main code, which is why Lineage 3 has been on delay, and they actually stole physical computers that were company property.

So fighting NCSoft, which has much more money, is their slow death.
