ANNOUNCEMENT: Guild Launch Acquired by NCSoft!
Guild Launch Acquired by NCSoft!
Edit 1:40pm EST: Yes, it's an April fools, in case you were wondering.
The veil of secrecy has been lifted and we are now able to discuss the finalization of NCSoft's acquisition of Guild Launch, LLC. We've been working very hard for the last few months to finalize NCSoft's purchase of Guild Launch and are extremely excited about the future of Guild Launch as a member of the NCSoft team.
Here at Guild Launch we are awestruck by NCSoft's heritage in gaming and what their acquisition of Guild Launch will allow us to deliver to you all. When I think of the great games brought to us by NCSoft, such as Tabula Rasa and the mega hit Auto Assualt I can't wait to see what their corporate stewardship will enable us to bring to Guild Hosting.
To start the acquisition off with a bang, in our upcoming 3.9 patch we will be releasing full and complete support for Auto Assault. This isn't just Auto Assault support via roster icons, progression images and class information, that is to be expected. Our new features include Auto Assault and NCSoft branded features all across Guild Launch.
Get your engines revving for the features we will be bringing to you, including:
The Auto Assault Guild Garage
Use this feature to analyze your guild's stats and class makeup and perform tuneups on your guild. Could your Rogue spec differently? Does your Druid need more +Healing? This feature will allow you to find out!
Think of the Auto Assualt Guild Garage like a Twin Turbo for your DPS and you will understand this feature. The Auto Assault Guild Garage will undoubtedly help your guild put the pedal to the metal and assault new content!
The City of Heroes Helpful Heroe Widget
This widget allows you to setup a PayPal donation widget that goes directly to your charity of choice. Now Guild Launch, NCSoft and your guild can be a Heroe for charity.
The City of Villains
This is a special forum we will be releasing in 3.9 where only people who have been banned from at least 1 guild site can post. Members who have been banned from multiple guild sites will be given special ranks in this forum such as "Uber Spammer", "Kicked, But Not Out","Super Troll" and "Loot Ninja!".
Even a villain needs a place to call home!
The Guild Wars Guild Launch Battlefield
This Flash game will be hosted on the Launchpad and will use a secret algorithm to allow Guild Launch guilds to battle it out using guild stats to determine the winner. Does your guild's 10000 forums posts beat that other guilds 500 members? Does your 50 posts per day beat that other guilds 10 applications per day? Find out on The Guild Wars Guild Launch Battlefield!
Join in a Guild War like no other! Does your guild have what it takes to win!?!?!
As you can see this acquisition is bringing some awesome fresh ideas to Guild Launch. We're very happy to be with you all as we start a new chapter in Guild Launch's future.
Sincerely,
Stephen

could we please have this for real ? Maybe if you have a crappy spec it could scroll a marquee across the screen telling the user to respec because their spec sucks?
