What my pessimism is saying (and hey, I do security for a living; I'm paid to think in terms of worst cases) is that NCSoft might see Missing Worlds being a viable acquisition for Perfect World because of the City IP licensing. NCSoft hates Perfect World. I mean Steve Jobs going nuclear on Google levels of hatred.
