Well, I won't be that optimistic. Their stupid chairman has been
dumping tones of money on his never-gonna-be-champion football team in
china Serie A League.Cause making money was a quite easy job a couple
years ago when he got WOW on hand. When WOW ruled the domestic market
of MMORPG game he never thought about any alternative plan, but

NCTY has a lot of cash and a history of blowing it. I think they have
like $10 in cash and are currently valued to not grow. I wouldn't buy
at anything over 10 until they pick up a few more FIFAs

I've been holding and sinking like a rock ever since $13. Do you
think the "worst case scenario" is already priced into this stock, and
it could be worth a few more bucks if the likes of FIFA online 2 take
off? Worth it to average down?

correct, the company has no debt and $315 mm in cash. roughly $11.26

Anyone hear anything lately? The stock has tanked in the last week or
so, didn't know if perhaps some of their lawsuits didn't pan out. The
crappy earnings are already priced in, so the9 giving a warning would
be irrelevant.

Server Sites for Fifa 2....Atlantica has 9 Server Sites and over
100.000 Peak Concurrent User (do the math)....may be Fifa can have a
push from world soccer championship event next year, but i dont think
many girls will play this kind of game.

in addition, i agree that WoW is a grade A cash cow, but I wouldn't be
so blind as to assume it will carry on forever.. eventually people
will get bored of the expansion packs, and it might come sooner than

Gamers don't care which company licenses and runs their servers
(unless they suck), they only care which games are the most fun to
play. Nothing can make up for a record breakingly popular game that
has unheard of profitability levels. From a business perspective WoW
is incredibly unique as far as games go and I don't see any future

Hi amit
I agree, it was a terrible decision,
I think in theory it may be profitable for Bliz in the long run, but
the9 have played this pretty well and WoW might lose players to other
games, one problem China does not have is a shortage of MMOs to
distract yourself with.
And yeah, everyone involved lost out, but maybe if WoW totally breaks

Re: holy hell

amitterme...@googlemail.com — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:38:48 UT

your right, if WoW delay further because of the lawsuites brought by
The9 and JX Online 3 starts open beta before WoW launches in China
again...

But nevertheless, i think this is the worst decision Blizzard ever
made, because this left only loosers => The9, Netease.com, Blizzard,
and last but not least the players

Re: holy hell

alex.lushni...@gmail.com — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:49:15 UT

An online poll by Sina.com showed that 53% of some 130,000 voters said
that they would continue with the NetEase-run WoW, while 21% would not
play anymore and 26% said they would “wait and see.” In another survey
on QQ.com, which drew more than 173,000 responses, only 35％ say they
would continue playing WoW when it returns.

Re: holy hell

alex.lushni...@gmail.com — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:15:58 UT

you're absoultely right, not to mention the 20 odd days that they now
have without a game at all and the possibility of losing data while
they change servers.
Do they reroll on another country's WoW server, or move to another
game? (i assume migration between chinese and for example korean
servers is not allowed).

Re: holy hell

ksaccica...@gmail.com — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:12:50 UT

Yeah, I do think blizzard should have offered to pay the9 for prepaid
cards and tokens instead of just hanging all those customers out to
dry, I can't imagine them wanting to continue playing after all the
crap they are going through.

Re: holy hell

alex.lushni...@gmail.com — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:54:58 UT

I imagine it's because the contract is already signed and the deal is
done.
Since nothing can change they are claiming that their rights were
violated the second the decision was made to take the game away
without compensating them for it.

Re: holy hell

ksaccica...@gmail.com — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:41:58 UT

I'm still a bit confused about the "their rights were violated" part.
Since netease doesn't have the game yet...are they claiming their
rights would be violated in the future??

Re: holy hell

alex.lushni...@gmail.com — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:49:38 UT

well, its unclear.
First, the translation is not just the actual job of translating the
game. Their problem is that their rights were violated. This is why
the price is higher than blizz just paying the9 for the translation.
Second, even though NTES said they want to improve the translation it
doesnt really say anything about the job that was done before. They

Re: holy hell

ksaccica...@gmail.com — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:36:59 UT

$20 million is a bit much for a translation that needs improvement
anyway don't you think?

Re: holy hell

amitterme...@googlemail.com — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:50:52 UT

i think Blizzard and Netease.com have to pay between 20-50 Mio. $ to
compensate translation for Wrath of the Lich King. The9 had a contract
to publish the 2nd add-on in china, but never get it..anyways, the
only chance for The9 is to survive is a merger with 9you or Kingsoft
Gaming and to do a second IPO after merger...

If this was a movie, NTES would be delayed for ages and the9 would get
contract back in exchange for dropping the charges and leaving WoW on
lol.
But seriously, it might even get settled out of court. I dont think
Blizzard want that kind of publicity. The9 could get some cash out of
it and prevent WoW from being played for a month or maybe a few months

Re: 3% up?

ksaccica...@gmail.com — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:09:43 UT

I honestly don't know which way the court cases will go, but the9

learn a valuable lesson about what happens when you take away a
company's main source of income.

The9 will cooperate with Kingsoft which is one of the best software

The product of Kinsoft WPS once competed with MS Word.
Now Kingsoft developed one of the most popular Chinese online game--JX
